Not everyone likes every genre of game - so here’s my grouped list:
The “I’m a nerd and like to build things and I like to watch lava lamps flow” Factorio
The “I enjoy tough but fair games that I can totally become OP in once I figure it out” Elden Ring
The “I just want to chill” game Stardew Valley
The “I like to build things” game minecraft Honorable mention-Terraria
The “Metroidvania” game Hollow Knight
The “Arpg” game Diablo 2 Honorable mention - PoE
The “I like action and smashing things in an open world” game Neir Automata Honorable mention - God of war (play one of the originals so you can 1st hate the remake, and then get to THAT point, and then happily eat crow and let Kratos be your baby daddy.
Last Epoch is everything I wanted Diablo 3 to be without being a bit too much for me like PoE can be. Highly recommend it.
I have it. I don’t know why, but it won’t sink its claws into me. It’s a great game but something isn’t clicking for me. Most people like it though from what I can tell.
I would say, if you're interested, the best way to see if it clicks is to give it's best system it's best chance. Which IMO is the skill spec. Find a class with a spell you like, give it a few points to transform and if it's not getting you by then it never will.
For me it's a perfect middle ground. More complex than Diablo but not as over the top as PoE. Not for everyone though, I totally respect that.
