A Connect Four-like game, with some goofyness akin to the various Tetris remakes.
Boring as sin. The free flash game from a decade ago is the exact same thing.

A terrible FPS semi-roguelike game.
Procedurally-generated levels. Extraordinarily unfairly unnecessarily hard. Not fun at all.
I ended up getting a refund.

A MOBA which also has good bots.
Like all the other “safe” games Blizzard has created, Heroes of the Storm is an accessible MOBA (Multiplayer online battle arena) game. It’s pretty, plays well, and os reasonably fun. It has excellent bots to beat up for a chill game. Voice support makes it great.
I play a bunch of it, and like it. I don’t PvP. The versus AI started out being really boring but improved a lot over time.
Full ultrawide support, even in windowed fullscreen. It’s a big difference.
Video games have vastly richer subtleties than the very best movies.
Movies you watch. Games you are.

A top-down hack-and-slash game based on the Gauntlet franchise but with different controls, abilities and general gameplay.
This seemed like a good idea at the time, but turned out to be a pretty shitty experience. Not recommended.

Oh hell, it opens with an unskippable playable cutscene. Intolerable.

I’ve played this exact same thing as a free flash game. Except the controls were a hell of a lot better with that one.

Well. I had heard good things about this game, and since it was on sale I thought I’d pick it up.
I regret it.

All the Earth is in peril, but everyday people have been given super powers.. except half of them become villains, for some reason.
The interface and controls weren’t pleasant for me. Probably the biggest nuisance was not having set a colour scheme on my chest because I made myself bare-chested.

A fixed-angle-view roguelike.
My general conclusion is that it’s a good game, but doesn’t have enough variety of abilities.
Path of Exile – (2013 game) is better in terms of difficulty, complexity and player-immersion. In fact, Diablo 3 has been copying features straight from Path of Exile. Doing things badly, but, still, obviously copying.
Properly titled Diablo III
