This is a hard question, because every long-living series has its best title since ages: Zelda, Tetris, Dragon Quest, Mario Tennis, Luigi's Mansion, Mario Party, Animal Crossing, Smash Bros., Metroid. All of these games surprised me in an unexpected way.

Then we have some very good remasters, which we haven't seen during Wii and Wii U era: Mario Kart 8 (60fps in 2 player mode), Link's Awakening, Pokémon Let's Go, Skyward Sword, Final Fantasy, Katamari Damacy.

But the games which were waaaaaay better than I initially thought were Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity, Mario Tennis Aces, SnowRunner, Dragon Quest XI and Octopath Traveler.

On the other hand - the most disappointing game for me is Bravely Default II. I really had to force myself to finish this game.
