Ori and the Will of the Wisps has recently been patched fixing a good number of things and adding HDR implementation on PC. Better yet, they have also added a certain number of settings to tweak the way HDR looks on your TV, making it possible to really get the desired result.
New features
• HDR Support for PC (Windows 10 and a HDR compatible display required)
• Improved HDR visuals on Xbox consoles (with new powerful HDR settings!)
• Dynamic Resolution Scaling (enables the game to automatically lower its rendering resolution to achieve higher framerate when necessary)
• FPS Limit (for those that prefer locked frame-rate experience with less frame-rate fluctuation at high refresh-rate)
• Audio Output Device Selection (to specify the device used for sound output)
• Speaker Type Selection (better configure audio panning and other features for headphones or speakers)
• Sound API Selection (multiple sound api’s available to help with potential sound hardware compatibility problems)
• Turning Microsoft Spatial Audio On/Off (allows more control over the spatial audio for more immersive experience and audio troubleshooting for those having no audio output)
•Added Steam Trading Cards, Badges, Backgrounds and Emojis
Gameplay improvements
• Fine-tuned the Windtorn Ruins Escape Difficulty on Normal and Hard Mode
• Fixed the ‘missing Kwolok’ issue

Improvements and fixes to enemy behavior
• Improvements and fixes to the completion counter: Area completion is affected only by the collectibles and optional challenges present in the area and global completion is affected by area completion, completing all quests, owning every Spirit Shard, and learning all skills from Opher. No longer does simply uncovering parts of the map while exploring impact the completion % of the area, in the interest of not being stuck hunting down the last few nooks and crannies left that have no real significance to the experience
