I can’t stop playing Diablo 4, and it’s all because of its exquisite build crafting and engrossing map design

It’s always, always a good sign when a game feels so good that you want to spend as much time playing it as you can. But an even bigger sign that you’re hooked is when you feel compelled to try things you wouldn’t do in a similar game; play classes you tend to skip, or build around certain roles that you never thought were exciting.

I’ve seen this before in Elden Ring, a game that convinced plenty of players to try magic. I’ve certainly found myself playing as casters far more often than previous FromSoftware games, and that’s saying a lot considering how much I play them.

But my latest obsession is Diablo 4, which isn’t itself a surprise if you know me. But I’m more taken aback by how many of the game’s classes and playstyles I continue to experiment with.
