Games that play like Wiz8
I love wiz8 a lot, but I've not played a game that plays like it (where your party is behind the screen as you're walking and fighting in a 3d map field)

What other games play like wiz8?

Some similar games off the top of my head, that are not the obvious choices such as Wiz 6 and 7, would be. Might and Magic X, Legend of Grimrock, Eye of the Beholder and Menzoberranzan(Much older games, check GoG for the Archives Packs). Those should hold you over for a while and im sure others will chime in with thier choices. The view and idea will be the same, if not exactly like the Wiz series

One of the most comprehensive lists of Wizardry-like games/clones can be found here: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/long-live-wizardry-and-the-all-new-games-by-ex-wizardry-developers-updated-march-07-2016.105918/
Well, except you're looking for a game that's exactly like Wizardry 8... that is, featuring continuous movement instead of grid-based, having no random encounters etc. Personally, I haven't come across a dungeon crawler/blobber as innovative and advanced as Wizardry 8, one that I would like playing as much as Wizardry 8.
You can also try Wizardrs and Warriors, a game from one of the creators of Wizardry 5-7.

Older (VI through 9) Might & Magic games are pretty good too. Same kind of open movment & questing

Might and Magic 6 through 8 are similar and have the added benefits of flying and invisibility (great for reconnaissance). The magic system is very different from Wizardry 8 but is also an excellent one. Monsters do not level-up as the characters like they do in Wizardry 8, so it is only by exploring new areas and dungeons that monster levels increase. They are a lot of fun.

Might and Magic 9 was a disappointment that greatly reduced the magic system, eliminated flying and invisibility, made movement on the ground linear when outside of town areas and added quite a few player (not character) dexterity elements. It was fun anyway, but not nearly as much as the other Might and Magic games.

Agreed, 9 was quite different from the previous offerings. Personally VII is my favourite

Dungeon Lords is another. I've not copleted it tho....yet
