So I’m a huge Diablo fan. Played 1-3 religiously (no pun intended). I had intended on getting the fourth when it came out but a couple people told me they were a little unhappy with the initial release.

I remember the same thing happened with D3 when it was released but after a few patches it really turned into a great game IMO.

I was just wondering how the current play was on the PS5? What’s everyone’s take on it currently?

    Honestly, if you’re a Diablo fan than you definitely should play it. I would say all elements of the game were improved upon comparing to previous installments. It has its issues, yes, but they’ve been mostly exaggerated by the fanbase and are mostly related to continuous end game activities. From all Diablos it has the best graphics (obviously), story, mechanics, end game etc.). It takes the best elements of previous games (the dark, bloody theme of 1., expanded world, more interesting story and skills tree from 2.), focus on skills builds, replayability and multiplayer from 3.). It’s issue is that it’s another installment in a beloved series so the expectations were a bit higher. So there’s technical improvement in every aspect, however comparing the experience/enjoyment at the time of playing, I would say Diablo 2 was better at the time. I’d say it’s on equal with Diablo 3 in that matter, hard to compare with D1. Overall I rate it 8/10 - definitely worth playing for an average player and must-play for a Diablo fan. Played so far with 3 characters, will come back to try others sometime later.

    It’s currently on sale.

        Not a bot, that’s my opinion of the game. Not sure why the downvotes.

        EDIT: oh, I see. Someone is asking about the game and it’s better to upvote opinions of people who haven’t played the game. to
