Ori and the Will of the Wisps released earlier this year for Xbox One and Windows, and last month it was ported to the Nintendo Switch. Back in March when I originally reviewed the Xbox One release, I indicated that it was an early contender for game of the year. And now, having played through the game again for this Nintendo Switch version review, I?ll 100% stand by my earlier statement. It?s an absolute joy of a game, one of the best examples of a ?Metroidvania? platformer on the market, and it?s no less fun to play through a second time.
I also played a chunk of the game via handheld mode and on a Switch Lite with no real issues to report. The controls felt great and responsive in any mode, and it?s certainly nice having access to the game on the go. Outside of a reduced resolution, you?d be hard-pressed to find any significant difference between the Switch version of Ori and the Will and Wisps and the Xbox One version of the game.
Absolutely pick up Ori and the Will of the Wisps if you haven?t had a chance to experience it so far. It?s still one of the best games I?ve played all year, and it?s a real standout amongst any ?Metroidvania? style game I?ve ever played. It?s definitely a joy to play, and no less so on the Nintendo Switch.
Note: iam8bit provided us with an Ori and the Will of the Wisps Switch code for review purposes.
