Diablo III: Eternal Collection

If you’ve never played Blizzard’s legendary loot-grinder, the Eternal Collection on Switch lives up to its name; you’ll find no shortage of content and characters to fill dozens of hours. And, by the way, you’re in for a treat. But even if you’re like me and the Switch is your third Diablo 3 platform, I still heartily endorse it because, quite simply, this is a complete and polished Diablo package that you can play anywhere from Heaven to Hell and everywhere in-between.

Diablo III on the Switch is my new favorite way to play the game. If you ignore the lame campaign, this is a engaging and rewarding action RPG experience that you can play for minutes or hours. And you’ll enjoy it alone or with friends. If you’ve ever been a fan of Diablo III and own the Switch, you’ll have a great time with this port. If you’re a Switch owner that’s into action RPGs but haven’t tried Diablo III yet, this is the perfect excuse to give the demon-slaying adventure a go.

It’s absolutely insane. Utter havoc. It’s what makes Diablo 3 the preeminent action RPG, even if there are newer and arguably better designs out there. I still grin, shake my head, and marvel at Blizzard’s ability to fuse charm, character, and technical prowess. They are the masters of swirling cartoonish videogame power fantasies, they belong on the Switch, and they’re here at last.

Diablo 3 is a game about long term goals accomplished in short, thrilling bursts. It's rewarding and subtle. It's flashy and boisterous. I have spent six years enjoying it, and will likely spend six years more. As far as video games go, that's a long time--I came into the Eternal Collection expecting a eulogy for one of my favorite games. Instead, I stumbled upon a celebration.

Once again Nintendo’s little machine is getting love that the Wii U never got from third party developers and we are seeing so many great games make the transition to the Switch, with Diablo 3 being the best of the bunch so far, a near perfect port with an endless amount of content to keep you happy for as long as you like. If you own a Switch then you owe it to yourself to pick up Diablo 3 and go Devil hunting.

Even after all these years, I still find Diablo III’s loop of starting small and becoming a godlike force of destruction irresistible. Even without major new additions, the Switch’s portability makes it easier than ever to pop into Sanctuary, kill a few hundred monsters, and scoop up some sweet new loot.

Blizzard should be commended for the gestalt that is Diablo 3: Eternal Collection. If you’ve followed Diablo 3’s history, you know the game walked a long, often bumpy path. It’s been addictive for several years, but the option to play on the go makes this package a must-have any Switch owner, especially players looking for a game to lose themselves in for dozens or hundreds of hours.

As much as I love playing Diablo 3 on my PC, the Eternal Collection on Switch may very well be my new preferred way to play - nothing beats lounging in bed, romping through a rift with the light out while I should be sleeping - all thanks to Nintendo Switch and Blizzard Entertainment.

Diablo III: Eternal Collection is a lovely port of a classic RPG loot-a-thon that keeps its feet firmly in the past. The execution is wonderful, but its gameplay is not something that will appeal to everyone due to the high level of repetition. Its visuals are clear and functional if not especially interesting, but performance is top notch to make up for it. If you’re looking for a loot-driven grind-a-thon with more explosions of viscera than you can comfortably discuss with your mother, this is the game for you.

You might not want to play more than 20 hours of Diablo III: Eternal Collection, but the time you do put in will be unbelievably entertaining. If you want more of this game, the Seasonal options are there for you, and if you have a few buddies who also pick it up, the more is definitely the merrier. And because I can’t stop thinking it, even though Diablo started out as a computer game, it feels better as a console one.

At $60, it makes this game a tough sell for those who have already invested in it elsewhere, along with its expansions, to simply be able to play it wherever they go. However, considering the amount of content included and the hundreds of hours of gameplay available right from the start, and that’s not even counting the Seasonal content that comes to the game on a regular basis, new players, without a doubt, will get the most bang for their buck, even at that price.

Diablo III on Switch is simply spectacular. It’s a phenomenal port that really shows what the Switch is capable of, and honestly, I think it might just be my favourite version of the game yet. Sure, it doesn’t quite look or perform its best on Nintendo’s hybrid console, but being able to dip into the game anytime, anywhere more than makes up for it. Whether you’ve got a few hours or a few minutes to spare, booting up Diablo III will always provide an entertaining way to fill them.

Every character eventually suffers from serious power creep. Lastly, if you succumb to the temptations of the metagame, the luster will fade in a way that you can’t reverse. In spite of all this, I can easily and wholeheartedly recommend Diablo III: Eternal Collection for the Nintendo Switch. Whether you’ve never played before or you’ve put in over a thousand hours, this game will pull you right in without a second’s hesitation.

It’s still fundamentally the same game as the 1996 original, but that’s kind of the point. Diablo isn’t interested in innovation or subtlety; it’s interested in empowerment and cheap thrills. It knows that fighting monsters and stealing their stuff is fun and its only concern is ensuring it stays that way no matter how, and with whom, you play it.

It looks better on other platforms, granted, and the price is a little steep for a game that's been doing the rounds for more than half a decade, but this is still a great experience that makes the transition to Switch with relatively little to complain about. If you've played it to death on a different platform then you'd be wise to question the value proposition before taking the plunge, but newcomers and those looking to return after years away will have a blast clearing its monster-filled dungeons.

Six years ago, Blizzard and Nintendo were on different paths but now, in 2018, with Nintendo more solicitous of third-party content and Blizzard eager to take advantage of portable console-quality gaming, titles like Diablo III: Eternal Collection make total sense. Despite inferior resolution and the lack of substantial exclusive content, The Eternal Collection is an excellent port of an ever better game. It's the console version of Diablo III, made portable and more versatile.

It is, by its nature, a fairly repetitive game, and once you’ve run your way through one dungeon Diablo III has really played its hand. However, its compelling world and the way it doles out loot and experience for your character just makes it rewarding enough to keep bringing you back time and time again. The ability to pick it up for short periods on the Switch really suits it as well, though don’t be surprised to find a few minutes becoming a few hours.

Diablo III is a brilliant game, and the Eternal Collection is absolutely the best way to play it.

There are some that will welcome the familiarity of retreading their footsteps with Diablo III, and others that will be embracing it for the first time. Blizzard's ambitious, sprawling dungeon crawler has lore, loot, and deadly combat embedded in its DNA, which enshrines in gaming history. The Eternal Collection refines the very best of the series by including all past updates.

Diablo III has seen numerous patches, refinements, and quality-of-life improvements since its initial release. It has also seen new character classes and a fifth act added to the game. Diablo III in 2018 is an outstanding game, and the Switch port really does the game justice. This Eternal Collection includes all the content released for the game and all the updates that have refined it into the modern classic it is.

Diablo III: Eternal Collection for the Nintendo Switch represents the best way to play Diablo III right now, whether it be with friends or by yourself with whatever controllers you have. While the exclusive gear and equipment are superficial and not a sole reason to buy on the Switch, Diablo III is a perfect fit for the platform, as cliché as it sounds. Sure, it’s starting to show signs of ageing, but it still plays as well today as it did all those years ago.

In the end, with Diablo III being a game that millions have played over the years one might think it strange to refer to this port as essential or exceptional. But, in playing Diablo in handheld mode one quickly realises that the core experience, the flow, the skill and item-based action-RPG combat, is some of the best the genre has ever seen.

If the only gaming console you have is a Switch, then there is no question that Diablo 3: Eternal Collection is a must play. However, if you have other platforms to play on and are looking to dive into the game for the first time, you might want to consider what it is you’re looking to get out of it. If it’s the game looking its best and an easy place to play with friends online – you may want to go elsewhere.

Diablo III: Eternal Collection es una conversión ejemplar de un juegazo que lleva años bridándonos horas y horas de diversión en multitud de plataformas, manteniendo todas sus virtudes intactas y añadiendo, por primera vez, la atractiva posibilidad de jugar en cualquier parte gracias a las capacidades portátiles de Nintendo Switch.

Si todavía sois de aquellos que no han probado Diablo III y poseéis una consola Nintendo Switch os alegrará saber que Diablo III: Eternal Collection para la híbrida es una estupenda adaptación del videojuego originario de PC. El rendimiento en la pequeña máquina mitad sobremesa mitad de “bolsillo” es excepcional por mucha acción que transcurra en su pequeña pantalla y los controles están perfectamente adaptados a sus botonera.

La versión portátil y la posibilidad de jugar en local son lo que más nos gusta. Y lo que menos, el hecho de que no podamos cruzar partida con nuestra cuenta de Battle.net. Una pequeña pega para poder disfrutar de un título que vuelve a sentirse como nuevo en una nueva plataforma (y hay que recordar que Diablo III es un juego que tiene ya 6 años). Casi nada.

Su resolución en el modo dock, por debajo de los 1080p y el sacrificio de algo de su detalle puede ser la única característica negativa, al perder esa nitidez que hacía resaltar el gran trabajo de arte de Blizzard, pero el resultado en líneas generales exprime al máximo las capacidades técnicas de switch, así como las fórmulas de control para varios jugadores.

Corre ahora mismo por una copia de este título, te la pasarás increíble. ¿Sería la cuarta o quinta vez que compras Diablo III? Tal vez es mejor idea que reconsideres, pues más allá de la potabilidad, esta versión no te ofrecerá nada que las otras no lo hayan hecho ya, incluso de una mejor forma. Lo que sí podemos decir que es innegable, es que Diablo III: Eternal Collection para Switch es un excelente port que cumple con todo lo que promete.

Blöd ist nur, dass im lokalen Co-Op immer nur ein Spieler der Reihe nach das Inventar verwalten darf. Hier wäre eine Split-Screen-Lösung sicher besser gewesen. Als inhaltliches Gesamtpaket dürfte die Diablo 3: Eternal Collection vor allem Nicht-Kenner des Hack-&-Slay-Titels ansprechen und diejenigen, die es gerade im lokalen Co-Op-Modus spielen möchten ...

Si rien ne pansera les plaies des plus déçus du jeu de 2012, Diablo III Eternal Collection nous rappelle combien les extensions, le mode Aventure, les Saisons et l'adaptation au pad ont permis à ce grand sujet de discorde de vieillir comme un bon vin. Sur Switch, la bête de Blizzard est une came dure, comme un bandit-manchot portable où l'on gagne toujours, aussi difficile à lâcher que relancé en à peine quelques secondes.

Plutôt agréable - même si l'on sent certaines concessions sur le visuel en mode TV et qu'on a parfois du mal à bien discerner l'action - et toujours fluide, cet exemplaire nomade, parfaitement adapté en termes de prise en mains avec ses menus radiaux pour le matos et les compétences, captivera autant en solo qu'en mode multi, dont la mise en place se révèle simple comme bonjour. Clairement la version portable de Diablo qui mettra tout le monde d'accord.

Cette version de Diablo III a le mérite de regrouper l'ensemble du contenu publié jusqu'à maintenant, et donc de proposer des dizaines et des dizaines d'heures de jeu. Et même des centaines, pour les plus acharnés. Initialement dédié aux clavier et aux souris, le gameplay a été adapté intelligemment aux consoles, tandis que le moteur graphique de 2012 sait ne pas se montrer trop exigeant.

Sa portabilité en étendard, et si ce n’est quelques concessions graphiques sans grand impact sur notre confort de jeu, le titre n’a pas à rougir face à ses homologues PC et consoles dont il reprend d’ailleurs la jouabilité et l’ergonomie. Les cases d’un portage réussi sont donc cochées par Blizzard qui nous livre par la même occasion une excellente excuse de replonger des heures durant dans les sombres cachots de Diablo III en quête de butins rares.

Apesar de ser a mais recente entrega da franquia, não lhe podemos chamar "a versão definitiva de Diablo III". No entanto, acrescenta-lhe a portabilidade que todos gostávamos de ter sem o palavrão mobile. Fluída, genuína e divertida, é uma experiência que novatos e veteranos vão querer certamente experimentar, de lamentar apenas a questão da partilha de conta entre plataformas.

O preço pedido pode não ser o mais apelativo, mas Diablo III: Eternal Collection é um jogo estupendo e muito apurado, que oferece dezenas de horas de conteúdo. É também uma das melhores adaptações no catálogo da Switch, aproveitando o potencial da consola e sendo ainda um dos grandes jogos do ano para a híbrida da Nintendo. É uma adaptação quase perfeita da obra da Blizzard e obrigatória para os fãs de RPGs de acção.

La versione Switch di Diablo III è un acquisto imprescindibile per chi ama il genere e non ha ancora voluto o potuto giocarlo in questi anni: abbiamo tra le mani un'ottima conversione che si fregia di ogni contenuto e aggiornamento pubblicati, più qualche piccolo extra esclusivo per i possessori della console Nintendo.

Nintendo Switch sta diventando sempre più la console dove rigiocare i classici degli anni ’10. Dopo Bayonetta, Skyrim, Doom, Dark Souls e altri, arriva anche Diablo 3, altra pietra miliare di questo decennio. Il gioco mantiene intatte le sue caratteristiche più importanti: una giocabilità stratosferica, un’immediatezza incredibile che può facilmente trasformarsi in una profondità di tutto rispetto, un gusto per il loot che non ha paragoni e una longevità/rigiocabilità impossibile da misurare.

Diablo 3: Eternal Collection чувствует себя на Nintendo Switch прекрасно. Игра прилично выглядит и приносит столько же радости, сколько и на других игровых консолях. А портативный режим позволяет кромсать демонов где душе угодно.

Sona geldiğimizde eğer büyük bir Diablo hayranıysanız ve Diablo 3 her an yanınızda olsun istiyorsanız, oyunun Switch sürümünü almanızı tavsiye ederim. İçerik açısından diğer platformdan farklı bir şey sunamayan oyun, co - op anlamda diğer platformlardan daha zevkli ve eğlenceli deneyimler sunabiliyor. Hali hazırda kolay bir oynanışa sahip olan Diablo 3, Switch’te co - op olarak oynanabilecek en iyi oyunlardan bir tanesi olarak piyasada yerini aldı.

Diablo 3 is nu verkrijgbaar op de Switch en bevat alle DLC tot nu toe. Mocht je het als veteraan toch te prijzig vinden, maar wil je wel graag overal Diablo spelen? Dan kun je ook nog even wachten tot volgend jaar wanneer Diablo Immortal voor smartphones uitkomt. Wij gaan nu weer even verder met het verslaan van het kwaad!

Switch bezitters leveren iets aan grafische kwaliteit in wanneer je de game in handheld mode speelt, maar daar staat de vrijheid van portable Diablo III tegenover. Ook als dit niet jouw eerste tripje door de hel is, is er voldoende reden om nog eens in dit bizarre avontuur te duiken. Diablo III is zo’n eindeloos speelbare game en één die iedere keer de moeite waard is.

Ale nawet jeśli wersja na Switcha jest dla was, tak jak dla mnie, już trzecim spotkaniem z Diablo 3, to i tak wam ją polecam, bo jest to, krótko mówiąc, najbardziej kompletne i dopracowanie wydanie Diablo na jakie traficie, czy to w niebie, czy w piekle, czy gdziekolwiek między nimi.
