Steampunk Diablo III
Well Steampunk Diablo III is a bit a undersell. Crate took an already excellent ARPG base (Titan Quest), added a heavy dosage of Lovecraft and steampunk, and VOILA. You get Grim Dawn. The character customization is quite good, while not as complex as say Path of Exile. Combat feels weighty, with some over the top physics yeeting when some enemies are killed. (I find it quite comical myself.) The dual class system, like in Titan Quest, is very good and quite flexible. The Devotion passive tree is an excellent addition to add a little bit more character customization to your builds. Want a Necromancer that wields dual pistols that shoot fire? You can probably try that. Want a magic user who also can tank damage and uses magic infused melee attacks. You can try that. The setting, enemies, graphics are very well done for its time frame of release, and hold up well. I love the dark, Lovecraft inspired steampunk setting. The expansions provide even more classes and masteries so you can add even more build combos then ever. If you get tired of the somewhat overly complicated passive skill tree of POE, or some of the sluggish movement of Diablo II, or even some of the absolute baffling decisions of Diablo III. Give Grim Dawn a chance, you may actually enjoy it...
