diablo 3 eternal collection xbox one review

It would sometimes feel like an eternity while I sat and watched those red diamonds glow at the bottom of the screen, but for a handheld version of such a large game, it isn’t all that bad. One major issue I had when playing was the tremendous load times.

The visuals are not anything to gawk at, but for a game initially released in 2012, it looks good. The Nintendo Switch does surprisingly well at running the game. The migration from an already-established save, with hundreds of hours, was certainly difficult and not something I can entirely recommend unless you are into grinding Diablo that much. I must say that starting the game legitimately fresh and leaving my tens of thousands of crafting materials behind was refreshing at first but soon became tedious when I had to start farming bounty caches with barely any good gear. The sometimes-exciting seasons are also available on the Switch where you can now compete with other Switch players for those infamous leaderboard positions. Rifts, greater rifts, bounties, Greed Realm and basically everything else too. The game also contains all the other aspects that its console and PC counterparts have. To a newbie of the Diablo series looking to play it casually wherever they are, the game certainly fills that role on the Nintendo Switch, but how exactly does it stack up against the already established PC and console versions? For starters, if you’re a veteran player coming to the Nintendo Switch you’re not forced to sit through the story, which can be tedious after five or six playthroughs, instead you can hop straight into Adventure Mode and begin building the ultimate demon-slaying machine. This includes the Reaper of Souls DLC, which saw players go head to head with the angel of death Malthael, as well as the Necromancer DLC pack which contains new areas, enemies and one of the most beloved Diablo classes, the Necromancer.

Diablo 3 has arrived on the Nintendo Switch and for those want to be on-the-go terror slaying Nephalems, this one is for you.ĭiablo 3: Eternal Collection contains all previous DLC entries in one convenient place.
