Speaking from the perspective of the original HK, Ori's gameplay is much more simplistic and so is the story.
Silksong's storytelling ain't as good. Hornet spelling out everything spoils a lot of the mystery.

Yes, HK seems very combat centered whole Ori is more of an adventure game, which I personally prefer. Visually a lot more pleasant as well, I'm a bit tired of pixelart. I didn't notice that much difference in gameplay, but I guess you have to play it to understand it.
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.

PoP Lost Crown has solid platforming and fun combat but the story is mediocre.

Don't really care much about the story, rewarding exploration and enjoyable platforming, those are key for me for a metroidvania. I'll give PoP a try, but does it really come with an emulator? There's no proper pc version for it?

Platforming is great, but the explotation and mystery aspects are much worse than in HK, I agree with Nodrim. You mostly find pointless currency in the hidden nooks.

Anyone who's having excessive difficulty with the game, you need to (minor item spoilers)  Spoiler: | find the Wanderer's Crest that basically gives you the first game's moveset, it's got shorter range but you attack much, much faster, and your down attack is straight down instead of that 45 degree bullshit. |
I guess the runback to the A1 boss got people pretty tilted but for me it was 30 seconds max. Still annoying but nothing to rage about. But yeah there's no need not to have a bench closer to the boss, this is just padding game length, but its easily fixed.
My main issue with the game are things that CANT be fixed as they are baked into the design of the game. The quests as mentioned above, are usually some MMO fetch quest shit, get 25 of some item crap and there are a lot of them.
The BIGGEST flaw of the game is the talking protagonist. I understand she talked in the first game so its only logical that she talks in this one, but the problem is you can piece together some murky lore just from playing the game, and in the next dialogue with an NPC, she'll basically explain it all with some clumsy exposition. Show, don't tell.. this isn't a goddamn JRPG.
Kind of kills the mystery of the game that they absolutely mastered and apparently forgot how to do in this game. |
Appreciated. I'm using Reaper crest as main, but a few arenas were really giving me nightmares. The ones with ants were much easier with Wanderer crest. Those multi enemy arenas are the hardest thing about this game for me. Same for bosses that spawn extra enemies. Normal bosses are easy compared to that, simply because there's little random element present. With multiple enemies on the screen, you can hardly predict from where hits will come.
