Guacamelee 2, Steamworld Dig 2, Ori & the Will of the Wisps spring to mind (although that's just 'generally considered' for the last two; I prefer the first game in both instances). Overcooked 2 maybe? There are too many close but no cigar/disappointing efforts to bother listing. It's very much a thing.
I could see some people preferring Blasphemous 2 for sure. It's nipper and the three weapon system adds variety to the combat so it's a better attempt at bettering the original that you tend to see. Ngl I was hoping for something extra awesome though, it's very much a case of 'let's make the first game again'. It's much smaller than the finished version of B1 too.
