A plus for Path Of Exile is that it is completely 100% free. Yes that's right. Unlike most free to play games that require money or implement a really bad pay to play or pay to win system EVERYTHING in PoE is completely free and avialable to you by playing.

The only things money can buy are cosmetic items, character slots and stash tabs. It would be a great recommendation since your friends will not have to pay for their own copies of whichever game you decide to buy. It's an ARPG like Torchlight 2 and it's one of the best out there and as mentioned before 100% FREE!

You're making me wonder why I ever stopped playing PoE. The community might see my return very soon.

Grim Dawn is pretty darn good.

[Horus-fr]

- 300+ hours of grim dawn :
it's the closest to classic diablo 2 you'll find, it looks the closest to, the loot is good you always drop useful stuff and in the ultimate difficulty legendaries drop often enough, the pacing is much slower than torchlight 2 "berzerker" builds and movement speed, you can't really avoid getting damage it's more centered around resistances and there's a lot of damage types in GD, story is the best I've played if behind D3 (can't beat blizzard), in coop with FRIENDS it's great, with random people forget it, it's not in and out like tl2...no other game does it that good ;)
I stopped playing it because I bought it in beta stage and skills were constantly modified which annoyed me after 2-3 build-breaking changes, but now that it's released should be great for you :)
loot is much better (good items easily) in GD than torchlight 2 or diablo 3 or marvel heroes
- 900+ of marvel heroes :
the heroes are fun at 1st but after you tested all the types the game will be very very repetitive and a grind hell it has the same system as d3 where you drop a good items that need 1mio other items to change it's stats because you dropped a crap version of a good item...awful
- almost 100hr of path of exile :
i just started, the 1st playthrough difficulty is very easy you can test skils how you want as most monsters will die in 1-2hits, the difficulty is not even the skill tree when you begin (you play bow go for bow bonuses, or dual wield etc..)
no the difficulty is to understand the item system and what to keep or "sell" because you drop thousands of items, most of them are useless and unlike tl2 its a f2p its not a game where you can advance leaving everything you dont need on the floor...f2p aka you need to "farm" money by trading items in town
I started writing a "total newbie" tutorial for path of exile..it's just things I wrote down here and there but may help you start if you want I'll upload it to steam
there are tons of guides out there for poe but not one is aimed at people with less than 100hrs in the game :/ typical steam beginner guide "when you are lv 90 have a pimped out hideout yu have to craft thios and that"...seriously ? beginner = lv1 i just installed the game...but apparently that's just me

There's Victor Vran...

[Pickle Bath]

A bunch of good ones here, but from a purely co-op point of view I think Victor Vran needs to be highlighted again. The combat really puts the "action" in ARPG, with plenty of fun levels, weapons, and challenges for a group. Seamless drop-in-and-out games like TL2 as well, which is nice compared to cludging together a Diablo 2 round or something.

They've already been suggested tho, but I'll remind you: Grim Dawn, Victor Vran, Van Helsing, Path of Exile, Gauntlet and so on and old school - Secrets of Grindea.
Also you could try Divinity Original sin, it is an RPG but it's turn based - walking around style, Pilars of Eternity.
There are plenty out there, have fun.

Sacred 2 is a game I enjoy. Its older and kinda buggy out of the box. You'd need to install the community patch (adds quests, loot, fixes bugs, adds stability, restores cut content) to make it perfect. The game itself is not being hosted anymore as the company went under some years ago but you can connect through a free program called Tunngle.

The game is a gigantic open world with oodles of loot. There's gotta be 300 monster types too and I don't mean black wolf vs grey wolf. Actually hand made monsters that have their own AI and attacks. Not only that but the world is so flippin detailed. The designer team must had taken like a year to just go through and hand place little props everywhere. Its older but still looks really nice! Oh and it does have a good bit of humor to it too.

Sacred 1 is also good but that's 2D isometric sprites. Its still a very good game but not really modern. Also you could not play that one with friends as its super buggy for LAN connections.

Torchlight (the first one). It only has single player, but the first few levels are worth playing. Some skills are fun to use.

Diablo 1 if you like playing one (maybe actually the first) ARPG of the genre. It's old, but it's still dark and very creepy.. It stays and will stay the darkest and scariest ARPG I have ever played in my life (yes, Diablo 1 proved that it's possible to be scared while playing a 2D game :-p)

Diablo 2 is a classical. It's perhaps this one who made the genre truly popular, and a lot of players refer to Diablo 2 as "good old times". It's a bit old, but it's still very fun to play. Oh, and people still play this game in multiplayer ;-) You just gotta get used to have half of your keyboard mapped to a skill (for some characters)

Diablo 2 - Median XL. Median XL is a mod for Diablo 2 (much like Synergies is a mod to Torchlight 2), but the changes are much much more drastic, to the point that it really feels like a completely different game. A lot more challenging than Diablo 2 for sure - the characters are more OP, but so are the monsters..

Diablo 3. Compared to its predecessors, Diablo 3 is much more forgiving and easy. It focuses more on the general feel of "slaying hordes of monsters" rather than spending time building your character. The only con is that the multiplayer has turned to complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, with powerleveling and Torment X farm everywhere, where the drop rate is so ridiculously high that each damn item that drops is a legendary.. There is no more emphasis on playing the story sadly :/ (I miss that so much)

Path of Exile - a bit less dynamic than the Diablo and Torchlight series, but the building possibilities are close to endless.. Which is the strongest point of the game. You have total freedom for your character, and while you might have some builds more efficient than others, from what I've read you can try a non sense build and still be able to go far. It's a lot focused on trading though - don't expect to be able to go far by yourself, you have to trade at some point (I didn't play it much myself - just reading at comments)

Titan Quest. Back in the days, with Sacred and Diablo 2 it was the kind of concurrent for ARPGs. A lot less dynamic than Diablo 2, but it introduced an original specialisation system for the skill tree. Which was later reintroduced by..

Grim Dawn - and this one is the hype of the moment I think. It has taken back the skill tree system of Titan Quest, but the pace is slightly faster. It's not as fast as Diablo 2 (no ARPG will ever be faster than Diablo 2.. It's just impossible), but I think the gameplay is very solid, challenging enough but not too hard to require you to farm for hours.

From what I remember, all these games (but Diablo 3) are all harder than Torchlight 2. So in any case expect some challenge :-)

I didn't comment the Sacred serie because I never really played it that much.. There's always something that detered me from playing them.

diablo 1-2 tbh
