I suppose if you can look past how ugly the polygon graphics look and get used to the weird movement, it is definitely recommended. It is a very scary horror game and it is an obvious inspiration for the Resident Evil series. (In fact, I would say in the case of the dog you drew the inspiration goes a bit further and is more of a blatant ripoff. Play the first few minutes of the first game to see why I immediately thought of AitD)

My impressions per game:
The first game is pretty good. What it lacks in beauty it more than makes up for in atmosphere. Playing it at 3 am was definitely as scary as you could want from a Lovecraftian horror game.
The second game is pretty good too, but a bit more difficult. Almost as good as the first, but the zombies with tommy guns take some of the atmosphere, also it changes the combat somewhat because aiming is very annoying. You'll be savescumming every gunfight, that's the only way to win. Still very much enjoyable.
The third game I didn't like too much, but I still think I should replay it now that I am a more skilled english reader. It had more puzzles that I thought were illogical. I don't know, maybe I wasn't capable to read things that would clue me to the solution or I was in a bad week? I will keep from giving an opinion if it is good or bad in the end. But graphically it's definitely prettier.
And I have yet to play AitD4 + The new nightmare

I can even draw decently, but I don't know many games. So unless the player drawing chooses a game I had experience with I have no chance of figuring it out. Like the current pick by Lone_Scout, probably.
That is why I don't participate much here despite liking this game.
