![]() Hell” story with cookie cutter, archetypal characters that throws painfully predictable “surprisingly curve balls”. Diablo is, a shatteringly dull fantasy world that’s locations form a check list of everything one would expect from such a setting. Starcraft too is off-brand 40K but at least it does a few things differently or develops its characters or universe in a semi interesting way.

Also, worth mentioning, the Switch version also includes the “Reaper of Souls” expansion… so if you justify spending money on these things, as I do in amount of fun time vs. So, to reiterate – I have just forked out 40€ to be able to play a 7-year-old game on my Switch, rather than sit at my PC or laptop.
