![]() Will of the Wisps boasts some extraordinary gameplay to go with its affecting story. This is a game that will stay with you long after you've watched the credits roll. Moon Studios already demonstrated its ability to produce strong emotions and memorable personalities in Blind Forest, but in Will of the Wisps the developer goes one step further, developing Ori's character arc, introducing a large ensemble of colorful denizens, and delivering some incredibly moving, tearful scenes, including one of the most bittersweet endings you'll see all year. During the search for Ku, Ori discovers a blighted landscape in need of a champion. Ori and Ku celebrate with a flight but stray too close to a violent storm and crash down far apart from each other in the unknown land of Niwen, across the sea from Nibel. When the enterprising Gumo attaches a large feather (a keepsake from Ku's mother) to the owlet, she finds herself able to fly. The forest spirit Ori lives a happy life in Nibel with an adopted family that includes a young owl, Ku, born with a deformed wing. Will of the Wisps takes place after the events of Ori and the Blind Forest. The game could use a few more boss battles and at the moment it suffers from some performance issues, but overall it's a stellar example of the sub-genre that makes Moon Studios the team to beat moving into the next generation. ![]() By delivering fluid, death-defying platforming, a large, interconnected world populated with charming NPCs, rewarding side-quests, versatile combat, a bittersweet story, and stunning art direction, developer Moon Studios has turned in one of the best Metroidvania titles in a decade.
