Hack and slash action RPGs?

[Cryptic]

I liked grim dawn and played titan quest but can't find many others like them. Any recommendations?

Read the store page(s). There's a box of similar titles just for you to look at.

Since the Steam search seems to be broken, here are two recommendations: Titan Quest + Torchlight II.

Yup and it has a ton of games that aren't even close to being relevant because they're all AAA top sellers.

I listed titan quest in my original post but thank you!

I mean, I dont much care for it but Diablo 3 fits that bill.

I dont do business with Blizzard anymore so I couldnt say about D4, but I do know from a friend that you cannot zoom the camera in or out on D4.

Yeah blizzard isn't in my realm of thought anymore. Not since about 10 years ago. Mayyyybe Diablo 2 though. Old stuff is okay

Is that pretty good? Can it be played totally solo? Is it a ton of paywalls?

Yes. Yes. No.

Darksiders and Grim Dawn i found good value for money....

Path of Exile is good.. but i felt ripped off
with in game purchases for more storage room
and the build mechanics and skill upgrading
could be better...

I'll try it then. Thanks.

Path of Exile has the live-service-game issue that, over it's many seasons, they've balanced it more and more towards the 'elite' players & endgaming - if you don't build super-ultra-speedkill, most of it's 'events' & seasonal mechanics are terrible for you. But it's also f2p, so it's easy enough to try and enjoy the early game & story. (the main "nickel and dime" aspect of it is that they sell extra inventory tabs. . . and are constantly coming up with more stuff to fill your bank so that you feel like you need more&specialized tabs to hold them.)

Torchlight 2, yes. Torchlight 3, NO.

Wolcen is pretty mediocre. I'd suggest No.

Sacred 2 is huge, but pretty old style - it's slower paced and awkward, kind of like Diablo 2 or Titanquest. It's missing a bunch of QoL the genre has developed since then.
(Sacred 1 is even older & creakier. Sacred 3 is a travesty.)

Victor Vran and Van Helsing are pretty good. Victor Vran is more "action"-y than the others I've mentioned (it's the only one that I'd likely play with a controller, on my PC).

edit:
Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor - Martyr, is sci-fi. But it's a good bit more repetitive - instead of a big world map to explore, it's got an instanced-mission structure.
Warhammer Chaosbane. . . I know it exists, and is in this genre. But that's all. /shrug
And Last Epoch seems to be well reviewed - but it's still in Early Access, *and* seems to be selling 'supporter packs' and cash shop currency, even though it's not f2p. /shrug

Thank you for this reply. I will keep these in mind!

I mean, it's F2P. Most of the mtx is cosmetics. The rest are nice to haves but you could play the game without ever having to spend a dime.

I tried it out tonight and it seemed decent. I wasn't overly impressed. Nothing seems to come close to grim dawn tbh. I think the thing that got me most was the controls and the inventory is extremely limited and I'm not really someone who saves a bunch of items constantly so I could care less about the stash, but the inventory itself was very small and the controls while using a controller had a lot of issues and felt clunky.
