Diablo IV—with its excellent voice performances and stellar art direction—absolutely nails the dark fantasy vibe and aesthetic in ways that only Castlevania and Fromsoft titles exceed.

At times, the narrative is really interesting. At others, plot contrivances and coincidences are nearly distracting.

The gameplay loop is simple and satisfying, but it isn't nearly thrilling enough to encourage me to engage with side content.

Overall: a fun (if flawed) experience that's more than worth checking out on Game Pass.
