Welcome back. This part of the series will be primarily focusing on genres. So far I have [Arcade Game, Action, Text dungeon, Survival, Sandbox, Shoot/beat 'em up, Adventure, Turn Based Strategy, Real Time Tactics, Grand Strategy, Tower Defense, and Miscellaneous] as available genres. Let me know if I missed something, and I will try to get it added.
This is eventually all going to get compiled into one megathread for people who want gaming recommendations from Chapos specifically. Other consoles and genres will come in sporadic subsequent threads. Please contribute to previous threads if you missed them. This is meant to be an exhaustive list.
Diablo 2 is still really good but its age is showing, D2r should improve on that front. Mods are what really make the game shine, though.
Grim Dawn is by far the best recent arpg. It's a spiritual successor to Titan quest rather than Diablo but it's still really good even if different. Also has a few fun mods.
Diablo 3 was my first but I wouldn't include say it's good. I'll give it an honorable mention for its great combat but everything else is lackluster. I'd put Poe in the same category now.
PoE's combat is pretty bad, the fun part of the game is making builds. The actual gameplay is just one-shotting things until you arbitrarily get one-shot by something else.
