The good news is that you’ll more often than not come across other players slaying stuff around you that you can follow or join, and even better is that Diablo IV is cross-platform. That’s not the case anymore as now this is more like a live service title/MMORPG than an ARPG.
I’ll admit I wasn’t a fan at first as I’m used to Diablo III’s way of playing online but it not being required, so if the internet of Blizzard’s server goes down, you can still play. When you do, you’re tasked with helping some people fight off some evil creatures near their town, which gives you a nice introduction into learning how to use your attacks, dodge, and apply skill points to unlock and upgrade new abilities on your skill tree when you level up.Īs you grow stronger and advance through the world, you’ll come across bigger dangers that might be difficult to handle alone, and this is where both the good and bad part of Diablo IV always requiring you to be online comes into play. The early beta only let you select the Barbarian, Rogue, and Sorcerer classes, while the recently ended open beta allowed all five by adding the Necromancer and Druid.įrom here you’re thrown into the world of Diablo where you start off trying to escape the cold elements and find shelter. Once you’re blown away by that, you get to make your character with some decent creation options (here’s hoping for more in the full release though).
I don’t think I’m exaggerating any when I say these are the best graphics I’ve ever seen in a Blizzard title, as though you’re playing the game using the same engine they make their legendary cutscenes with.Įvery spot on the screen is dripping with detail, from slimy and bloody walls and floors, to seeing the sweat and pores on your character’s skin, or seeing every piece of fabric or gleaming metal on your armor, the devil is truly in the details here. I’ve read a lot of previewers say the same thing, but I’ve got to say it too…Diablo IV looks freaking amazing.
