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?
A remake of the arcomage game from the inn in MM7 is available for Android. It’s called archmage lite. It’s not what you asked for but if you enjoyed it in MM7 you’ll like this too.
