What games would you say fit this description?
Personally, I would go with Dark Souls 2, any Halo game since 3 and Fallout 4.

None, I don't like describing games that way. Good games are good games.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
I know JUST the one, Final Fantasy 7.

Its a good game but betrays the fantasy aspect, it was boring setting and character wise. Same with 8.

Dark Souls 2 is just bad. It's not worth purchasing.

yeah but sometimes a game series is known for a certain story telling style or genre and it kinda betrays what the series stands for

I've never played a game that made me feel that way. I know you're talking about Metal Gear, but even then, it's hard for me to imagine caring that much. Gameplay is so much more important to me than anything else.

yeah but even then, the gameplay could be a department from what the series is known for

I welcome departures with open arms, as long as they end up being good. If they end up being bad, then it's a bad game—case closed. But Zelda II was a huge departure from the first game, yet I still consider it not only a great game, but a great Zelda game. I don't divorce games from their franchises just because they're radically different. I only divorce games from their franchises if they end up sucking complete ass, like Metroid: Other M.

Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is a good game by itself but it's not a good Ace Combat game

Ratchet: Deadlocked is fun game and it's good on it's own as a shooting gallery, but it's a bad Ratchet and Clank game.

I was thinking about adding it to my list, but dogfight mode really leaves a bad feeling with me.

yeah, your last sentence was my "rebuttal". i get where youre coming from but i feel like at least some of the time, a publisher will slap a franchise on the game just to help it sell, even though its not what the series is known for.

rising revengeance is the best example i can provide.

I love you, son.
Fallout 4 is an obvious one because it barely resembles a Fallout game in any aspect except for the fact that there are vaults and power armour.

Halo: Reach, but I give it a pass because it's not a part of the main series.

Infinite Warfare has a really good campaign.
