So, I remember playing Grim Fandango a while back and I realized, that while it has a remaster, it never got a sequel and to be honest, it never needed. The entire story of Manny Calevera has been told from start to end, and I have experienced everything that was to experience from this world.
Then there are cases like D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die or The Order 1886 that were clearly setting up for a sequel but never got it, and so what we got was just half the story.

So what I want suggestions for are games that were always supposed to be one-off, and they pulled it off successfully in telling a complete coherent story/journey from start to end.
Some usual suspects I would get out of the way that I have already know of or have played:
* Grim Fandango
* L.A. Noire
* Stubbs The Zombie
* Lost Odyssey
* Bully
* Heavy Rain
* Indigo Prophecy
* Shadow Of The Colossus
* Ico
* Braid
* Fez
 
Most of Vanillaware games: Unicorn Overlord, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Odin Sphere
 
*Slowly realises all of my favourite games are part of a franchise in some form or fashion.

Otherwise, I can only think of a few other games I like:
-God Hand
-Full Throttle

•R:Racing Revolution on PS2/Gamecube (i know it's from Ridge Racer series,but it has nothing to do with them)
•The Punisher (Arcade and PS2)
 
  • Killer Is Dead
  • Shadows of the Damned
  • God Hand
  • Code of Princess
  • Evil West
  • Prodeus
  • Ninja Saviors
  • Bot Vice

Isn't Ikaruga considered a sequel to Radiant Silvergun?
After all, it's also known as Project RS2!
it's more a spiritual succesor/sequel

just like Sin and Punishment is considered a spiritual succesor to Alien Soldier that even had Glass Soldier as codename
