After a whopping 12 years after its predecessor, Diablo 3 is finally out to play on the PC. The story begins 20 years after Diablo 2 has ended with a girl named Leah who has the ability to seal demon lords in a soul stone. Plus Tyreal the archangel is trying to stop Diablo from taking over the heavens. This time around Tyreal threw away is divinity to become mortal in order to warn the humans and fight diablo army of hell.

The player starts off with the choice of 5 different character classes to choose barbarian, witch doctor, wizard, monk, and demon hunter. Then the adventure starts from there, unlike in Diablo 2, there is no point allotment system in this game. Instead the skill system is structured for experimenting with unlocked skills to make game play more enjoyable. Another features is a rune system that adds effects to skills based on you level. An example is the witch doctors summoned dogs can have poison effect or take damage dealt to the user. The item and armor equip system has remained the same, but now there is crafting involved in Diablo 3.

Game play is very easy to get into and the tutorials are very helpful to first timers. Graphics have improved immensely with the same nostalgic point of view from the previous game. There are old enemies redone plus new ones also that at some point during the game end up as huge monsters that aren’t even bosses. The new world designs are very detailed and combined with the enemies and allies makes the game addicting at time. The leveling system remains the same and while in single player mode the player can also have a follower help them along the way.

So far the game has an easier playing feel compared to diablo 2 with  npc characters fighting alongside you. I’ve only been playing as the witch doctor class so far and have enjoyed it tremendously. Since it reminds me of the old necromancer class with the summoned creatures assisting you. Overall, Diablo 3 delivers terrific graphics, challenging bosses, beautifully rendered environments, and a wide variety of enemies that will just mob you if your not careful. Which makes this one of the most anticipated games for the year.
