It s great to see ori taking things from hollow knight to make itself an even better.
Ori and the will of the wisps hollow knight. But it s as you said shocking how much they lifted right out of hollow knight for ori 2. Ori and the will of the wisps. For instance moon studios told us that if nintendo is up for it it would love to see ori in smash. Also combat has been greatly improved it seems as well as actual boss fights now.
And now that ori has a sword he s a viable character for a variety of crossover appearances. Mar 11 1 07pm everything in hollow knight was taken from the best metroidvanias and 2d platformers. So there you have it ori and the will of the wisps didn t get its sword from hollow knight but from the cutting floor of blind forest. Ori and the will of the wisps wasn t inspired by hollow knight.
I love both ori and the blind forrest and hollow knight. It was a love letter to those. Seems they taken some ideas from hollow knight. Ori 2 is ditching the leveling up tree in favor of hollow knight s charms.
