I've recently rekindled my love for Katamari Damacy and it made me wonder if there's any other amazing cult classics out there that aren't talked about these days. What are your recommendations?

EarthBound for the SNES is one of my favorite RPGs. Very original for its time in terms of setting and battle mechanics. Also, Ness from Smash Bros. is in it!

Such a weird game! The artstyle and just the "weirdness" of it is out of this world.

I'm not a fan of turn-based battles, but this is one of the few games (including Chrono Trigger) where it's legitimately fun. To this day I still think about it.

Have you played Eastward? Unless I’m mistaken Earthbound is part of the game and plot. If you like Earthbound you might like Eastward. I enjoyed it even having never played Earthbound but I’m sure I missed a lot of references / analogies.

I played Eastward and really enjoyed it, even though I thought the ending was bittersweet.

I've heard reviews compare it to EarthBound and I guess it reminds me of EarthBound stylistically, but plays more like Zelda or something.

There's a game within the game called Earth Born that plays like a fast-paced Dragon Quest. It's an interesting game. :D
