I don't necessarily mean the series has gotten better or worse, just your personal opinion for whatever reason.

Best: Mario. First video game I ever owned was Mario bros/duck hunt on the NES and I've loved every one of them since well into adulthood.

Worst: Legend of Zelda. I know it's an unpopular opinion but I really wasn't a huge fan of BotW. Im not saying it's bad I just didn't love it as much as most other people seemed to. Honestly I feel like the golden age for the series was on the N64 and the last one I really loved was wind waker.

best - Legend of Zelda.

they're willing to try new things with the genre, so when a new installment comes out, it never feels dated, and has at least a few good ideas, IMO.

worst - Metal Gear Solid.

even if the gameplay improved with each new installment, the story became exponentially more ridiculous (with the exception of MGS3), to the point where it started feeling like an exaggeration/parody of itself.

Ooh, yeah. MGS is a good one. I was a giant fan back in the MGS 2 and 3 days(obviously). 4 kind of jumped the shark for me, and I only played a couple of hours of 5 and never picked it up again.

Best: Mario: I wasn't all that into the Mario platformers as a kid, but now I recognize their brilliance.

Worst: Sonic. I don't feel like I have to explain myself

I liked MGS2, but it was in spite of its narrative.

like, it had great themes, I liked how Raiden didn't feel like a typical action hero, and how futuristic the whole game felt, but IMO, the way the story was told was needlessly complicated and messy.

MGS and MGS3 were a lot more simple in comparison.

tbh, I haven't played more than 15-20 minutes of KH.

I don't disagree with that, and think 4 really doubled down on a lot of those bad qualities. But MGS2 was still amazing despite being somewhat convoluted imo.
