Yet I have to say this:
Diablo was more fun.
Diablo 2 is pretty great. My only complaints about it surround harder difficulties. Those of us with accessibility issues (like me with a gimped hand) found hell to be super challenging.
Diablo 3 sucked when it launched, however, right now, it is absolutely amazing. Blizzard has absolute gold with the tiered difficulty/rift/season design. Unsure why they didn't improve upon it...
Diablo 4 has potential, but many of the great systems developed in 1-3 are gone.
What made previous diablo games great:
A fixed level/difficulty system
Randomly generated levels
A way to measure yourself against both yourself and others.
Potential for multiple unique build paths for every class.
An awesome loot/gear system that eventually makes you feel overpowered until you aren't.
Diablo 4 has none of those.
Diablo 1-3 have some combination of those.
