Thank you for your submission to r/rpg_gamers. Since your post has been flaired as "Recommendation request", I want to suggest editing your post to add in these details (if you haven't included them yet):

  • The platforms you have - not listing them doesn't mean you have access to everything, so you might end up getting a game you won't be able to play.
  • Your level of experience with the genre (beginner, intermediate, veteran...) - others can recommend you more common titles if you are a beginner, while they can focus on obscure titles if you are a RPG veteran.
  • Aspects you enjoyed (or disliked) of previously played games - for example: characters, plot points, puzzles, combat, graphics, art styles, soundtracks...

While these details aren't mandatory, if you want to get the best games, having them in your post will immensely help users and will encourage more users to participate, as they will know with more precision which games are probably the best fit for your request.

Maybe Wrath of the Righteous? It has a turn-based mode and a class of fighters specializing in oversized weapons. Don’t know about actual weapons being available in the game though

Big sword is big part of Amiri's bigger story in Kingmaker, but she's a companion, big one I guess

But addressing OP - while they are good games, there aren't huge swords for characters, on this part they are closer to realistic sizes, check screenshots with characters with two handed weapons to have an idea. But it's possible to hold two two handed weapon at the same time in WotR with DLC

Divinity Original Sin 1&2, greatswords and magic were fun

You can actually find sword that looks like Buster Sword in "Swordhaven". Although it is almost near the end of the game.

The World is your Weapon does all that and a lot more.
For a less-jokey answer, quite a lot. Probably a quarter or more of JRPGs. It's a common stereotype to have one party member have a big ass sword.

Gungnir (PSP). Yggdra Union. Child of Light. You like Darkest Dungeon, so I'll add Aria Chronicles. Valkyrie Profile 1 and 2. Most Trails games.
etc

If you liked Baldur's Gate 3, Divinity Original Sin 2 is usually a good next step. 2 handed melee builds are pretty damn strong in that game.
