You may have even played Diablo III before - so what's the Switch version got that these other entries don't?įor one, Adventure mode, an endless loop through the main story, is open from the beginning.

There's also a story in there too, but you can safely ignore it in favour of murdering everything in sight with reckless abandon and still have a great time. That's a hell of a compulsion loop, and you'll be piling up pretty generous amounts of loot and cash as you go, giving you plenty of tiny dopamine hits from every single encounter. It's all about killing huge swathes of enemies, gathering up the loot and gold they drop, levelling up your character, buying new equipment, and heading back out to do it all over again. Diablo influenced every single one of them. If you've never played a Diablo game before, just look at any other action-RPG for an easy comparison. It may be a six-year-old game by now, but it's evolved wonderfully since its initial launch, and Switch users are getting by far the best experience of the game yet.

That's no bad thing, really - and Diablo III: Eternal Collection is proof that there are some games which absolutely deserve a spot on Nintendo's hybrid beauty. We're nearly two years into the Switch's life and it still feels like the console is playing catch-up, largely due to the vast number of ports that are slowly making their way over.
