I only played RPG Maker games when RPG Maker 2000 (and 2003) were the only ones available. And just recently tried out some later releases with the Open Source implementation of RPG Maker 2000/2003 called EasyRPG using RetroArch.
As someone who is oldschool, my favorite games I played are Vampire's Dawn and Chocobo Panic (and Chocobo Panic in Space). The Chocobo games aren't RPGs at all, and are stylized Pac Man like games. There are a few German games I played (but never finished) and don't remember the names anymore, mostly horror themed adventures... 
There are some modern RPG Maker games that look pretty "professional". Need to play one to see how things have evolved.

For story driven ones i liked To the Moon, that others have mentioned, Finding Paradise, OneShot, and The coffin of andy and leyley (which is still ongoing). Some that have combat but are still focused on a story are Omori, and End roll. Almost all games where you go eventually go into someone's mind, i'm noticing now.

Omori is fantastic
It's one of those games that's best to go in blind (while knowing of the content warning)

Fear and Hunger 2 is pretty swell. The first one was kind of a bit too edgy for the sake of edginess, but miro did a much better job on the sequel

Space Funeral
I loved Space Funeral! It feels like such a love letter to fucking around and making something unique.

Fuck yeah space funeral. One minute you're being jumpscared by dramatic Charles Baudelaire readings and then chatting up Dracula in the next. It fucking rules

The main battle theme has been my phone ringtone for years.

I really want to like omori but it hit one of my biggest pet peeves in gaming. I abhor it when winning an "impossible" fight is mathematically possible to win but then the cutscene has you lose anyway. I dont have as much issue with actual impossible fights or fights with losing cutscenes after winning that game over on a loss. Its just fights that are meant to be impossible but arent, without changing any part of the outcome.
(Spoilers here for prospective players) Outside of the dream for the first time (assuming it happens more than once), I stocked up on medical supplies and unequipped the knife, and then beat Aubrey with my bare hands, and she still freaks out that I have a knife. Instantly lost my immersion and I dropped the game.
I dropped inscryption for the same reason when I won despite the static at the end of act 2 and the game doesn't even acknowledge your success.

OMORI is one of my favorite games, perhaps even my #1, in general.
