Diablo is back, and I mean REALLY back!
First Impressions - Diablo IV

June 4, 2023 • lyndonguitar • Category: Review

Diablo IV has finally arrived (in Early Access form), and it’s a game that effortlessly merges the best elements of its predecessors. With a skillful combination of Diablo II skill tree mechanics and dark tone, along with Diablo III’s smooth combat and quality of life improvements, this latest installment in the series offers the best Diablo experience for both longtime fans and newcomers alike. I was fortunate enough to be able to play Diablo IV in Early Access, and I have to tell you guys, it is amazing. It is everything I had hoped it would be, coming from Diablo 3 and 2.

Set during a tumultuous period, the game follows Atsu as she embraces the path of the Ghost to hunt down her targets. While built upon the foundations of its predecessors, Yotei immediately distinguishes itself by prioritizing refined gameplay flow and anti-fatigue design over overwhelming map density, setting it up as a truly modern open-world experience.
