“Top two best platformers ever made. There's a tonal shift from the first, this game is more cheerful. Boss fights were done very well. Escape sequences felt a little more gimmicky this time around, but it's not a big…”
“story is gud as hell love the bash mechanics the best metroidvania games ive ever played visually”
“Improves upon everything the first "Ori" game did well and not so well. Has one of the best flowing 2D platforming movement I've played in a game. The time intervals you collect upgrades even flows well. Excellent…”

“One of the all time best metroidvanias, and a great sequel to the first Ori game. Tight controls, great platforming, beautiful art and music, engaging story. Highly recommended”

“Absolutely disgusting final boss mechanism, leaves an absolute sense of malice towards these game developers and I will be sure to NEVER purchase anything from these sadists again. While I can appreciate a challenge, I…”
“Another genius installment by Moon Studios. I 100% completed the game (in-game, not Steam achievements, some of those are just impossible for me), and I am already missing all of the characters. It's so effing good.…”

“The game is great, except when they throw the 1 hit, blind speedrun mechanic at you after every wisp found. Then you you have to learn the route as you play, and every time you make a mistake it's instadeath, then back…”

“Feels like a remake of first game (big sad bird, music, etc), I felt that lovey-dovey mood is little bit overdone. Still, a worthy successor, good amount mechanics added.”
“I found the gameplay more engaging than in Ori and the Blind Forest, since your attacks don't have auto aim. The mechanics and the puzzles were also more interesting. The music and graphics are just as good, but I feel…”
“Fun game! Not very hard, nor mechanically difficult to play. The story is a little melodramatic and the ending quite sad. Great graphics and nice explorative level design, however it doesn't control as tight as Hollow…”

“The Ori series is one of the first that comes to mind when it comes to art. From the visuals to the music to the story, everything is perfectly aligned, creating a deep emotional connection to the characters and the narrative. The 25 hours I spent with it were absolutely worth…”
— a player, Steam review · 26 hrs played“Beautiful visuals, especially with HDR and some tweaks. Great music, fun platforming and awkward boss fights mostly because I sucked at combat. Overall pretty good.”
— a player, Steam review · 16 hrs played“Outstanding game! A truly worthy sequel, it improves upon almost everything from its prequel: even more beautiful and fun! And it still might make you cry!”
