PS. Play Grim Dawn! Amazing ARPG with really good classes and customisations.
If you’d prefer something older and simpler, the same devs made Titan Quest.
My last run I did with a shaman and put everything I could into lightning damage. It needed a 2 handed weapon so I basically just wandered up to bosses and thumped on them until they died in showers of sparks, while the AoE from the lightning arcs killed everything else around me. Plus I had a summon or two to redirect some enemy attention.
Same except a lot of it works with guns. Boomstick go boom!
I love GD! Might be time for a reinstall.
What is ARPG?
Action Role-Playing Game
Basically a game focusing on levelling up your character to become your preferred version of killing machine, as opposed to maybe more of a diplomat or a rogue in what you would find in a typical Role-Playing Game (RPG)

Yes, Grim Dawn is fantastic, especially if you enjoyed Titan Quest and want more. HOWEVER I don’t believe that it’s from the same devs. Where did you hear this?
I can see that Crate Entertainment licensed the engine from the original Titan Quest team/publishers, but I see no evidence that this was developed by the same people as Titan Quest.
Following Iron Lore Entertainment’s failure to secure funding for its next project, former members of Iron Lore announced they had created a new company on February 18, 2008.
The first paragraph of their wiki page.
Thanks for pointing that out! I was looking for an original source, but the articles Wikipedia uses as sources are from a defunct journaling site. However, you can see at least one of the original articles through the wayback machine.
Crate was formed by former Titan Quest devs (can’t remember the name).
