Diablo III

Strong character progression

Fast-paced hack-and-slash where you carve through demon hordes with one of several classes while chasing ever-better loot. Its real draw is the endgame loop of Greater Rifts, seasons and co-op play.

Path of Exile

Path of Exile 2

A brooding story about Lilith's return sets the stage, while the endgame keeps you chasing better loot in dungeons and seasons.

Salt and Sacrifice

A 2D soulslike where you play an Inquisitor hunting powerful mages across several regions and claiming their gear and abilities. Combat is demanding, builds are varied, and you can also play it cooperatively.

Last Epoch

Strong character progression
