any games out there that are close to D2?

only D1 is close to D2 experience.
PoE is also close.
i've tried:
Wolcen (horrible)
Last Epoch(horrible)
Grim dawn(ok, soso)
dungeon siege 1-2-3
titan quest
torchlight 1-2
sacred 1-2

any recommendations for someone who is not that religious about D2?

sacred 2 is amazing to....stay away from the rest tho....

+1 for Sacred here. Loved it back in the day, it's an amazing game (especially if you play with the Seraphim, lol).

Tried Sacred 2 as well, but my computer at the time wasn't good enough to run it maxed out, so I uninstalled it. It was looking pretty promising, though.

I finished them all too.

titan quest, torch light 1&2.
i forgot if i played sacred 2 or 1...
gotta check it out then
thanks..
if you have more let me know..

Major +1 for sacred 2

sounds very interesting! i hope this will ease my itch..

Dungeon Siege 2. Many mechanics resemble those from Diablo quite close: item types (normal, magic, rare, set, unique), skill trees, enchanting (like socketing, including runeword-like recipes) and so on.
The major difference is that you control the entire party, not just one character, but you can play solo (except for just a few quests which requires a specific party member) for an extra challenge.

Dungeon Siege 2.

yeah i played it...
its also a co op single player if i recall? like this throne of darkness which i didn't know.

i played all dungeon siege 1-2-3. was nice.

If this hasnt been mentioned yet,

You should try shadow : awakening and is prequel, very good dungeon crawlers with gameplay twist.

Graphic is excellent for its time. You switch between light and shadow realm for gameplay mechanics. Give it a shot.

I play it on gog for drm free version. Super cheap and worth trying out

If you’ve got a Nintendo switch or wii I’d recommend Zelda: breath of the wild. It’s similar in that it’s a hack and slash action rpg with incredible depth of play and re-play value, and rng plays just as much a role as player skill. There are differences though - it’s 3d and there’s only 1 character, the different classes come from how you play.

To add on this topic, any games similar to d2 for mobile devices?

All good mentions so far. Loved Sacred 1 & 2. Titan Quest was a classic. Grim Dawn wasn't bad. Zelda BoTW was really good (I'd recommend playing on Hard mode, as normal was waaay too easy IMO).

And there were a couple awesome ARPG's on PSP back in the day. I think my favorites were:

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
https://www.metacritic.com/game/psp/mar ... e-alliance

X-MEN LEGENDS II: RISE OF APOCALYPSE
https://www.metacritic.com/game/psp/x-m ... apocalypse

Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony
https://www.metacritic.com/game/psp/dun ... e-of-agony

Every now and then I'll dust off my PSP and load one up. So many good RPGs on that system and able to download them all easily for free and play with custom firmware. Guessing one could emulate most of them now on PC as well.

Ever tried some D2 mods? I've played lots of them in the past and there are good ones. Median XL was the one i realy dove deep into, but i'm not sure if it's working with your default d2r installation.

There are a lot of good recommendations here, and I would second many of them, but it seems you've already tried most of them and didn't enjoy them.

With that in mind, I second Blubbalutsch recommendation of trying some D2/D2R mods. A few of them change the game pretty significantly, and even some of the ones that don't can add spice back to the game if you are bored.

actually there are good recommendations. which i'm counting on them. just those that i tried i didn't enjoy it as much as..

i've started that 5 samurai, throne of darkness, which was interesting gaemplay.

Shadow looks really good, I hope its better than these Last epoch and Wolcen..

there was victor vran also which was pretty damn good. but i've played it.

try shadow : awakening

yeah, its kinda slow no?
the graphics are really great, the combos are cool(playing warrior), and the plot seems interesting, I'll try and give it more go..playing on hard..could be a mistake..
but it's not a diablo, PoE is better at least in terms of closer to diablo gameplay.

yeah, no PSP..not much of a console fan, I like to hide from the family when i am playing, and not everyone seeing me playing on TV

Yep. Some games just kind of stand alone.

Heck, I've played just about every game you can find that is "like Skyrim," "like Diablo," "like Factorio," and a dozen others besides. I've even beat most of them. I've never found an equal to quite a few games.
