Certain enemies broadcast their attacks that allow players to move away. The developers suggest that as players level up, other alternatives to dodge and avoid, for example, being able to dodge multiple times at the same time, can be unlocked.

The skill list the player can play in Diablo 4 has also evolved. As someone who played all of the Diablo games, it was a little difficult to get used to. The various options offered to players give them freedom to personalize their games, yet won't cause new players to feel lost.

As a Barbarian one could decide to concentrate on dual-wielding weaponry for speedier attacks that cause more bleeding damage or choose a two-handed slashing weapon to carry out an attack with a spin that lets me cut through large groups of enemies. The tree appeared to be an array of weapons, however there was a reason to it all as it was previously in Diablo games.

As is typical in the Diablo game There are many dungeons to get through within Diablo 4. But the game's new open world adds an extra layer of mystery to the experience. It was quite a surprise when I saw a cliff on the map and found an option to "climb down" leading to another part of the map.

While there's not a vast massive open world as Elden Ring or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild however, it was enjoyable to have a larger area to explore. Previous Diablo games had procedurally generated maps that were huge but restricted. Although Fractured Peak was still restricted yet it didn't feel like I was being confined to an area. There are horses you can purchase but only after completing an quest made available later.
