When you check steam's recommendations or google this you get pretty random results, so which (good) games actually play like Bastion? Isometric perspective hack 'n slash/beat 'em up with some crafting and/or skill tree/slots, leveling, some movement focus in combos and dodging (unlike Diablo), hub map with some non-linearity (or a more interconnected world), etc.
I am not really looking for rogue-lites here, unless they are of the diablo variety where the world randomizes between playthroughs only and not after death and don't focus on meta progression to get anywhere. Also haven't quite beaten this game yet btw.
I know some later Ys games are similar, just top down/bird's eye view. And I know of the devs' other games.
Some games I've played that are similar:
Landstalker - Also a platformer and a Zelda-like
Light Crusader - Puzzle platformer/hack 'n slash hybrid structured like Diablo 1
Kinda sorta similar:
Solstice - A puzzle platformer which takes place in one big dungeon
Super Mario RPG - RPG battle encounters and party-based. A platformer outside of battle, with some mini-games
Mystic Towers - Similar to Solstice
Alienation (PS4) - Someone recommended this, but it seems more like Smash TV.
