I've been looking forward to diving into Diablo 4 for a long time, but my excitement for the next instalment of Blizzard's popular ARPG has been far more muted than it should have been. Nobody likes change, and the news I'd been hearing about Diablo 4 over the last year or so made me feel uneasy: you can see other players out in the world? There will be open-world PvP? An overhauled skill system? No, thank you—just give me a prettier Diablo 3 and we'll be good. Thankfully, that's exactly what Blizzard seems to have done.
I've played during many of the Diablo 3 seasons for close to 9 years. I enjoyed the story when I first played through the campaign, I love the combat, and most of all, I love mindlessly running through dungeons or rifts, vapourising the hordes of demons in my path while listening to the game's classical soundtrack.
