Diablo 3 is back on next-gen consoles.
How does it fare with all the new upgrades?
Itscontroversial, broken, the game that killed a popular Blizzard franchise.
Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Editionis fun, surprising, and what we wanted from the original all along.
Its another typical Blizzard success.
If its been a couple of years since you played Blizzards dungeon crawler, I dont blame you.
The originalDiablo 3released on the PC in May 2012 received a lot of criticism from gamers and critics alike.
Each new patch or re-release has felt at times like a personal apology from the developer.
It essentially made the game what everyone thought it should have been two years ago.
With every new iteration,Diablo 3has become a little bit more worthy of your gaming time.
It also brings a pretty massive graphics upgrade, at least when compared to last generation.
This should be very welcome to anyone who has been mindlessly farming the original game over the last year.
Youll also get an opportunity to go into battle as a Crusader, the games new class.
Perhaps the best addition to the game with this release is the new Adventure Mode.
It looks smooth and fluid and just feels great.
I played the game on PS4 and had no issues with the controller.
The console specific user interface makes it quite easy to map out commands to the buttons you like.
The more ergonomical design of the PS4 controller compared to the PS3 was a noticeable benefit for me.
I played for hours with no discomfort, something I cant say about my experience with the PS3 version.
And what amazing loot it is.
The Loot 2.0 system should see most players getting multiple legendary items in just one playthrough.
The game tosses out just enough loot to keep the game fun but without oversaturating you.
Almost every piece that drops should be useful to you under this new smart drop system.
There are some additional console specific touches here, but nothing too crazy.
Theres a system that allows you to fight monsters that have killed players on your friends list.
Avenge your friend by taking the monster out and youll both get a reward.
This rift seems to spawn randomly and is a bit rare to encounter.
