The Review

Ori and the Will of the Wisps took the already stunning Blind Forest and elevated everything. The combat was overhauled from passive to deeply satisfying, the movement abilities chain together into fluid sequences that feel like dancing, and the art direction makes every screen wallpaper-worthy. Moon Studios built an emotional story told through animation and music that can make grown adults cry without a single line of dialogue.

Fun Fact

Moon Studios is a fully remote company with team members across 40 countries who had never met in person during most of the game's development.
