I miss having enough time to play more games… Thanks for the nostalgia trip though OP.
Fuckin Golden Sun was super legit. I even loaded up an emulator and replayed just a few years ago. It holds up perfectly well.
If you’d be interested in a kind of spiritual successor, try CrossCode. Not exactly the same, the combat is very different, but the general exploration reminds me of Golden Sun a lot.
We need more Golden Sun in the world today
Alley Cat, Dukem Nukem 3D, Ultima (4, 5, and 7), Daytona, Day of the Tentacle, Zack McCracken…
As if I wasn’t making myself feel old enough man you had to mention Ultima…
I mentioned this in another comment as well… but…
Ultima IV is free on GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/ultima_4
Also have you seen MoonRing? It’s a very recently released game, very Ultima inspired game from one of the original devs on Fable.

How did I forget about Alley Cat?
