Check out Path of Exile 2 -- it's the spiritual successor to Diablo 2. And it's freemium
- dimitrios1 5y agoIt's a great game, but if you are concerned about Freedom in Hong Kong, Grinding Gear Games is owned by Tencent, so you are still sending money to support an authoritarian regime that is still finishing up their latest installment of ethnic cleansing and re-education camps.
- philliphaydon 5y agoI had no idea. Looks like I won’t be playing PoE 2. Thanks.
- Nuzzerino 5y agoThis is anecdotal but I have memories of people freely bashing the USA in POE chat rooms, while I got a warning for making comments about China.
- pteraspidomorph 5y agoSo is Funcom, Riot, Epic, Miniclip... They're harder to avoid than Nestle...
- LegitShady 5y agoNo they’re very easy to avoid. Just don’t play games by ten cent owned companies. There are a lot of companies out there and a lot of games - more than you or I could conceivably have time to play.
- sidlls 5y agoAnd almost none of them is any good. I like story heavy games and can tolerate some pretty bad art and graphics for a good story. Unfortunately most games these days seem to be terrible on both counts.
- res0nat0r 5y agoTencent has its fingers in lots of companies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent#Foreign_gaming_investments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent#Foreign_gaming_investm...
- aeoleonn 5y agoGood to know, thanks. Definitely do not want to support communism or the CCP.
- ggregoire 5y agoPath of Exile 2 is still in development, you probably meant Path of Exile? By the way, they just released a new free expansion so it's a great time to check the game out. It's considered by many as the greatest ARPG.
- dylanz 5y agoI’d recommend Grim Dawn over PoE personally.
- aeoleonn 5y agoNice, thanks! It looks good!
- scrollaway 5y agoHades is a better Diablo than any of the Diablo games imo. I feel like it's the perfection of the mechanics that diablo's dungeon runs were supposed to be.
- podric 5y agoHades definitely has more interesting game mechanics, but it's more of a Roguelike ARPG than a classic ARPG. I also find its enemy design and atmosphere lacking in consistency and quality. It just doesn't have the dark, dangerous, and foreboding feel that Diablo 1 and 2 have mastered.
- SantalBlush 5y agoTotally agree. Both Hades and Diablo are great, but the gameplay and art are considerably different between the two.
- scrollaway 5y agoYes, i agree but then again i still feel it nailed down what the addictive parts of diablo were and put them into a far better game and context. That's why I maintain it's a better Diablo than any diablo or POE.
