Similar top down isometric play style.

If you want something to play short term then move on to something else, Diablo is probably way forward, remembering that you will reset on each char / season update back to 0.

If you want something you can work at week in week out like a typical RPG over a long period, Lost Ark is the better fit.

If you like top down isometric games in general, Why not both? LA is free (you dont need to swipe, some will say you do, you dont...)

Diablo is paid for (about £45) , if you start LA with just 1 char moving onto a 2nd, depending on your personal circumstances with time itself, you would most likely have time to enjoy both!

really nothing redeeemable about diablo, its just you repeating the same content over and over. atleast in lost ark you see updates, events, and new areas
Let's get real—Diablo 4's been out for only six months, and we're already cycling through seasons with fresh weekly patches. And Lost Ark? Calling the release of four-year-old content 'new' is a stretch. It's repackaged nostalgia, not innovation. Claiming these are updates and events is like praising WoW Classic for 'new' content every time they retrace steps laid out two decades ago. You’re celebrating a game that’s essentially hitting the replay button on a track that’s been overplayed. It’s high time we stop confusing déjà vu for progress.

Imagine some people think LA releases too much content while it actually doesnt offer much at all. the grind to get there is just insane

"I need to gain 20 itemlevels in 4 months for the next raid? please slow down, its too much content"

Now i dislike Blizzard, and i think diablo doesnt have much on PoE, but its still so funny to me how these people bash D4 while they are participating in this grindfest in lost ark which actually doesnt offer much content itself

Truly a special breed with no self reflection skills

It’s a bit comical when you think about it. Some folks are so deep into the grind of Lost Ark, they can't see the forest for the trees. They hurl the 'grind' accusation at Diablo 4 like it’s a knockout punch, not realizing that it barely scratches the surface of what they’re neck-deep in themselves. It’s like complaining about a puddle when you’re standing in a swamp.

The grind is real in many games, but Lost Ark takes the cake right now. Pointing fingers at D4 doesn't make Lost Ark's problems disappear—it’s just a classic diversion tactic, something you'd expect in a playground, not from gamers who should understand the nuances of these mechanics.

While they're running in circles, convinced they're on the path to enlightenment, we're actually stepping back and seeing the entire picture. It's kind of entertaining to watch them sprint on their endless wheel, not realizing that they’re missing out on so much more. We’re not just here for a good time; we’re here with open eyes, recognizing the traps of the grind, while they’re blindly celebrating every spin of the wheel as progress.

Lets take J.'s comment!

"D4 just seems so boring yknow
like oh new season how about you level a new character up to get better gear and keep looping the same dungeons in hopes to get better gear just to run the same dungeons.
then a newer season comes out and its like oh gotta level another char just to do the same thing I did last season..."

Oh the irony..

This is the reason why LA community is the worst and why i still stick around

Hopefully op got an answer long before this thread went out of control
LA is good and bad
D4 is is good and bad

or if they both don't work out then there's some other games coming out on steam that might fit what you're looking for maybe who knows :D

We're locking this thread as it has devolved into non-productive argument. Thanks for your understanding.
