Hard to tell, but in general, I think fans are forgiving (and even welcoming) if the sequel is good enough, but if it fails to achieve this subjective level, the fans will be merciless; even if the game is decent. (I think the problem has to do with niche genres with an obstinate fanbase rather than the games themselves)

Personally, I don't mind developers trying something new with known stuff, but I rather have them do it with spinoffs instead of the "main series". On the other hand, as you said, evolution is expected. But it's frequently made with the wrong mentality and we end with something that no one likes.

There is also the weird opposite case, as in Sonic 4... What were they thinking with that!?

(And yeah, a massive marketing failure, now I understand that point)
