I love turn based RPGs so what's good, what should I be getting, what's one of those games that's on such a good sale I'd be a fool to pass it up?

I forgot about Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass, which is also in the Earthbound-like category and arguably maybe the fourth best after UT, Omori, and OFF. It's also on sale. I have some criticisms of it since it's probably the game I played the most of any I've mentioned (it's one of the only ones with any post-game, and a pretty solid one at that) that I can get into if you like, but so long as you can stand: a) the occasional veer into edgelord aesthetics (watch the trailer) and b) the most pandering variant of an already exhausting plot-twist trope (though the execution on it makes it worthwhile, imo), then I think most RPG fans will really like it.
