#58 Diablo 3

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/4/2/AABIPnAADj6m.jpg

I want to like the Diablo-ARPG genre...however, I don't LOVE the action (standing still to attack sucks!!!) and I don't love the RPG mechanics here either (being able to swap your spec anytime, is kinda lame--no permanent choices...).

BUT ANYWAY Diablo 3's Act 1 has some of my all-time favorite atmosphere of any game. Very outdoor Castlevania, but more fleshed out. Those Tristram chords, the beat-down town on its last stand against hordes of undead spooks and ghosts, the massive mysterious castle on a cliffside... So good.

In addition, the special effects on your abilities in this game, have insanely good JUICE to them. All-time great satifying buttons. My favorite is the wizard's "Arcane Orb", a gigantic slow moving orb, that explodes on impact, blowing up half your screen. I pretty much play the game just for this spell.

Does Diablo 3 actually fully work as a video game? I don't really think so. Dat atmosphere and juice tho!!!

BEST LEVEL: Early Act 3 when you're up on the battlements (screenshot). So cool looking, and chaotic like a fantasy medieval warzone, like Helm's Deep. The rest of Act 3 doesn't quite live up though.
