- I Got Next | A Documentary on the Fighting Game Scene (he released a 45 min cut online; the DVDs were sent out much later but the reward included a downloadable version which was available as soon as it was ready)
- Infinite Blank (a game where you draw anything you want on a single screen - platforms, etc - and it's stitched to someone else's screen, creating a patchwork platforming game. I barely played it but it was delivered as promised!)
- Sketcz's "One Million Stretch Goals: An Epic Pulp Saga" (I haven't read it yet but it's on my Kindle)
- The Wonderful 101 (I chose the PS4 download code which arrived on time)
There are only two other KS's I've backed - Shenmue 3 which was delayed(but I only paid $5), and a Shenmue 3 documentary which is currently delayed due to the lockdown and some legal issues.

Honestly, I think even the projects that have done well have been subject to plenty of rants. Bloodstained just got mentioned above as an example of good, and generally yes, I'm delighted with the end product, but I had my fair share of grumbles when I got my copy months after general release (specified a Japanese physical copy).
Hyper Light Drifter, La Mulana 2, Amplitude, République, Broken Age, Sportsfriends, Shantae: HGH, Thimbleweed Park - some of the other examples I've got of projects that I'm generally very pleased to have backed. Expand that to gaming books, and the list gets bigger, particularly with Bitmap Books and Read Only Memory having used Kickstarter almost exclusively for the last few years.
edit: but yes, one thing that almost all campaigns have in common is that the deliverable dates are almost never met. Patience is definitely a thing with any of these.

I’ve had mixed luck with Kickstarters.
Shenmue 3 - Was a bit crap and the slipcase for backing it was a garbage bonus for spending more on backing it than buying it post release.
Bloodstained - Decent game, but backer rewards were poor, and the guy that they brought on to manage backers was pretty insulting in his arrogance.
Insert Coin Documentary - 5 years and still waiting. I feel like it’s been shown at every movie festival ever and the backers are the only people who haven’t seen it.
Lizard for NES - Overran, but happy with overall result and communication throughout.
Bitmap Brothers Universe Book - Excellent product, very happy.
Mega Drive Collected Works - Excellent again
Pier Solar HD for Dreamcast - Took forever to arrive, but product was good when it did. Turns out the creator is actually a scamming piece of crap though.
Cheetahmen II for NES- Happy with it

Project Nimbus was the best i backed...i liked the release game though still think it badly needs a end of level grading system and unlockables, its one of the few projects where Programmers contacted me directly when i reported bugs and talked me through them, plus i got my name and quote as one of the enemy mechs lol

Some projects though are so mismanaged its unbelievable, Like if you have not seen it read the Unsung story debacle.
