Any recommendations for "pure" dungeon crawlers? Any recommendations for "pure" dungeon crawlers?
Recommendation request

This might be a bit of a dumb question that I'm not entirely sure fits with this sub, but does anyone have any recommendations for good "pure" dungeon crawlers, modern or not? By pure I mean that you spend 95+% of your time in a dungeon or something similar to a dungeon.

There is this game series I love called Fate that I spent 100s of hours as a kid playing. In the games you spend 99% of your time grinding floors in a dungeon, and there is no real story outside of a basic set-up of where you are and why you are there.

I've been trying to find games that fill the same niche for a while now, Diablo 3 was pretty close but the story felt like it took up way to much of the 25 - 30 hours I played before taking a break. Grim Dawn is another game I've been meaning to play since it seems like it will be closer to what I am looking for.

Recently I've also been playing a lot of MMOs, but Black Desert is the only one that kind of scratches the same itch that Fate did, with the main problem being that progression past a certain gear score takes absolutely forever.

Edit: I forgot to say I'm on PC and PS5
