Diablo + Hellfire

Very old but also very, very good!

This title is slightly expensive given how old the game is but I do not think it is a bad value proposition. The game works fine in Windows 10, at least for me, and there are no glitches or graphical issues or any other "old game" issues. The graphics are not very good but you can still see what is going on. The framerate isn't super smooth but it is definitely playable. In terms of gameplay, this game was the forebear of modern action-RPGs and it is still practically unmatched in terms of atmosphere while also having a purity in its gameplay that modern games in this genre tend to lack. The game isn't specifically about loot grinding. You certainly can hunt for loot in this game but it is not the focus. Whether you get the best version of an item is completely secondary to whether you're playing with skill and finesse or just bumbling through the levels. The one and only real negative about this game is that it is indeed very old and therefore lacks modern QoL improvements. A lot of things are not explained properly, and a fair few other things take more effort than they really should. But on the whole, this game is immense, the atmosphere is intense, and having a version here on GOG that just works with no fuss whatsoever is fantastic. Despite reservations with Activision-Blizzard, I consider this a must-own title.
