Definitely Gearbox is a great example with Borderlands. Gearbox is trash and has always been trash and they're trying to live off that one franchise that they tricked people into thinking was good.
The first legacy of kain game was really well received by critics and fans. But ya, after ED Silicon Knights went downhill. Should've stuck with Nintendo.
I don't get why critics hated Parappa 2 so much compared to the first...

It's amazing how well Butcher Bay holds up today. It was using the same gfx techniques as Doom 3/Half-Life 2 and nobody was talking about Butcher Bay. Great game. I liked the sequel too, not nearly as good as the first, but it was more of the same and that was fine on it's release. Glad I got it on Steam before they delisted it. That and Prey are one of the few delisted games I have on Steam that I think is a shame that nobody else can play anymore.
Rovio had many super successful games.
All are wrong. Styx and Condemned aren't wonders / big hits. All the other games/studios you mention are from studios who had many other super successful games, many of them even had other more successful games.
Sleeping Dogs is considered a spiritual successor to True Crime and not an instalment in the series. I'm aware it was originally suppose to be, but technically it's another property.
The studio that made Sleeping Dogs
Yeah, Rockstar is such a failure after Bully
Sorry, my bad
How??
Yes but fromsoft is still going to make games that cater to the soulsbornkiro style. Who knows the next title may be the best one yet.
Remembered for going bankrupt after Haze.
I wad just about to say this myself, Lords of Shadow 1 seems to be the only both critically and commercially successful game from MercurySteam. Samus Returns reviewed well, but did not sell that much. I just checked and they have released one game since Samus Returns, of which I have never heard of.
Enslaved and Hellblade were great and Hellblade sold well enough for a sequel so no
Psychonauts and BG&E are both games from renowned creators that bombed on market. If anything they are opposite of one hit wonders.
Riddick is Starbreeze game
Forgot about that. Well, then I second Alexej Pajitnov.
Anachronox was received well, not sure about sales
Deus Ex was their only game that was both a critical and a commercial success.
Nah, disagreed. UmJammer shits over the 1st Parappa from a great height. It's got more content, more challenging songs, a better variety of songs and IMO better songs plus cooler stages and better button input recognition.
SOMA was amazing, so were the Prenumbra games.
They were abysmal. IIRC by the time the game came out Ion Storm had no money left to spend on marketing.
And Tigon. They show up as developers on the project. On their wiki, it has them as developers of Riddick also.
On the sequels info it suggests a collaboration.

It is certainly ok to have different opinions but holy shit do yours suck.
How many people are from Tigon? Even Riddick wiki page says it was developed only by Starbreeze.The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay credits (Xbox, 2004) - MobyGames

this like... im angry at this games post.
You didn't understand the question.
I didn't understand the rules. I was thinking more along the lines of game with no sequel but had a large following.
