Playing an AP generally takes a year or more. That's a little late to review. Currently, you can't go back to expand upon/change your reviews. That means any actual play experiences are likely to get lost.
Pathfinder 1E Wondering which are the best Paizo APs?

I have played through quite a few. in my Opinion ( and only for the ones I have PLAYED because I have READ all of them but haven't played all of them), the best AP's are in order:
1.) Rise of the Runelords ( the 1st and the best!)
2.) Carrion Crown ( Almost a tie with Rise of The Runelords for me! I LOVE the mood of the game!)
3.) Curse of the Crimson throne ( Also a Nice Setting a great mood, though not as good as Carrion crown in regards to mood)
4.)Reign Of winter ( Didn't love the 1st book of the six too well, But when you travel to Earth and meet Rasputin sh*t all comes together. A lot of fun!)
5.) Kingmaker: A Very solid and very nice AP. Faeries you say? yes Please! LOL Its a lot of fun and pretty well done
6.) Serpents Skull: Fun! Pirates etc.. That's the thing, but if you dig pirates and island hopping exploration then its pretty awesome
7.) Council of Thieves (Didn't like this obne much. It was hard to justify why a group would stay together and also there really wasn't much to do with THIEVERY as the name might suggest.
Also some of the Books have you sneaking into very improbable places ( Such as the Mayors mansion DURING a gathering of the Most powerful people in the city) That is where we lost the AP, had a
TPK and just quit. It was poorly set up and silly)
I haven't played any of the other paths though.

The GREAT, must-play Adventure Paths were, in my opinion:
1) AGE OF WORMS
2) SAVAGE TIDE
3) Reign of Winter
4) Curse of the Crimson Throne
5) Kingmaker
6) Strange Aeons
7) Skulls & Shackles
8) Shattered Star

If I can be forgiven for quoting you three years later ...
I love adapting adventure paths as needed, and I'm currently having a lot of fun running Second Darkness (just finished the second part).
However, my high opinion of Second Darkness isn't going to be much use to someone who buys adventure paths to run more or less "as is". Also, the "goblins as a core race" debate on Pathfinder2 has reminded me how much I loathe the initial set-up of Jade Regent - but for me that's a good thing, because it inspires me to come with an alternative start that suits me better.
I'd much prefer an adventure path with some great moments and some terrible bits to one which is consistently mediocre.

For reference, I've only reviewed APs that I've played or run.

Kingmaker is a sandbox. People have strong opinions on sandboxes - good and bad. That will result in a mediocre average rating. The best-rated item in any ranking is not the one some people love, but the one most people like.
