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.

If you liked The Witness, you might like these games too:

• Taiji
• Linelith
• The Looker

It definitely does! I misremembered, thought that you can manually select from a list of tapes. Thanks, will edit the parent comment.

I thought about it when compiling my reply, but I can’t recommend it under “calm” requirement. The number of times I yelled at the game for giving me Time Eater when I’m playing a Shiv deck…

I didn’t test most of these personally on a touch screen, but they seem like good candidates to check:

• Pawnbarian
• Osmos
• Hexcells (+ Hexcells Plus + Hexcells Infinite)
• Frog Detective (+ 2 + 3)
• The Witness
• Taiji
• shapez
• Her Story sorry, it needs a keyboard
• Eufloria
• KAMI
• Hook (+ 2)
• The Pedestrian
• Subsurface Circular
• Dorfromantik
• Polychromia
• Hidden Folks
• Cogs
