BN1 is good but lacks a ton of QoL improvements that get added from 2 onward, you kinda have to play BN1 as your first game or it will be really difficult to go back to after the later games.

BN2+3 are the pinnacle of the series in terms of story, gameplay, and overall design. BN3's postgame is also a fantastic challenge that really makes you prove mastery of folder construction and battling.

BN4 is a train wreck and flat out not worth playing. Its story isn't even really tied into the wider narrative and can be ignored. Save yourself the pain and skip it.

BN5 is fine, but gets a lot of flack for being built around the team gimmick. It's a huge improvement over BN4 but not as good as 2 and 3.

BN6 is mechanically on par with 2 and 3 but imo the story suffers from trying to be the big epic series finale.
