Video games and sequels have a strange relationship. With nearly every other medium such as movies and books, the sequel has a less than 50% chance of being even as good as the original. But with video games, it seems the percentage is much higher. I think it’s because developers tend to listen to fans about what they did and didn’t like, while adding new features that are tested with lots of people to make sure it all “feels” right.
So this is a list of games that really hit the sweet spot and bested the game before it in nearly every way. So without further ado, I present the Top 10 Best Game Sequels list
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
The Congressional Labor Caucus sent a letter to the FTC warning the debt-financed, largely PIF-owned deal could be bad news for workers
lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6
Wait,
The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.
NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.
EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
Well constructed list, can't argue with it. In my opinion Jack 2 should also be on that list.
thanks! and about jak 2, i know lol. so many great sequels so little list room
It's a fine balance when making a sequel, you wanna innovate so the game doesn't stagnate for people yet at the same time you don't want to alienate the people that bought the first game. In my opinion Resistance 2 tried to be too like COD and made it a good game still but no way near as great as the first. I liked having a shooter where i didn't have to look down the bloomin' sights but then they made you do so in the sequel :(
