![]() This feels like a new Diablo game that has inserted in a lot of Lost Ark-like MMO elements without changing all that much else. I love past Diablo games, like we all do. Playing It Safe? – This is perhaps my general critique of the entire experience. Again, it’s a big game and there’s a lot more ahead, but I haven’t seen much creativity in this area at the start here. And while I know many specific enemies are staples of Diablo lore, I feel like 95% of things I saw were remixed from past games, and not in terribly interesting ways. Maybe this will change for the better in the live game, but it’s not great in the beta.Įnemy Density And Diversity – I feel like I kept running into the exact same 8-10 enemy mob clusters literally everywhere outside of brief horde segments, and I wanted things to be mixed up a bit. There do not seem to be a ton of social tools to organize the MMO elements like there are in other games other than very generalized things like world chat. And the world boss? While a cool concept, I felt like I had zero control over my instance, which had too few people and too many of them underleveled for us to even have a prayer of beating the thing. I find it odd that despite the focus on multiplayer, things like dungeons and strongholds don’t have matchmaking like Lost Ark. MMO Things – I am mixed on the MMO elements of this, as instead of Diablo moving more into MMO territory, during all these server errors I sure found myself wishing for a wholly offline single player version of this, which I suppose is an impossibility in 2023. I am curious to see more locations, certainly, before rendering a final verdict here. The graphics are great and some zones are eye-popping, but others are desaturated to the point of blandness where art direction can feel all but absent. It also took me the entire beta to learn there’s a separate, hidden way in the emote wheel to teleport back to the entrance of a dungeon.Īesthetics, At Times – While in general, I do love many of the dark, blood-soaked areas of the map and I understand wanting to head back to Diablo 2 vibes, at times things go from spooky and gross to just sort of…drab. ![]() Past that, the entire TP system is a little weird, as you have to teleport back to a town then to your party if you’re in one. Fast Travel – This may be a problem solved with mounts, but it really did seem like there were way too many sprawling zones without fast travel points anywhere near them.
