Summary
Diablo III picks up the story twenty years after the events of Diablo II. Mephisto, Diablo, and Baal have been defeated, but the Worldstone, which once shielded the inhabitants of the world of Sanctuary from the forces of both Heaven and Hell, has been destroyed, and evil once again stirs in Tristram. Playing as a hero from one of five distinct character classes, players will acquire powerful items, spells, and abilities as they explore new and familiar areas of Sanctuary and battle hordes of demons to safeguard the world from the horrors that have arisen.

Diablo III is as close to flawless as I’ve ever seen a game get. When the only downsides to a game are the DRM, the server issues after 4.7 million people tried to log in at the same time and a predictable storyline (though one that still resulted in rampant speculation on what’s coming next), I have to pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming.
Diablo III is a game that relies on very little but is able to offer a tremendous amount of enjoyable gameplay. All it takes is a steady fire of clicks to quickly appreciate how satisfying the skills are to use and in-turn earn mountains of loot that pour from the corpses of enemies. It’s a shame that its first week has been wrought with server issues, but Diablo III is a game that has the potential to live a long and prosperous life.
While most of it’s big changes come from the remodeled leveling system, much of what made Diablo II such a good game is still present in some form or another. That’s probably because some things just never get old. Blizzard knows how to set the stage and keep gamers coming back, day-in and day-out. Whether it’s to marvel at the sights in Sanctuary all by your lonesome or tackle The Butcher on Inferno difficulty with friends, there’s something that’ll likely give you that itch for one more click in Diablo III.
