If you play online, you’ll share these spaces with other players, meaning that you can team up to fight the forces of evil in cooperative World Events, or compete with each other in player-versus-player matches. Instead of working your way through a series of large-but-disconnected levels, Diablo 4 will let players seamlessly explore five different regions. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.Unlike the existing Diablo games, Diablo 4 will be an open-world RPG. And that’s nice.įollow me on Twitter, Threads, YouTube, and Instagram. But I also don’t need to put it down to play say, Remnant 2 for the next few weeks. And I don’t have to be done, I can keep grinding if I want. Maybe Diablo seasons get a bit bigger in time, but right now I’d consider their length an asset, not a detriment, even if I was a little unsure about how quickly it all went at first. Then you go a level past that into a game like Genshin Impact with just giant content drops at a rapid fire pace that become almost unsustainably huge if you’re trying to balance other games along with it. There are seasonal activities, dungeons, raids, weapon grinds, PvP, a million things to keep you eternally engaged. A story is spread out over eight weeks and probably takes an hour a week to get through. So you don’t even have to invest money, per se, much less all that much time.ĭestiny seasons are a lot longer. But the actual seasonal mechanic and challenges are all free.

Diablo 4 has a $10 season pass for cosmetics (we won’t talk about the cash shop), the same as any other one in similar games. Things have sort of flipped (becoming a parent certainly contributed, for me personally). And while that is true to a certain extent, it is almost refreshing to see a live game demanding far less of my time.

Games, especially live games, need to keep delivering content. And I’ve pretty much done that.įor a long time, the refrain in gaming was that there wasn’t enough content. There are some ultimate endgame challenges that would take a truly long time, but I don’t really care about getting to level 100 or beating Uber Lilith for I think, a title? Again, my goal was really just to clear the battle pass and get a fun late-ish game Necro build.
