On battle.net the Diablo Prime Evil Collection is on sale for $20. I don't really want to spend $70 on Diablo IV so I am considering this instead. Are the older games still worth playing?

D2 is still fun! Not in the ways that D3 and D4 hit, imo, but for a slower, more measured taste of ARPG-style goodness, I think D2: Resurrected is actually really good. I played it a couple months ago and had a lot of fun (granted, I was a fan of D2 at release... I'm old.)

I play the remastered over this winter, first time playing D2 nearly 20 years... Maybe it's the nostalgia speaking, but I found, even today, it's exceptionally strong in the atmosphere department.

The lore was more threadbare than I remembered, and stamina is an annoying mechanic, but neither of those are all that large of a penalty. The atmosphere carries the story, and stamina basically ceases to matter after act 1 or 2.

I'd definitely echo your sentiment and say it's still fun.

It probably helps that I played it a lot around release, but I totally can still go back to D2 and have a good time today. I do find myself missing some of the more modern systems and QoL stuff, but 2/3/RoS/etc. for $20 sounds great.
