Diablo

I'm not specifically speaking about World of Warcraft lore here -- it can be any game, from Deckard Cain's last act in Diablo 3 to the fate of Phoibe in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, from Ethan discovering the truth in Resident Evil Village to the final confrontation with Adam Smasher in Cyberpunk 2077.

Once I heard that Magi: The Gathering was including a Forgotten Realms D&D pack, my first thought was I'd like a sandwich.  I was hungry.

The central question of this post may seem on the surface to be kind of silly, but it isn't -- because every game is different, and so is every person who plays games.

Diablo 3 is one of the best games ever made.

Okay, so this one's hard to answer and completely unfair because I personally have like six different answers.

If you were born after 2000, first off, congratulations on making me feel like a shriveled animated corpse driven from its tomb, but also, congratulations on being younger than Diablo 2. The premier game in ARPGs was released in 2000, and we've seen a whole Diablo game released since then, 2012's Diablo 3.

There's a lot of talk lately about what constitutes a real gamer, what games should count as real games, and so forth — and frankly it's always just exhausted me.

Multiplayer sessions of Diablo 3 are a grand old time, but sometimes, you want to go it alone for smashing loot piñatas.

After spending several hours playing Diablo 2: Resurrected on a Barbarian and an Amazon, I can report that my first impression of the game is that it is indeed Diablo 2, just prettier.

Let's compare the not yet released Diablo 2: Resurrected with last year's Warcraft 3 Reforged -- why is the latter game seen as less than a successful remaster while the former has everyone abuzz with excitement?
