IW is good, play it now while you still remember the first game's story since it functions as an epilogue to that. The same people worked on it, the negativity towards it mostly comes from it being a console-first game, but at its core it's the same game. The prequels were made by same random studio which did better than anyone expected back then, they play good but are toothless compared to the first two games, especially the second one is very dull, couldn't finish it.
