If you want a modern incarnation, Path of Exile is basically a homage to Diablo 2 with it's own universe and story but same complex and enjoyable mechanics.

I would hate being a newbie in PoE now a days. The game has gotten so bloated and ridiculously complex that it would take months to sort of grasp all the different league mechanics.
I honestly can't wait for Diablo 4 as a PoE veteran since beta, I just don't agree with most of the recent design decisions. Lack of visual clarity, mechanical clunkiness with movement skills, rng on rng on rng mechanics (just progressing through maps can be incredibly frustrating if you're on a dry spell and can't even get maps to drop).
It's almost as if the devs are intentionally creating frustrating mechanics, in a game...
