Diablo IV

Few things bring as much joy as wiping out an entire mob in a single blow. It’s as therapeutic as walking on dried leaves. Just bring your fiendish friends along so you don’t get bored of bombing corpses

The main story picks up from the previous games but if you’re new to Diablo then a quick YouTube recap should bring you up to speed with the lore. It’s not rocket science. Just a bleak and gothic world with a lot of names that end with ‘o’ and ‘rim’, and a bit of name-dropping of angels and demons. Oh, and everyone sounds like Leonard Cohen.

Aside from two or three good boss battles, the story lacks the wow factor for its campaign bosses. Only in the Act 5 and 6 the game starts to get creative with its bosses and missions. However, after 10 hours in, you know that you have to defeat a mob of smaller enemies while dealing damage to a 20 feet tall boss. That said, the fleshed-out cutscenes and proper voice acting feed curiosity. After playing Diablo IV, I want to play the old games as well and much of that is credited to its addictive build system.
