Diablo 4

I get future envy a lot when it comes to games like World of Warcraft.

Despite recent changes, leveling in Diablo 4 remains slow — and with only a month to go in Diablo 4 Season 1, a lot of us are still a long way from max level.

Even the games I love have things that I don't like. World of Warcraft has the interminable class balance problem that it has always had (and probably will always have) magnified by player perception that if a class isn't exactly as good at every aspect of gameplay as everyone else trying to do that aspect -- yes, I'm looking at you, tanking -- that said class is garbage and must never be brought to a dungeon or raid.

Diablo 4's General Franchise Manager Rod Fergusson has confirmed that the game will be getting annual expansions, a speedy pace considering that Diablo 3 got a single expansion in its decade-long run.

Mounts are a new to the Diablo franchise with Diablo 4, letting you gallop around Sanctuary with both speed and style.

Diablo 4 has been out for a while now.

Diablo 4's Season 1 added a new repeatable boss fight, Varshan, the Consumed, which first shows up during the new Seasonal storyline -- but after you defeat him and finish the questline, you'll learn how to begin crafting items that allow you to repeat the process, and there are some great rewards for doing so.

At Gamescom 2023, Blizzard announced Season 2 for Diablo 4, Season of Blood, is arriving October 17.

I might  be unusual for this, but there are games I play to simply unwind and vent.

Diablo 4 released June 6, 2023, and Season 1 started a whopping 45 days later.
