Kinda want to get into this series after watching the Netflix show, but there are a ton of titles. Looks like I can play most of PSN. Found a list online for a most recommended, which Ill post here

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.denofgeek.com/games/10-best-castlevania-games-ever-made/%3famp

Would you guys agree? Seems like there are a lot of side story based titles. Which stand out titles should I do? What order? Thought I read the series was even rebooted at one point. I dont have PS Now, but I see they have most of the relevant ones I can download

Symphony of the Night is the best one, but the first one is good and I've heard the SNES one is dope

its true that there aren't many amazing castlevanias, but sotn is easily one of the best games of all time

the list isn't too bad. besides sotn, the order is all wrong, and there are a few i wouldn't include. props to I, III, IV, and Curse of Darkness, they're all great. a few of the handhelds were also good.

Primarily the exploration, the music, and the artstyle. The gameplay is solid, not amazing, but the sheer quality of the design elevates it.

Pre-SOTN they were action-adventure games, post-SOTN they are Metrovanias.
SOTN was the first one in the Metrovania genre and it did everything perfect.

RPG elements, expansive Metroid-esque castle.

Between Castlevania Anniversary Collection and Castlevania Requiem, youll have a majority of the must-play games, IMO. After that, you gotta start getting into the GBA & DS games, which dont come in any cheap collections, as far as I know.

Castlevania Anniversary Collection
Castlevania (NES)
Castlevania II: Simons Quest (NES)
Castlevania III: Draculas Curse (NES)
Super Castlevania IV (SNES)
Castlevania Adventure (GB)
Castlevania II: Belmonts Adventure (GB)
Castlevania: Bloodlines (Genesis)
Kid Dracula (Famicom)

Castlevania Requiem
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1)
Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (PC Engine)

As was previously mentioned, Id say 1, 3 & 4. And if you get the collection, you get access to several other games to try out.

Id also say there are elements to 2 that are fun. But you simply will not beat the game without a guide. There are How the hell was I supposed to figure that out moments in the game.

That's the one where you have to duck down for like ten seconds in a random spot to progress, right?
