I could probably come up with worse sequels if given more time, but two jump at me immediately.
My mind is telling me Trine 3. The game sets up a whole story, and then just ends 1/3 into that story. It was hugely disappointing when I played it. However, I loved playing the game. Everything up until the (premature) ending was great, so that isn’t my pick.
Instead my pick is Ori and the Will of the Wisps. The game is good, but it is just the first game again, almost beat for beat. At least that is how I remember it. I was so excited to play it, but the whole way through I felt like I had already played the game before. I managed to get to the end of the game, but I had almost given up on the game by then. It was “more Ori”, but that was not what I wanted, I wanted to see how they would evolve Ori. Afterwards, whenever someone would ask if I recommended the game I would say that I 100% recommend playing either game, they are both great, but once you have played one don’t bother with the other.

This is definitely the most unpopular opinion in this thread. Story-wise they’re very similar, yeah. Gameplay-wise, I played them back to back and they are extremely different. The second one has a much bigger focus on combat and combat upgrades, and a lot of new fun platforming mechanics like burrowing in the desert. I think it’s what a sequel should be, improving on the issues of the first while not deviating too much from what made it great.
