It's one of those games whose DNA you can still trace in modern ARPGs such as Path of Exile, Lords of Wolcen, and the eventual Diablo III. The original release of Blizzard's sequel in 2000 was an inflection point for the nascent genre, defining the direction all games after it would take. You may end up putting in hundreds of hours in one of them so at least go for the most visually appealing to you.It's impossible to talk about action role-playing games without mentioning Diablo II. I'd say watch some gameplay videos, and go for the one that you like better.

I do prefer d2r, but I've put more hours into d3 than d2+d2r combined so there's that. Thats something impossible to think in d3. I mean, I've finished the campaign like a hundred times and I still enjoy leveling up a new character. And you can just play the game even if you dont get to the endgame. Ofc you are gonna farm for gear, runes, xp, but its different. Its an old game with limited endgame but its your character and your skills that give you power, not gear. So if you want to just listen podcast or music while playing, farming, chillin, there you go.ĭ2r is more rpgish imo. once you have all that gear, you farm in order to get the same gear with better stats). Yes, there's a lot of builds, ones more complicated than others, but you are gonna need specific gear to play them (specific legendary items + set items. And the difficulty is based on your gear, not your game skill. You can put in 2k hours and still need to farm.
