I thought Diablo 4 had already evolved into a great action RPG, but its latest season just made it even better

My sorceress isn't even halfway to Diablo 4's max level and she's frying rooms full of monsters with lightning like I was playing an endgame build. After a hugely successful season 4, Blizzard didn't need to reinvent the mucus-slick wheel, but Diablo 4 season 5 frontloads the fun with the most exciting loot drops I've seen in the action RPG, period.

Almost every single unique item in the game has been supercharged to turn your little demon slayer into a god, way more than normal legendary loot ever could. Their powerful effects, like causing your fireballs to bounce off the ground, are largely untouched, but their stats have been boosted to ludicrous levels. Previous seasons wouldn't dare give you an item that duplicates your chain lightning—that would be something to look forward to at level 100. In season 5, I put on a special pair of pants at level 30, became Storm, and haven't taken them off since.
