Pros:
+ The game puts you in a larger world comparing to the first Ori. The first game was beautiful and this game gives you even better graphics and textures.
+ There are many changes and improvements towards gameplay and strategy. There are new mechanics like shards that act as supports for multiple playstyles.
+ You can freely explore the world where there are multiple hidden items throughout the game like the first game, which I think is pretty fun to do.
+ There are a lot of NPCs in this game. You can interact with most of them. Some will sell you stuff, some will give side quests. It does add a lot to the story of the game.
+ Runs well on my potato laptop, excepts for a few parts where there are a lot to load.

Cons:
At the current state of the game, bugs and glitches are unavoidable
- I have encountered multiple sound bugs, as well as bugs in certain areas of the game that will TRAP you in parts of the map and you have to replay the whole game to get back to that point because of auto save.
- Pressing skip cutscene sometimes skips beyond multiple parts of the story, while your quest, map progress, character abilities stay the same and you can't go back to the last part because some places require certain abilities to pass.
- Whenever I teleport between wells, the teleporting animations often occur twice before actually teleporting you to the destination. It does not affect the gameplay but it is visually unpleasant.
- Sudden black screen with the combinations of many sound effects together.

Some issues:
- The game will be very overwhelming at first as there are a lot of characters and mechanics, especially to those who haven't played the first Ori.
- It is very hard to navigate objectives during quests. You have to look at the map and try to explore everything you can to find what's needed for the objectives before actually going for it. Checking out playthroughs, guides is recommended since it can be confusing.
