[Reviewed with only the main story complete]
Diablo IV is my first - I know, shocking and digusting - Diablo game I've completed, I played around half of 3 with my partner a couple of years ago, and bought the remaster of 2 when it released, but never started it.
I knew what I wanted going in to this, that same experience as before, no major changes, no deviations into something radically different, just let me be a sorcerer again and stand there and hold a button and defeat waves after waves of enemies, and, to nobody's surprise, that's exactly what I got.
Diablo IV does some new interesting things though, for a start the world is now one giant open world instead of separate open areas. For someone like me, it's not that much of a difference to notice, but I assume for Diablo's die hard fans its quite the change. The skill tree is also reworked and has some fun new abilities and power-ups for those abilities, I ended up being mostly just a Pyromancer but ended up towards the end being both that and a Cyromancer.
The story is fine, it's not anything I cared for too much, but the 'full' cinematics - as sparce as they are - are absolutely gorgeous.
There's also a l o t of side content in this game, which, is to be expected. Every Diablo game is littered with side content for that replayability and longevity of playthroughs.
I'll absolutely be going back to it to pick up where I left off and complete everything for this game, I'm so glad I took the chance of picking it up.
