I mean there are some that are just not as good or a bit more mixed such as 007: The World is Not Enough, Castlevania II, Final Fantasy II, Horizon Forbidden West, Killer Instinct II, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metroid Prime 2: Echos, Super Mario Bros 2, Super Mario Galaxy 2, etc.
And there are some absolute duds such as Blood II, Devil May Cry 2, Dragon Age 2, F.E.A.R. 2, Perfect Dark Zero, etc.
But generally speaking in my experience the vast majority of sequels tend to be objectively better games, so I've never understood this mentality of sequels being seen as inferior.
Btw if I missed any or you want to further add to the list, then please feel free to chime in.
I was gonna say something like "the game came out 3.5 months ago" but saw someone mention it took TWO YEARS for firefight to come to Infinite so bravo I guess
@SR_autor It's just a really shitty situation, the studio that was developing the game collapsed because a bunch of the employees there threw the studio head under the bus and began making wild accusations towards him while denying anything bad on their part.

The Zelda franchise was on a steady decline leading up to Wind Waker, and those manchildren went on to buy 8.5 million copies.
The gritty, dark formula worked and gave us one of the best designs for Link and its female characters.
The audience craving more mature yet fun games will always exist, whether you like it or not.
