Defeat Diablo, the Lord of Terror in this third installment of the Diablo franchise.
Games this thoughtfully crafted don’t happen very often, and the care that Blizzard has taken with Diablo 3 shows in every facet of its design and execution. It might not be perfect, but after 45 hours, I’m not sure where it missteps, and after 45 hours, I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of what it has to offer. Diablo 3 is almost evil in how high a bar it’s set for every PC action RPG to follow, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see that bar remain for a very long time.

It’s such a rare thing that my interest in continuing to play a game keeps increasing not just toward the end of the game but past the end, yet somehow the more Diablo I play, the more Diablo I want to play. It doesn’t do anything especially new with the action-RPG genre, but it does all the old things very, very well, and sometimes that’s more than enough.
