    Diablo III excels in this handheld version and its full edition shows how much work and new content the authors have put in it after the release. In addition, its coop is fun. [Issue#291]

    As much as I love playing Diablo 3 on my PC, the Eternal Collection on Switch may very well be my new preferred way to play - nothing beats lounging in bed, romping through a rift with the light out while I should be sleeping - all thanks to Nintendo Switch and Blizzard Entertainment.

    This is the handheld version of Diablo that will please everyone. Diablo III: The Eternal Collection on Switch is a very successful and solid port of the 2012 game with all its content and updates. This is one of the best hack slash ever made, promising dozens and dozens hours of fun exploring, killing and looting in a magnificent dark fantasy world and the fact that you can play it anywhere and with anyone so easily makes it just irresistible.

    A fantastic version of Diablo III to enjoy, this time, on the Nintendo hybrid console. And it comes with all the current content of this title that has been designed to be replayed almost infinitely, and on almost any platform. The portable version and the possibility of playing at home are what we like the most. And least of all, the fact that we cannot cross party with our Battle.net account. A small drawback to be able to enjoy a title that returns to feel like new in a new platform (and we must remember that Diablo III is a game that is already 6 years old). Almost nothing.

    Well executed conversion of the demonic hack&slay that might not look as crisp as the other versions, but manages to conserve the spirit and the motivation cycles woven into the very fabric of the mechanics.

    This compilation of Diablo III and its expansions underscores how far the gothic hack n' slash series has fallen.

    The graphics are more than good enough and although the resolution can take a hit, the game runs at a steady 60fps.

    The only negative is that this is a full price release (Dark Souls was only £30). There is enough game content to justify the price but it is available much cheaper on other systems (Swirch tax).    … Expand

This game is notThis is a shining light on the way a hack and slash game should be made. You can play with friends and its very entertaining. This game is not locked behind progression paywalls, progression is based purely on skill and gear build.

    If Blizzard's mobile game that also has the Diablo title had the ability to progress in game with skill instead of "how much money you spend", it wouldn't have as low of a score. Please learn the difference Blizzard.    … Expand

    To be clear: I give Diablo III an 8, because I had fun playing it for hours over hours with friends online. However, your mileage mayTo be clear: I give Diablo III an 8, because I had fun playing it for hours over hours with friends online. However, your mileage may definitely vary. It might well be your favorite game on the Switch. And on the contrary, it might be a big shiny waste of money. Once thing is for sure: it's a flawless conversion of an unashamedly tripe-A game, with a very addictive game loop and enough content to keep you busy for hundreds of hours before you even begin to see the last of it.

    That extreme triple-A-ness, however, is also the reason why Diablo III feels ultimately like a shallow time sink backed by stellar production values. From the comically cliched story (complete with the campiest dialog this side of a direct-to-video movie) to the stubborn refusal to test the skill of the player, this game is very careful never to take any risk of any kind. The story mode is mind-numbingly boring: hour after hour of pressing mostly the same button or two, to wipe out a huge variety of enemies that all feel the same, and barely present any challenge even at the highest difficulty levels. Admittedly, the story mode is just bait for the more meaty "adventure" mode: an endless loop of collecting more and more powerful items to unlock your way to higher and higher difficulty levels.

    There is a lot to Diablo III's addictive "spreadsheets in a fantasy world" approach. It can actually be fun to study and then assemble the best build for your character, collect information on the Internet, turn a puny level 1 mage into walking death for the hapless minions of hell. Especially with friends, it's fun to live the power fantasy of wiping out thousands of big democ baddies before they even become visible on the screen. That same power fantasy, however, ultimately feels slightly draining, like one of those aimless free-to-play games. Like a Marvel megaproduction, Diablo III is fun while it lasts, but it ultimately feels like a colossal pile of pointless content content that's too big to fail.    … Expand
