The mobs are well designed and fun to fight against. It was enjoyable to play through the story the first time. I’ve put a lot of time into Diablo III so I don’t feel the same way I used to and it’s tough to be unbiased but I initially loved the game and everything about it. Their visuals are also much more polished. But they are a AAA publisher so I don’t hold that against Grim Dawn. I'll give it a good 2 or 3 months period for the inevitible initial issues, bugs and balance problems to be found and fixed then I think I'll consider it.Well, Diablo III is a much smoother game overall. I'll wait and see if it crash-lands, or if it seems to be relatively smooth from the start. So yeah this time, no pre-order, no 'Day One' purchase. I will not 'risk' it this time, nor do I have actual enough information to really know how they will implement certain 'exploitable' elements of the game to turn into their cash cow. something they would have had 10 years to prepare for). I recall pre-ordering Diablo 3 back then (only to be confronted by the inability to immediately play the game due to server issues. But again, I keep my expectations relatively low. I do love the Diablo universe in general, although D3's story was trash I do see the 'value' in D4's. However, with this being said, I do worry about the game's Implementations of whatever it is they'll find to milk to the bones because yes, they WILL do something out of D4 that will cost money (and will provide shortcuts instead of grinding). The gameplay seems alright too, nothing I see that really bothers me.

To me the actual game itself seems alright, it's darker than D3 was, very comparable to D2's atmosphere and presentation (and art style) just very modernized with current visual standards.
