Ori and the Will of the Wisps Parents Guide: Age Rating, Safety & Tips
Recommended age: 8+
Recommended play time: 30 minutes - 1.5 hours
Oh my, you see me trying to understand computer games? But for my kids, I learn everything! 'Ori' is a charming and sweet adventure game, even Papa Chaim didn't get too annoyed by it. My middle child, 13, really loved it, and even my 10-year-old daughter enjoys watching it.

You play a character named Ori, a cute little creature with a glowing light, who runs, jumps, and fights to save their world. There's an emotional story, lots of puzzles, and graphics that just make you want to draw. My oldest, 15, didn't really connect with it, he's more into war games, but the two younger ones really enjoyed it.
