    It's kind of funny that the latest game is a prequel (oddyssey) to the prequel (Origins) especially it's DLC.

    Red Dead Redemption 2: Not specifically because of its transition into RDR1, but just in general was a great game that expanded on the first one's scope and narrative strength.

    Tales of Berseria: Significantly improves the lore surrounding the background mythology and wordbuilding that Zestiria was trying to convey.

    Yoshi's Island (SNES): The story of baby Mario being escorted through the mushroom kingdom by a Yoshi.

    Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past: Prequel to the Downfall timeline of Zelda 1 and 2. A classic.

    Fire Emblem 7: Prequel to the story and world of Fire Emblem 6.

    Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening is not only still one of the best games in the series(if not the best, I think 5 is pretty neck and neck with it personally) but also saved the franchise from dying after the trashfire that was Devil May Cry 2.

    Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater had my favorite gameplay of the series and had a good story that didn't get to bogged down in the overall lore like some of the later games.

    Halo: Reach was Bungie leaving the Halo series on a high note with one of the best Halo campaigns.

    Life is Strange: Before the Storm did an excellent job of fleshing out the character relationships that were hinted at in the original game.

    Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag (Prequel to AC3)
    Assassin's Creed Origins (Prequel to All the games)
    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Prequel to ACO).

    Ubisoft as a company might have its flaws but they are pretty good at making prequels better than the games set closer to the present.

    One thing I'm kind of curious about is the development of the tie-in novels in relationship to the game series. The Assassins' Creed III novel-which is not a straight adaptation-follows Haytham and sort of implies that his father had a troubled past (apart from the Assassin bit) but kind of doesn't say it outright-and their description of Edward is a bit different (dark hair as opposed to the blond Edward in the game); likewise, the Assassins Creed II and Brotherhood novels have elements from their sequels (The Christina side missions, Altair's saga etc) but kind of differ from how the games turned out a bit. I'm still relatively new to the game series so I'm not sure.

    It's also sort of a prequel of sorts to UNITY as well, or to put it another way, the first part of UNITY from another POV is the game's final mission.


    I'm curious if anything in Valhalla will bridge Origins/Odyssey to the original game.

    Halo Reach is still an awesome game. Even though Chief is only a cameo at best, the other characters in the game more than hold their own.

    Assassins Creed Origins is a strong game as well. Showing the true beginning of the organization that would become the Assassins, and the precursor group to the Templars. And its kind of fun to just go hunting from time to time.
