More welcoming than Diablo 2 and less bloated than Diablo 4, Blizzard's 2012 action RPG is also one of the best games on Xbox Game Pass.
The short version
- On console, it's also one of the best local co-op games of all time In Diablo circles — I don't mean circles of hell, I mean in the community around Blizzard's dark fantasy action RPGs — there is a cool game to like, and it's Diablo 2 .
- The 2000 game is Diablo at its moodiest and most unforgiving.
- Yet it's still impressive in its scale, has unbeatable longevity, and plays pretty well today, especially in the Resurrected remaster.
What happened
You can try for purist points and stump for the first Diablo , but it's very much a first draft, and nobody really thinks it's a superior game. Diablo 4 is far too current and too popular to be cool to like; the done thing is to complain about whatever the latest balance changes or endgame tweaks are instead.
Why it matters
I have always loved Diablo 3 — even at launch, when it had many problems.
