Playing: Diablo III: Eternal Collection

I made it to Act III in Diablo III, and the repetition of it got to be too much for me so I decided to quit playing. I started playing Immortals: Fenyx Rising, and I was really enjoying it. It’s a colorful, cute and humorous third person open world action adventure platformer that plays good with smooth traversal, and exciting combat. It offers creative puzzles, fun side activities, rewarding collectibles and a lot of abilities and skills to unlock. However, I’m not ready for another third person open world action adventure game packed with content right now since I just recently finished Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Valhalla back to back. I need to take a break from the genre.
I decided to give Diablo III another chance since it’s more of what I’m in the mood for right now, and I’m glad that I did because I decided to start over from the beginning as a different character (Demon Hunter) and play it on hard from the start and I’m having a lot more fun with it this time.
I was playing as the Crusader before, and she’s a fairly generic character IMO. She has a (purposefully) wooden personality, a melee weapon and shield and somewhat uninteresting special abilities/skills that I just spammed over and over again. She was part of what made the game less engaging for me since she’s not that exciting to play. It also didn’t help that I played a good amount of the game on normal difficulty which didn’t present any sort of a challenge whatsoever.
The Demon Hunter is a much better character IMO. She’s a badass archer that’s agile, and basically makes the game a twin stick shooter with her rapid fire arrow attacks and arsenal of kick-ass special abilities and skills. She’s just fun to play, and requires you to do more than just spam buttons since she’s a ranged fighter. It also helps that I’m playing on hard from the start, because just spamming buttons isn’t enough to survive the onslaughts of creatures, demons and monsters that are constantly coming after you. I’m having a lot more fun with the game this time, and plan on finishing it.
