I didn't have many expectations when I initially bought it but the multiple patches over the years turned a huge mess of a game into something so special that I ended up sinking 100h+ of playtime and finishing all the achievements in no time.

Totally understand people's skepticism about whether or not it's worth giving it a try since I come from the same place as them but as of right now I can safely say the amount of gameplay, variety of things to do and overall quality it's definitely worth checking out.
Considering main game and dlc took me together roughly 130h to finish, I'd argue it's worth buying even outside of discounts since we now live in a times where AAA titles barely make it past 40/50h of total playtime and ask for twice as much in total price.

Can't imagine anyone in their right mind picking up diablo over poe the moment it fully releases.

Incredible

VaatiVidya about to go on the longest sleep depravity streak with that one.

Story so great it left me idling even after credits rolled out for the last time.
I wish everyone who decides to buy this title to persevere in the game throughout all three playthroughs.
I feel sorry for all the people that quit due to the struggle with intro boss, they missed incredible experience.

A love letter to the Souls-like fans.

Not saving Eva means you're gae

The story and character development is probably one of the strongest traits the game has to offer with tons of cutscenes, dialogues and skits that can be triggered in many places filling a player on many details about various topics. Heck even random NPCs have something meaningful to say in many cases.
Graphics are absolutely gorgeous considering how incredibly well optimized the game is. As for the music, to put it simply I found myself idling in one place just listening to it more than I care to admit to, which speaks for itself.

I recommend approaching this title with a hefty amount of free time to fully experience all that it has to offer as the main game took me about 90h to finish everything and additional ~20h for dlc.

The DLC itself is a nice addition to the story happening a year after the main game ended but I'd argue about it's worth of the full price. Go for it if you really loved the story and it's characters and seek more of their wacky adventures and interactions, otherwise wait for the sale as it isn't as big in content department as it makes itself seem so. Nevertheless I enjoyed that one as well and silently hope it's not the last time I get to see that group of goofballs go on a new adventure together.

I cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed my time playing this title.
The only real issue I have with it is that it eventually came to an end.

Everything I won't experience in my life packed in single game.

Very pleasant game experience!
As someone who haven't played the previous versions of the game I was fairly confused at first with the whole lore and characters around it but with a bit of progress and my own research out of curiosity it all became clear.
I absolutely love the sort of cartoonish graphics mixed with the elemental effects in each area. It makes a game feel kinda "light" even though it's very similar to souls games in many aspects. Some of the enemies were also very adorable!
Gameplay itself is fun and challenging with all the puzzles along the road. Boss fights with sins were quite unique and tricky so I can't say anything bad about them either. I especially loved the idea of hidden items which made me check every corner more than twice after encountering just few of them in my first hours of gameplay.
Overall it's solid title that is definitely worth checking.
