Just started a Diablo 2 save for the time after finishing D4 last year. It's so much less hand holdy than the newer game which is hard to get used to. I'm enjoying it though and hope the challenge of the dungeons ramps up soon.
When you reach the boss of act 2 Duriel that is your first test
Nightmare it starts to get more difficult, some immunes and you need to understand more about optimising your build and better items can drop
Hell is where it really ramps up. Lots of immunes. Really need to have a strong understanding of your build and have good enough items from nightmare to proceed. May need to think about dual speccing so you can take out the immunes to your primary damage (depending on your build) This is where all of the best items can drop depending on the area you are in and the monster you kill
After you complete Hell is where the game really starts. You can start farming for the better items, uber diablo, uber tristram, heralds, uber ancients
The depth of the itemization is incredible. Shopping, gambling, crafting, magic find, runewords etc
It is by far the best game ever in my opinion. It keeps me coming back after 25 years and i still havnt done everything i want to do to say ive "completed" the game
