I play all these games in Japanese to further my understanding of the language, no tranny localizations for me. All of them are developed by Alicesoft, and I think the eroge industry has a ton of soul, unlike the corporate trash that gets published nowadays.
Rance VI: The Collapse of Zeth - Erotic JRPG. The story is really good, the gameplay is standard for JRPGs but with some unique mechanics, some of them good, others bizarre. The music is top notch. The H-scenes range from good to great. The girls are all cute in their own way, and my boy Rance is still a lovable dork despite all the evil things he does. Kanami is best girl, as always, and I wish I had a friend like Rocky.
闘神都市(Toushin Toshi) - Old as balls erotic JRPG. Clunky but easy. The story is fine, the boss mechanics are interesting, and the scenes are meh. Running the game is a pain in the ass, since I have to change the virtual floppy discs between dungeons and it has a memory leak, which kills the game every 20 minutes or so. Gotta save often.
超昂大戦 - Japanese erotic gacha. I only play this because of one VA and a couple characters. The main story is shounen-level, but the special events and the character stories are interesting. The music is great, the gameplay is generic. All the characters have a lovey-dovey scene and a rape scene, but I refuse to watch them due to the brutality and to avoid the mental damage they deal. I seriously don’t wanna know what the writers take to come up with all the scenes.
Your macro-level taste is impeccable, but your micro-level taste grows ever curiouser. Aside from the obvious that Rance is clearly best girl, why Kanami?
She's cute and I love her design. Small frame but not flat, long purple hair, the cowlick. The ninja clothes are great, too.
I like how she sometimes plays the straight man to Rance's antics.
She's feminine and is not a shameless seductress like other girls. I love how she does many things while being absolutely embarrassed; her vow of loyalty to Lia and her clumsiness throw her into interesting situations.
When her usually stoic self breaks down and her true feelings come out it makes me want to protect her. Getting to that point requires some bullying though, which is nice in moderate quantities.

So... Because she's a tsundere in a world of derederes?
Reasonable. Variety and differences is key in character design.
