The Switch version of Diablo III will bring much of the same to our miniature console. Blizzard must have sensed my apathy and in a successful bid to get me playing again are going to offer Diablo 3 on Switch starting this fall. I had been doing this for quite a while until last winter when I’d had enough. This hooked me pretty good and had me playing for a month or so at a time, then wait until the next season and start again. Eventually, however, Blizzard stumbled on the Season model where you could start a new character every few months, race to level up, with new and awesome loot to discover on the way. Again I stopped after going through the new areas and leveling up a new Crusader. A couple years later the (only) expansion was released and I reluctantly crawled back in.

While the graphics were great and the mouse-destroying clicking was at the correct level, the ridiculous story, killing of the only character you give a shit about, and lack of any high-level content made it a bust. I bought it eagerly when it arrived, even taking a day off work to really sink my teeth into it. While the original Diablo and its much-lauded sequel are two of my favorite digital experiences, I have more of a love/hate relationship with the third installment.
