Diablo and Diablo-style games like Torchlight. Every time a new one comes out a few of my friends get excited and I've been convinced to try it again, but I think I've learned my lesson finally and I have skipped Diablo IV.
Diablo and Diablo 2 robbed years of my life. I just can't get the same enjoyment out of any other game of the genre. I legit tried to give D3 a try... it was nothing the same... not even close.
I don't why Diablo and D2 were so damn good (IMO) and why the others just aren't.
RTS games have similar problems for me too... I played C&C and Starcraft a lot... there've been no other RTS games that I can even tolerate. Even going back and playing the C&C remaster... It's just better even though it's laden with old game QOL issues.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Something about the isometric/top-down ARPG genre has never clicked with me, and I really can't figure out why. I've tried torchlight, every diablo (except 4), path of exile - I end up bouncing off of them after a week or so and just lose interest.
It makes even less sense when you consider I can sink 300+ hours into Souls/Elden Ring or Xenoblade... Something about the format just doesn't work for me, I guess.
