Shin Megami Tensei If... was my first old-school dungeon crawler, and for what it's worth it has a lot of interesting ideas, though they don't really coalesce into anything good. I found the game's aesthetic and music to be pretty cool, at least. I wanted a lot more out of the If...'s plot, and found myself dropping the game at the World of Sloth because I had no motivation to continue. One of the most aggressively mid games I've ever played, though I don't regret trying it out in the slightest.
