    One of the best games for new consoles. Maybe even the best one. [Nov 2014, p.58]

    Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition is a great translation of the core RPG dungeon crawler experience for consoles. While, of course, the PC edition reigns supreme, the PS4 and Xbox One versions aren't that far behind, especially when playing with friends cooperatively, either locally or online.

    Now, with the Ultimate Evil Edition on PS4 and Xbox One, Diablo 3 takes on its highest form, melding the successes of two years of patching with the positive side-effects of porting to current-gen consoles.

    The structure of the new adventure mode, overly easy leveling and accessibility of overpowered weapons have removed some of the sense of wonder and exploration from the game, but the Ultimate Evil edition is undoubtedly an improvement on Diablo III and earns a well deserved bump in score. Highly recommended.

    An incredibly stuffed version of the hack and slash action game with RPG elements presents itself in the best light for the new generation of consoles. Tons of content, well-made controls and superb co-op.

    With all the smart adjustments to the controls and inventory, Diablo III translates extremely well to the consoles. There's a lot to like about the expansive Ultimate Evil Edition and it easily ranks as one of the best titles available for Xbox One. Great work, Blizzard. [Sept 2014]

    With enough content to keep you occupied until doomsday and beyond, this truly is a must have. Throw a bunch of co-op friends into the mix and you even have a true masterpiece.

    There really is no other choice on current generation consoles that allows oneself to waste hours away on your own or with friends smashing enemies and powering up through shiny, sparkling loot and coming away after a session feeling so good about it.

    Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition comes with two years of improvements, the expansion Reaper of Souls and the promise of timely updates. Enough to justify a next-gen edition.

    It's just a shame that some newcomers won't appreciate what the early adopters went through to make the fantastic game it is today.

    Ultimate Evil Edition is the most complete version in stores. It brings all the improvements of last year console edition to PS4 and Xbox One, with the expansion Reaper of Souls and local multiplayer, and more.

    The simple concept together with its motivating hunt for the bigger and better loot is a perfect fit for consoles – especially since there seems to be a drought in terms of classic hack-&-slay like Dark Alliance.

    Blizzard's new game represents everything a hack'n'slash lover could desire: Diablo III's involving story, a charismatic villain like Malthael and lots of additions to the original game. If you never played Diablo III, you can't miss this.

    Long time players will easily get sucked back in to grinding for legendary loot, but the rest may well be mystified by the obsession. Still this is undoubtedly the version to get if you haven’t been sucked in before now and all the bells and whistles add to the overall appeal.

    Everything you'd hoped for from a collection like this. The console edition is just as addictive as the PC original and boasts a fun local co-op to boot. [Issue#245]

    Technically superior in every way to plain Diablo III and still as ruinous to your everyday life as ever before. The hearty challenge remains beyond the credits, making it definitely worth your time.

    The gameplay itself represents the peak of the isometric "Dungeon Crawl" genre, with an amazing variety of settings, masses of loot to collect and trade for, and smart RPG elements seamlessly crafted into the adventuring.

I think this game just plays so natural with a gamepad. The inventory system is not perfect, but I'm not sure what else they could do to improve it. The changes that came with the Ultimate Evil Edition just make the game more enjoyable. Each player gets their own loot. The apprentice mode, which allow you to play with your friends even if they are a different level. The ability to import your previous console save is a great surprise. I do wish you had the option of importing your PC version as well. And there are a lot more great changes that I'm not going to bother listing here.… Full Review »

I currently own 3 copies of Diablo 3; PC, Xbox 360 and now for the xbox one. To be honest I don't know why i bought all three should have just been a bit patient and waited and got it for the xbox one. Diablo 3 is a moderately enjoyable RPG on PC and 360 but with only an evening of playing it I'm enjoying it way more on the xbox one. Loot is more balanced, controls feel good and intuitive and visuals are pretty nice. Overall the game is just more fun than my experience on the previous versions though loot 2.0 did improve the PC version. Only frustration for me was still having to pay full price when i owned 2 copies already.
    If you've been holding out till now and you you loved Diablo 2 then this is finally a decent sequel that you'll enjoy.    … Full Review »

The Xbox one controller feels great to use and is responsive with commands and controls. The story is lame and dialogue boring but the voice acting is well done with each class/gender getting a unique voice. Overall a very fun and addicting game that should definitely be checked out if your feeling a lack of entertainment on the new-generation. At least until Destiny;)

    P.S. I gave it a 10 because I don't understand how this game could get anything under a 7, but I say my real score is a 8.8    … Full Review »
