In the original Diablo, the characters are just regular townsfolk, with quests that seem somewhat reasonable if this sort of thing were to happen in the middle-ages. There's actually another major difference which I failed to consider, and it goes right along with the atmosphere: Realism of quests, characters, and the game world. Overall it makes for one hell of an action RPG. But with gameplay that's n-e-a-r-l-y as good as Diablo 3. It feels like a modern Diablo 2 with hints of Diablo 1 in places. And the music in Diablo 1 was also superbly dark and menacing, I can't remember any game which has had music quite like that before or since.īut I like Grim Dawn quite a bit, much more than Diablo 3, Path of Exile, Torchlight or Titan Quest. And no wonder, I mean Diablo 1 was 99,9% indoors in the catacombs. Grim Dawn gets pretty dark in places but it's not pitch black nearly everywhere like Diablo 1 was. Grim Dawn isn't quite that dark and brooding, it's more like Diablo 2. The gameplay is similar to the original, but everything else is gone. Diablo 3 just has nothing to me in the way of atmosphere. The music, the poetry.even the color palette was much darker and brooding.ĭiablo 2 still had great music, but the rest of it softened up substantially (though some was still there). I'm still waiting for the game that can recreate the atmosphere of Diablo 1.
