Diablo 4 is a grindy MMORPG with some Diablo elements, so don't get your hopes up too much

All I've ever really wanted was a modern D2. I like what Beamdog have done with Neverwinter Nights 1, even though they focus more on the backend.

That game exists, and it's called Path of Exile. It is also the poster child for why most of D2 aged really, really, really poorly.

Another take on that same concept is called Last Epoch.

Double the price for minimal fixes? They didn't even bother including fixes for known issues which known workarounds available on the vault like e.g. HotU companions sometimes not using most of their abilites because the AI selects the mount ability as the best available one.

Really, these old games should just be released to the community to maintain them like iD used to do. And if someone like Beamdog wants to profit off such maintenance then they better be able to do so without taking the original down from sale because they know they can't actually compete with vanilla + community patches.

Grim Dawn is an excellent modern take on D2 formula. Single player, no MMORPG nonsense, no microtransactions.
