Of the benefits from the Switch edition of DIII (Ganondorf costume, amiibo support for small rewards), local play (with multiple Switch units) is probably the most obvious plus.

The Switch makes that even easier with local play on the go. There’s no lengthy hour-long player-to-player tutorial to espouse, no provisos about “bad skills you’re not supposed to pick,” they can just select a class and go. Some argue that it cheapens the concept of sticking to a build, but as someone who has played plenty of hardcore aRPGs for decades I say “bring it on.”ĭiablo III is pretty much a perfect game to pick up with anyone and just play. Sure you aren’t going to get that Path of Exile minutiae-oriented perfect build feel from Diablo III as skills can be changed at any point. Here’s the thing about Diablo III at this point in time: it’s really good.

It’s just that streamlined, which, I know, is why some old guard folks feel that it’s so polarizing. As I geared up for this assessment I found myself playing the entire first act again without thinking.
