"The first Diablo game in over a decade is also one of the most insidiously satisfying loot treadmills in almost as long."

Great Game

This game is awesome. The gameplay seems repetitive but never really gets old and endlessness of the game makes it great for a mindless podcast game. One thing I didn't like was playing as a Monk I wa… Read more

Some changes have been made, but there are still plenty of phatty loots to gain.

I wasn’t able to experience Diablo 1 or 2 back when they were relevant and popular, so my eagerness towards Diablo 3 had been sparked mostly by Torchlight, which helped me realize what I’d missed out… Read more

Not worth the 12 year wait.

Am I wrong for buying this game even though I have never played any prior version? I think so, because my experience thus far has been luke warm at best. First let's get the big one out the way, the o… Read more

Blizzard has done an outstanding job in bringing Diablo III to consoles

Diablo III for PC was a huge launch for the platform. I remember being stuck waiting for an hour and 30 minutes just to be able to login to Blizzard.net and create my character. The launch was a mess,… Read more

As great as the predecessor

I bought this game on its very launch in Germany. I always played Diablo on ps in coop mode with friends, and later on Diablo 2 on the PC. Couldn't wait to see this new piece. And the result is brilli… Read more

Diablo III Review

It has been a while since the demon Diablo has been loose upon the world, but finally Blizzard has decided that not only is the demon Diablo making his presence known but so is his brethren. It is now… Read more

The Beating Heart of Diablo

Here we are 16 years or so after Diablo I was released on the PC on the very last day of 1996. Game design has come a long way and PC capabilities have as well. When Blizzard sat down to make this gam… Read more

Diablo 3 is less of what D2 was, and more of what it wasn't.

It's been twelve years since Diablo 2's release. The innumerable success of Diablo 2 meant that demand would soon follow for a third game in the series. Naturally, expectations were high, and Blizzard… Read more

, Diablo III is the place to go to live out your looting dreams.

It has been twelve years since Diablo II arrived on PC systems. Hitting in 2000, it was met with critical acclaim from the press, creating legions of gamers into diehard fans who succumbed to its addi… Read more

Diablo III Review

Diablo 3 was probably one of the most anticipated games of the modern era, beyond the initial layer of hype is a game that permeates a "more of the same" vibe and caters more to the casual crowd over… Read more

The DRM is the only thing holding it back

Before a copy of Diablo 3 showed up at my door, I had never even touched a Diablo game or any dungeon crawler for that matter. My money was always better spent elsewhere, it seemed. I now look back on… Read more

I actually found this game.....boring

Let me start this review by saying I'm a huge fan of Diablos 1 & 2 and that I had no problem with the fact that a different Blizzard team were tackling this one. I played the open beta and, while… Read more

Dutiful Sequel

I will always remember a time hazed in nostalgia, whereupon I read that Diablo II was the Guinness World Record holder for most users. Or something along those lines. This was in a land in the time be… Read more

Deception

After so many years, the biggest series of all ( at least to me ) come like this... Level restriction, no stats to customize your char, and so many connection problems Other minor changes that didnt a… Read more

The Same Old Formula But Still Extremely Addicting

Back in the day the Diablo series had started a revolution. While you had plenty of in depth role playing games such as Baldurs Gate, Fallout or Planescape Torment - the genre of action RPG’s had not… Read more

Preoccupying from hell to heaven

Although it's all great, Act III stands out as the big highlight for me. It occurred to me a couple days before the release of Diablo III - Blizzard's latest entry into its action RPG franchise - that… Read more

My Thoughts on Diablo 3

I never played Diablo 1 or 2. Believe me, I tried! I bought the game chest that came with both games and the expansion and tried multiple times to get into it, but this was years after release and all… Read more

Diablo 3: Worth Skipping

In the world of post-release patches, video games are difficult to judge when they are young and months out of the gate. Let us hope that Blizzard is just another procrastinator. In short Diablo III i… Read more

Diablo 3: A Hardcore Postcard

Diablo 3: A Hardcore Postcard What can you really say about Diablo. It’s a series that has always reacted to the world around it. I missed out completely on Diablo 2, but have played enough to know wh… Read more

Great Game for a new player

I am new to dungeon crawlers and don't have the extensive list of that genre of gaming. I find this game enjoyable and a great introduction to this style of gaming. The tutorial provides a great intro… Read more

Great Game

Game can't get much better when it comes to graphics. And storyline is amazing, you just never want to stop playing. With a versatile game play experience one of Blizzard's greatest games yet, it's wo… Read more

It's more diablo

I wish I could give this game three ratings - one for the majority of video game players, one for those who liked previous diablo games and one for those who REALLY liked the previous diablo games. Th… Read more

If you're a fan, you'll keep being a fan...for sure.

I have both a Mac and a PC...I attempted to install it on my Mac, however, my MacBook Pro is now about 6 years old and the video card/RAM/Processor is quite outdated for the gaming world. So, I instal… Read more

Mixed blessings...

This game is amazing. No question about it, 10/10 on value and fun factor. What I can't in any shape or form make allowance for is the always on DRM for a single player game. I feel conflicted by this… Read more

A Good Upgrade, but Will It Reign?

Download Size : ~8.5 GB Hours Played : ~40 Highest Act Reached : Act 3 out of 4, Nightmare difficulty (2nd tier) What I'd Pay : $70 Current Price (5/22/12) : $60 So, amidst all the debate and flame wa… Read more

Could you at least give me a compelling story?

It seems like it's a developing trend with Blizzard games. Highly polished, sophisticated gameplay and technology. Hackneyed, contrived storytelling. And I've had an internal debate with myself about… Read more

The Case of the Restless Redhead

It has come to pass. The Dark Lord and his evil brethren have risen to ensure that in 2012, mankind will perish in the flames of non-productivity. Diablo 3 is finally out and while much is the same th… Read more

Review: Diablo III

Twelve years is an awfully long wait for a game, but hardcore PC gamers will tell you there’s no substitute for the feeling that the Diablo franchise provides. The cycle by which Blizzard Entertainmen… Read more

A junkie's best/worst nightmare

Disclaimer: I played a witch doctor to 22 and a monk to 32 so far, have not finished the game yet(close though). So far i love the game. Visually it looks good, there are some rough edges, especially… Read more

Relative Diablo 3, A Review from a Former Diablo 2 Addict

I'm not sure that I really want to admit this, but I played way too much Diablo 2. Maybe not the normal kind of too much Diablo 2 either--hundreds of hours, mat/pat every class, major class guide writ… Read more

Saving the world one click at a time

It's hard to imagine many other games having as much of an "event" status then when Blizzard decides to announce a game. An impeccable pedigree and an admirable-yet-frustrating love of perfectionism,… Read more

Impressed but the game is broken.

I had a positive review for this game earlier here but since i first played through the game it have been so bad that i needed to change my review. The game itself is really funny and great when it wo… Read more

A game even Lucifer would be proud of.

Diablo III is finally out! You can now leave the hype train and proceed to play one of the most anticipated games of the year, if not the past few years for PC gamers. There was a lot of concern about… Read more
