I was playing Abe's Exoddus for several years before I started playing Abe's Oddysee, and even now I have much more fun playing it.
I dislike doing runs of Abe's Oddysee because despite it being a shorter game it always seems so much more sluggish that Abe's Exoddus.
Abe's Exoddus has enough visual diversity to keep it interesting - even as a kid I was blown away at the contrast between Necrum Mines and Necrum.
