Time and time again, the Diablo franchise has both defined and redefined the gold standard for the action RPG genre, and the fourth installment is no exception. In Diablo IV, Blizzard Entertainment blended the series' signature dungeon-crawling with open-world, play-as-you-will exploration and densely tactical PVP skirmishes to create an experience that is both strikingly iconic and wholly new. That innovative gameplay sings even sweeter against the game's grimly dark backdrop.
