I would be very surprised if anyone out there (if you ever play games) isn't familiar with the Diablo franchise. It's been around a little while and just about anyone even remotely interested in gaming has had something to do with it at one point or another. That being said, i was surprised to see it arriving on the Nintendo Switch.

Playing Diablo (or any game traditionally played on mouse / keyboard) seems a bit strange at first but the game is so simplistic at the start that you quickly forget that you ever used to right and left click on anything in these games. The traditional aspects are there of random encounters and of course, the game just wouldn't be Diablo if you were approached by an absurd amount of enemies all at once.

The sound is great, the story progresses quickly an in an interesting manor with old characters returning such as Deckard Cain and of course Satan. The one main aspect about this game that is incredible is the multiplayer. We played locally but of course, there is a massive online community just a-watin' for pickup games 24-hours a day as well.

The game is beautiful and has great sound and it remains entertaining to fans of the genre. However there are some downsides: If you are not a fan of hack-and-slash or more specifically, Diablo's version of it, there is no way you will be happy with the $60 you have to shell out on this game. the 1p game is a bit boring and the "equip" menu is a bit annoying because it is very sensitive in regards to the control stick that navigates the various portions of your gear. Also if playing multiplayer locally only one of you can access your gear at a time - i suppose that not many people play multiplayer locally anymore though so this probably only applies to old fellas like myself.)
For me, this game is worth it because I enjoy the random acquisition of gear that is so synonymous with Diablo. The fact that you can gear up while waiting to team up with your pals later is pretty fun also (if that makes sense.) Basically, i wouldn't expect anything groundbreaking from this title, but if you have the $60 to spare, I think it is worth it.
