Speaking of builds, the real stunner came when I opened up my skill window for the first time and was met with the most complex skill tree I'd ever seen. When I'm using a melee build, my character ended up dying many times because I couldn't click out from the throng of mobs swarming her - adding on to this was what I felt might have been input delay due to connection problems. While I'm aware that movement in Diablo has always utilised the mouse, it was something that I didn't really enjoy, especially since attacking and movement used the same button. Instead of using the keyboard, navigation in Diablo 4 is done using the mouse, specifically the left mouse button. Immediately apparent was the fact that the usual keys for movement (W, A, S and D keys) were already in use for other purposes. With the ability to dual wield (daggers, shortswords or one each) and a bow as her primary weapon, the Rogue seemed like a good fit for my tastes and would be the one to take me through my first foray into Diablo.Īfter going through a simple character creation process, my character was thrust into the world of Diablo 4, left alone on a snowy mountain after the horse she rode on was viciously torn apart by unknown beasts.
For this build, only three of the five classes were available: Barbarian, Rogue and Sorceress.īeing an enjoyer of Overwatch 2's Hanzo and Genji, this choice was already made for me. Upon logging in, I was met with my first choice - picking my class. Well, let's just say a kid in a candy store would probably have less options than I did and choosing where my talent points went to felt like Sophie's Choice.įull disclaimer: I've never played any of the other Diablo games in the series before but I was curious to try it out and it was a whole new world for me in many ways. Prior to an exclusive media preview of an early build of Diablo 4 that lasted a week, developers told regional media in a press conference last Thursday (Dec 1) that there would be a lot more freedom of choice compared to previous iterations.Īnd I thought to myself: How bad could it be? A complete review will be out with the full release of the game. This article was written based on an early build of the game provided by Blizzard during an exclusive media event.
