A lot of Diablo purists hated this because, as Mike Fahey put it in our original review, the tweaks meant the game was “a bit on the easy side, especially for players who have followed the series for any extended period of time.”

The most controversial adjustments were the ones that simplified character customisation and abilities by removing some of the minutiae of skill trees and only given players access to a handful of special abilities at any given time. Blizzard made a lot of big changes in the twelve years it took to produce a sequel to Diablo II. See, even when Diablo III wasn’t a console game, it still felt like one. Now that I have, I think I can finally sit back and enjoy the game without worrying if I’m missing some other, better version of Diablo III. But it wasn’t until I played the newly-minted PS4 version of Diablo III that I started to feel like I’d discovered the best possible version of the game - the one that launches today for Microsoft and Sony’s newest consoles.

I’ve experimented with all of the character classes (the Witch Doctor is the best by far, no matter what our latest poll says), and tested the game across different difficulties alone and with other players.

I’ve played on PC and Mac, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. I’ve played a lot of Diablo III in a lot of different ways since it first came out in 2012.
