You could argue that video game sequels can either make or break a franchise.
And it’s the latter that we’re honing in on for this list.
It’s these five sequels that we honestly think are better than the seasoned siblings.
Or, at least the first two games are, anyway.
And that’s when Tony Hawk’s Underground rolled in, thankfully.
And, true to their ambition that’s exactly what they did.
Like the whole game being restricted to one location, for example.
However, when Arkham City came along everything was tweaked to perfection.
The city unravelled and allowed players to immerse like never before.
Luckily for us, Capcom practically reinvented the wheel when spinning Resident Evil 4 onto the board.
The gridlocked cameras were out the over-the-shoulder view was in.
Borderlands 2
Gearboxknuckled in on a truly mesmerizing concept when drawing up the initial Borderlands script.
Borderlands is and always will be a staple in the action genre, plain and simple.
New characters, smoother gameplay, bigger worlds and everything laced between.
And it all started with that 2007 debut.
Thankfully, when it came to drawing up Assassin’s Creed 2 that’s exactly what they did.
Tired of sequels?
Looking for something else?
