    I held off writing this review until I had played all of the new content and let it sink in over time. True it is that what you get is one new Act, 10 more levels and one new character (Loot 2.0 is not a Reaper of Souls addition) but there is nothing to fault in what is provided. It is an exceptionally good add-on. You cannot fault it. Well worth it.

    This is what this game should have been from the very beginning. No auction house, actually useful drops and actually unique uniques. And tons of tweaks to the gameplay.

    Reaper of Souls is an awesome expansion by Blizzard, which is in no way a surprise to anyone who has followed the company ever. The story of RoS is lacking, but Diablo has never been about story for me, and this expansion made the dungeon crawling of Diablo 3 just that much better for me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Expansion Reaper of Souls brings a lot of system changes, that makes more sense, fix the core problems and gave the game order. Like itemization, loot 2.0, extended paragon, and new end-game Adventure mode. Also there is more content for players, like better and more legendaries, new skills and rebalanced old, new awesome class Crusader, very well done 5 akt and Adventure mod. Which is very fun and various. This all makes game more fun and customizable, there are more exiting builds, and zooming much more to satisfying item-hunting than vanila. That`s exactly what players want. This game have problems and will have the problems, but today, we are really somewhere else brothers and sisters.. Finally! I gave a 10, cause this Expansion brings good things to core mechanics and add very much and good content. There is no as rich as this.… Expand

    The hate for this expansion, though? Totally unfounded. I guess there are rabid anti-fanboys just as much as there are fanboys. Loot 2.0 and adventure mode have saved the entire title and turned it into something that's a lot of fun to play and given it loads of replay value. I keep thinking, "Ah, I'll take a break from D3 and play something else", only finding myself clicking the Battlenet icon half an hour later to go kill some monsters.

    People are saying Act V is a little short. It is, if you play straight through and don't do any of the side dungeons. There's certainly no mandatory endless Bloody Foothills battlefield, like in D2 Act V, but I personally found that area to be gratuitously long.

    The only real knock I have on this game over all is that the character building feels like it lacks something. While I always detested the D1 and D2 systems of just dumping endless stat points into one area or another and appreciate the effort Blizzard put in to trying to make that feel less mindless with the new Paragon system, it still feels like it's not enough and that every level 70 Crusader is going to wind up being basically the same.

    Overall, I would say this expansion is an 8/10, but I'm giving it a 10 because I feel like all the 0s are from people who are still seething from the original game and didn't give this one a chance. I think in the long run, this game will be one of the classics everyone comes back to in time, just like D2 was.    … Expand

    They whine about the prize tag but forget that LOD, the Diablo 2 expansion offered less and didn't change the game like this expansion changes D3.

    They overhauled Loot. They overhauled the difficulty system. They revamped crafting and made it enjoyable. They completely remade almost every skill and rune. They added elemental damage to runes. They added new mechanics such as pools of reflection and nephalem glory globe system. In the pre patch alone. And no, you can't look at the pre patch and the expansion separately, since the pre patch is a platform for the expansion.

    With the expansion you get:
    One huge and amazing act with its quests, music, everything.
    New awesome class with completely new skills and rune sets.
    New artisan - the Mystic, which is huge.
    Adventure mode - which is basically a whole new game that takes advantage of whole content of the game. The replayability with this mode is infinite.
    Whole bunch of awesome new legendaries and sets which will enable different build possibilities.

    There is only two ways to obtain powerful weapons and loot: Find it yourself or have it given to you by a co-op player. I can't stress how refreshing it feels to show off your exclusive gear.

I can't stress how refreshing it feels to show off your exclusive gear. It delivers a personal customization that adapts with your own style of play. In addition to customization, you may now change how your character looks, transmogrifying normal equipment to visually look like legendaries.

    The crusader is a unique addition to the Diablo roster. The crusader has more or less the same abilities as D2's Paladin, such as Blessed Hammer, Charge, Vigor, etc. The class uses a class-specific mace and a large crusader shield, but what really separates this class from the rest is the ability to wield 2H weapons and shields simultaneously, allowing the best combination of Offense and Defense.

    Chapter 5 offers a new villain, of course. I'd rather not spoil it, but the end ties the story up and offers more backstory to the class characters, followers, and supporting cast.

    The level raise to 70 has it's advantages. Previous classes each get 1 new powerful skill (Pirahnas), 1 additional passive slot, and 3 passive skills. The 1 additional passive slot itself gives even more build customization and certainly makes your character stronger or tougher.

    The new style of play is called Adventure Mode. There are no cutscenes, dialogue, and allows jumping to any waypoint of any chapter in no specific order. Bonus awards are given for completing random quests (called bounties) like slay this monster or boss or cleanse this treasure chest of evil. After gaining rift stones from bounties, you can access the rift door, which is filled with hordes of monsters, elites, and champions and one random boss. This mode is great for anyone wanting never ending destruction.

    I've only talked about the new big stuff this expansion is offering. The storyline of acts 1-4 didn't change, so I don't recommend expecting anything you haven't seen before from those acts, despite the subtle change like Diablo now 100% dropping a legendary every time the game is completed.

    And I can't determine how long I can play Diablo 3 since I'm devoting time to Dark Souls II and life, but I'm enjoying my sessions with Reaper of Souls.    … Expand

Now I revisited the game after years also thanks to my friends. And I have to say that the franchise turned to a perfect state for me. I replayed the story line. I played the game with 3 friends of mine as of Season 8. I may have clocked around 30-40 hours and I have to say that it was a pleasent ride. A summary:

    1) Gameplay: Excellent. The game is smooth. I can perform my combo and move around the map almost unihindered. The adjustable difficulty and related rewards make me push me to the limit - but still within the Diablo gameplay. Which means you are the demigod meant to crush the enemies - and die occasionally if you let your wards down.

    2) Multiplayer content: Excellent. We have leaderboards that are based on the season which has 3 months duration. If you want to perfect the build and spend hundreds of hours it is there. But you can also just come over once every three months to make the journey again, have maybe 20 hours of fun with new hero and new set and that is it.

    3) PC feel: Excellent. Now this is a pet peeve of mine. But the Diablo controls are really meant for the PC gaming. Lately with so many botched console spinoffs this really entered my list of to-watch things. If you have a good PC you will enjoy the game very much. This is the game meant for hardcore PC gamers, And I have to appreciate.

    Final Verdict: This is solid 8 game for everyone. For me as a long-time Diablo fun and PC enthusiast I added two points. Thank you Blizzard for reacting to criticism and fixing your game. Consider myself as one of the happy customer now. I am looking forward to Diablo IV.    … Expand

    I was also hesitant at first that you "only get a new act and class" to play for a full priced expansion. However, I was positively surprised that the content of Act V is as big as Acts I-III combined. There are A LOT of dungeons - the randomization is a big part of this expansion. I also have to mention that the new soundtrack and overall feel are just amazing! Sitting in the dark, fighting through hordes of monsters accompanied by this amazing dark soundtrack...I just love it.
    *The Crusader:
    A very nice new addition to the character pool of Diablo 3. He is a lot of fun to play and adds new diversity to the game. In addition with Loot 2.0 you do not get bored leveling this hero in the Diablo 3 base game.
    *New Game Modes:
    Enough to keep most people occupied for a long time while providing an additional layer of diversity to the game.
    I only have to criticize that there is not really an end game for "hardcore" fans yet. Keep in mind that Blizzard has a great reputation in supporting their games for a long time. Take patch 2.0 as an indicator the dedicated support of the dev team. As a fan of the series since Diablo 2 I can finally say that the game is what it should have been during the launch of the base game. If you like the base game do not hesitate to buy the expansion or even give it another try. If you think it is overpriced, wait a few weeks or months until the retail price drops and have fun with the patch 2.0 content :)    … Expand

    However, the removal of the auction house and the integration of loot 2.0 was a surprising and welcoming change. A few months after RoS had come out, I game the game another chance. Now, after quite a few updates, seasons, and more updates I can say this is a perfect casual ARPG. Perfect, 10/10. Why? Well..

    1. [Variety] From the unique effects of many legendaries and sets, to the endless combination of builds the game offers an extreme amount of replayabilityl especially with the introduction of the LoN set which gives bonus power for each legendary equipped. The LoN set allows any build of the player's creation to be significantly powerful. This set alone fixes build diversity, for the casual players. If you are compeitive there will always be a small subset of builds that perform best. But the majority of the player base is not competitive, so for the majority the diversity and variety is perfect.
    - [longevity] Seasons were added to keep the game fresh, and ancient items makes it even harder to perfect gear, but all the more satisfying. You will never have perfect gear and although your search for a late game upgrade may be in vain, the possibility of finding the perfect piece of gear will make the hunt feel good, always.
    -[hardcore mode] despite blizzard's tendency to give in to whining fans (WoW) Blizzard has kept hardcore mode true and has not ressurected any player's hardcore character no matter the reason (even famous streamers who suck up to them). Hardcore offers an entirely different experiences, with identical variety and even more rewarding feelings if you live to feel them. If you want to truly value your character, and truly experience risk, this game mode can provide endless entertainment, especially with friends. Being able to lose items makes them infinitely more precious.

    In conclusion, Diablo 3 RoS is a game that can be played forever and that can be played effectively in every possible way (thanks to LoN set). Diablo 3 was not in this condition, not even close. I truly believe the expansion has perfected the game. If you are a competitive player, you will most likely have gripes with many aspects of the game, but for people who want to just slay some demons and have fun, this is the perfect game.    … Expand

    That's all I wanted to say but there is a character minimum, so let's just say that my reasons for hating D3 are gone. I spend all of my time playing instead of shopping the auction house (it's gone now). Gone with it are the crossed eyes from staring at lines and lines of gear for sale; looking for a bargain. And there is no need for the AH now because the drops are much more likely to be for your class than before, the vast majority are usable. So far, they seem to be a lot more kind as well. I picked up a legendary sword and shield within 20 min of each other that were right at my level. That kind of thing just never used to happen, maybe you'd find a nice item for some other class, or something that would have been nice for you 5 levels ago. The difficulty tailors to your level now automatically, hell, inferno etc. are gone replaced by a scaling difficulty/exp optional slider. This should be a great feature for those like me that hated hitting the Inferno difficulty wall of needing to farm act 1 over and over to buy/sell/trade for the gear to survive act 2. The crusader is heaps of fun so far as well, he hits very hard for being so tanky and his variety of skills even at my current low level (22) makes for a nice selection of playstyle choices. You could go full tank, or go ranged, heal, disable, buff..up to you. So far, I'm loving it.

    (Probably because I'm not not farming for gear i don't need, in order to trade it at the auction house I'm sick of spending time at, in order to pass the part of the level I can't beat because I get 2-shot by a wasp after just having whooped the Butcher to beat act 1.)    … Expand

The loot 2.0 is an amazing addition to an already great game, in vanilla D3 I was one of the people who got most of their legendarys from the auction house, but now I have a sufficient amount of legendarys coupled with very good rare gear that plays to my character's strengths.

    The removal of the AH/RMAH is another reason that I love the expansion. I personally thought that with the RMAH made the game biased towards people who had money to drop on the game, and as someone who is just out of high school, that person is not me.

    I will admit that the vanilla game had some weak points to it. The difficulty levels is a great example, I am sure that most of us have tried to power level your Paragon Levels on Inferno 10 and it either took 10 minutes to kill one encounter or you died within 2 seconds of entering the area. The fact that in ROS that I can run the game on Master with a new character and be an appropriate level to kill the final boss of the Act without dying an obscene amount of times (I'm talking about you Belial) really appealed to me.

    What astonishes me about other reviews of this game is how they are based on a couple hours played at a friends house and not extensive play, so to those reviewers: actual beat the game from start to finish before whining about it and calling it a bad game.

    I am going to finish with this, to those of you who are going to think when they read this, that I'm just another fanboy who is constantly optimistic about how this game will get better, stop now because yes I am a fan of the Diablo series, I have beaten all three games with every character, but I like this game, it holds up to the Diablo legacy of being the King of Hack'n'Slash games. It was well worth the $40 and I will get hours more of enjoyment out of it.

    This expansion is worth every pence with the new addition of game modes and other new features blends into a perfect master piece. Ignore all the negativity from others they just don't get Diablo 3 well enough. As I conclude this has been one of the best experience I've ever had.

This expansion has brought a lot to the game, better customization, no AH (again for those complaining, I wasn't even a hardcore grinder and got back the money I payed for the game via AH), new gear, new game modes. I'm sorry but I don't miss the stamina system from D2, where I had to waste space for stamina potions, just so I can kinda run decently. Mostly everything in Diablo 3 is an improvement to the previous game. You complain about giving gold on AH, yet wasn't it possible to trade or just "drop items by mistake" in Diablo 2? Then you would just use your "backup" and you'd get your item back. Cheating on hardcore and everything else. Grinding on impossible immune to fire, frost,lightning,poison,physical elites in D2.
    Most of the people that complain, are hypocrites. If this game would have been released 1 year after Diablo 2, it would have been the best thing ever and nothing would compare to the high expectations of the next game. It's not perfect, but as a player of Diablo 1 and 2, this is the best in the series.    … Expand

Some gamers have no sense of responsibility and just want to rag on a decent game because of one or two mistakes. Disgusting. In this day and age people listen to those reviews and act accordingly. Why bother posting an inaccurate review?

    This game as it stands today is highly addicting, fast-paced, loot-gathering fun. The only thing I missed was not being able to assign attribute points, but I understand the reasoning behind taking it away. Thank god finally everyone gets their own loot drops!

I played for an hour last night and DUUUUUDE, this hero does some cataclysmic damage. Sweeping his weapon, obliterating everything in his path. When i say obliterating i MEAN OBLITERATING, sending demons flying off the screen. I'm not trying to sugarcoat this expansion. Just play the new class for 10 minutes and you'll be satisfied. Send your champion to act 5 and you'll be satisfied. Retrieve a new legendary from loot 2.0 and you'll be satisfied. If you haven't played the game since 2.0 or have yet to play reaper of souls and are still complaining about vanilla diablo and it's broken promises, get the expansion and put yourself at ease. These guys did a bangup job. Sure there are still things that need to be changed in my opinion like the BOA legendaries, but they've been listening to our gripes and complaints and they've done a complete overhaul on the game.

When the original Diablo 3 released, I was quite disappointed. The graphics were great, sure, and the game interest sustained for a long time. Eventually, however, I became frustrated with good gear that never dropped, constant reliance on an inflated auction house, limited difficultly levels and a campaign that became achingly repetitive quickly.

    Reaper of Souls fixes virtually every issue I had with the original and has me hooked and raring to go for many, many hours.

    1) Loot 2.0

    There are now dynamic drops with neat affixes and class appropriate stats. I get a new legendary every few hours and I feel like I am being rewarded for my time

    2) Adventure mode and rifts

    You can jump around acts and also do randomized dungeons, breaking all previous monotony

    3) Crusader class

    A beast new hero to play with many interesting abilities and a great look. Every time I swing my 2H flail I am happy I bought the game

    4) New artisan - the mystic

    You can reroll stats on your gear, even legendaries, to your heart's content

    5) Upgrading graphics

    There was a rebuild on the game and it looks better than ever

    6) GUI optimization

    The latest NVIDIA driver release, coupled with network optimization, means that even with four heroes on stage, unlimited mobs, and at 2560x1440 resolution, I can get a steady 60 fps all the time

    7) New Act V

    It is a bit short in terms of content for my taste, but, it looks great and there is so much to do. I am sure more content is on the way, but, honestly, I much prefer to just jump around in adventure mode!

    8) Clans

    I now have a group of all my good friends, we can see each other's games and group up quickly and enjoyably

    Things Blizzard didn't change or add: There were some ability tweaks, but there is not an open-ended system like in some other ARPGs like Path of Exile. If you like that, you will be disappointed. Personally, I am more simple-minded and find the choice in Diablo fine, but I understand the complaints. Also, the overall content hasn't changed much, although optimization has. With the new inferno levels though, and the new paragon system and points you earn (unlimited!!) for all your toons, I no longer feel constrained to not try new toons and jump around.

    Final Verdict: It's a brave new world in Diablo with no auction house, smart loot and finally clans to play with friends. I am having so much fun with my crusader. Many will have a bone to pick with Diablo 3, and, honestly, I don't blame them. That being said, I got probably 500-600 hours of gameplay out of the original Diablo 3, which at $60 came out to $0.10 an hour. If you just don't like Diablo 3 and can't find a way to enjoy or praise it no matter what Blizzard does, you will vote this game down.

    For everybody else, I STRONGLY suggest you come back and give things a try. No game is perfect, but I, objectively, believe this is a game I can now rate as a 10, versus the 6 or 7 I would have given the original Diablo. Hope to see you in game and good job Blizzard!    … Expand

With this expansion Blizzard has given us a way to enjoy every single act and crevise of this game over and over with the chance at that perfect item. In essence, D3 now has infinite replayability and Reaper of Souls has breathed new life into the game. My favorite feature is by far Adventure Mode., It allows you to see all that D3 has to offer over and over. In addition, you can take your spoils from quests to open up Nephalim Rifts. Plow through enemies in the rift and when you have killed enought a difficult boss known as the Rift Guardian appears. Kill him and have a chance at even more loot.

    Starting with the bad... The reason I give it a 9 instead of a 10 is the story and voice acting. The voice acting is either good, or it's awful. I've enjoyed the voice acting for the wizard a lot. It fits the character and protagonist role excellently. Deckard Cain, Leah, most of the demons/angels... far too cheesy for my tastes. I feel that the Diablo lore is actually quite good, as well as the core of the story. However, it's execution (pacing, dialogue, character development) that falls flat. I did enjoy hearing my follower talk every once in a while. The story could have used more wit and subtleties. And there is too much dialogue that repeats the same ideas, becoming tiresome. Many times I was able to predict the story far in advance simply because of the voice acting and dialogue (and I hate that). It seems to have been written at a 6th grade reading level (though this is understandable).

    That said, the gameplay is absolutely superb. Again, having not played Diablo 2 I cannot comment on the differences, but I feel like the difficulty is just perfect on Expert, which is the only difficulty I've played. There are many times where I've had to use quite a bit of strategy to defeat certain elites. At other times it is mindless hack-n-slash fun, and that dichotomy is what I find so endearing. I may be surrounded by hordes of monsters and one mouse click destroys them all, yet immediately preceding this I could be wiped out by a teleporting arcane orb slinging elite, and the fact that you can never be sure when they will show up requires you to be prepared, and even then you may have to use some strategy or you will die. But overall it is not a strategy game, and it was never meant to be.

    Weapons, armor, and skills can drastically change the play of the game. It's really fun to see what combinations/builds you can come up with that are most effective. This in itself, is a large part of the game. I can see how you could either hate this or love it, but I love it.

    The music throughout is good, but I have to say that the music in Act V is the best I've heard so far. So no complaints here. The sound effects are also very well done.

    The backgrounds and art style of the game is beautiful, yet I wish there were more pronounced effects, such as hard rains, and whooshing winds, trash blowing through streets, lights flickering, etc.

    So that's my 2 cents. I've had fun and I feel that I have gotten my money's worth. And this is from only playing as the wizard class, and I have yet to play with RoS only features like Adventure Mode and Rifts. What can I say, I suppose I'm easy to please compared to many other reviewers on here.    … Expand

    The start of a new season up to the point where you've got mostly ancient augmented gear is a 10/10 ARPG experience. Shame it goes by so quickly and then there's nothing interesting to work towards.

    Every aspect of the game has been improved, this is not the same game that was released in May. There is a darker feel and everything seems bigger and badder.

    After sinking 30 hours or so since RoS launched I think I can safely say Reaper of Souls was a huge step in the right direction for Diablo 3. At first glance one act, 10 more levels, 1 new skill per class(excluding runes) and 1 new class, along with a new game mode and some more items may not seem like its worth the 40$ but if you're thinking that I don't think you've played diablo enough.After sinking 30 hours or so since RoS launched I think I can safely say Reaper of Souls was a huge step in the right direction for Diablo 3. At first glance one act, 10 more levels, 1 new skill per class(excluding runes) and 1 new class, along with a new game mode and some more items may not seem like its worth the 40$ but if you're thinking that I don't think you've played diablo enough. This game has never been about getting through the final act on normal mode then thinking you've done enough. Nothing happens until you hit level 70 which isn't a tall task in itself taking probably only 10 hours maximum.

    Diablo has ALWAYS been about gear hunting; finding better gear and then finding even more gear to make your clear times/boss killings faster allowing you to try a higher difficulty. Before Reaper of Souls the best way to efficiently farm for gear was to reset your storyline quests and play through the entire thing all over again for the 100% chance of a legendary equip at the very end. Reaper of Souls introduces a new game mode; Adventure mode.

    Adventure mode takes away the running through each act at the games pace and allows you to go wherever you want and take on bounties for exp/gold/nephalem shards and blood shards. Blood shards can be used to purchase unidentified items that have a chance to be legendary, nephalem shards, once enough of them are collected allow you to enter a map filled with higher tier mobs which themselves have a higher than normal chance of legendaries. You also get horadric caches for finishing a set of bounties in an Act which itself has a chance to give legendary gear. All of these plus the previous resetting quests method still available is a large improvement on the previous method.

    The crusader class is a tank but to be honest like anything in Diablo you can really play it however you want, though playing it against the typical build type makes things more challenging (my crusader is pure crit chance/dmg screw tanking!) it's always doable. Along with crusader new skills were introduced to each other job which all have their uses.

    The 10 level increase at first glance also doesn't seem like a whole lot but if you dive deeper into what 10 levels really means to Diablo you'll find out there's a lot more behind it.

    The 10 levels gives access to a whole trove of new armor/weapon types and skins as well as legendary gear. The access to more gear means higher item levels which makes your character much stronger and able to access higher levels of difficulty. The difficulty options have been changed to accommodate the much higher damage on characters in their mid 60s to 70s so it won't be like you just hit 70 and are able to tackle Torment 6 (which is Diablos highest difficulty). It gives players who hit 60 and farmed gear to be able to access high levels of Torment difficulty a renewed reason to play the game because they have an advantage but not enough to allow them to stomp through the game.

    A new artisan (the mystic) was added too that allows people to transmogrify gear which allows them to make their gear look how they want and you can access more skins by finding legendary items. The mystic also has the ability to enchant gear which allows you to replace one property of gear which can turn a mediocre piece of gear into a fairly decent one (if you have the right materials to do it of course).

    Though the game does have some minor issues such as the difficulty scaling in the 60s takes a high spike around 63-64ish that most people are unaware of which can lead to a lot of unexpected deaths and frustration. The crusader class also is a jack of all trades but a master of none and could use some tweaking to make it a little better. The price tag is a little steep for some of the more causal players of Diablo but otherwise I think it's well worth it.

    Reaper of Souls is a huge improvement on Diablo 3 and since the games launch the dev team has really tried to make the game better and better and hopefully they continue to do so.    … Expand

    No. If you just play the campaign ACT V, then you don't even touch on the core gameplay yet. The game now has a good replay-ability and multiple goals to aim for in the late-game including paragon points, bounties, rifts, horadrim cache, gambling, much-better-crafting, enchanting, and the new legendary and set items. And the variations inside each of these are huge. If you call this amount of new content DLC, then you probably haven't played a lot of DLCs from the other companies.

    2 "The loot is still crap."

    No. The loot system is now rewarding and has a nice progression curve all the way from level 1 to 70 and to high paragon levels. If you play, you are very likely to progress your characters in a meaningful and rewarding way.

    3 "The loot affix is still boring."

    No. I know there is a highly-rated thread on BN calling that the loot affix is failed again. But that's not true. The new loot affixes give a huge amount of variations to choose from for your characters. The amount of combinations are in fact very diverse. It's totally not one-dimensional and it doesn't have this "optimal build" anymore that limits the diversity. If you feel this one-dimensional then you are probably really bad at coming up with builds and how they interact with the skills that you don't use. Then you should probably go work on your intelligence.

I gave it a 5/10 because the very core of the experience (kill monsters, grab loot) was undermined by a terrible item system and poorly implemented auction houses. Jay Wilson had no idea what he was doing, that was evident in his interviews for the game. So I dropped the game after losing my patience waiting for them to fix it and did not touch it for a year.

    Fast forward, I logged in 2 weeks ago to find a different game. nearly 80% of every classes abilities had been changed/nerfed and I found myself appreciating the more balanced approach to the classes (remember the Whirlwind Barb's? Ridiculously overpowered no more) and the effects it has on team gameplay. I also quickly noticed new and improved animations/spell effects for every class but I especially noticed how the Monk class has weapon animations that coincide with it's abilities. Took long enough lol.

    Reaper of Soul's:

    So, with Diablo 3 finally fixed, the auction houses removed and Loot 2.0 ensuring a rewarding experience I decided to pre-order RoS and am very happy I did. Here's some things I really enjoy about the expansion:

    - Crusader

    The Crusader isn't just a Pally as I originally worried it would be. The emphasis on holy magic extends to ranged combat and powerfully augmented defensive combat. It's a class effective at a variety of situations but a master of none so it's not overpowered. Many abilities require a shield to be equipped giving you many things to consider when trying out a new build. The Crusader will likely end up as my favorite class and I enjoy playing it very much.

    - Dark

    Wow they are not kidding when they said Act 5 would be darker than all 4 of the other acts. Act 5 actually makes me uncomfortable at times while I am playing it. The acts committed by the Angels are horrific in scale and execution. I won't say anymore because I don't want to spoil it for you guys but it's definitely a step up on the creepy and "oh sh*t' scale.

    - Design, Art and the rest:

    So with Diablo 3 finally becoming a complete game as of the newest patch, time was ripe for an expansion. RoS successfully add's to D3 in meaningful ways. It gives us a great new act to explore full of very artistic and creative monsters, locations and a much more interesting story than the original D3 had. New abilities, gear and a variety of other additions round out the package making D3 FINALLY the great game we have wanted since Beta. If you didn't like the original D3 and quickly gave up on it I urge you to check out the new patch and give it a try. Should you find yourself liking the game buying RoS is a no brainer.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [Condensed]

    Reaper of Souls isn’t the only reason that this expansion is pulled off as well- no, the rest of the success can easily be attributed to the changes in the loot system, paragons, and general refinement of class and ability skillsets. The best thing about the additional insight added by the paragon system is that even if you’ve met the cap for leveling with certain characters they can still evolve beyond that, similar almost to Skyrim’s legendary skills and perks system which resets things and adjusts them with the points you’ve earned as you wish. This does also really help as far as spotting legendary items and other rarities go- whereas you’d barely ever encounter them in the original game, in the expansion you’re more “lucky” and able to completely avoid former auction house woes and quick, impulsive cash-ins as well. Thank goodness for that.

    Several other core elements of the gameplay have been changed or redone as well. Crafting and cooking up special recipes- legendary or otherwise, have really been revamped as well. All in all, Reaper of Souls is the expansion we all didn’t know that we wanted, or needed, to get the game back and kicking again. Now, once everything is out on consoles, we’ll have a chance to see how it transcribes to there.

    Concept: New gameplay modes, new battles, and new, new ways to enjoy yourself in a demon and monster slaying romp through Hell and it’s outer corridors.

    Graphics: The overall looks remain the same but most areas looks fresh and even the recycled ones aren’t too much of a killer thing to look at.

    Sounds: All of the best, interesting soundwork from the core game makes a return here- whether you’re banging monstrous heads together or picking up a plethora of gold and loot lying around. It sounds good. It feels good. It is good.

    Playability: The controls are fairly easy to grasp and the menus easy to glean information from in order to scatter attribute points and assign upgrades as necessary.

    Entertainment: Oh yeah- it’s more good stuff. Enjoy it. Embrace it.

    Replay Value: High.

    RoS showed Diablo how it should be from the beginning. Really enjoyable and amazing. Now grinding and looting have sense. Rifts and bounties changed it a lot. It is yet really worth playing.

    Ignore the haters, this is a good expansion. Maybe a little pricy, but still worth it if you're serious about playing. Act V is meaty and reasonably long, with lots to explore and experience. The main villian is more interesting then Diablo ever was, has seemingly sound motives but zero empathy. The new class, the Crusader, is a little overpowered currently but feels fun to play.Ignore the haters, this is a good expansion.

Adventure mode is excellent, lots of pick up and play fun to be had, especially with friends. Improved gear drops and crafting is just brilliant, as is the new Enchanting system that lets you reroll stats on gear.

    Only downsides? Lack of 6-8 player mode, lack of proper PvP, and some random Elites are far more difficult then any of the Bosses (though not to the extremes of early D3 where some were literally unkillable).

    Oh and removing the Auction House, while not an expansion feature par say, was the best thing ever done. It makes finding loot fun again!    … Expand

    For the most part, Blizzard has finally delivered on the Diablo 3 game that much of the community has long desired to play. Many mistakes have been corrected in this new iteration of Diablo.

Many mistakes have been corrected in this new iteration of Diablo. Of particular note is the greatly enhanced 2.0 loot system and the removal of the auction house. After all this time, it's back to the Diablo roots of actually being able to kill for your own equipment.

    The new Act is atmospherically back to the doom and gloom we started this series with, which has been greatly appreciated by long term fans of the series. This is the dark Diablo we grew up with, where evil is actually evil and not some insanely stupid butterfly with magic powers.

    The crowning jewel on the entire expansion would have to be adventure mode. This expansion absolutely redeems Diablo back into the world of proper rogue-like games, with a completely randomized set of levels in the nephalem rifts. This change more than anything else has brought me back to the game with ravenous hunger for loots.

    Some of the changes are a little unwelcome, as trade has been significantly stifled entirely in this iteration, but when playing with friends it's still possible to swap legendary items within the same game, for a time anyway.

    Overall, this is much much closer to the Diablo 3 game I have wanted ever since the D3V launch.    … Expand

    Well, this game started out at a solid 0 back at release and has managed its way to work up to an 8 or 9 in my book.

They got rid of the Auction Houses and made gear more like WoW where you have to work for it and can't simply trade with randoms. Before, all you needed was money to get good but now you need time and skill. Luck is important too, but with blood shards you can gamble for the item slot you want, so I can get 1-2 of the item I'm looking for per week if I play a few hours a day. After 2-3 weeks, I usually end up with a Best in Slot version of that item. A lot of people don't have that sort of patience, but I enjoy the game and the time I've put in has given me tons of enjoyment.

    Also, with the addition of "Greater Rifts" and Leaderboard, it doesn't feel like you're pointlessly grinding for loot anymore. Now you can actually push yourself to higher grift levels and aim to make it to the top 1000 for your class. I recently beat a 37 grift which puts me at about #300 overall in the US for barbs. And the challenge of improving and beating the next level grift keeps me wanting to play more and look for better upgrades. And the legendary gems + hellfire amulet are more cool item additions if you get bored of (g)rifts. Lots to do, you just have to figure out the most efficient ways of doing them.

    So yea, if you're looking for an awesome RPG with TONS of sweet loot and lots of classes and builds to play with, look no further. Yes, there are some cookie-cutter builds that seem to perform the best for some classes, but every item is unique so everyone's going to have different variations of the build in the end. Also, some classes can be a lot more fun than others. I love my barb to death whereas DH seemed boring, so make sure you research the classes before investing in one!

    PS - The game doesn't really become enjoyable until max level. No one enjoys the plane ride, but it's usually worth the wait :)    … Expand

    At last! Diablo III became the game I was looking forward to. Reaper of Souls does more than just improve the original – it reinvents it and helps it reclaim the hack’n’slash throne. [05/2014, p.50]

    Heaps of new content provides hours of fun, even though the campaign could use a little extension. But if you’re a fan, this is a must. [Issue#241]

    Blizzard did the obvious: literally transformed Diablo 3 to what it should have been from the start. It took them some time, but finally Blizzard got the message and moved finally to the right direction. While we expect the next expansion, fans of action / rpg can now sleep peacefully ... the king is here!
