9. Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Ori may stand out like a sore thumb on this list, rubbing elbows with some of the biggest budget franchises in gaming, but to discount it would be doing a disservice to the efforts made by Moon Studios. It was easily one of the most beautiful games on offer at E3, and its mix of platforming and puzzle solving will keep players hooked.
Keeping the same hand-drawn aesthetic of the original Ori title, we were treated to an absolute smorgasbord of vibrant locations and enemies. It will intrigue you, challenge you, and maybe even bring a tear to your eye. Ori may be one of the newer mascots under Microsoft’s belt, but the track record it has already established makes it a serious contender not to be ignored.
Do yourself a favor: watch the trailer.
