Another World on the Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive if you're across the pond) is that rare sequel that actually feels necessary—no cheap cash grab here. The villain who slipped away at the end of the first game is back, and this time they're dead serious about wrecking CRON for good.

Right from the start, you can tell they upped the stakes. The opening cutscene hits you with this looming dread, like yeah, we're definitely not messing around anymore. Combat feels tighter too—your party moves smoother, and the magic system's got just enough tweaks to make old strategies feel fresh without relearning everything. That first boss fight? Way more cinematic than the first game, all flashing spells and crumbling terrain.

If you liked the original, this one's a no-brainer. They kept what worked and actually listened to feedback about the clunky bits.
