10 Best Xbox Series X Games (So Far)
7. Ori And The Will Of The Wisps
Ori And The Will Of The Wisps, the long-awaited follow-up to 2015's Ori And The Blind Forest, is a heartfelt tale of friendship which is as beautiful and expressive as its art style.
Taking place just after the events of the first game, the sequel saw adorable critter Ori explore a vast and sprawling new world in search of his new friend Ku after becoming separated during a storm. Alongside the emotional tale which drove the plot forward, the moment-to-moment gameplay was all about fast-paced action and platforming where movement and fluidity was the key to success.
In a game where precise timing can mean the difference between success and failure, Will Of The Wisps’ next gen optimisation offered players the chance to experience Ori’s adventure at 120fps at a 4K resolution.
However, don’t fret if you don’t own a display that supports that framerate. This game also includes an alternative mode that runs at a solid 60fps and makes the visuals even more beautiful by outputting a 4K resolution from a super sampled 6K image.
Loading is likewise instantaneous, and – even better – the next gen upgrade bolsters audio enhancements to make the soaring soundtrack sound as incredible as possible.
