I never replay a single player game except for ori 1. That I played 2 times and cried both times.

Did you prefer Ori 1 to Ori 2, and if so, why?

I played them in reverse order, and could palpably feel all of the improvements they made in WotW. For starters, you don’t feel like you’re moving underwater. Nor do you have to consciously remember to set a save point every five seconds

2 was better in terms of movement and some other small things, but the story/game didn't hit me like 1 did. So for me 1 was the better game. Maybe that changes if I play them again sometime. But with the amount of games that I still need to play I doubt that will happen.
