Interesting list but there's plenty Early Access and I wonder why you ignore Blackguards. And I don't think many players would agree that Arcanum combats are good.
If I remove Early Access, for most it would be a waste of fun to play them before release then it's just:
Blackguards
Temple of Elemental Evil (have to get it from GOG or similar, and install Circle of Eight mod pack to update)
Expeditions: Conquistador
Winter Voices
The Banner Saga
Eschalon Book series (no link with Spiderweb dev)
Avadon, Avernum, Geneforge, Nethergate series
My first quarter was quite good and thankfully sorted in a a more or less increasing fun: The Banner Saga, Eschalon Book 3, Blackguards, Shadowrun Dragonfall.
I didn't played much Winter Voices and should retry it, played more Avadon 2 but switched to something else and now need replay it from start because I forgot too much the story and context. Right now I'm trying replay Expeditions: Conquistador that I didn't finished it at my first attempt one year ago.
I also played Steam Marines but it's one more Early Access, it's a Roguelike but it's with a Team of 4 which is rather rare in this game genre. But it's EA and the mouse cursor disappearing makes it heavy to play currently, found it very good any way but the cursor problem still not fixed pollute the fun except if you like play with keyboard only, and another Early Access.
EDIT: About Omerta City of Gangsters, I also tried it some time ago, not few after release so a version supposed to be already improved but perhaps not as much than current state of the game. The writing is average but the problem I had with the game is to not understand nor get interested by the supposed strategic layer. I couldn't understand this layer and what strategic depth it had, it looked to me more like a management game taking busy a player. I couldn't find why do this or that and build any strategy beside basic developing in the way I want. Eventually I just didn't understood and didn't played it long enough to find a strategic layer.
The list I keep is actually more encompasing and I just pasted a few based on the OPs comments. I couldn't find a good way to organize my list, as it becomes a mix of roguelike, party grid, army grid, 4X, etc... If anyone wants to take a crack at it, maybe separating exploration vs combat modes of play...

Not going to list flash games of which there are many
welp i never have to search for games of this genre again hahaha, time to start looking through all these games!! thank you!!
You can't go wrong with Planescape Torment or Arcanum or Banner Saga. I liked Dark Sun but it may be too old for you.
Incubation is similar to XCOM minus base management. but so hard, it plays like a puzzle. Not much story either.
There is a gem called Vandal Hearts, on the PS1. I hope you know how to use emulators. 2nd part is not that good IMHO. In fact, there is a ton of story-driven tactical games on consoles: Langrisser series, Fire Emblem series, Shining Force series, Front Mission, Hoshigami, Koudelka, etc. etc.
I understand your troubles to classify it, but I felt RPG really need be separated. It's a very different beast than 4X, and strategy oriented. Also Most Rogulike are clearly Roguelike and when they get closer to RPG then it's RPG.
For sure there will be bordeline games hard to put in RPG or Strategy non RPG. But overall I don't feel at all the 4X/HoMM like/Squad based match RPG. No way XCOM is a RPG, and clearly most Tactical RPG are RPG.
For the combats system, I listed myself various categories:
- Party vs Single Character
- Turn Based vs Real Time With Pause vs Real Time.
For Turn Based the subcategories :
- Might & Magic like
- Turn Based on a board
- Simultaneous Turns
- Play and Go with turns
For Real Time With Pause category :
- Iso/Top view
- First Person/from Behind/Over The Shoulder view
- Play and Go with pause
For Real Time category :
- Dungeon Master like
- Iso/Top view (includes Diablo like)
- First Person/from Behind/Over The Shoulder view (most modern AAA RPG)
So the Party/Not party plus the combat genre and sub-genre defines a specific category qualifying the combats.
There are clearly other variations of combats, I just don't remind them in RPG, sort of still to be done. It doesn't includes other elements quite significant for RPG. Meaning from a RPG point of view even inside a category there are huge variations.
For non RPG it's even more huge. :-)
100% classic cyberpunk videogame (1996), buy it from GOG. This should hold you off 'till the next Shadowrun release.
BTW, when comparing Syndicate: Wars' (1996) complexity to today's AAA games' complexity (i.e. Syndicate 2012), it's worth noting the date Syndicate: Wars was made, as it was made during the time of Fallout 1 & 2. Therefore, it has built-in immunity to the "dumbing-down" market demand influence of today's mass casual gamers, enjoy.

Sorry, but I highly disagree with this "dumbing down" thing a lot of these "hardcore" gamer dudes are claiming is occuring. It's not so much a dumbing down, it's more in the vein that devs are looking to make a different kind of game and developers are looking to make as much money as possible. Syndicate 2012 was not meant to be an isometric turn based rpg like it's predecessor, it was a decent fps with the worst publisher on the planet (EA) and it should've released at $20 or $30 rather than $60. It was a decent game. It's not so much dumbing down imo as it is corporate intervention in the industry.
7-10 years ago gaming was still a very niche entertainment outlet and now that it has reached the point of a forefront outlet things are bound to change. Games are not "dumbed down" they're just different. Not every game needs to be this foray into intelligence and depth. Some people just wanna play games where you shoot things and there are some cool scripted moments. Now, is there a presence of "cashing in" by developers? Yes, that is for sure. Take Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty, mediocore (albeit fun) games that each have HUGE followings. Assassin's Creed preys off of it's target market by making them feel intelligent and that the storyline is deep and interesting (it's not) and Call of Duty just cashes in on straight white dudes who like to shoot things and call people homophobic slurs and drink mountain dew. This is not a "dumbing down", it's a target market shift.
And there's the "season passes" for DLC that go for crazy high prices and the stupid preorder bonuses that really don't give you anything at all except a new skin or a golden gun. The deepest of games have these and it's not a consequence of dumbing down by developers but rather a money making tactic of corporations like EA. Is Dark Souls 2 still a highly complex, engaging, fun game even though it had like 7 pre order bonuses? Yes, it is. Is Borderlands 2 still an extremely fun, hilarious, relatively deep game that has sucked hundreds of hours out of people's lives even though it has 40+ dlc packs and a season pass? Yes, it is.
Lastly, the game market is different than it was in 1995. CRPGs were the norm, now the norm is FPS games and the like. Twenty years from now we might be looking back at 2014 with a fond nostalgia of the scripted FPS genre.
There are still games that conform to the ridiculously high standards of the so called "hardcore" gamer market. And honestly this market is just as likely to fall victim to publisher/developer tactics with this new "sorta kinda remaking classic games to lure dudes in their late twenties into dropping $40 on a prettier remake of the original".
And one last thing, I'd take Fallout 3 over the original Fallout games any day.
We had more than enough simple and dumb games in 80s and 90s. But Syndicate franchise was not. They could chose another IP, say, some stylish action platformer, and turn it into a shooter, but instead they chose Syndicate, which is a strategy game. This is why we call it "dumbing down".
Geometry Wars is not dumbed down Robotron, Resogun is not dumbed down Defender. But modern Syndicate IS dumbed down, modern XCOM IS dumbed down(but at least it remained a strategy game).
Congratulations, you entirely missed the point! (And honestly, it doesn't matter what genre the old Syndicate was, all that matters in my argument is that it has changed.)
I see a lot of good recommendations here in the chat. In case you've managed to miss the golden trio of fantasy CRPGS like Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Planescape - try them. True, they aren't really turn based, but they are with active pause and that pause can be set automatically after each round of combat or just invoked anytime you wish,
