What that gives you is a lot of time to spend wandering around the game world. Key story events will be triggered once the player completes the requisite subtasks, but you’re free to approach them in whatever order you like. The campaign often doles out multiple objectives across the world. Also, the whole game is online only, even in private single player mode.ĭiablo IV’s open world is much more freely explorable than previous games.
The game will have microtransactions, though Blizzard reps insist they will be for cosmetic items only. The less glamorous side of modern gaming has also slipped into Diablo’s new duds. It also has dedicated couch co-op modes that let people play together on the same device. (All the others were PC only until the first console ports of Diablo III came out a year after its release.) The game will feature crossplay, so people on all platforms can easily play together. This is the first Diablo game to be designed from the start with consoles in mind. While the framework of Diablo IV is firmly rooted in the past, there are many updates to the format that make it feel more in line with modern games. I’m going to get added to a watchlist for writing this sentence, but there’s really nothing more satisfying than watching a single well-timed attack splatter a dozen enemies into a chunky red mist.
Fighting them feels more dynamic than ever, largely thanks to a new evade skill that allows you to spring away from attacks. Enemies are numerous and occasionally massive. The playable classes are varied, with expansive skill trees that can change how you play the game. All the hallmarks of a Diablo game are here. Despite all the gloominess and horror, Diablo IV seems intent on giving players a good time.
