Game Informer 95

The story is fantastic, the world is breathtaking, and all of that pales in comparison to the wonderfully made gameplay that soars both as a platforming and combat game. Moon Studios has outdone itself with Will of the Wisps, delivering an experience that doesn’t have any lulls, makes the player feel clever, and just keeps getting better as it goes.

Backed by an amazing art style, a great soundtrack and a selection of heartwarming characters to take you through the story, Ori and the Will of the Wisps is pure platforming perfection.

Twinfinite 90

As long as the performance issues are completely ironed out in the near future, this is one platformer that’ll long be remembered.

DualShockers 85

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is an exceptional adventure that every Xbox One owner should play.

GameSpot 80

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a remarkable synthesis of artful design and beautiful moments.

Polygon

Ori and the Will of the Wisps offers a gorgeous world to explore and a varied, creative series of abilities and tasks that guide my exploration and help me see more of this wonderful place. It expands my options in combat and offers me more to do, and mostly benefits from that added complexity, while losing some of its focus in the process. Overall, however, it’s a worthy trade off.
