One sees the phrase 'Diablo clone' each time games of this type are announced, and they always end up being compared with what Diablo accomplished ten years ago. I believe, however, that the use of the phrase is a little misguided, especially when the majority of releases being labelled clones are simply role-playing games that fall in the sub-genre of hack and slash. Building on, or borrowing successful ideas pioneered by Diablo, doesn't mean that the developers are trying to replicate the game. Runic on the other hand have actually tried to do just that, and I while I don't know what everyone's expectations are concerning twenty dollar digitally distributed games, I certainly did not expect one which actually deserves being called a 'Diablo clone'."

Following the official release of the RTX Remix runtime, modders have renewed their efforts to remaster classic PC games like Torchlight.

It’s time to announce the July Games with Gold lineup! On the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, capture photos of the wondrous Beasts of Maravilla Island, and survive being stranded on a desolate moon base in Relicta. And for our classic lineup via Backward Compatibility, build and ride rollercoasters in Thrillville: Off the Rails, […]
Yawn.... I will say torchlight is fun, but i have that on my steamdeck. Relicta is also on PS+ Extra and looks like it would make a cool VR game. No PSVR support though.
Why continues reporting this? Who is left that is still interested in Games with Gold?
This is beyond bad... kinda shitty move to force all their subscribers to get gamepass.

From Xfire: "The words "dungeon crawler" are defined as a genre of role-playing games wherein "heroes navigate a labyrinth environment, battling various monsters, avoiding traps, solving puzzles, and looting any treasure they may find."
Now, if you, just like every other gamer, thought immediately of any of the Diablo games when you read that, you're probably not alone.
The thing is, the Diablo franchise has been synonymous with dungeon crawlers since 1997. But while the Diablo titles have long been considered the most popular dungeon crawlers, they're far from the only ones that are worth playing."
