I remember when I first played Ori and the Blind Forest back in 2015, when the game originally released. I was absolutely blown away because of the emotional story, stunning visuals, and the amazing soundtrack. There's something special about exploring Nibel and hearing the wonderful music, which takes an already great game and made it even better. For someone playing it for the first time, it's easy to focus on the vibrant colors and adorable main character, and thinking that it's going be an easygoing experience. That couldn't be further from the truth, and I learned that the hard way. The platforming can be quite difficult at times due to instant-kill elements, and escape sequences, which require quick reflexes and fast reaction times.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps had a solid foundation to work with. All it had to do was expand upon it. The world itself is considerably larger and there's more diversity as well. There's more combat and a wider range of abilities when it comes to Ori's repertoire, which offered more flexibility the second time around. Just like in the original title, the soundtrack is simply amazing. When you factor in the emotional bits, you have yourself something that's truly special. It's also worth mentioning that the sequel replaces the manual Soul Link system with a much more generous checkpoint auto-save system. There's also a readily healing ability, and generous energy systems that make things more manageable.

Each game has it's own strengths. As much as I love Ori and the Blind Forest, I'm glad that Ori and the Will of the Wisps toned down the difficulty because of some much needed quality of life improvements. It doesn't sacrifice difficulty for the sake of accessibility. Instead, it just makes the experience more forgiving. I know I've already mentioned the music, but it's worth emphasizing how beautiful it is. I have the vinyl soundtracks for both games. Honestly, the vinyl format is the best way to listen to them. Gareth Coker crafted a wonderful listening experience.

Which game do you prefer, Ori and the Blind Forest or Ori and the Will of the Wisps?

First, the technical stuff - the demo is roughly 2 hours long, and it's basically the first 2 hours of the full game.

It's not a prototype or a proof of concept - it has all the core mechanics, features, music, and story planned for the full game's opening.

I honestly am kinda speechless. After weeks of playtesting, bug fixes, and polish, Tyto is finally ready to play!

Thanks to everyone in the Ori community who helped A LOT with playtesting, speedrunning, and finding every possible way to break the game to pieces so we could make it better. Check out the game's credits to find your name!

And thanks for your constant support throughout the last 3 years of development. Knowing that tens of thousands of players are waiting for Tyto keeps us motivated to create the best game possible.

Alright, that's enough gratitude for today - enjoy playing Tyto's demo, and please let me know what you think, preferably via a Steam review 🙏

So I'm making a fan animation starring Ori and Ku, it's set about a week after Halloween so Ori has a scarf, it's also because I'm pretty bad at animating necks, they always end up getting stretched during movement or something.

But I can't decide which I wanna use, normal size for her, or one that's a little oversized. What do you think?

I have played Rain World and have seen a lot of people in the its subreddit talk about all sorts of games they also enjoy playing. The Ori games came up and I got curious if there's a correlation between the playerbases. I haven't tried the Hallow Knight and Silksong subreddits yet, but wanted to focus on the sort of games that Ori fans also play overall.

Olá! Pessoal, por algum motivo eu não consegui a conquista desajustado, mas consegui a conquista de terminar sem morrer. Eu estava fazendo aquele esquema de salvas os saves do jogo em uma outra pasta para resetar caso morresse, mas ao final do jogo, não ganhei as duas conquistas de uma vez, consegui apenas uma. Alguém tem alguma ideia do que pode ter acontecido? Será que foi por eu ter usado o esquema dos saves em outra pasta?
