D4 is worse, imho. It forces you to play multiplayer at all times, completely destroying any immersion in the lore.
Sucks, too, because they nailed Diablo's atmosphere (from games 1 & 2, not the WoW-ified D3 aesthetic.)
Is Diablo 2 still worth playing in 2023? I played D3 a few years back and thought it was just okay.
Absolutely... with mods!
Granted, I haven't had time to sink into it recently, so I'm a bit out of the loop, but Path of Diablo is very popular, and I know there's another big one I don't have time to hunt down rn.
D2R is also an option.
That said, I have the nostalgia and patience for D2's idiosyncrasies from having played it for years; I'm not sure how well it holds up for someone completely new, coming from the more streamlined/polished UX from modern games.
Sweet, thanks for the mod recommendations! Do you know how Diablo 2: Resurrected differs from the original version and if it's worth the $30 extra?
If you've never played the original, take the Resurrected. They're the same game, but Resurrected is beautiful. Be warned though that mechanically, it's an old game, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it back then.
Diablo 2 has aged fantastically. It is still pretty much the king of the genre despite being 23 years old. D2R did a lot to bring the visuals up to date. Unlike other ARPGs, you can actually beat the game pretty fast if you know what you are doing. It's a very efficient and clean game design. The game is a blast to play casually.
