Of the two, I would go with D3. I loved D2 when it came out and tried going back with D2 Resurrected, but it wasn’t the same. D3 is a fun game, but after playing D4 in beta and release, I don’t see me ever going back. POE 2 maybe.

Quite frankly I prefer D3. The graphics aren't as nice as D4 but it feels more polished. It is more streamlined and it's not open world but that's what Diablo is. It's a dungeon crawler.
The classes are better balanced and the builds are fun and unique.
It may be harder to find groups right now but I mostly played solo and had a blast.
It's sad how, at present, D4 is a step back from D3 in so many ways.
It has the possibility of getting to where D3 ended up and could be even better.
But for now, it's still kinda disappointing.
D2 has offline mode...extra good for hardcore characters
I did a ladder season playthrough of D3+expansion last year and had a blast, so i'd say it's worth it.
My vote is for D2, D3 to me just wasn't a standout Diablo game at all. That being said, I was a massive D2 junkie all through highschool so my opinion is very biased here. D2 resurrected gives you a nice polished version of one of the most memorable rpg from that decade. The has aged incredibly well.
Have you checked out Path of Exile? It's a great, free game that you can go incredibly far with for free. I really love that game for it's graphics, gameplay, and character building mechanics.
Yep, especially after the remaster of Diablo 2.
Diablo 2 is amazing. The remaster is fantastic, it does not feel like a 20 year old game.
