I’ve never played any of the Diablos, or met anyone who has. But they are obviously popular for a reason. Are they worth going back to the first one?
Edit: Thanks for the answers, the community is alive! Based on you recommendations it looks like I’m going to give 2 resurrected a try.
You should give Path Of Exile a shot. It’s very much like Diablo, but it’s free to play (just pay for cosmetics).
As a warning, this game is wildly complex. I played up to the first boss and kept getting wiped immediately even though I would handle the mobs in the area.
PoE is a fantastic game but for beginners learning builds and stuff can be challenging, if you aren’t afrai of guides or just want to piddle around without one for free you can really learn what the Diablo series is like.
It’s been a while for me, but I never used a guide when I played. If anything, that took the fun right out of it for me, because it felt like in order to properly play the game, I first had to grind the game.
To each their own of course, but for me the most fun was when I first played the campaign and the whole story and settings /enemies was new. Playing through the campaign again and again on higher difficulties never could hold my interest for long. But I know that’s the main draw for a lot of players.
Also, if you dislike toxic gamers, consider turning off chat before you even start. I found myself put off the game by the tolerance of really bigoted things being said. Gameplay was fun, from what I remember…
