Diablo III

Diablo III is an action role-playing video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment, serving as the third entry to the Diablo series, and the sequel to Diablo II, was released on May 15th, 2012 on PC, following a release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2013, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2014, and Nintendo Switch alongside with the Eternal Collection in 2018.

Base Game
A star has fallen on near New Tristram, and the player character follows it to there, finding Leah. where she leads him/her to the Cathedral, where her Uncle, Deckard is believed to be blasted by the fallen star. The player character finds Deckard alive, who is being chased down by the Skeleton King, which the player character kills, and finds an unknown survivor of the fallen star, who is known to be known as Tyrael, an angel who has fallen from Haven due to his fellow Angels calling out him for disobeying the ancient laws, who has decided to become mortal. They plan on destroying the Soul Stone once for and all.

Reaper of Souls
After the events of the base game, Tyrael has planned to keep the Soul Stone away from the Angels far away. However, his brother, Malthael attacked him and steals the Soul Stone. The character player is found and is tasked to stop Malthael and the new threat.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Players choose one of seven character classes – Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Witch Doctor, Wizard, or Necromancer
 * 2) Tons of quests to complete.
 * 3) The new expansion pack Reaper of Souls adds a lot of extra content.
 * 4) Many powerful demons act as one of many bosses.
 * 5) Addicting gameplay.
 * 6) Amazing graphics.
 * 7) Now gold can be picked up merely by touching it, or coming within range, adjusted by gear, rather than having to manually pick it up.
 * 8) One of the new features intended to speed gameplay is that health orbs drop from enemies, replacing the need to have a potion bar.
 * 9) A handy skill bar allows a player to assign quick bar buttons to skills and spells.
 * 10) An enhanced quest system, a random level generator, and a random encounter generator are used in order to ensure the game provides different experiences when replayed.
 * 11) Unlike Diablo II, rare and magic items can be enhanced, not just basic weaponry and armor.
 * 12) The Nintendo Switch version is an impressive port; it runs at 60 frames per second, both docked and handheld. It even includes exclusive content based on The Legend of Zelda and even has Amiibo support.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The game had a broken release; Blizzard has since fixed the issues, though.
 * 2) The PC version has always-online drm. If you lose connection while playing, the game will take you back to the title screen. Thankfully, console versions can be played offline.
 * 3) The infamous Auction House system.
 * 4) Predictable storyline compared to previous entries.
 * 5) *In the beginning of the game, Deckard claimed a meteor falling in the sky is the End of Days, even though it was Tyrael who was falling from the High Heavens
 * 6) *Leah being a vessel for Diablo's return and being the daughter of the Dark Wander is very predictable.
 * 7) Instead of letting the Reaper of Souls expansion being available to purchase like the PC version on 7th generation consoles, Blizzard delisted the Base Game version of the 7th gen versions and re-released the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions as the Ultimate Evil Edition and made PS3 and Xbox 360 users pay for the game again for the Reaper of Souls Expansion, which is very shady. At least the PS4, Xbox One, and Switch versions include the Reaper of Souls expansion at no extra cost.

Reception
Diablo III has received positive reviews from critics, attaining scores of 88% and 88/100 on aggregate review websites GameRankings and Metacritic respectively.
