I've been enjoying Diablo IV for the most part. There is just something about huge open world games that are slightly repetitive that relaxes me. Well, as much as you can be relaxed in a game about defeating demons lol.
I almost didn't buy D4 in the first place, but I figured if I spent anywhere as many hours in D4 as I did in D3, the money would be worth it. Plus I had the very pleasant surprise of finding out that one of my favorite voice actors, Anthony Howell, plays one of the antagonists, Elias.
The only real issue I have with it is the server lagging in the evening as more people hop on. It gets a bit frustrating trying to walk somewhere and then rubber banding back to your original spot three or four times, or being in the middle of combat and everything straight up freezing. I generally have pretty good patience when it comes to video games, but holy shit it gets me close to rage quitting.
In between Diablo runs, I've been replaying the Amnesia series. I absolutely love the first two games, The Dark Descent and A Machine for Pigs, but I haven't played enough of the third, Rebirth, to say if I really like it or not. I know they just came out with another installment called The Bunker, but I think I might wait until another sale comes around to nab it.
