Not sure which collection you're playing but there's basically two types of Castlevania games. There's the ones modeled after the first game, the Richter style games. A linear platformer, many have frustrating controls. I generally hate these ones. Then there's the ones that spawned from Symphony of the Night that gave the Vania in the Metroidvania genre games. These rock and most of them are generally pretty good.

Super Castlevania 4 is the best of those early ones. Rondo is pretty good also but very hard. People find charms in the first 3 but they're a bit rough.

If you prefer the Symphony lineage, the gameboy collections are very good. Not every game is brilliant but it's amazing value.
