I was especially fond of M&M 6 7 and 8 as a kid. I have also played the most recent, 10, which while different and flawed in many ways, was still good enough to be enjoyable. I have also liked things like Wizardry 8 in the past.
I did try to replay 7 recently, but I thought that it has not maybe aged too well as the combat was too grindy for my current tastes.
Can anyone recommend something similar perhaps?
If you’re okay with some emulation, there’s Dungeon Master and Captive.
