    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'sI would like to start out by saying that after having logged about 200 hrs on ROS alone, I am still playing the game. 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.

    PS: IT'S NOT DIABLO 2, IT WILL NEVER BE DIABLO 2 SO SHUT UP ABOUT IT.    … Expand

    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.

    I love how people complain about difficulty, then complain about having a DLC sold as an expansion. Wasn't Lord of Destruction kinda the same thing? 2 new classes and one extra level. Same thing. 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), newI love how people complain about difficulty, then complain about having a DLC sold as an expansion.

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

    D3 is rather poor incomparison to D2:LoD... However, the year is 2020 and I find it ironic, that Diablo 3 is the best product on the battle net app. Everything else there is now crap.

    diablo 3 is a solid game.

    do bounties

    collect some of sort of key, to open portal to another dimension

    sounds cool ? yes

    feels more rewarding

    act 5 is freaking huge

    AI enemies are 10 times more smarter

    crazy mobs running around everywhere, in adventure mode.

    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!
