It’s all suitably impressive to look at, with nary a dropped frame in sight as the action gets busy with pyrotechnic flair. I went with a caster that stuns with sheets of summoned lightning.
Even from those first few precious skill points, it’s clear that you could take the Druid in a few distinct directions – make them a slow and devastating werebear, for example, or a wolf-pack leader. It is, like junk food, exceptionally tasty, but oddly insubstantial, like a doppelganger of something much more real.Īn example: I most recently tried out the Druid class, a beefy frontline fighter with access to shapeshifting, animal companions and a host of lightning spells. This might be exactly what you’re looking for: a vivid and well-realised hellscape to escape into, one that bites back just enough for you to feel present, but never really tested.
Diablo 4 may look and sound ominous, but in practice, it all goes down a bit too easily.
