I think the best way to sum it up would be that opening shot of Rupturefarms, in AO, it was bleak, very dark, all we had was that lit up sign, but the factory itself was just one colour and very dull, where as in NnT we see lots of colours, I think the scale of the factory looks much bigger which is good as "They say it's the biggest meat processing plant on Oddworld" but I think there are fat too many colours in the shots we see of the factory.
AO did paint Rupturefarms to be a hellhole to work in, just really made it all the more horrific when we find out the Mudokons are set to be the next product. It hammers in that you are playing the guy at the bottom of the chain, and seeing random blood splatters on walls and things only emphasized this. It made you want to help Abe, because of the dark reality he lived in, and only made you feel that bigger sense of achievement when you beat it all.
Whilst Exoddus was more "Colourful". There was still a horrific reality being showed, cmon, Mudokons having their eyelids stitched closed, and being electrocuted to extract tears! All for the Glukkons owns greed.
