Art and presentation?

Ecclesia > Sorrow > Portrait, with Ecclesia only edging out Sorrow because Hirooka's somber, gothic art style is *chefs kiss*, and because I prefer its wider variety of locale.

Map?

Ecclesia > Portrait > Sorrow

Sorrow just felt like it had too much bullshit and backtracking for my taste. Ecclesia and Portrait segmenting their maps into different levels made them a lot more manageable. However, Portrait makes you do that stupid circus level twice so fuck it

Story?

Sorrow > Ecclesia > Portrait

Sorrow only narrowly edges Ecclesia because I like how it advances the dracula myth. Just feels a lot more dramatic in scope. Ecclesia was a well executed character focus for Shanoa/Albus but since the main plot is so basic it feels kinda gaiden-y. Portrait is a fine little family drama.

Gameplay?

Ecclesia > Portrait > Sorrow

Souls are an annoying gimmick and Soma feels kina clunky compared to Jonathan/Charlotte/Shanoa. Portrait improves the movement and replaces souls with a better magic system. Ecclesia's difficulty means you're engaging more with enemy patterns and mechanics so it just feels more fun to play.

Overall?

Ecclessia > Portrait > Sorrow

Really just comes down to Ecclesia being the best, Sorrow annoying me the most, and Portrait falling in the middle by process of elimination.
