I’ve played Diablo since the day the first one came out. I really loved D2, hated D3 at first until they fixed a whole bunch of things (looking at you real money AH) and have just completed the main campaign in D4.
I do miss my superspeed WW barb from D3, I mean just absolutely blitzing a dungeon in under 20 seconds was always a ton of fun, but I’ve really come to enjoy the world building and story of D4 a lot. The mechanics are definitely pretty different in some aspects but I find that being forced to slow down and just actually enjoy the world is pretty great.
Looking forward to capstones, whispers, etc. and getting further into it. Are there issues with it? Sure, of course there are, but I think that things can only go up from here!
I have never been a hard-core gamer and didn’t finish either D2 or even D3 — I did spend a lot of time with both of them, however, and thoroughly enjoyed my time with them.
I really like D4 so far, I have to say. Runs perfectly on my SteamDeck and it’s a lot of fun to play! If you look past the fact that you need an active Internet connection and the fact that there are (so far) purely cosmetic micro transactions, I think it’s a really fun and good game!
