D2= most replay value and ppl actually enjoy replaying it. It has the same dopamine effect as korean mmorpgs without the need to empty wallets and 0 FOMO from missing 'daily quests' .. until they introduced terror fomo zones. Still the best game of all time for its class.
CS2, league, and dota2 I consider pvp focused games. They hit different and your skill matters the most. That being said playing at elite tiers in these games is not fun at all.
There's a lot of single player 1 story playthrough games that are great but this is a different category. Japan is known for these games: RE4 and requiem, Tales of series(Vesperia and Abyss in particular ), fire emblem, final fantasy series etc.
tldr I cant name a game better or on par with diablo 2 in its category.
