Diablo-esque games list....

Sorta. It's being called "Neverwinter". And if you haven't seen it, take a look at the upcoming Daggerdale.

Sounds like it may be a hack and slash.

D&D is seriously the best.

Yep. I don't fall head over for any of the pc titles (dont flame me) but the tabletop is great.

Speaking of that, it should be interesting how the 4th Edition translates into a pc game.

Torchlight. Unfortunately it has no multiplayer part. Torchlight 2 will come out soon (in July i think) which does have multiplayer. And they are working on a free2play MMO version of Torchlight. So, there will be quite a lot coming towards the hack'n'slay friends this year :)

You could add to SCI-FI Face of Mankind.
Its a player driven game, pretty free to do what you want in that game, chosing from 8 factions and there are no npcs ^^

Mythos wasnt my cup of team.. too WoW ish meh!
Titan Quest is master after Diablo series ^^

DeathSpank
is good, but its sort of a parody or hack n slash, but its still plenty fun
just don't expect realism or gore

for example, one of the quests is to smack the crap out of monsters

literally

you get a special hammer and when you kill the monsters with it, you knock the crap out of them, collect the crap and take it back the to NPC

it is a really fun game

I agree. I own Deathspank and Deathspank: ToV and both are very fun and entertaining.

i hope the following diablo clones like grim dawn,poe will be better as the original;)

Aside from being an ARPG NoX is pretty much different in every way (amazing game and had even better MP =( still miss it)

Nox ftw!

Nice game I found today - Din's Curse. Diablo-clone, weak graphics, but quite refreshing)
