Diablo III: Reaper of Souls

Reaper of Souls is sinister-looking, sports great variety, and delivers all the looting and slaying Diablo fans want.

Reaper of Souls brings great new campaign content to Diablo III while also giving you tantalizing reasons to revisit the places you've already been.

The first expansion for the action role-player makes the changes players wanted - and a good few more besides.

The story is lacking, but great environments, a new class, and more freedom—partially from the free patch—make for a better Diablo III.

Reaper of Souls reinvigorates an already great game

Though Reaper of Souls' story additions feel too open-ended, the new Crusader class and Adventure Mode go a long way towards revitalizing Diablo's inherently fun and addictive core gameplay.

Sweeping changes to a game that was in dire need of resuscitation do not disappoint. Dynamic game modes keep players coming back for more

Despite Loot 2.0 and Adventure mode and the Crusader, Reaper of Souls doesn't quite reinvent Diablo 3 and the reason is simple. The core concept underpinning this experience, fun as it is in passing, makes for a game that plateaus quickly. Diablo 3's central problem is that it lacks long-term appeal and, despite Reaper of Souls having the best of intentions, it seems some things just can't be fixed.

Diablo III may have lost its allure after a first months of play, but Reaper of Souls has sucked me right back in again. Most of these additions should have been in the base game from the get-go, but there's no denying that they're welcome changes. Now that Diablo III has a new base to work from, I hope Blizzard keeps at it to make it the best they possibly can. Thankfully, Reaper of Souls gives me hope.

While not quite able to beat the PC, this is by far the definitive console dungeon crawler.
