Video game prequels are of course not a new thing; Castlevania III for example is an early one; as are several of the Zelda games. Lately though there's been quite a few: AC Origins and Odyssey, Red Dead Redemption II, Fallout 76, and most Metal Gear Solid stuff from the past decade have all been prequels. Like with prequel films, occasionally there's some stuff that doesn't always line up perfectly with the originals-Metal Gear is an example of this; not only does the tech evolution seem kind of weird, but there are various retcons of pretty much every aspect of the storyline. However, I found RDR2 lines up very well with the original (although it doesn't deal with Marston's daughter; presumably she died in the time gap?)


Any favorites?
