Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Moon Studios’ sequel to beloved metroidvania Ori and the Blind Forest might just be the best video game sequel I’ve played. With No Rest for the Wicked coming out soon, I thought it was a good time to look back at Ori and the Will of the Wisps and the state of the video game industry when it comes to video game sequels. After 2023 was full of sequels and remakes with Spider-Man 2, Baldur’s Gate 3, Pikmin 4, Alan Wake 2, Dead Island 2, the Dead Space Remake, Resident Evil 4 Remake, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, I thought I was getting tired of video game sequels. Especially after playing Ori and the Blind Forest, I wasn’t really looking forward to Ori and the Will of the Wisps. I thought I knew what to expect. But I was wrong. Moon Studios took my expectations for with an Ori and the Blind Forest sequel could be and totally surprised me. This sequel proved me wrong. Oh something something Lovecraft!
