All five have a similar top-down aesthetic with variations in climate and the enemies that live there. Once you pick a class and customize your appearance, you’re off to explore the five regions of this world known as Sanctuary: Scosglen, Fractured Peaks, Dry Steppes, Hawezar, and Kehjistan.

When Bob the Barbarian is retired, I’ll be a little sad to see him go, but I’m also eager to explore the other classes of Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, and Sorcerer-all of whom I believe won’t struggle so much with giant demons with large reaches. I plunged into my life as a Barbarian, and I wouldn’t recommend a class so dependent on close-quarter melee combat in a game that makes that very difficult as it gets deeper into its story. My first piece of advice: take your time with your character choice.

And as it expands over the summer with new seasons, quests, and features, it’s going to keep its hooks in me. There’s something so remarkably addictive about this game, one that’s constantly encouraging you to do one more thing. The truth is that “Diablo IV” is a repetitive loot farm of a game in which you battle many of the same enemies over and over again, hoping to get something slightly better with which to battle the same enemies over and over again. It’s both an incredibly fun game, and also something that almost feels like an obligation/job. As of this writing, I have plugged almost 50 hours into the basically neverending “Diablo IV,” an excellent RPG that brings the world of this hit franchise back for a new generation and the one just getting over their addiction to “Diablo III.” Usually, this review would have run earlier, but other content allowed me to spend more time in this world, and I’m now absolutely stuck here.
