I'm trying, the pc curse has targeted me again.

My Laptop's GT740m isn't working right anymore. Even in 960x540, with everything turned off in the NVidia control panel, still severe slowdown, not just fps, game logic as well with scratchy sound. It's not Ori specific, Spintires that used to run at 60fps, now runs at 10 to 30. Perhaps a bad driver or windows update. Switching to integrated graphics works better, in 720p Ori gets 20-30 fps, pretty blurry on a 1080p latop but at least the sound is intact. The cpu usage is less than 4%, why can't it use more of that!

I tried to install the Geforce Experience, runtime error, error running setup.exe, it wiped itself... Tried to install a newer version, failed. Shield streaming failed, but I don't want shield streaming anyway, it doesn't install. Second attempt, custom install, no option to skip shield streaming, tried clean install, eureka after a full system restart. Refreshing games list took forever, Ori is not in the list. I switched back to my gpu in the other NVidia control panel, new driver, OriDE.exe is no longer in the list, ugh. Tried it again with all fancy stuff turned off (like AA etc), set to maximum performence. Seems to run even worse after all that, the sound is scratchy in the menu already. Is there a way to revert to a 2 year old driver that works... Oh well 720p20 integrated graphics it is.

When do you get to save in Ori anyway, I'm quite tired of the opening sequence by now. I ran out of playtime anyway. Talk about bad first impressions! Consoles are so much less hassle! (and don't grind to a halt after a few years)

About thirty minutes in, I think. After that, you get to choose exactly where you save except you only get a limited number of saves per "checkpoint". You can continue as much as you want, of course. 

You'll reach a challenging part and save right before the part that kills you. Beat that part and come across some other challenge. The trick is not saving too often otherwise you set yourself up for an impossible challenge unless you're perfect. It's frustrating and addictive. 

At one point, I was sitting on my living room table  in the middle of the night, playing a few inches from the TV because I was so into an intense section.

This sort of hyperbole just brings in disagreement and unnecessary arguing. Everyone who's played Ori and the Blind Forest knows what an amazing and beautiful game that was, and Will of the Wisps looks just the same. Let's be happy and hyped about it without having to go full fanboy.

Pretty much this. I've attacked things I've loved because somebody else loved it a little too much and I took it as a challenge!
