    It was actually really enjoyable the first 10 hours. Im 40 and love games like this where you can turn off your brain, like Destiny. The demo gave me a nostalgia kick and I felt like a kid again playing Diablo 2 on my old WinXp computer. Unfortunately, there’s just no real energy to the game. From level 20 to max level, nothing feels different. My damage became higher, and were just a bit flasher, but i didn’t feel that satisfaction of player progression in the game beyond checking tasks like in a crappy Ubisoft game.

    I honestly don’t think Diablo 4 is a cash grab. The level of details and polish in the game is pretty high. They changed the art style from D3 (which was like a WoW ripoff) and took inspiration from Dark Souls. If it didn’t have the online only BS, I strongly feel like modding could fix it a lot.

    I’m actually hoping the expansion makes it better. Diablo 3 sucked. But it sas “fixed” with the expansion after two years. (But it still doesn’t meet D2’s quality)
