Story: 1 > 3 > 4 > 2
1 has the best since it set up and finished itself all nice and neatly. 3 elaborates on the backstory for the series really well and also has an interesting short-term plot. 4 has dat ending. 2 is bad but a necessary piece for the series to work.
Gameplay: 3 > 4 > 2 > 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PW
3 just has so much replayability... so many fun things to find out. 4 is just super fun and fluid to play, but feels like there's less secrets to find. 1 is great, but 2 really catapulted the series ahead with its super slick controls... guard AI was still too simple though. PW is just lol. Extremely dumb AI, boring environments, "boss" battles.
