Nearly perfect because it also really needs a performance patch but after that it'll be perfect. I was already in love with the first game and this one is even better. Don't sleep on this this year.

Is it as floaty as the original? Going from Celeste to Ori was such a bad decision - crisp and tight controls to floaty controls sucked

No, but there is this really weird bug I'm getting at the Silent Woods combat shrine where I become really floaty if I'm not on the ground. I'm talking my dashes carrying me way farther than they're supposed to.

Really glad they decided to focus on the combat.
I am too, it's really fun and the variety in abilities is nice.

I'm not sure I'd call it floaty. Ori is lighter I guess you can say, but the controls feel tight.

The physics go wonky? Bleh, yeah, crap like this should be fixed pretty soon. It's really the only thing dragging it down for me. But it alone is really bad, it's so numerous.

I usually am not into that, like in Trine 2.

No, but I would. The only game I would describe as a masterpiece.

Nope. At most they almost always boil down to "how do I even get there" and that's it.

I wouldn't say heavy, but there are a few things you're expected to figure out on your own.

I wouldn't say have to but I really recommend it. Story picks up after the first one ends and you'd miss out on the context of that and his family and identity.

I can only think of one puzzle in the entire thing, and it's pretty easy to figure out.

I haven't played the new one yet, but I have heard it starts immediately where the first game left off. So yeah, you should probably play the first game before playing the new one.

Thanks Ya'll, I'm going to keep this on my watch list.
I just got a new job, so I'm letting my money recharge a bit, and only have about $20 on my steam account.

But that game does look really cool.

They are. I knew nothing of Blind Forest, the only reason I got it was because it looked pretty. Didn't expect it to be so gorgeous that you can honestly say every frame is a wallpaper.

Good question. Maybe it's because Moon Studios isn't in just one building?

Possibly. It's just to the extreme extent I enjoyed it, I highly doubt the other games this year will top it, despite looking forward to a few.

Yeah

its inexcusably bad, at least on xbone

game frequently will pause for like five seconds at a time, and for a metroidvania it takes an inordinately long time to load the map menu

they should be embarrassed that they released it in this state

Ouch. Wonder how it is on PC.

But that aside there's just too many games coming out, lol. Not gonna have time for the new Ori and Nioh 2 when Doom Eternal is right around the corner.

The slowdowns haven't been too bad on Xbox One X, but the audio glitches are rough. I don't know if it's specific to the Luma pools area, but like half the sound effects dropped out for the last 20 minutes or so that I've played.

It happened to me on my second playthrough at Luma Pools, too. Right before the boss, and throughout it. Kind of took it down a notch, I was really sad.

Dunno what it was though but while it still had performance issues, they felt less numerous.

Some of them can be tricky! Near the end you can do a sidequest that shows every collectible you still need and that helps a lot. Other than that, there might be a few tricky spots needing to be filled in.
