I liked the original Ori the most. I've played it so much that I've gotten all achievements, including the no-death and under 3 h ones.
The definitive edition added the much needed teleports between wells, so that was a great upgrade.
The sequel lost some of its charm imo. I didn't like that Ori is now slashing with a sword; I preferred the original's approach of Sein being the damage dealer.
The final battle in 2nd game was a huge difficulty leap imo. Falling down was really not fun.
Coming into this thread, I thought I'd be the only one saying this. Most online reviews seem to prefer the sequel but I much prefer the first game. Something about the sequel's controls just never sat well for me. I love everything about the first game though and had played it through twice right before I tried the sequel.
Maybe I should try again now that it's been a while since then.
Hmmm, I get why you think the second one lacks charm but as someone who's first metroidvania was hollowknight I love the second one much more than I like the first
Interesting. I ended up enjoying the sequel a lot more than the original. I'm a metroidvania junky and I found the second one to scratch that itch a lot better than the first. Both are great though. The art is outstanding and was worth tinkering with my monitors HDR settings to get just right
Linux will have HDR support soon inshallah
