Games like Ori and the Will of the Wisps

4.5average player rating•5 games

Ori is two things at once: one of the most beautiful games ever drawn, and a platformer demanding enough to make you replay a thirty-second stretch forty times. Depending on which half brought you here, these go different ways — and a couple manage both.

The picks

Ranked by player rating, Metacritic breaks ties.

1
Nine Sols
ActionAdventureIndie
Hand-drawn taopunk with a deflect-based combat system. The closest anyone has come to matching Ori's art with its own style.
4.7/5Player ratingView game
2
Ori and the Blind Forest
Action
The first one. Smaller and more linear, with an opening ten minutes that still ruins people.
4.7/5Player ratingMC88View game
3
Hollow Knight
ActionIndiePlatformer
The other pillar of the modern metroidvania — colder and lonelier, with a map that never stops opening.
4.4/5Player ratingMC88View game
4
Celeste
IndiePlatformer
For the precision half, not the exploring. Brutal platforming wrapped around the kindest story about panic ever written.
4.4/5Player ratingMC91View game
5
GRIS
AdventureIndiePuzzle
All of Ori's beauty and grief with almost none of the difficulty — a watercolour you move through rather than fight.
