If you like gathering, crafting and a light colourful game then, yes. It was my first modern Atelier game and as a result I enjoyed it enough to purchase all available Atelier games on steam. However some people have hated the game.

I have several good things to say about Ryza.

  1. Tone. Many games I play these days take a very serious or dark and gritty tone. Ryza, and atelier as a whole, is the opposite. It's bright, colorful, and happy. They just out to tell a wholesome coming of age story. It was like a breath of fresh air when I first played it.

  2. Great sound track.

  3. Best crafting system I have ever played with. Since the story is about a young alchemist just starting to learn her trade, the whole game is built up around the crafting system. Even when you beat bosses, instead of dropping treasure or legendary gear, they drop rare crafting materials. That being said, it also means you will be spending most of your time gathering materials and crafting new items. If that is not your thing, you probably won't like the game.

  4. Very scalable difficulty. Since you craft all of the gear you use, you have a lot of control over the game's challenge. You can choose to make it almost impossible by making trash items, or go full god mode crafting to bring down end games bosses in just a couple hits.

I had no prior experience with the Atelier series, but I bought Ryza 1 on sale a year or so ago. I didn't finish it, but I easily got 20 hours of enjoyment out of it.

It's a light story just to keep things moving along. The meat is exploration and gathering to make cool items. Combat is a pretty standard issue turn based JRPG experience, but it provides one of the avenues to use items you might make - like bombs and such. It's a low stakes genuinely fun expression of the traits above. I'd recommend it to people who like those things.

It's super "anime", which isn't a knock, just something to be aware of if you like or dislike that style.
