The story of Reaper of Souls is suitably epic. You can hardly go five paces without stumbling into an event, and there are conversations and pieces of lore everywhere. There is so much going on in Act V it’s incredible. Far from being sluggish in its pacing, it hits the ground running and continues at a breakneck pace, almost without pause. Pacing, in particular, was wildly inconsistent, and some sections seemed to drag on forever with nothing particularly interesting happening.Īct V has all of the good of D3’s story, and none of the bad. It had some good twists, and an excellent cast of characters kept me emotionally invested. Despite its stumbles and my ambivalence toward the Diablo franchise as a whole, I stuck with it through the ups and downs, and now, my patience has been rewarded. It evolved greatly, eventually solving many of the problems it launched with. Massive fiscal success, but panned by fans. What a strange odyssey this game has had.
