10 Sequels Which Took The Franchise To A Whole New Level

Over the last decade or 2 decades, the games never stopped improving in all possible way even if it's storytelling, graphics, combat or open worlds.
Which result in lots of awesome games and lots of sequels of those games and sometimes games which are not too great before knocked it out of the park with awesome sequels which we admired even more and as it looks like that ain't stopping so here are 10 Game Sequels which took the franchise to a whole new levels.

1.Grand Theft Auto V





well, this one is one of the very obvious ones as Grand Theft Auto V broken all the records set by previous games already it obviously took the franchise to a new level for GTA games and other open world games too.
The game is so good and successful that people are still going mad over it by making videos in director mode and doing all kinds of crazy stuff don't believe me ?? join a GTAV group on facebook and you'll know.
This is one of those awesome game which literally changes our point of view on the GTA series and raised expectations even higher when Grand Theft Auto 6 comes out ( chill 2022 is still far away ) so till then enjoy you Grand Theft Auto V online premium pack or go on a drive around Los Santos its a really amazing place to be.

2.The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim


This one is mentioned too many times what to do the game is like 8 years old now and people are still having fun in the world of Skyrim killing dragons and why wouldn't they the game is still pretty awesome with all those side quests and open world stuff.
Like the previous elder scroll games game has a story an open world but what really differentiates it from other games it the special abilities and magic stuff and all the side factions you can join or maybe the setting well it's not one thing which made Skyrim the rockstar of the elder scrolls series it a perfect mixture of all of them which made it one of most selling elder scroll game. ( For the record I also play it and it's a hell of a game try it! if you haven't already ).

3.Assassin's Creed Origins





This is a really recent game and one on which Ubisoft worked over for almost five years to polish it and make it awesome and incredible as it turns out it's the story of the origin of the assassin's creed which starts in Egypt 49 BCE they really knocked it out of the park in matter of location this time not because it's Egypt and there are mummies or something but they created the best and the biggest open world in the history of assassins creed.
The massively open world is filled with everything we thought of having in Egypt in that time and they really did a great job with graphics this time which is quite impressive as the game has beautiful environments and great views if you use Senu and fly everywhere like I did ( It was Cool ).
Assassin's Creed origins really knocked it out of the park and also it has a good amount of DLC's to keep you in front of your screens  ( I Still Miss Ezio love that guy ).

Assassin's Creed Origins Best Creed Game Yet??

4.Devil May Cry (DMC)





I know I may get hate for this one because not many people are so happy with the reboot of the franchise with DMC but it really impacted the game in many ways and took it a new level of compacting controls and powers and they still have many elements of the previous games (Sword, Pizza, Ebony, and Ivory, only 20 missions) so they dumped it they just modified it in every way they saw fit ( I loved that Dante too his style and everything ).
So After 4 games in the series, the rebooted the series and changed the Dante the story and backstory too because I don't know maybe they run out of ideas or Ninja Theory demanded it and they made changes set the bar high for whole franchise and made us expect that upcoming DMC games will have controls and whatever formula they threw out of the window ( Maybe Nero too? they also threw him out of franchise too ) whatever you may expect or you like it or not they really set the bar high for upcoming DMC games.

5.Tomb Raider ( 2013 ) And Rise of the Tomb Raider





This franchise is as old as time I mean Lara Croft is hanging around for a while now you know and they are releasing Shadow of the tomb raider this year so we really don't know what to expect from the new game if the shadow of tomb raider going to be better than previous games it will make its place on 10 games which took the franchise to a whole new level part 2.
So why two games instead of one because both are amazing and they rebooted the series with 2013 version but knocked it out of the park with Rise of the Tomb Raider ( Comparisons are hard between good games what can I do ? phew.. ).
So in 2013 version, they introduced bows and different types of arrows which made combat part of the game really sick but it failed to provide explorer and story that much what we normally expect from such game.
Then they realized and fixed everything the rise of the tomb raider had better graphics more tombs to explore and you can now craft new stuff on spot and take quests from people the story was really long and awesome which really made the game worthwhile so let's see what they have in bag for Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

6. Castlevania: Lord of Shadows 2





I know this one is really one of those not much in headline type of game but this is a really Old ( I mean really old ) franchise but as it revolves around Dracula and he's Immortal so it's okay he won't getting aged or something.
Anyways after they did do the prequel in 2010 which was pretty cool and got length and story and everything but they didn't felt satisfied with it and thought this game can be a hell lot better and they did it they made the sequel which has everything and almost forgot about it ever since until recently they launched Ultimate edition for the reminder.
With the story and everything they have done a lot better than previous 41 titles ( Told you its old and when you have that much time and a really good game you really don't sit idle) so they finally delivered what was expected (Expect from that drinking blood of innocent people part that was really unnecessary ).

7.Resident Evil 7 BioHazard





Another old yet everyone's favorite game franchise ( We both know how much you love Resident Evil 4 ) in which you have fun while killing zombies or some kind of infected people which is really off topic with which they made the movies on.
So after all this time last year, the franchise finally returns to give us horror chills as you become Ethan looking for his wife and where the infection took and very weird road to put you out of your misery by becoming black veiny alien monsters ( seriously these guys have some weird zombie ideas ) as in case graphics, story and combat they really knocked it out of the park in this one and also giving full respect to previous ones by including item management feature in it and the game is still awesome scary.

8.Uncharted 4 A thief's End





The Uncharted series really have a habit of setting out of the park bar's since it arrived and they really made all other games feel shameful in a matter of storytelling, combat and Indiana Jones movie plots ( seriously they have great plots for it ).
After 3 games which brings Naughty Dogs lots of fortune, they thought why not knock it out the park so good so it becomes awesome for the last time before we run out of ideas for Nathan Drake because he was really getting old so they made the last game and really knocked it out of park and made every other action adventure games feel like they are for kids.
The Story and the story twists are awesome and they really did a good job mixing marriage issues with treasure hunting and to tell everyone best way to sort out problems better than talking while climbing strange places and hanging off the cliffs and that's how Naughty Dogs set the bar for the franchise with Nathan one last time ( because they still released Uncharted: A Lost Legacy and will be releasing Last Of Us 2 Soon)

9.Far Cry 5





This is another series which like to set the bars for everyone in FPS with the open world because most games like to recycle most of it formula and make lots of money with it in which you shoot the guys in the face without thinking as they also spent the same amount of time thinking about it which shatters as you turn on Far Cry which makes people cry from far as they keep knocking out of the park each time they release it.
The Far Cry 5 is most polished and the latest game in the franchise and it's pretty awesome by the 2018 standards they really do know how to make FPS games with open worlds as this time they make you the deputy of the Montana where a cult rules and you take on the father with help of the civilians which are also kind of fed up and will kill anyone as there are not only people to kill but also animals where you kill animals and collect resources.. so basically normal human behaviour and they really did a good job with graphics and story and first person action adventure.

10.God of War (2018)





I don't think I need to say much on this one we all seen it with our mouths wide open as God Of War released just a few days ago and rocked each and everyone with its awesome reboot it's one of best games ever made which is equally beautiful and also awesome in all ways.
Previous God Of War Games are revolved around killing and revenge but this time they really turned the tables by putting in other emotions as well as they knocked it out of the park with new father and son type Last of Us-ish story plot in which the God of war learns other emotions than anger and take on a role of father and also as a teacher so he can teach his son surviving and career choices like every other parent.
They knocked it out of the park with everything that's why game has so brilliant ratings they have an Awesome story, Awesome background Scores and Dragon Ball-ish combat fights and even awesome Boss fights this is the game which set a bar really high not for God Of War Franchise but for Every game coming out in 2018.
