Diablo IV, for me. I love the Diablo series and just a bit ago, I sank 2 hours down to get my necromancer character up and set in Diablo II Resurrection. I have Diablo III and its expansion too, but they’re online only and I almost can’t be bothered to go through that. I’ve beaten it a long time ago.
And I really do want to get Diablo IV, but they’ve made that online-only as well. Like, I know I’m always online and everything but I do like to have that fallback where if I am without internet or I can’t afford internet for a time, I can play or watch things to bide the time over. I can’t do that with online-only games because it’s like being gated away from something you bought.
So everytime I look at Diablo IV, I just get a little depressed at times. Blizzard should do what D2R did, have an online character and have an offline character.
I was there for a while. I finally got around to it and played semi regularly for a year and a bit, took a year or two off, and then finished off what was apparently the last quest of the base game lol
it’s a decent game. you don’t need to a ton of time to make it worthwhile but you do need to play it in slightly longer individual chunks (playing 30 min at a time isn’t very viable).
if you can, give it a try. but yeah it does require some time, it’s not like popping into minecraft for a bit or mini metro for a round. but it’s also not like civ’s ‘just one more turn’
I liked the story, environments, and gameplay. I found I enjoyed it best when I actually relaxed into it instead of trying to rush through and complete stuff, so again yeah maybe won’t be possible for your available time. but it’s not necessary to complete it to get enjoyment out of it. around a third of the way through to halfway through is probably where I enjoyed it the most. maybe even earlier?
