This is definitely the most cinematic top-down arpg I've played. Although I could not get all that into the story, I really enjoyed aspects of it. The rivalry between Lilith and Inarius was interesting and their characters were both great villains. The side characters that accompany you on your journey are all likeable and have interesting arcs and the world-building is especially fantastic. The game world around you is wonderfully detailed, and there is a general sense of danger and doom that is ever-present as you progress through the world tiers. The different classes are all unique and interesting in their own ways. I had a lot of fun playing as a Druid and a Barbarian. One thing I definitely noticed was that this was not a game I could sit down and play for hours at a time. I had to take breaks because I found that the gameplay loop was very visible to the player and because of that it could become tedious if played for too long. When played in short bursts I had a great time though. Diablo 4 does not do much of anything new, but it is a solid, fun arpg and I may come back to it in the future to start a new character in a later season.
