Playing on a Pro Controller is responsive and easy to understand, and despite a lack of buttons, the single Joy-Con experience is much the same after an adjustment period. While this is a PC game at heart, it's hard not to love the flick of a joystick to make a character roll, something first introduced on other console versions. Those who want to slay and loot and enjoy the basics can let the game auto handle things like equipment and skills. It's still perfectly balanced with the casual side of it all as well. So does the itch to search out the next great piece of loot and grind away against the undead.

The depth necessities like min-maxing of skills and how they combo together with one or more players remains as engrossing as ever. Players pick from one of a handful of classes featuring close, ranged or magical combat, and then begin the pursuit of loot across a variety of game modes, experimenting with how the classes and different play styles clash or coexist. But we're essentially comparing a mobile game to a PC counterpart at this point, which isn't entirely fair-Diablo 3 is still a looker when played on the handheld, and a pretty one at that.ĭiablo 3's gameplay loop is easy to understand and accessible for newcomers. Playing the game mobile is where some things begin to struggle, especially in darker areas. On a big screen, Diablo 3 is once again colorful and varied.

Players aren't picking up Diablo 3 for the pretty visuals, yet the game still looks great for the most part.
