And anything that does bring a little originality into the video games arena is destined to be copied, over and over again. The latest deja vu session has been brought on by Victor Vran Overkill edition, developed by Haemimont Games."
What are the best games like Diablo? With Diablo 4 still a way off, we share some of the best alternatives currently available.
Lists Victor Vran but not even Grim Dawn. No wonder this did not get even one approval here in 13 hours.
Grim Dawn is amazing. A gorgeous game to boot.
This list is a joke.
Ah yes, Borderlands 3 and Destiny 2 always come to mind when I think of Diablo.
Like, just because it has loot, that doesn't mean it's like Diablo. And it's not exactly like Diablo created the mechanic of "loot" to begin with.
What I was hoping to get out of this was maybe a hidden gem I wasn't aware of. What I actually got was a small chuckle about how much of a bad take this article was.
It’s insane often I get disconnected on Diablo resurrected, I need to give these a shot
Marvel Heroes was incredible. Really wish it could be brought back. Warhammer: Chaosbane is pretty good
It and Diablo 2 are easily my favorites.
Might like Grim Dawn most, honestly; but I haven't played the remaster yet so.
The Shadows games are pretty good. The devs are cool guys too. I reviewed the original game way back when they sent me code. They've sent me every release since, even though they know I haven't wrote for a long time.
The only one I'm reluctant to try to this day is Path of Exile. I love these types of games, and consider myself a big fan of more complicated, in-depth games, but that skill tree and the mechanics behind the game's character building is f*****g intimidating.
Grim Dawn is a solid game all the way around. I can't wait to play the D2 remaster.
Yeah, I get that, but Path is a lot of fun. I am waiting for Path 2. I've kind of played out the existing characters. Resistances are key or at least when I played it.
I'll have to check out the Shadows games. Thanks for the heads up.
Victor Vran is now available to download through Games with Gold on Xbox One.

Whilst last month’s titles didn’t manage to rouse the biggest appreciation from everyone, there were still some hidden gems included that made for some classic additions to our gaming collections. With September all wrapped up and October upon us, it’s time to look into this month’s selection of free Games With Gold titles and see just how good or bad they are."
Overcooked is probably the best couch co-op game of the generation, along with its sequel... so it's an alright month in my book.
Stuntman was alright from what I remember but it’s 360 game same with hitman but looks pretty average month to me.
Sounds like it may well be worth a look in after all, was thinking this would be a dull affair, but it seems I was wrong
