bler144: Having replayed both D1 and D2 (singleplayer) in the last year, I will also add that I enjoyed D1 way more, despite its flaws.
I love me D1. D1 is better for a playthrough or two. It's got tighter play, hits harder, and better ambiance. D2 "plays more" though with more classes and significant distinction between them.
Grim Dawn sort of has the "chunkiness" of D1 (not quite as lethal, though), with the variety of... more than any other.
