Here's a few:
Then there's Last Epoch and Path of Exile
Grim Dawn is probably your best match. PoE is also online only so screw em.
Torchlight 1 was an amazing game. Torchlight 2 was an okay game. Torchlight 3 is nothing like the previous two and is really awful.
Spent a good chunk of my childhood playing Sacred 1. It's aged very poorly, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone nowadays, but I still think that the world design and environmental storytelling were some of the best I've found in a videogame.
For example, at the beginning of the game, orcs are migrating from the desert and attacking human settlements. When you progress, you discover that they aren't doing it because they want to, but because the undead army is forcing them out of their land. And when you progress in the northern part of the world, there's a completely optional region inside the forest, where you can find a few hastily made orcish settlements - but you only find women and shamans, because the men are fighting at the front. There are no dialogues, quests, books or anything telling you that, it's just something that you infer from the environment.
It made exploring the world and finding its secrets fun, even if there wasn't always a reward.
(There were also a metric ton of easter eggs, from tombstones mentioning LotR characters to receiving sunglasses as a reward for chasing rude orc visitors from a tourist island... it was a wild game)
Yeah both Sacred games have their fair share of jank on you'll need to apply community patches and possibly mods to even make them work on todays systems. However what they do not lack is soul as both games are clearly made with love and feel very unique compared to many modern games.
If you can forgive the jank and don't mind to play older games with somewhat dated graphics I feel these games can still provide a lot of enjoyment. Would love to see remasters for these games or eveb a spiritual sequel.
Currently playing Sacred 2 with community patch, enchanted edition mod , more enemies mod and music mod and having a blast. The EE is tough as nails though and I am frequently getting my ass handed to my by elite enemies and bosses even on silver difficulty.
