It's common sense that most games can have better graphics and even better gameplay on PC because of the advantages of the PC environment, since easily upgradable hardware to mods and unofficial bug fixes.

However, there are some multiplatform games which are better playable on consoles, even recent games, since their PC ports may have been poorly developed or PC is not the primary platform they were developed for or even because of censorship. An example is the critically acclaimed Child of Light, which had multiplatform versions that were better than the PC version, which was heavily criticized due to a lot of bugs that were not present in other versions.

What games do you think they are better playable on consoles and why? And what console version is the best one for that game?

There are a few games which have split screen co-op on console but not PC. Can't remember offhand, but that definitely matters to me (pretty much the only games I play on PC/console are co-op with my son).

Also, in general since I got the Xbox One I enjoy console games more, simply because they're designed for the get go to work on that weak (and cheap) hardware. On the PC there's a lot more need for having the right hardware and tweaking.

Old, PS2-era Spider-Man 2. PC didn't get just weak port, PC got totally different, totally broken and shitty build.
James Bond Nightfire - PC port had bunch of levels stripped away/not-ported (mostly driving ones, guess Gearbox was too lazy to port vehicles). And I am talking about single-player levels.

Nightfire on PC was a wretched, buggy mess. I once died during a cutscene!

I can bet all the games from Asian publishers, such as Koei, Bandai, Capcom etc. Their ports are trash 99% of the time.

The worst port I played on PC is Resident Evil 4. I had to run a software for key binding and another to properly use the mouse. I played it in a modern laptop, so maybe this caused the issue, but it has been one of the most frustrating experience I had in gaming.
