If youre still looking for an RPG after Abyss Id recommend Suikoden V still.
heres some reviews

top 5 off metacritic

95
RPG Fan
The game is sure to be a classic with many Suikoden fans, especially those like myself who felt disappointment with how III and IV turned out.

94
Ferrago
Those new to the Suikoden series and RPGs in general, you could choose no better series or game to start playing, this one has it all.

92
Worth Playing
If you can handle slight annoyances every now and then and can stomach a prologue sequence that makes the beginning of "Kingdom Hearts 2" seem brisk and concise, Suikoden V is most certainly one of the best RPGs on the PlayStation 2, bar none.

90
Game Chronicles
Suikoden V is damn good. The story is one of the very best in all of gaming, even surpassing some of the previous Suikoden titles in its intricacy and brilliance with its complex, realistic characters and motives, and a plot that draws you in like a good book.

DarkStation
Suikoden has always been one of the underrated console RPG, and it really shines here with an engaging plot, solid combat system and stylish visuals.

 
 Lowest 5 off Metacritic(took out a couple that offers no insight)
60
Pro-G
Although by no means a perfect RPG, Suikoden V is an enjoyable game, but more so for connoisseurs of the series or RPG fans. Those new to the genre might wish to go for something which is more accessible and moves at a faster pace.

It does little to update the series' aging formula, but Suikoden V is still an enjoyable experience with a compelling story. [May 2006, p.81]

A great Suikoden game, then, but only a fair role-playing game by today's standards. [Sept 2006, p.128]

58
Game Revolution
Long loading screens and some bad design decisions make this game a tougher sale than it should be, but a great story and excellent voice acting make for an easy rental.

Its intelligent plot and great looks could have made Suikoden V spellbinding - if only it wasn't so tedious. [Nov 2006, p.106]
