"Generally speaking, video game sequels fare better than sequels in other mediums. Video games may be art, but they're also technology. As technology improves and offers developers new ways to expand upon their old ideas (or explore new ones), video game sequels often show us how far we've come. It's honestly not uncommon for a video game sequel to be substantially better than its predecessor.
For as celebrated as video game sequels often are, though, it's not uncommon for one to fly under the radar. From very good games that had the misfortune of following beloved classics to great games that improved really bad ones that managed to stain the series' name, there's no shortage of reasons why a video game sequel may go overlooked or underappreciated. The one thing every underrated sequel shares is that they deserve a legacy of their own."
