I've just discovered that I really enjoy Diablo 3 on PC.
After playing the game multiple times on console it never really "grabbed" me. Well, the other day I got an itch to give it another try, but my wife was using the TV so I downloaded the free trial on PC... I didn't stop playing until the Skeleton King fell, upon which the trial is over. This may not sound like a big deal, but with life being life-- marriage, house, job, ect.-- I can't remember the last time I sat down and played a game for 2-3 hours straight, completely losing myself. I'm not sure why I seem to enjoy the PC version so much more? It just feels really good. It seems like the perfect game to come home and unwind to after a long day.
Anyhow, I've been digging into the world of isometric ARPG's now, which is completely new to me. I have no nostalgia for this genre at all.
As a little disclaimer, I have tried Path of Exile and I don't really care for it. In my opinion, the game feels rigid and a little unresponsive. POE was actually the first ARPG I ever tried. I played it a few years ago and was turned off, so I kind of wrote the entire genre off.
Well, Diablo 3 is completely different; this game is super fluid and feels excellent.
So, at this point I'm deciding if I want to drop the money on Diablo 3 for the full version on PC or see if there's another, better game I should try, such as Grim Dawn or Torchlight, just to name a couple.
What games would you guys recommend to a newcomer?
What game in this genre has the best "feel"?,
