Diablo has always been up there as one of the best RPG (action role-playing, hack 'n' slash) that graces the market and they really have brought their A Game with Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls - Ultimate Evil Edition. This game has been out for some time now and yet it keeps drawing me back for more and more. First of let's just say, it's not because of the story. Infact I haven't played the story again since I first completed the game, there's just nothing more to the story than what you get from it initially. What you do get from this game though (and thank God) is constant updates filled with new content.
This keeps the game feeling incredibly fresh throughout with myself still finding new things over a year on. The updates are always introducing new features or dungeon areas, with one of my favourite updates being Kanai's Cube. This cube allows you to do many things, but the best is the ability to extract powers from Legendary Items and equip them to your player, giving some amazing abilities. As shown in the video below, one of my equipped powers allows me to cast one Mana consuming ability, for it to auto-cast another without any Mana being consumed.
That all being said, the game can become extremely repetitive. Some missions you will get constantly once you unlock Adventure Mode which can become laborious, but once you do higher levels, it becomes a bit better as you get more Loot. However you can keep it a challenge by upping the difficulty levels which is the best way, or creating a new character to start fresh and unlock more abilities. Myself, I currently have a Witch Doctor along with my Wizard for this exact reason.
The game doesn't feature much in terms of customization for your Characters, you select a class and a gender, then it gives you a pre-built character. This doesn't detract much from the game, as your armor can be changed to look a bit different through transmutes or clothes dyes. However it does feel lacking if, like me, you enjoy creating your own character from scratch to really make it your own adventure.
If you play games online, this is definitely one to do just that on to as it increases the challenge, but also increases the rewards. Teaming with up to an additional three people, you can become an incredible force against the hordes, but it becomes hard if you all have the same class as the choice is limited.
With all this in mind, this game is still drawing me back to this day, with the new content and the simple pleasure of being able to run through hordes of enemies and slaying them with ease if I so wish, or with a slight challenge if I up the difficulty quite high. Do I recommend this game? Definitely. You can pick it up quite cheap now at CEX and Game, and with myself getting over a Year of gameplay out of it (and I expect much more) I can't see why anyone should be without this game.
Pros:
- New features added constantly
- Lots of playtime
- Challenges feel rewarding
Cons:
- Repetitiveness
- Lack of character customization
Overall: 8/10
