Sequels are so commonplace in video games, it's a little surprising when a well-received game DOESN'T get a sequel. Surprising, and often frustrating. Here are 5 games that we really want more of.
 
can you give us a tl;dw? "Top X" videos are too painful to watch, but I wanna be able to complain if they didn't list Prey and Alan Wake.
why isn't literally everyone upset about Prey 2 :(
 
For those who don't want to waste 5 minutes:

5. Einhander
4. Vagrant Story
3. Super Mario RPG
2. Jade Empire
1. Half Life 2 (Episode 2)

wtf where's Prey and Alan Wake
they're only two of my favoritethe best games ever made wtf
 
i can agree with four of them...i never got into Half-life. I would LOVE to see a sequel to Jade Empire or Super Mario RPG though!!
 
I never really thought about it before but yeah, I DO want a vagrant story 2!!!

Or at least would have during the ps2 era. Fuck modern square though. I dont hate them, I just dont trust them to make great games anymore.
 
Super Mario RPG is a dumb suggestion (sorry to my fellow Seven Stars fans). That game got not one but two competent RPG spinoffs in the form of Paper Mario franchise and M&L franchise.
 
I want to see sequel to Kid Icarus Uprising on Switch.

Does Super Mario RPG count? I mean there's Paper Mario and M&L.

Personally, Chrono Cross deserves a sequel.
 
Bruh, God Hand.

They should put it on the list to redeem themselves after their 3/10 God Hand review. With an open letter asking Shinji Mikami for forgiveness.
 
I like the list. Would personally switch einhander with dragons dogma.

I dont know who to trust with a Vagrant Story sequel. Such a weird game to try and modernize.
 
Always wanted a sequel to Advent Rising on OG Xbox, but I think I might've heard somewhere that it was like, scientology propaganda or some shit?
 
I always wanted a sequel to Bladerunner the pc adventure game from the late 90s however I am still waiting.

Also a LA Noire sequel would be cool as well.

I guess since they weren't direct sequels? And saying the 2nd episode of episodic dlc to a sequel itself should disqualify HL2: Ep2.

How about Shadow of the Colossus? Or even Legend ofDragoon?
 
Powerslide (sequel was in development, but Ratbag couldn't find a publisher before they got shanked by Midway)
Bloodborne (why not)
Mirror's Edge (Catalyst is a prequel. And it's horrible)
Alien Isolation (search your feelings...)
...and yes, Half-Life 2 (a full sequel)

You think? I thought it was pretty good, a lot like the first game albeit with a pretty empty open world that wasn't taken advantage of too well.

Or even Chrono Trigger. Chrono Cross was such a loose sequel in my opinion.

Mario RPG counts I think cause it was a collaboration between Square and Nintendo. I want to see Mario jump on Sephiroth's head.
 
- Einhandler... yeah, would be nice to have one
- Vagrant Story YES! But maybe a remake first because PSX doesn't hold well
- There's a lot of RPGs with Mario, so there's a lot of sequels and therefore not need for this to be included
- Jade Empire... the game is kinda nice, but not great. Should have a remake to people to know it and to fix some stuff, like the pacing
- Not a single company can do justice for a Half Life 2 sequel anymore. It's too late
