How is it
if u havent played the sequel this is gonna be a solid game, but if you have, it's gonna be dogshit
>>719772547Really good. The definitive edition adds two abilities that don't need to be there and fuck up the pacing, but the game's atmosphere, art, music, and movement are still sublime. The sequel drank too much Hollow Knight juice and adds a bunch of dead weight, but both are very much worth playing.
>>719772669>Hollow Knight juicewhat the fuck are you talking about. WotW adds full action combat, DMC mechanics and lots of different weapons.Hollow knight doesn't even have combat apart from a pissy little swipe you spam.
>>719772879everyone is hollow brained right now so they need to draw a comparison for w/e reason
>>719772547Really gooD:D i liked it more than hollow knight.
It's pretty good and its artstyle is amazingPlay the sequel too afterwards
>>719772547It's about a 7/hollow knight
>>719772879Compared to Ori 1 - Same style of traveling NPCs as HK, same style of equippable spirit shards as HK charms, increased emphasis on combat and bosses, platforming heavily scaled back, introduction of a currency system, introduction of a hub town, overt sidequests, you have to find an NPC to get the map for an area...Most of the weapons didn't need to exist and not making bash its own button was moronic. I liked WotW well enough but the game was bloated and unfocused compared to Blind Forest.
I like 'em better than Hollow Knight.Btw Ori is a playable character in Rivals of Aether 1, very faithful recreation too.
it's a platformer with some basic combat, not really a metroidvania. everyone compares it to hollow knight but it's closer to sonic than it is HK. I got bored after a few hours
>>719772547>definitive editiondon't do that
>>719773142>traveling NPCsbeen a thing in countless games since the 1990s>equippable spirit shardsthese are just basic buffs. again in countless games before HK & Souls. perfected in FF7s materia system in 1997.>increased emphasis on combat and bossesExcept ori has an actual moveset, combos, depth and real boss fights where as HK doesn't have real combat.>platforming heavily scaled backliterally not true>introduction of a currency systemyeah that's really rare for games to have. Ori 1 also has a points spending system.>introduction of a hub town>overt sidequestsAgain and adventure game standard.>you have to find an NPC to get the map for an area...Tingle from Loz
Does anyone else prefer 1 to 2? Am I literally alone in this? Don't get me wrong I loved both but 1 just felt so much more cohesive and driven
>>719772669>too much Hollow Knight juiceoh my god dont open this shit again. i know the dev seethed about hk but he was like 90% right. i think there was one thing i was sus on but all the comparisons are insanely superficial
>>719772547is good
>>719772547 Depends on what you're looking for. If you just want a smooth, emotional platformer with tight controls and gorgeous visuals, it's top tier. But if you're expecting deep Metroidvania exploration or complex combat, you're gonna feel the seams. Still, worth playing just for the art and music alone.
>>719772547>Ori
>>719772547It's an indie game for gay peoples
