    I'm really enjoying the game and the improvements that have been made. You can get your own upgrades in a reasonable time frame, items and new affixes help with diversity, rifts and bounties are very fun, and the new act/bosses were excellent!

I decided to give blizzard one more leap of faith and it totally paid off. Act V is huge is comparison to the other acts (I would say roughly 2/3 the size of the main game) and is arguably the best act in the game and has many great environments, bosses, and enemies to fight. The crusader is a great addition and really feels in the paladin type of roll that has been sorely missing and the class feels very weighty and powerful (plus I love the idea of vanquishing demons as a warrior of the light.) The dreadful auction house is gone and is replaced with loot 2.0 which has you actually finding good items that fit you and you find them regularly but at the same time not too often so they still feel special. In particular I was most impressed with adventure mode which sounded kinda dumb to me at first but it truly is a legitimate end game and makes you feel like your not being corralled from place to place like in the campaign. Another great part of adventure mode is that the objectives and randomized in each zone so it never feels rinse and repeat and then great loot drops in it as well on top of having random maps to complete for every 5 quests you complete in the adventure mode with even more promising loot. All of this creates a much better late game scenario for d3 that feels more open ended and rewarding for the player. They also completely threw out the old difficulty system that made the game a complete slog when leveling characters. Now you cant pick any difficulty at the beginning (there is alot more of them than before by the way) and the game auto tunes to your level. The higher the difficulty the higher the xp and loot/money which is how it always should have been. Clans are also added as well which should strengthen the community and allow you to meet and make bonds with people that play the game. Mystic artisan gets added as well which allows you to augment your gear as you please if you are have a decent item but need it tweaked or want it remodeled which is a huge plus for this kind of game. Honestly my only serious complaints are that the vanilla d3 classes feel like they didn't have a whole lot added to them despite the level cap being raised to 70 despite a few new skills and their new item sets. Story is also weak again with the typical bad guy has raised demons and you must kill him before he destroys humanity blah blah blah. Overall though those problems are simply not important the amount of things this expansion gets right ways those negatives out a million times over. As I said blizzard failed me once but I took a leap of faith with them and it totally paid off. I suggest you take that leap of faith as well.… Expand

The addition of adventure mode and rifts helps a lot, as it makes farming and leveling a lot more enjoyable, and you don't have to be bothered by the lackluster storyline anymore! Speaking of lackluster storylines, act V wasn't very memorable, so for that reason, I'll give it a 9 out of 10. However, when I was thinking about buying Reaper of Souls, I wasn't thinking about storylines.    … Expand

    Negative comments are not real because reaper of souls affects the original game deeply. Adventure mode and new Lot2.0 system are awesome and the game is nearly d2 but next expansion pack should come with pvp 2+ acts and more adventures :) New game directoris better than d3 org director so I really feel happy for new act 5. It is dark and sns.

    I do love the new loot system and how the AH is now closed. I feel like I actually earn my gear now compared to farming like the Chinese in order to buy gear.

    One thing that made me hate the original D3 was how almost all the levels were set without any randomization. Only a few levels did and that made the game very stale for me. With the new adventure mode feature. It uses all the random levels and changes the weather from day or night or new fog effects on places you wouldn't expect. So it feels more like diablo 2 and that's a good thing for me. It also gives you a neph portal which makes it really random with completely random weather effects and any type of monster you can think of. After killing a ton of demons, the Neph Guardian pops out and he has a decent loot table of assorted goodies.

    The new act 5 area was a nice touch, and the new merchant that can customize the look of your gear or change a stat was a very nice touch.

    - don't like how they didn't add new companion armor looks once you reached 70.
    - Should have added more stash space for all the new items you need to gather in order to craft new ones.
    - companions end story quests were really weak compared to all the hype they gave you during the first 4 acts with all the cool dialogue then a cheezy 4 min quest to sum it all up at the end in a small tiny zone.
    - very few new armor set looks added.

    Over all, if this was a $20.00 expansion then this would have been a 9.5 review.. but since it's 2/3 of a full retail game then I expect a lot more content.    … Expand

    The game is heading in the right direction, Still needs a "real" form of Player vs Player, the brawling system is terrible and was rushed in since blizzard promised Player vs Player at launch of Diablo 3, however I'd rather wait for a viable solution to that, I think the game NEEDS some form of trading/bartering system, similar to D2 minus all the item duping, I'm hoping the Bind to Account is just a temporary thing until they can create a viable trading system and form of Player vs Player.

    A vast improvement over the completely broken original release. Rarely any technical issues anymore and loot is much better thought out and the auction house mercifully removed. It's now restored to being a game that's about finding loot, rather than being a market simulator.

    Still not quite as good as diablo 2 was, but pretty damn close!

    Cons - .Price for an expansion is quite steep

    .Character depth - I just feel so much more can be done with the characters. Starting from the voice overs...especially the main character.

    Pros -
    .Visuals are very well done. Read reviews of people criticizing this area. wtf are you serious? These visuals are absolutely spot on and couldn't be better. Looks gorgeous and really pulls you into the world and lore.

    .Sound (score). Amazing and one of the best score's I've ever experienced in gaming. It really sets the mood quite well. Dramatic, moody, thrilling and exciting. Also the detail in the backdrop sound of fire/screaming/demons/chaos is perfect! Only downfall is the Voice overs could be better done. The main character's voice and overall cockiness annoys me.

    .Control - What you'd expect from blizzard....easy, fluent and functional. Man this game's controls run so smooooth!

    .Loot 2.0 - "not an improvement" Are you serious?! This is a major improvement! 80%+ of the loot I'm getting is relevant to my class! Awesome!

    . Auction house gone - Best decision they've made. Many would agree

    Overall I rate this experience an 8/10. Definitely a step-up from the base game with a lot to offer veterans and new comers. They've really done a great job with the atmosphere, scenery and sound/score. I just wish the character depth was there. I'm a lover of games such as dragon age, the witcher etc so I'm always looking for in depth character utilization accompanied by a well told and exciting story. For me, Diablo lacks here. Fortunately, the visuals and sounding still captivate me and draw me into the world.

    Is it fun? yes. Is it visuallly brilliant? yes. Do the controls work? yes.

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

    To proppery begin a review of Reaper of Souls, I must first make a short summary of my feelings towards the original Diablo 3. I thought it was terrible - the story made no sense, it was full of gameplay issues, the whole thing could be beat within 8 hours (streching it) and overall: it wasn't fun. It wasn't good. It wasn't the Diablo 3 I had waited 10 years for.
    Fast forward to a month    To proppery begin a review of Reaper of Souls, I must first make a short summary of my feelings towards the original Diablo 3. I thought it was terrible - the story made no sense, it was full of gameplay issues, the whole thing could be beat within 8 hours (streching it) and overall: it wasn't fun. It wasn't good. It wasn't the Diablo 3 I had waited 10 years for.
    Fast forward to a month ago, when patch 2.0 got me interested, so I installed the game again, and I was quite surprised to find myself enjoying it. I even came back for more. I gave it some thought, and when I took into consideration that the game director was changed, I thought I would give him the benefit of the doubt, and 40 bucks along with it, and get the upcoming expansion.
    Cometh the 21st of March, it was a stormy night, and I was up until 5 AM with my clanmates and friends, having an online launch-party for a expansion we, honestly, did not expect to be even half as good as it was.
    Reaper of Souls was the best thing Blizzard could have brought up to the table on such a short notice as almost two years. I am sure that with the now proven capabilities of the new director, there will be much more and much better to come.
    Graphically, what Reaper of Souls brought to the mix is amazing. It has a much more Diablo feel tha any of the previously visited locales. I fell in love with Westmarch from the moment I started Act 5. The only grudge I have with Reaper of Souls graphically, that the pre-designed tilesets that are made to be swapped randomly with every map generation are too chaotic at times, but this is a flaw I suppose we will see fixed.
    The Sound in this game is better than ever. Don't get me wrong - I like the Diablo 3 soundtrack, but I found that most of the tracks there are weak, I even used to pay with the music off. There were just around 3-4 tracks I liked, like the Main Theme and Tristram's theme. Reaper of Souls has a much better musical score - the compositions are much more classical and moody. Too bad the game didn't come with the OST, which I will most certainly get. The voice work, as typical for Blizzard, is indeed top-notch, though I did find some of the new lines for certain classess to be somehow not in character.
    Storywise, I think this is the best we are going to see of Diablo 3. Don't get me wrong - I know bad storytelling when I see it, but take a moment to remember how blatanlty stupid the original story was, and further more - take into account that it's a Diablo game and it does not need that much of a story. But I must give props to the team for thinking up additional story-lines, which are very interesting. Also, I have to mention that every character-class has his own little dilhema in the story - it's not the same for everyone, and it is very well thought out. I believe most major critics missed this, because if you noticed - they all have played with just one class, so I hope more people have noticed this. It's actually pretty damn awesome, though poorly executed. But again - it's a Diablo game.
    Gameplay is the core of this game, and with Reaper of Souls it is better than ever. The new loot system makes the game more fun and addictive, I find myself playing every day, even if it is just for a quick Bounty - the new Adventure mode that they have included is not only the perfect alternative for leveling, if you have grown tired of listening to Azmodan giving away his battle strategies (because, you know, master strategist!), but also very rewarding for loot-hunting and exploring. The only grudge I have is the class addition - it is only one, and not a good one in my opinion. Not only that I dislike him, but we must take into account that not everyone has the patience to level up such a tanky class. He isn't hard, he is just slow and boring. I don't think the Crusader is useless or doesnt fit in, but rather I think that Blizzard should have included two classess, so that everyone gets a shot at something new, not only paladin-wannabes.
    Overall... speaking as a man who hated Diablo 3 - a game that he was waiting for for years, a man who's favorite game used to be Diablo 2... I must say I got my Diablo 3. And I most certainly look forward to the next expansion. I don't think we'll be seeing PvP anytime soon, but they have also concluded the story-ark, so I'm actually quite enjoying the suspense. I have no idea what Blizzard's Diablo 3 team will come up with for the future, all I know is that I am much more trusting of them now.

    PS: I must admit that most people writing reviews here are talking nonesence. Act 5 is longer than the entirety of the other 4 acts (seriously, it takes about 7 hours (including side-quests) to beat the original 4 acts, and it took me 9 hours to beat Act 5, and I have not yet seen everything). I just wanted to mention this to everyone who is confused about people accusing Reaper of Souls of being a DLC - it's not - long new act, new class, new mode - it has nothing to do with DLC.    … Expand

They have done so, but by doing that they've pretty much thrown most of the things i so heavily worked for out of the window (i never bought stuff with cash).. i also don't like the fact that they're putting such a high price tag on expansions, while they give so little in return? But hey, if that doesn't bother you, then it's fine by all means right! As for now, I'm not convinced this is the right way to go with this franchise.

With the new implementation of the Adventure mode and the implementation of the new loot system that game just seemed so much... better! Now I actually have a chance to get all of the legendaries and sets rather than a chance to simply get one throughout my whole playtime :/...

    The TWO things that I don't like about this expansion are the fact that:
    1) It's way too expensive for the things it implements, however game changing those implementations are.
    2) There are no where near enough class-specific sets or legendaries that influence the player into changing up their build, although the ones that ARE present at least make an attempt.

    I have been playing Diablo 3 with the new ROS expansion non-stop since release and Act V, I admit is definitely the best act thus far, however short it may be.

    It took them two years, but after freeing themselves from the ridiculous Auction House, Blizzard finally delivers a game that has all the good things from Diablo 2, and a great crafting system that will keep us playing for a long time.

Reaper of souls fixes this by removing the auction house entirely and replacing it with 'loot 2.0' a system that understands what skill set your character is interested in and forces most of the loot to follow those constraints.

    2) Adds an adventure mode where you don't have to interact with the forced an unnaturally delivered story.

    3) The new portion of the story line is much better delivered than the older portions, to the extent that *gasp* you can miss some content if you don't talk to people - this is a good thing as the original game shoved your face into everything rather than let you discover anything.

    So I am happy with reaper of souls, largely because it takes an eraser to the lousier pieces of the original game.    … Expand

    I will try to offer a bit "neutral" review.

    Objectively speaking Diablo 3 launch was horrible event, if you managed to log in, then you probably sooner or later crashed, or you enjoyed lags and disconnects. Then very soon you realized you need to "play the AH". Which meant you spent more going through auction house, than actually playing. It was for some good source of temporary income.    I will try to offer a bit "neutral" review.

Then very soon you realized you need to "play the AH". Which meant you spent more going through auction house, than actually playing. It was for some good source of temporary income. And that destroyed game. Fast.

    Game itself wasnt exactly great, but bad either. Just very far from Diablo 2. Frankly Diablo 3 isnt "Diablo" game. Its just hack'n'slash in similar world with similar theme as Diablo games before. And thats pretty much it. Even tho its hard to deal with it, simply dont take Diablo 3 as true "Diablo" game and you will be much happier with it.

    Apart from major flaw which was Real Money Auction House (RMAH), then there was a random loot. Which was exactly as it says, random. That resulted in you almost never finding what you need and going to auction house to pray and be able to sell what you found so you could buy what you wanted/needed.

    Completely random drops were made cause they wanted RMAH profit (so they could profit on it, obviously). Well that is past.

    All this isnt past cause of Reaper of Souls, but due patch 2.0.1. They announced end of Auction Houses some time before that, so it was out-of-game already. That patch was important cause it introduced "smart loot", which means that instead of completely random gear you get mostly gear that is for your character. Sometimes I think its bit "too smart", but certainly much better than before.

    Since start of D3 most classes went thru pretty heavy redesign of skills and tweaking. After patch 2.0.1 game was very playable and suprisingly even enjoyable.

    Reaper of Souls

    It added one act, which if you just dont fly around content is rather big, with lots of side-line events. Plus it is even visually very nicely crafted (one wishes they re-made old content to match Act V). Some places look rather amazing. Plus its kinda "darker out there".

    It also added one class to play, Crusader mace wielding tank-like holy warrior. Its quite fun to play, but I think it needs a lot of tweaking (similar to what other characters received during patches), plus even some bug fixes. But, if they continue doing as good work as they did with patch 2.0.1, then Im not worrying about class future. Just right now its pretty unbalanced class.

    Apart from that every class recieved some active skill and passive ones. Which in some cases can change how you play your class. Most of them is at least interesting, tho not mandatory to use. Also you can now use 4 passives at level 70. Level cap was increased too.

    Then there is new loot, there are some new legendaries, some old legendaries re-designed or at least scaled up to higher level content. Some legendaries scale with you, so you can find legendary amulet at lvl 61 and same one with higher numbers at lvl 67. Some are lvl 70 only and some are Torment difficulty only. Difficulty was already changed and tweaked in patch 2.0.1 before RoS.

    If I have some "issues" with loot, its that all your old crafting materials are pretty much useless and same goes to your equip. There is quite big gap between level 60 and level 61+ equipment, unless you were already clothed in best legendaries of level 60 before RoS.

    So, you need to get new mats, mostly by taking apart gear you find and part by finding those materials. One of them is really important "Death's Breath". Problem with it is that its needed for almost everything and it really drops very rarely. I would say that given right now I play game at Torment 1, it drops really miserably. Apparently it scales with Torment difficulties, which at higher numbers are truly "torment".

    They also added new "crafting", which is pretty much what World of Warcraft players already know. Transmogrification and "enchanting" via "Mystic" character. Enchanting is simply random re-roll of one selected stat on anything. It also costs arm and leg. And its not very rewarding, but good at breaking your bank. Transmog is cheap and purely cosmetic option, which simply takes look of one item and for a price it gives it to your item (must be same kind of item tho).

    Then there is rather good adventure mode, where you can play freely (between acts with all waypoints activated) or you can make "bounties" which consist of killing bosses, mobs and when you get 5 of them, you are rewarded with "Horadric cache" with random loot. Also you are rewarded in progress with Blood shards which you can spend on some item gambling.

    Plus during hunting for bounties, you get keys to Nephalem Rifts, which is pretty much random dungeon consisting of few levels and there you kill enemies till boss spawns.

    And thats pretty much it.

    To sum it up, they added a LOT of content, good measure of fun and made Diablo 3 bit more like "true" Diablo. Its not perfect, but they "fixed it". So its fun, if you like such games.    … 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

    RoS adds Act 5 to the campaign and a new class, the Crusader. Act 5 is not very long, but feels dragged out because the size of the areas are massive. But these areas are filled with lots of extra events and the boss encounters are well designed. The Crusader is very fun to play and fans that missed the Paladin from D2 will be happy.

    RoS also adds a new game mode called Adventure mode, in this mode all acts are accessible and you can freely travel between them while doing random quests called bounties for loot and blood shards. Blood shards allow you to gamble on items from a new vendor for chances at legendaries. In this mode you can also open up randomized gauntlet type areas with a big boss at the end called Rifts which give you extra chances at loot and more blood shards.

    A new crafter, the Enchanter is also part of RoS. This new crafter allows you to change one mod on an item for a cost (depending on the item rarity and type, the cost can be very significant). But it allows you to salvage some items that would be a minor or zero upgrade and turn them into a major boost. This enchanter also allows you to change the appearance of your gear (similar to World of Warcraft's transmog feature), your characters will no longer look like mismatched clowns.

    Blizzard has promised more features like Ladder play are still coming, along with tweaks to adventure mode so things should improve even more in the future.

    But while Diablo 3 is actually fun now it's still an aRPG designed for a very casual audience, and RoS hasn't changed that. If you want deep character development you'll still need to look elsewhere, like Path of Exile.    … Expand

    Even though the price tag may turn you away, blizzard has done a great patch up job to try and save a completely failed franchise.

The new formulas introduced into RoS as well as a little earlier prior to release have fixed or in some way addressed most of the problems that vanilla Diablo 3 absolutely failed at and it all started with the announcement that the AH was finally being removed. Without the game being centred around the AH, loot progression in the game is pretty solid right now. Loot 2.0 gives you upgrades almost every 2 hours even after hitting the upper "soft" cap that most ARPGs have in terms of itemization, this makes farming worthwhile again! Since legendaries are account bound now there is no bot based spamming going on and even though most people dislike this feature it helps protect against the abuse that most trading systems get put through in any game that requires an online connection and there is no reason for most accounts to ever get hacked. Crafting is as addictive as ever and being able to reroll stats on items using the mystic is a great and fun addition. Monster killing is as fluid as ever and paragon stat points and the constant stream of small iterative upgrades doesnt get old anytime soon. Adventure mode allows you to continue hacking away endlessly through different acts without having to go through the shallow story parts.
    Character customization is still extremely lacking in the game with the same 6 - 7 skill /rune system, the skill system still doesnt allow for qwerky and fun skill builds like in D2 and doesnt require too much thought on different playstyles. Paragon stat points do however add a small layer/buffer on this problem but dont allow for too much variance.
    The Crusader class is again another solid addition and feels just like it should, an uber tanky Paladin (d2) like class that smashes through things in a lot of fun ways =).
    All in all RoS is not a disappointment, the price tag is still a little high but the game is worth it with all the new fixes/enhancements and will keep most old and new diablo fans busy for a good 100 - 200 hours (if you enjoy grinding loot and making your characters iteratively better), and this is coming from someone who absolutely hated every bit of what they did with Diablo 3 vanilla having played and loved Diablo 2 for so many years.
    If its a well built story and a long campaign you want absolutely stay away from this expansion. If you enjoy killing **** and slash/and a good itemization system, then definitely do consider giving RoS a shot.    … Expand

    Reaper of Souls brings about a hugely improved experience over Diablo 3.

    I'll be upfront with this review and say my score is honest, and as somebody who enjoyed over 200 hours of vanilla Diablo 3. I'll also say that I'm a glutton for quick, easy progress. I think that most everybody is, with the huge success of games like Cookie Clicker and other idle games. People want things    Reaper of Souls brings about a hugely improved experience over Diablo 3.

    I'll be upfront with this review and say my score is honest, and as somebody who enjoyed over 200 hours of vanilla Diablo 3. I'll also say that I'm a glutton for quick, easy progress. I think that most everybody is, with the huge success of games like Cookie Clicker and other idle games. People want things thrown at their faces, and they want initial results to be largely beneficial.

    Which brings us to a rather large problem with Diablo 3. Despite the fact that I love it and will still like play it for another 200 hours, improvement always will become exponentially more difficult and with fairly limited build diversity and item blandness, the game really doesn't have much progression. The only way for Blizzard to change this is to continually add new legendaries, add new interesting primary and secondary affixes to regular items, fix broken affixes that have little meaning, and introduce a recurring powercreep to keep players hooked. This is fundamentally flawed, but it is actually what would keep players playing.

    Adventure mode broke the old tedium and introduced an entirely new method of "farming": killing the easiest difficulty of monsters for the highest level of gear. Blizzard needs to fix this. If you can farm on the higher difficulties, it should always be a lot more rewarding than farming on the easiest difficulties. Loot on higher difficulties needs buffed.

    Another sad fact is that you can't trade those spare legendaries with friends who weren't there at the exact time you got the item. This frankly sucks and makes the loot problem described earlier more significant as non-improvement items are bound on account and are essentially junked when your friends could use them.

    There are lots of problems with the game, but because I feel the game is heading in an extreme positive direction and I already enjoy the game I'm giving it a 9.0 out of 10.

    In short, Reaper of Souls has made me a much happy D3 fan, and while it will never be a true D2 clone like many reviewers here desire, it has the chance of becoming so, so much more, if only Blizzard lets it.

    Pros:
    *Reworked loot system feels much more rewarding.
    *Adventure mode allows for less linear farming.
    *Patches are making the game more enjoyable constantly; Blizzard IS listening.

    Neutral:
    *AH / RMAH removed. It happened.

    Cons:
    *Itemization is crap and would require powercreep to maintain fun, but is getting better.
    *BoA hurts the loot system.
    *Many affixes still don't work in any meaningful way, some legendaries are broken and roll incorrect stats.    … Expand

    Diablo was a wonderfully designed masterpiece by Blizzard Entertainment. I would recommend this game to most, if not all of my friends as it gives a sense of fun and entertainment. Reaper of Souls has definitely added a whole new aspect of the game as well as potential development of the game's excellent plot.

    Worst game I have EVER PLAYED. It's nowhere close to Diablo 2. It has genes of World of Warcraft. Worst repetitive game ever, it bores me to death.
    It doesn't matter what content they deliver it's because of the game basic, how it works.

    -No complexity
    -Bad graphics: absolutely the worst graphics for ARPG
    -Bad story
    -Lack of content to do

    This game is amazing, I don't understand how people can sit here and give the game zeros WHEN they didn't even play it. Just seems like angry children throwing a tantrum.

    The loot system is so much better then d3 vanilla. Act V is amazing and adventure mode feels like a new game. Nephalem rifts bring something new each time.

    Long time D2 player here -- They did a great job with this expansion and the game finally feels like a Diablo game again. The addictive quality to the game is seemingly higher with this release. 10/10. If you like ARPGs or were an original Diablo 1 or 2 fan, this isn't a title to miss.

    This is what D3 should have been at launch. With the addition of Act 5, Paragon 2.0, Loot 2.0, Adventure Mode, Nephalim Rifts, and a host of other features, this is definitely worth the 40$ price tag.

I guess when looking at the 40$ pricepoint, it could seem a bit steep for a single act, however, length of story is not what Diablo is. Diablo 3 is all about the loot. 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. If you haven't already give this game another go. Night and day difference between the vanilla version.… Expand

    The expansion is far better than original D3, but it still lacks PvP and more rewards for challenges. I hope Blizzard will add them soon.
    The new content makes it worth playing.

    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

    A great ARPG which has fixed the flaws present in the original D3 release and to an extent, ones in D2. The only reason I did not give it a 10 was because of always online, average music and bah plot. Compared to Torchlights, other Diablo games, Path of Exile and few others, D3 is realistically the strongest.

Why bother posting an inaccurate review?

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!

Better combat dynamics, less one shot deaths, plot that doesn't make you cringe, new environs are amazing.

    But the game is about loot, and they finally seem to be getting the hang of it.

    Game is less about stacking trifecta now and more about combing key pieces in interesting ways, (and various new affixes) which in some ways circumvents the loot wall, since finding a piece leads to you completely changing your gear around it, which means you need to find pieces to support that. It can get pretty complex when you find yourself weighing the benefits of multiple pieces of gear. If only I could wear 26 pieces! My favorite item I've found are some bracers that restore my resource every time I pick up a health globe. Kind of game breaking, but in a good way.

    If you played the original, hated Inferno, hated the drop rates, and hated how dull the items were, it's probably worth checking out. I think you'll enjoy yourself. If your stance is "Blizzard North Skill pointz 8 player games" then still probably not for you.    … Expand

Sadly Vanilla despite problems was actually closer to Diablo in my eyes. I don't mind a fresh new idea but it has to work and embrace the series.

    - The expansion is short, you can easily complete it in around 2 hours.
    - The story wasn't memorable or very exciting.
    - For a full priced Blizzard game I would have like a proper cinematic ending.
    - Lack of innovation, LoD had the new rune system making socketing items interesting and exciting. D3 just gave us more stats.
    - Lack of difficulty, I'm not played up to 70 on my hardcore character yet but even on the Master difficulty seemed quite boring and easy, I found myself falling asleep when I wasn't tired. Didn't really ever feel challenging or exciting, more of the same trash mobs from Diablo 3 and not enough fun with the boss fights. I used to love fighting to get to Ball or Diablo to get epic rewards, this simply isn't the case.
    - New Bounty system helps with some of the staleness from the original but gets old quick.
    - Itemization and drops are a lot better than vanilla.
    - Paragon levels simply aren't as good as trying to level up to 99 with experience loss / difficulty that D2 had.

    But.....Where is the endgame? You get new items, get stronger...Only ones you can match your mettle is against monsters. Increasing difficulty means mobs will just trap you and unless you got resource to spam nukes you will die. It's simple as that. It's not challenging, it's luck based game mode.

    It took 2 years to develop "Expansion" that does not solve the main problem in the game. END GAME. Adding a plank zone with couple of trees, rocks and a lot of free space. Then slap a town in one side that work's as safe heaven. Then make open lobbies, where you can set up own games under categories like "PVP/Adventure farm". Allow 8 people to join into pvp games.

    Now you got end game, getting new upgrade means you can go find a top dog and beat the crap out of him. Collect hes ear in a special stash that can be seen by everyone inside the game. Then hes repair cost after each death will drop in the floor for you to collect.

    Blizzard launched this expansion to delay from the fact that there is no end game. Essentially reseting the game for us, and now they will bring new content that will reset all work we have done....Ladder's that will add "more" into the game, and couple of good for nothing additions to the gameplay that will not add depth into anything.

    When i started this review i gave score 7. When i think about Blizzard's strategy for this game (Buy the game, expansion when it's overpriced and then stop playing it after 1-2 weeks, cost effective i can say.) and how slowly they add content that should have been there in year 2012.

    Diablo 2 had: Pvp, farm items, experience that needed to be grinded out, hardcore where people who weren't careful did die to other people and they learned from it. So in the next character they were ready. Also had much more fun crafting. Better inventory structure and public games.

    Blizzard bought into Diablo 3 and Diablo 3 RoS next to nothing from past games, only silly story that revolves around massive number of cinematics between end boss. Also RoS added new thing called insane difficulty for last act bosses. My first character to hit 70 was hardcore Wizard. I almost died during exping in hard mode to the bosses since i was not prepared for them to slice most of my hp away. While all mobs, elite packs were piss easy.    … Expand

    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

    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.

    Overall Score: 9.25    … Expand

    Jay Wilsons Diablo 3 gets its first expansion. Does it fix the game? Hell, no.
    The new class (only 1) is mediocre.
    The rift system is boring
    The itemization is still crap
    But at least the AH is gone I guess..

    A big step in the right direction for the game. After a dissappointing initial launch the series became crippled with poor reception due to a game that was perceived as being fundamentally broken, and in many cases this was a fair criticism.

After a dissappointing initial launch the series became crippled with poor reception due to a game that was perceived as being fundamentally broken, and in many cases this was a fair criticism.

    The AH is now gone, and with this most gear has become bound to your character, only tradeable between party members, but at the same time, we've seen a huge re-vamp of how a player finds rewards. Simply put, finding your own gear finally works now, getting back to the essence of the genre.

    The Mystic adds some much needed wiggle room to play with unwanted stats, gems have been upgraded, and the Blacksmith abounds with new patterns, many of them legendary, for players to try their hand at crafting.

    The new Crusader class fills the void of a mid-range caster/battlemage archetype based around the traditional "Holy Warrior" trope. Personality wise the Crusader falls short, but fans of the overall archetype will probably enjoy playing one. It's a solid class, no doubts.

    Other classes have received a new skill, complete with new runes for it, and an extra passive slot along with new passives. Not bad, especially those skills belonging to the Demon Hunter and Wizard. The classic classes have also been tweaked numbers wise in many ways. Your mileage may vary.

    The Paragon system has been re-worked to a fantastic effect and is now account wide, allowing the player to allocate special points as they level up to certain stats like Movement Speed, Crit Chance, Attack Speed, Armor, etc. It's very cool, especially once you rack up enough Paragon levels to see significant results from your stat choices.

    Act V is the best act in the game without a doubt. It's still not high literature or anything, but it's a cut above the rest, and you can see that they took a lot of time and effort to create it. It's very cool and immersive. They held nothing back for it. Lore nerds celebrate, there are many tomes to be listened to!

    The Adventure Mode with the Bounties and Nephalem Rifts is fantastic and finally makes farming something players can do freely without being tethered to a story. Want to clear Keeps then port to Act 1 to clear Hollow? No problem. Want to do some mini-quests along the way? No problem. Want to open some Neph Rifts and just kill hordes of monsters in a huge dungeon, culminating in a boss like the Butcher, Cydaea, or Rakanoth? No problem. With the addition of the clans and communities feature, finding friends to do these things with has never been easier as well.

    Overall the expansion is solid, thought not revolutionary. What is most important is that Reaper fixes the core game, and sets it back on track. With ladders in the future, and whispers of a potential 3rd expansion, I think it's safe to say that Diablo 3 is well on its way to recovery and a re-gaining of respect.

    Definitely pick up Reaper of Souls if grinding your face off against hordes of demons sounds like your thing. It's worth the money.    … Expand

    A much needed improvement to Diablo III. The soundtrack/score & art style RoS uses really transports you into the world. The bounties and Nephalem rifts add much needed variety to D3.

    I would give this expansion a 9 but:
    1. This expansion isn't worth $40 (Maybe $25-$30)
    2. Kadala (Blood Shard Vendor) Legendary Drop rates need to be fixed
    3. The story has no real substance

They are completely random and while some are ok, many others are just an absolute pain...you get to where you enter the rift and just roll your eyes when you see the layout/mob density or lack there of. Bounties are my favorite, but are unfortunately at the moment, best and most effeiciently farmed on the easiest difficulty level, which is not a lot of fun. There is really just an overall lack of rewarding things to do, its basically rifts one after another after another or easy mode bounty runs.
    The Ugly.....Blackthornes...anyone whose played will know what I mean by this. No trading, 9/10 "legendaries" you get will be absolute junk. Drop rates would be fine if trading was allowed, but being that game is BOA and all self found, it needs a bump ina bad way. Clans are basically pointless. Communities are about the same. There is essentially no reason to ever interact socially with anyone in this game. And theres the coup de gras.....the new PS4 version will have trading, gifts to send, nemesis mode, basically all tyhe things the PC fans have been asking for, and they(pc gamers) are now getting a huge FU from Blizz for doing nothing more then being the first ones to buy and support D3:RoS.    … Expand

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.

    Diablo 3 is a victim of its own predecessors.

While Blizzard has lost some of its touch since the start of WoW, Diablo is one of its beloved franchise that created so many awesome memories from hardcore players and a gameplay enriched with so much depth, that it takes years to be able to experience all possible character builds and acquire every single legendary item, that its possible to expect Blizzard to go back to its roots and regain its once great reputation as a developer. However, Diablo III failed immensely from its itemization to its environments.

    Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, in a sense, corrected some of Diablo III's issues, the environments are darker, the story fits more in the Diablo universe and while the itemization got better with various patches implementing legendary gems and ancient items, its still not enough to remove its biggest flaw, RNG.

    There are too many RNG layers that it is not a guarantee for players to be able to obtain the items they need even after 500 hours of playtime, and this flaw was the biggest reason for me not to invest my time in it as much as I have back in previous Blizzard games.

    Here's an example:

    If I wanted to acquire a certain legendary items from previous Diablo games, all I have to do is to farm a specific boss for it to drop, its gets repetitive and tedious, but atleast I know that if a legendary item did indeed drop, most of the time, its the item I really wanted in the first place. In Diablo III, they removed these boring boss run and made it possible for any monsters to drop any kind of legendary items, while this is great in theory, the legendary item pool is so vast, that the chances of obtaining the item you're looking for is far worse than it was in previous Diablo games. And thats only one RNG layer to consider, if your item does indeed drop, the kinds of stats as well as its quality, is still based on RNG, which is frustrating nonetheless.

    Diablo III does get one thing right though, your character and their abilities looks and feels powerful. Monsters gets massacred and dismembered with no mercy, your characters will feel like a god. The problem is, after a long while, you will ask yourself, "What the point?"    … Expand

On PS4 version only story is same and with that not too good. Everything else is perfect in this game. Controls are made best possible, gameplay smooth, running without FPS problems.

    I've played through RoS on my wizard, and though I rated D3 quite low, this *is* an improvement. (I'd like to do 6.5, but to be generous, I'll go with 7)

    First, the removal of the real money auction house was great - that was a painful, awful, insulting, greedy, disastrous system, & the #1 reason I quit D3, & remember it without affection. (I had reached - whatever the final level was,    I've played through RoS on my wizard, and though I rated D3 quite low, this *is* an improvement. (I'd like to do 6.5, but to be generous, I'll go with 7)

    First, the removal of the real money auction house was great - that was a painful, awful, insulting, greedy, disastrous system, & the #1 reason I quit D3, & remember it without affection. (I had reached - whatever the final level was, & completely lost interest, since it was P2W in the extreme.) On the other hand, the inability to trade with friends & party members now is disappointing, and a *sane* auction house system might be welcome, albeit possibly too open to exploitation. On the basis of auction house removal alone, I have to give it a substantially higher score.

    The story/area is a little better than D3. Not a lot. A little. I played the wizard most, but also got a crusader to max, & found it strangely ill-suited to the game design. (WHY make it slower? What's the point? - I realize that's been removed, but when I was leveling mine, it was a real pain.) By the time the crusader class had been buffed up, I was too sick of her to bother. I liked the voice actors for both male & female - that was a plus.

    I found the nerfs/buffs a little - annoying. I was disappointed, again, that the classes most suited to moving, to kiting, such as wizard & DH, seem to be rewarded for standing still & shooting. I find that boring, and too dependent on gear. I'm sick of gear being #1 in Blizzard games, as well as an almost mandatory cookie cutter build. (I see that critics seem to love their games, but I'm not feeling it. "Simple & utterly gear dependent is just not working for me, & I'm a pretty casual gamer.)

    Rifts - a good idea, intensely boring to repeat. WAY too long, & your reward/boss comes too soon, in that there's not a lot of reason to continue with them, though legendaries are supposed to drop more often in Rifts. (I averaged maybe one worthless legendary an hour.) There should have been a major boss per level, or make Rifts shorter. I got more legendaries from blasting urns & crates than from bosses, which is a big problem for me. A boss *should* give more than an urn, but you are not rewarded for tackling harder fights. Just - from playing a lot, & that's a reason not to open D3.

    Enchanting was a nice touch, if it worked reasonably well. I realize they changed the option that allowed for, "Would you like vitality for your vitality, or perhaps... vitality?" But several times, I got lovely rare items that had terrible stats.(that couldn't be altered by enchanting) Obviously, you're supposed to play this game for a lot more hours than I'm willing to endure. I'm not helped enough by going up in Torment (I was generally comfortable at 3 & 4 on the wizard, and had a few *mixed* set pieces, with the rest legendary.) (I was about 250 Paragon Level - I ran it more than I should have, though I saw players saying you had to have 'at least' 300 hours to expect set gear. That's crazy, & no thanks.) I was deeply annoyed, also, that the set pieces aim you at one build. I despise the 'changed look' effects - Archon, the Akarat's champion thing on the crusader - and I had no intention of building that way just because a set told me I had to. Not at all flexible enough!

    Gems were stupidly expensive to make, remove (that has been lowered a bit) and generally not something rewarding. It's an attempt to make you play eternally, & I don't find them exciting enough to do that. (I had max level gems on my wizard - there's no way I'd bother with that on another character)

    That brings me to Kadala - whose idea was it to make a snarky NPC who insults you as she gives you lousy, utterly useless gear? She gives you about what you'd get from 2 bosses. Just - no.

    My score is probably higher than I'm feeling about D3:RoS now, but it is a jump up from plain D3, & unlike most games now, allows me to play with friends. (I wasn't interested in public games) I'm sick of mmos, & single player rpgs have a very limited play time. So that's - something.    … Expand

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

    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.

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

    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!
