    The Burger King of ARPGs compared to Path of Exile's fine dining experience.

    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.

    Still, I've been returning to this for a few days every season and I have a blast each time.

While the game isn't perfect or in any shape or form lives up to the legends of D1 or D2, it created its own little niche, which was enough for you to jump back into the game, once every year or so. The game was fun up till a certain point (usually full load out), but then once you hit that point, all the fun died immediately. Also, leveling is really boring if you don't do it the first week of a season - Because you'll be doing it alone, all the way to level 70 zzzz.… Expand

    It's easiest diablo game if you play just campaign. Its so funny and not easy game if you play high level greater rifts.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All right expansion, mostly worth it for the extra character.

    Diablo III – Reaper of Souls is an expansion for the main game and features a new map/area to go to, as well as a new campaign and an extra character, the Necromancer. It follows the exact same principle as Diablo II – Lord of Destruction.

    I always found it funny that, in Diablo II and Diablo III, you slay Diablo, evil itself, the Prime overlord of hell and after that, the campaign goes on casually and you need to defeat the “true end boss” of the game because of the expansion. Nevertheless, both expansions worked out fine.

    Diablo III – Reaper of Souls is worth it, mainly for the Necromancer character. Although the Necromancer feels very overpowered in the beginning, it gets balanced out with the other characters later in the game. His mechanics, attacks and skills are cool, and his animations and blueish glowing aura make the character complete.

    In terms of the rest, the newly added campaign (or to be more specific; act) is all right. It has a classic and cliché story about a rogue angel Malthael, who turned into the Angel of Death. This of course, means that he raises the dead and wants to conquer the world (or wipe it out, whatever).

    It is a fun little story with some new unique terrains and environments, some cool new enemies like the Rat men and the Boggits but also some cheap and recycled assets like “Revenant archers”, “Shield Barrers” and “Revenant Soldiers”. Those are recycled skeletons from the original game and feel lifeless (yeah, I know) and rushed and I didn’t get any satisfaction when wiping the floor with them. Mainly because there is nothing to wipe, because they just go up in smoke. The lore tries it best to put some life and connection into these new enemies, but for me, that failed miserably.

    The boss battle with Malthael was good and rewarding tough and he was hard as bricks. This fight redeemed some fun I had with the game.

    Overall, Diablo III – Reaper of Souls was not the worst expansion I have ever played, it was just not impressive of unique enough for me to care that much.    … Expand

    Una expansión que me gustó cuando lo jugué pero la historia es muy simple, Malthael es un villano para mí muy bien hecho pero su historia no es demasiado interesante.

    So going in with low expectations, and not really knowing much about the game was, thinking its gotta be ripe now atleast. 10 years of patches and fixes.!

    But..the game was absolutely horrible...? I had to turn up the difficulty several notches, going for the most difficult pretty quickly. Even then I was just standing and keeping my mouse button pressed on an enemy. Watching periodically how they turned into a chicken from my spells whilst being blocked by my "witch doctor" creeps as the enemies also were being hit by my frogs(?!) or bat-plasma thing(?!)... the health bar going into the millions. My follower dealing 400k in damage. More then me whatever i did. My units never died during the game. Going through every act fully explored. Allways 100% HP regardless (why even give them health bars if they cannot take damage?!). Me too most of the time. When i finally finished act 4. I realised there was another act.

    Immediately I uninstalled the game. Knowing I couldn't continue with such a misuse of my time any more, hoping I had finished the whole game. How can a big company that owns such a good franchise produce such a generic, totally time waste of a computer program (game?).

    Do not play. Its not worth it. Even if its free (like in my case). Maybe I don't get meaning/point of the game at all. Maybe somebody switch out the real game on blizzard servers? Could have watched the game play itself. I don't understand how the game could land positive criticism from established reviewers. I wished somebody would have paid me for playing through 4 acts. I built my perseverance and tolerance a lot. That's what i gained from playing.    … Expand

    6/10.

    Reaper of souls is fun. Act V is a lot closer to the Diablo universe than all of Diablo 3 combined. Less chatter from bosses, more creepiness. If you're expecting loot to be any better, you'll be let down. The development team basically slapped a couple special effects on a FEW legendaries. That's it. The issue is this - intervals where you get no loot. When you hit the loot    6/10.

    The issue is this - intervals where you get no loot. When you hit the loot level (70), you should be rewarded for hunting for loot. As you colect items that increase your power, the time should increase between upgrades. Instead, you get to 70 and are stuck in lower difficulties forever because magic find no longer exists on common items. You cannot increase your odds for finding loot that allows you to progress through the difficulties. You will get a legendary ever 2-3 hours because there is a loot timer. It truly is loot on rails. The problem is far greater in hardcore.

    That perfect item progression from previous Diablo games is still missing, but at least we have bounties and rifts...right? Ahem.

    Oh, and cinematics? None. Where did Blizzard quality go?    … Expand

    Diablo 3 is in my opinion the best game Blizzard has to offer. It is 0 Pay2Win, has allot of character, Paragon system and much more.

You can increase it but you have to do the season journey and with it the stupid SET PORTALS.

You can increase it but you have to do the season journey and with it the stupid SET PORTALS. I hate nothing more than these stupid HELL of SET PORTALS. This is the main reason for my low score. 2. Low stash. In Path of Exile you can just purchase some stash slots and that's all but not in Diablo 3. If you are an item messy then you will have a rlly hard time in this game. 3. By far not enough char slots. 3. Lag 4. Balancing, yes I hate the balancing in this game. They mostly increase the damage the character can do BUT not the defense. What's the point in dealing billions of damage when you die in 1 hit only. I've been playing the ninja Set for a looooong time just because this is the only Set which is tanky enough not to die just by being smiled at. I even have equiped so many gear which reduces the incomming dmg in % amount but still I get ONE SHOT. Guess the Ninja is the only set / class which is left to me.

    2021: Well Blizzard is still not able to balance classes / Sets. Some classes are much stronger, faster than others. It's just a joke that one class can flye through the maps and other is like a snail that is trying to move by itself. Why Blizzard is so bad in balancing stuff like that? Why are some classes so extremely slow?    … Expand

    This expansion like its base game does not exist. It exists only on Blizzard servers. Why does this publisher is allowed to take customers money without giving them the actual product?
    It gets a 0 because you can only download this game. I will update the review if they release the actual game like they have on consoles.

    I played a lot of vanilla D3 at launch (~100 hours) even though it was in a pretty rough state. The action is a lot of fun regardless. Reaper of Souls fixes the loot and gets rid of the auction house. At time of this review, patch 2.7 is out and I've done 4 or 5 seasons total during the course of the game.

    You can only trade with people who were there when loot dropped. And for some reason even on my rig, this game stutters a lot in multiplayer, and I'm taking a full point off for that. Apparently it has something to do with wizards and sound issues, but it's really obnoxious and the game used to run better.    … Expand

    Together with Torchlight 2 and Titan Quest one of the best ARPG I'm aware of. The single player always on DRM sucks. The game is a lot of fun as long as you haven't finished the campaign. The modes afterwards only last for a limited amount of time. New content would be welcome.

    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!
