Depending on the game/genre, I feel some are better while some takes away too much of what the predecessor had to offer. Take Skyrim for example. In my opinion better immersion than Morrowind and dungeons that actually feels like dungeon. At the same time I didn't like how we had less customization (not counting mods of course) compared to what Morrowind had to offer.

I enjoyed making my own magic spells, flying around, etc. I found it funny that I can rip merchants off with high mercantile skills or provoke guards to attack me by insulting them. I know mods fixes this but to compare apples to apples, I'm looking only at the base games.

Having not played Saints Row 2, I read 3 and 4 are too wacky compared to its predecessor. At the same time that was what I loved about Saints Row 3 and 4. I treat GTA as the more "serious" open world crime game whereas Saints Row 3 and 4 were fun to me due to the wacky aspects.

Between Deus Ex, DX:IW, DX: Human Revolution and DX: Mankind Divided, some aspects I thought the first did a better job at while some aspects I thought the successors did a better job at. I find myself replaying both DX and DX:MD depending on which aspect I want to enjoy again.

I could probably go on but this will just turn into a wall of text. As a whole I don't feel games as a whole are getting better or worse. Various aspects of games I feel are both improving and degrading.
