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.

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.

Recently focusing entirely on endgame, to the detriment of all earlier content. Instead of improving the game in measurable ways, its developers use desperate psychology to string along its user base. DO NOT PLAY unless you’re already playing. Then DO NOT STOP.

Once anything comes along that’s decent, haul ass and bring everyone with you. Consider, for example, Guild Wars 2 – (2012 game).

Unbelievably slow-paced awkward game. Great idea, and I remember liking it when I first tried it.. but on my next pass it just dragged on so badly I couldn’t even get through the first map.
