Review Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Ultimate Evil Edition (PlayStation 4)
Heavenly hell
Diablo III is samey and full of repetition in the best possible way. Sure, the package is packed with some truly stunning cut-scenes and the odd nugget of nonsensical narrative exposition – but it’s the never-ending combat that will keep you hooked.
