A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

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.

I’ll throw my vote for Diablo 3. The game can be wicked addictive. I got the platinum trophy on PlayStation which was no quick feat. I just couldn’t stop playing. I would suggest choosing the Crusader to play as first. Super fun and has these flails that are specific weapons to his character. I had so much fun with the Akkhan armor set and the legendary flail called Fate of the Fell. Can take you well into the torment difficulty levels. Chef’s kiss of a game. I think people should really give it a chance if they like the Diablo style of game at all.

You should give Path Of Exile a shot. It's very much like Diablo, but it's free to play (just pay for cosmetics).

I only ever played diablo 2, but I had a lot of fun playing it!

Yeah, but they aren't fun if you run into cheaters. They're a blast if you play with some of your friends. There are other similar games too, so I recommend you give the whole genre a shot.

I wouldn't recommend going as far back as the first one. Diablo 2 Resurrected came out last year and is a good starting point for the series if you're thinking about trying it out. I never got into 3, but so far 4 feels really good.
