Castlevania Series Ranked
Ranked list of the Castlevania series. Partially 'objective', partially subjective. Aria of Sorrow is my favorite.

What hasn't been said about it?
1
One of the most replayable games ever made. So much fun to pick up and blitz through every October. Might not offer the same consistent challenge as the NES titles, but it's so undeniably enjoyable from start to finish. The truest sense of what makes a classic.
2
Personal favorite. Not as game-changing as Symphony of the Night, but a solid successor. Lots of unique elements that are seen once more (to weaker effect) in Dawn of Sorrow. Soma Cruz is king.
3
The alternative to Super Castlevania IV, Rondo of Blood is a solid title with lots to offer. Two playable characters acting as a sort of difficulty selection, stellar graphics and music, and true cutscenes for the first time ever. Very good time to be had.
4
Overlooked and great, Bloodlines offers a unique take on the curse of Dracula with two fun protagonists and tons of unique Genesis flare. It also has one of the best OSTs in the series, which is saying something.
5
Don't care; it's Castlevania.

Unreleased, but I imagine I would have loved it.
