The action recovered a few seconds later and we got right back to having fun. Even the couple of networking hiccups we encountered couldn’t stop us. With four players setting off crazy special attacks amidst dozens of monsters onscreen, Diablo 3 on Switch stayed buttery smooth. And though we tried like hell to bring Diablo 3’s 60fps framerate to its knees on the Switch, it not only didn’t break, it didn’t even flinch. The environments still look great!Ĭonnecting to other players for multiplayer – both in the same room with local play and online – was a breeze. When you’re on a 65-inch 4K TV (running in Diablo’s maximum 960p resolution), only the character detail suffers a bit. And it looks better than I expected it to, with image quality that suits the Switch’s built-in 720p screen perfectly.
Often literally, thanks to the explosive deaths that monsters suffer at your mighty hands. It is Diablo 3 in its final form, and it’s simply a blast. The Diablo 3 Eternal Collection doesn’t really offer anything new apart from a Ganondorf armor set, but it does offer everything: the Reaper of Souls expansion that makes you forget about the weak fourth Act, a seventh playable character in the form of the sadistic Necromancer, and every single update and tweak that’s helped Diablo 3 realize its full, enormous potential. What is an unexpected delight is how good Diablo 3 looks on Nintendo’s portable console. This is my third trip through Diablo 3 since its original release on PC in 2012 and expansion pack-fueled debut on Xbox One in 2014, and I have to say: it still plays wonderfully.
Not every six-year-old game can feel fresh and modern on a new platform, especially after you take off the 'Ohmigosh it’s on Switch so I can take it anywhere!' goggles.
