Destiny 2, Forza Horizon 2, Dirt 2, SSX Tricky, and so many others are also amazing but to be fair I can name just as many sequels that were so bad I almost blinded myself so I didn’t have to see the atrocities laid before me
Honestly Aladdin and the king of thieves is better than return of Jafar, and it brought back Robin Williams as genie. So take note valve that trilogies can be nice.
I don’t think it’s exactly controversial to think a lot of gaming sequels are better than the originals?
It’s a different dynamic to movies, in games things are built upon and improved as series go on, rather than in movies where they often miss the mark trying to rehash the original.
Mass Effect 2 being my best example and favourite game of all time.
I’m sure there are plenty more, these were just some of the ones I really enjoyed growing up that I could think of off the top of my head 🙂
Edit: had a few good recommendations that I agree with which were originally omitted:
Modern Warfare 2
Fable 2
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Edit 2: I have been corrected in the comments that Sands of Time was actually the 4th “Prince of Persia” game to come out, I did not realize the original had sequels of its own!
Halo 2 aswell for me
Borderlands 2.
Also as someone who started with Dark Souls 2, while I don’t think I’d want to return to it I had a fantastic time.

Portal 2 is way better than portal 1. Of course one thing that makes it great is that it isn’t just a reskinned Half-Life 2…..also Wheatley.
I love portal 1, but 2 is better
WArcraft 2, Diablo 2, street fighter 2, red alert 2,

No Diablo 2? That’s gotta be top 5 sequels of all time.

Divinity Original Sin 2 is not just better it is one of the best games out there.

Streetfighters 2 kids
