Dracula 4 and
5 (2013) are like parts 1 and 2 of the same game and should definitely be played together.
They are shorter and easier than any of the previous games.
They were developed by Koalalabs and published as downloads by Microids.
Dracula 2 (2001) was more difficult than
Dracula 1 (2000) because of more danger of getting killed and having to go back to a save. Too much drowning in sewage to suit me. I also got eaten by a giant bat because I was so busy laughing at how silly it looked.
Dracula 3 (2008) from Kheops Studios is different from any of the other Dracula games -- not like the first two, and not like the last two either. It seemed a lot longer -- longer than
Dracula 2 and possibly longer than
Dracula 1,2,4,5 put together. Kheops put a lot of effort into it.
Dracula 3 had by far the ugliest Dracula of any Dracula game I've played, and the story was the most depressing. I wouldn't say it was a bad game, but it really wore me out on Dracula. It was long and hard and I kept getting lost and stuck, even with a walkthrough.
Dracula 1 was my favorite of the
Dracula 1-5 series.
The best environments in
Dracula 2 were also in
Dracula 1.
No drowning in sewage in
Dracula 1.
I really don't like autosaves, and
Dracula 4 and
5 had autosaves.
In
Dracula 1 and
2 you play as Jonathan Harker.
In
Dracula 3 you play as the priest Father Arno Moriani.
In
Dracula 4 and
5 you play as Ellen Cross, art restorer.

My favorite two Dracula games are the ones from Frogwares:
Frogwares published
Dracula Origin (2008), a puzzle-oriented game where you play as Van Helsing. At first I didn't want to play it because I thought "Oh no, not another Dracula game" after playing
Dracula 3. But MaG said
Dracula Origin was a nice puzzle/adventure game and I should play it. So I did and it was. I enjoyed playing
Dracula Origin a lot more than
Dracula 3, which was also released in 2008.
And about 3 years later Frogwares published
Dracula: Love Kills (2011), one of the best casual HOPA games (in my opinion) with better, more interesting puzzles than most HOPAs. In
Dracula: Love Kills you play as Dracula, teaming up with Van Helsing to defeat the Vampire Queen. Igor is hilarious. The game as a whole was easier than
Dracula Origin, Origin being an adventure game.
There are other, older Dracula games from other, unrelated developers.
There was
Dracula Unleashed (1993), a DOS game that had a re-release on DVD player, where you use the remote to "play" the game. Even the DOS version seemed limited in what you could do to interact with the game.
There were also the comic games
Drascula (1997) and
Dracula's Secret (1996).
Drascula is now free, and downloadable from the ScummVM website.

Drascula here:

Draclvr probably knows of more Dracula games than these.
