It’s such an overcrowded genre isn’t it? I mean it’s ridiculous how many top down games there are out there… I’ve played so many now, they just blend into each other.
Are there any top down games that do something different (or the same but really really well). For example, my last really positive experiences with this format were Desperados 3 and Shadow Gambit The Cursed Crew.

I apologize if my recommendations are not what you are looking for but have you tried:
Disco Elysium? Cuz that game blew my fucking mind. I voice acting and characters are superb.
Signalis. Its such a lovely artsy game thats like resident evil but more story driven imo (less survival).
I love poe2 with wasd movement. I beg you to try it out. It was something i was hesitant at first but now I wish all arpg’s had this feature.
Kenshi is also a great option but I don’t think its for everyone. Still recommend it though cuz the world is very mysterious in first playthrough.
