Of course, there's also the Campaign Mode.

Layout, tiles and monsters are all random, but what you can expect is – give or take, depending on your luck – a nice pile of loot. These can only be opened using Rift Keystones that are found in Adventure Mode, and provide a completely random one-shot dungeon adventure. Nephalem Rifts are an even more focused version of Adventure Mode. Of course, you can still do that if you wish, but I found Adventure Mode is a really entertaining and surprisingly quick way to level up – mostly because of the higher rate of critters thrown at you. What's particularly appealing is that because Adventure Mode features a single difficulty level that scales to match your character, you can throw a brand new level one character into this mode, rather than having to run through the Campaign again. There are 25 missions per new Adventure Mode map, and completing them all earns some significant rewards. It basically drops you into a fully open map whose locations feature simple objective-oriented missions (Kill X, Shoot Y Creatures, Find Z etc) that you can take on at your leisure. A large amount of that has to do with the Adventure Mode, which opens up once you've completed the Campaign. It makes D3 feel like the arcade game it truly is – and this year it's even more of an arcade game than before.Įarlier, I said that I think D3 is worth buying, even if you have last year's game. For me, running around with a joystick, and pushing buttons to fight through the endlessly rampaging hordes D3 throws at you is a joy. And sure, if you really do believe that clickymouseclicky is a more pleasant control option, then more power to you.

I said it last year, and I'll say it again. No matter what you have to do, there's always a finger-numbingly large amount of clicks involved.

I've been playing the PC version a fair bit recently, and while I do love the game, its control system is annoyingly clicky. Much of it looks familiar, but the game feels tighter, flows more smoothly, and facilitates progress beautifully. This new edition of D3 basically stands on the shoulders of its predecessor.

On the face of it, being able to move your saves from the first game to this one, one new act, a new Crusader character, and Nephalem Rifts and Adventure Mode mightn't sound like much, but it actually is – and I'll explain why presently.

For those still gaming on prior generation systems, the first and most salient question you probably have about D3 revolves around the relative merits of buying it if you already have the original.Īssuming you had fun playing D3 last year, I'd say moving over to Reaper of Souls is definitely worth it.

Twelve months on from my highly enthusiastic review of PS3 Diablo III, I find myself about to re-use all the words I used last year in what will be a strangely similar review of this year's version.įor current generation console users, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Ultimate Evil Edition (forthwith called D3 to avoid repeatedly typing one of the longest game names in recent history) is all-new.
