Zero Escape series: I love them, even ZTD. Some hated that ending, while I don't think it's that bad.

Infinity series:

Never7 is very slow, and romance heavy with bit sci-fi. I don't like this game
Ever17 starts getting better, leaning more towards sci-fi, but can still be quite slow
Remember11 is the best among the infinity series, it's sci-fi horror mystery. Some say the ending is kinda incomplete due to budget issue, I'd say that the ending is bit of cliffhanger, but the main story is more or less complete

Raging Loop: a really good supernatural horror mystery. Maybe even better than Zero Escape series. I highly recommend this.

Paranormasight: a solid horror mystery VN released this year, there's some smart puzzle and writing, but the ending is kinda unfulfilling.

Meitantei Conan & Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbou: it's fan translated DS game. I am a Kindaichi fan, and the Kindaichi section is good mystery. The Conan part is ... well, I'm not into Case Closed, their mystery always feel bit geared towards kids.

Danganronpa series: There are parts of the games that I like, but somehow I couldn't stand the annoying character tropes prevalent in the series, and also those fan-service-y part. Some people dislike the final ending, I'm ok with it.

Root Letter & Root Film: Root Letter starts out good, but somehow one of the endings ruined the whole game. Root Film starts off promising, but the deduction part is kinda stupid and boring. Also the ending is not good.

Policenauts & Snatcher: They are quite interesting. I enjoyed Policenauts quite a bit. Snatcher is good too.

Silver Case: couldn't stand the banter and writing. Everything feels so slow, and very Suda51.

13 Sentinels Aegis Rim: quite a solid sci-fi kitchen sink visual novel. It does feel like they are biting more than they could chew though.

AI the Somnium File: okay sci-fi mystery VN, I don't think it hits the high of Zero Escape.

Fatamorgana: I thought it was a murder mystery VN, didn't realize it's more romance, couldn't get into it.

Steins; Gate: I tried to like this game so many times. Okabe the main character is very grating.

I've probably missed some, I recently bought Root Double, which is from the co-writer of the Infinity series, heard that it's really good.
