19 Ori and the Will of the Wisps

Metroidvanias have been all the rage in recent years, and this is one of the most beautiful: a game that tugs on the heartstrings just as much as it tests your gaming mettle. Ori and the Will of the Wisps does what every great sequel should do, enhancing and expanding on its systems, including new combat – and it’s one of the best examples of next-gen, rendering on the Series X console at an eye-watering 6K.
