Where to begin with this.....

I just completed the game, and I can say, it takes a lot to move me emotionally with games. Moon Studios has now done that twice with me. Twice have they brought me to tears with a video game, two games in fact. Words cannot describe just how pleased I am with the games they make, and just how much I look forward to anything they plan on releasing in the future.

So WotW builds on the platformer-heavy first game with a smooth vein of combat, and it works really well. You can use enemies to help get across treacherous terrain, in fact it is encouraged in some areas, and most of the abilities you use double as ways to damage and defeat enemies.
The world of the game feels very fleshed out, and it immerses you in it with how everything moves with and against you. Ori, despite being a small spirit, does have weight, and it shows on objects. As well, the world will change as you progress, with the only part of things feeling easier being spike damage (early area spike damage will always be less than later areas').
If anything, I absolutely recommend buying this at full price, as the cost is fully justified. I'd even say that 30 USD is too cheap for this, as Moon went all out with this.
