Original was a 7/10
Spinoff was pushing 9/10 on aggregate

Any other video games series like this?

If we're talking genre shifts then Touhou. 1st game is a weird Breakout clone. 2nd game is the arcade shmup that the rest of the 17 games are.

Literally says spin-off on Wikipedia, which the devs have seen and could have changed by now

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is a platform video game developed by Playtonic Games and published by Team17. As a spin-off of Yooka-Laylee (2017), the game was released digitally for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One in October 2019, with physical versions releasing only for the latter three on a later date.[2][3]

Guess CE is nit-picking words by TC's logic

Imagine insulting other adults over rated E games based on 90s shit. Like 4th grade forever

Why would you interpret all of that as an insult?

None of these are necessarily "better" but similarly ranked spinoffs, specifically if you're looking for genre-swaps. People liked Metal Gear Solid Revengeance a lot. Pokemon Conquest is another one that didn't receive critical acclaim but is highly regarded by those who played it.

There's a couple of others but I'm too braindead to think of them right now.

Edit: Honorable mention to Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland. Never got released in America but absolutely worth playing.

Your post was fine
It's just when most of the first 10 posts are combined into questioning my diction
Sorry maybe it wasn't insulting, only nit-picking
