There are better games than Diablo nowadays. I've been having a blast on Grim Dawn.
Is it similar? I loved D2 but despised D3
I loved d2, d3 I played for a while but a drop in the bucket compared to the original d2. Grim dawn also didn't grip me and neither did path of exile.
I'm afraid I'm just chasing the nostalgia of one of my favorite childhood games that nothing really has a hope of living up to.
I was in the same boat. Last Epoch did it for me - more than 100 hours now, they went by very quickly. 👍
Can they just give us an offline version and let us do whatever we want on it?
No that would involve you owning the product and thats bad.
thats not how digital ownership works. theres plenty of software with offline versions that you dont "own" in the traditional sense
And I didn't even need any more reasons to not get this game!
Diablo was dead after Diablo 2. Resurrected was pretty good but I really dislike the always online BS. And at the end of the day, it's still the same old game with a facelift. Recently started playing Diablo 3 again and I realize why I never really got into it. It's more like gauntlet than Diablo.

It's not always online, the single player can be played offline, just start the binary directly I think.
What it lacks compared to the original is a way for private realms (not that these were ever officially supported in the original game). Still got the game on offer for $20 and think it's been a great remaster, I had a blast. If you still l want to play D2 in 2023 is a different question though. It was great in its day but a lot of the concepts show their age.
