Anyone have any thoughts on whether I should play this or Ori 2 first?

 

Both are great. Lost Crown is a little more challenging in both combat and platforming, which may point you one way or the other.

I would have thought it would be the other way around, after that tree section in Ori 1.

I honestly don't recall having too much trouble with either Ori game and my impression was they were above casual difficulty, but nothing too strenuous. Lost Crown has numerous challenging platforming segments, although most of the hard ones are for optional stuff. If you want a feel for it to compare, you can probably do a youtube search for the hard platforming sequences.

Nah, I'll just play the game(s) and see for myself.  Ori was odd for being a sudden difficulty spike, and more on the level of an optional thing rather than a progress blocker.

My save file is at 35%, and I’ve been having a blast so far. Although it’s been a while since a game has had me so convinced there’s something wrong with my controller. Surely it can’t be my fault that I messed up the timing on that parry, or that I fumbled that platforming sequence. No, it’s gotta be the faulty controller.

Still making slow but steady progress through this one, really loving it. Just got my fourth celestial to finish that quest, and it feels like I should be approaching the end, but it’s hard to tell.

It really depends on how many of the treasures/upgrades you have done/plan to do.

This game has so much "non-required" stuff, that I spent a ton of hours cleaning that stuff up near the end of the game.
