Well, if Bonanza is the reference point as to how good or bad Megaways slots are, I understand why some punters don't like them. While Bonanza was a very innovative - and imho even great - online slot, when it came out, these days it's nerfed beyond any recognition; base game is usually poor and even the basic 12 spins practically impossible to land...
On the other hand, Extra Chilli is still my go-to slot number one, best Megaways slot BTG ever released, again imho. There's just one important trick to remember - hands off the gambling feature. Just a friendly piece of advise. Apart from that, I think Extra Chilli is the perfect balance between playability and volatility; unlike Bonanza the free spins are usually pretty easy to get, and the base game is very potent too.
Just to compare, my best win ever on Bonanza is around 550x, while I've had multiple 1000-1600x wins on Extra Chilli. Never hit completely insane, like >5000x, but as mentioned, I loathe the gambling wheel - never used it in fact. So most of my wins are on 8-12 spins, but those Super 8's are quite entertaining, when they occur, hehe...
Other decent Megaways slots imho are Legacy of Ra (Blueprint) and Divine Fortune MW (NetEnt). Primal MW (Blueprint) used to be one of my go-to slots too, but in the long run I just find it too volatile, as the free spins usually scam you quite shamelessly. But in general I think there are just too many crappy Megaways slots out there nowadays.
I do like classic 9-10 liners too - Break da Bank Again, Thunderstruck, Spring Break, DoA and such are all great slots; when you hit, you hit big, which is quite satisfying. Not a big fan of grid slots like Reactoonz, Star Clusters, Jammin' Jars though - they just feel too predetermined, probably because they all are.
One thing pains me btw, here on AskGamblers there isn't even a slot review of Extra Chilli, where I could post some screenshots of the good hits. Instead, here's a couple of them attached.
