I don't know who is more stupid: the players who cried about this or the devs for actually doing it?

To be fair now, Ori and the Blind Forest was complete and bug-free on release (or if there were bugs, I never encountered them). Definitive Edition added more content and some convenience features, it wasn't at all a requirement to enjoy the game. Rather, it was more like a very small expansion.

Fuck this gay Earth.
I mean it won't break the game or anything, but soul link was a novel save mechanics that worked extremely well.

Why can't they just learn from their mistakes? Holy fuck.

Yeah, it's pretty much incredible. Like, as soon as you get over a difficult section you immediately save, it's second nature. But, apparently not. Consoles can't die soon enough.

I think I'll buy that, even though I kinda suck at metrovania-esque games. Gotta support such outstanding talent though.

Well, the game came out a bit early, ahem, in some places and I played it a little.
As with the first one it's just as beautiful, the movement is smooth, platforming gets tough fast, the map is gianormous, you can do various sidequests for some NPCs, there are vendors and some sell abilities like triple jump for 2200, spirit light is now currency instead of XP, there are boss fights (only fought the beginning/tutorial one), some abilities from the first game are now in the form of items called shards which once they are in your inventory you can equip a maximum of three of them.
Again I just played like 2 hours.
Also, and I expected this, issues with the autosave system. They're placed around the map and once you touch them/run past them it saves. An issue is that they're placed close to enemies which means that when you die and respawn you do so in the middle of a crowd of them. GG.
There are still Wells like in Ori 1 where you can manually save, but they're rare and not the main way to save your progress.
Overall, Ori 1, but improved and with combat, a simplistic one at that but that's okay since it's clearly not the focus.

Is the combat enjoyable. I found it to be completely superfluous in the first.

It is. It's basic but works well. Responsive, no input lag, you have to jump behind some enemies to attack them from behind as that is where their weak spot it. The are flying enemies which are annoying and returning ones from Ori 1.
Edit: you have a sword with good reach, a bow which you use a lot in various puzzles to activate switches as well as in combat, a spear which I haven't got yet but I saw it in a vendor's shop, some upgrades to those but I haven't got them because I'm saving for the triple jump which is 2200 and also probably equippable (I have as equipped items magnet, which makes orbs float to you and sticky, which allows you to grab hold of walls and climb them without jumping constantly, an ability from Ori 1), you have a healing spell now (hold a button and spend 1 energy to heal 3 HP). All these weapons and the heal, you can assign to left click, E, or R. You can reassign them as you get more stuff.
I don't know what other weapons there are, like I said I only played 2 or so hours. I'm still very early in.

Mac fucking sucks at the game.
I bought it anyways despite prolly enduring the same fate. We'll see when I get it to play later.

Completing a combat shrine gives one more slot to equip shards.
Played for a few hours, it's a huge improvement over the first game. Looks a bit better, sounds way better, combat is finally meaningful, RPG elements meatier and there are even boss fights, p. awesome too. Easy recommendation for everyone and for platformer-fags it's p. much mandatory.

Yes I bought it and played about an hour and from what I can see the new combat and character customization looks really cool.

Yeah, just a heads up, leave the desert area for last, it's story locked. Wish I knew that before going through that hell.

Read about some audio issues. Hold off if you can

I didn't run into any issues. No crashing, no freezing, like literally nothing. Really well polished. I did read some forums about people encountering some bugs, mostly audio related, but like I said, I didn't have any.
i would D1P this if weren't for busy month (Trails of Cold steel 3 and Trails of Zero / Azure )
