54 to a 69 Metacritic isn't anything to sneeze at and points to major strides being made between the two games. Has there been a bigger jump in quality between 2 games of the same series this console generation?

Is the leap from Knack to Knack 2 the most impressive quality jump between same-series games this gen?

I for one thought Knack 2 was a huge improvement and very enjoyable. Not great but provided good entertainment.
Unpopular opinion but I wouldn't mind a 3 see if they could improve even further. Fun game to coop with the kids
I'm not even sure why you feel the need to grasp for these straws, but here we are.
It's an average sequel to an average game. There are decent moments in both but they are few and far between. There's nothing worthy of praise in either game.

I mean, there aren't a lot of series sequel within one console gen this gen to begin with. There were 3 Uncharted games on PS3, only 1 (DLC and remasters don't count) on PS4.
Killzone: 70 on MC
Killzone 2: 91 on MC
Edit: Note, it's part of the same series NOT the same console generation.

not even close. Assassin's Creed Unity to Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
Unity is meh and very very buggy even to this day and the other is a GOTY contender.

Im used to people not reading OPs but not even reading headers now?
Couldve been a good thread. Was quite interested.
He didn't mean downwards, but I agree, it is impressive how badly they screwed up ds2
No I read same series. My bad. I was literally about to edit mine when your notification popped up.
Knack 2 was so solid, honestly. The first is really lacking but I'd be totally down for a third. Don't think it's likely though. :(
Are we allowed to skip games, haha? Syndicate was great too, anyhow!
I think the Jump from Titanfall to Titanfall 2 is more impressive.
Watch Dogs to Watch Dogs 2 is also more impressive.

That's a not a jump in quality. An impressive drop in quality nonetheless.
That was a sideways move - Syndicate did a lot less with building interiors (for example) and as someone who only got to Unity after all the most egregious bugs were patched out I think it's a superior AC game to Syndicate in its environmental immersion.
Syndicate wins on better characters (Evie anyway - Jacob is a tool) & better traversal with the grappling gun, but I never felt as 'in' London as I did Paris.
