Diablo III: Reaper of Souls offers little in the way of earth-shattering innovation, but the game is all the better for the new content it brings to the table. While it's unlikely to convert players who were unconvinced by the core game, Diablo III fans will gleefully devour every last morsel it has to offer.

The game has escaped being a dismal grind, and is instead a series of outstanding adventures, one after the other with no end in sight. Blizzard has reclaimed the dungeon crawling throne in my books.

Rise of Necromancer is an appetizing DLC for every fan of Diablo 3. This add-on comes with the Patch 2.6.0, which brings some new interesting features to the original game.

Reaper of Souls improves so much, so quickly, that gamers may too engrossed to remember to resent Blizzard's requirement that players remain connected to the Internet while playing.

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls is the game that should have been released two years ago. Even saying that, waiting patiently for this past couple of years, it was well worth it. The inclusion of Loot 2.0, Paragon points, Adventure Mode, and the Crusader has made Diablo III a bright and shiny new game that has finally earned that 85 we assigned to it two years ago.

Reaper of Souls, the expansion to Diablo III, adds a new class, a new chapter, and several very welcome changes to the original game's formula.

Ultimately, Reaper of Souls is more than enough to reel in former Diablo III players who went into a demon-slaying hiatus. More importantly, Reaper has the ability to appeal to the fans of Diablo I and II that were turned off by Diablo III.

You have to admire Blizzard's approach to Diablo III. They fixed it. The game itself now absolutely superb and Reaper of Souls finishes the job.

Reaper of Souls takes Diablo III and makes it much better, simple as that. I would highly recommend it to any fan who has decided to skip it. This is what Diablo III should have been!

While its current value is questionable, Reaper of Souls will most likely maintain a higher value than most games over the long run. And if Diablo III has as long of a life as its predecessor, then the few extra dollars spent now will have been a wise investment.

Diablo III is in better shape than it's ever been thanks to the recent round of updates, and Reaper of Souls is a product of those improvements.

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls ended up being just what I needed: A high-quality expansion that would compel me to return to (and enjoy) Diablo III again.

This expansion is Diablo III as it should be - should always have been. A welcome return to form.

Action RPGs may not be your thing but if the idea of bringing death to thousands of gruesome monsters in a forboding world burning in the flames of unending war sounds like fun, then Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls Ultimate Evil Edition is a shining prospect as a game to pick up. Its not a replacement for the already-strong PC version but there's definitely enough here to keep anyone going for hours.

While not quite able to beat the PC, this is by far the definitive console dungeon crawler.

The beta is over, and it was 15 million strong; now, we have the product of its revelations. With a thankfully redefined purpose and a much more enticing endgame, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls is probably the game you were hoping for years ago. It's not about competition, but cooperation. It's not about methodically stressing over your loot, it's about the thrill of the hunt. It's not about rushing to the top, it's about the sheer enjoyment of the journey itself. It embraces its core competencies and brashly ignores all other complicating factors—and, with few exceptions, it's a much better game for it.

If you have no issues running Bounties and Rifts for the foreseeable future, the inclusion of Rifits and the new difficulty system will keep players busy for quite some time. There has definitely been a large spike in the player base for Diablo III since the release of the Reaper of Souls expansion, but the true test for Blizzard will be if they will stick around after the couple of hours it takes to get through all of the new content.

Blizzard has made several key changes to the Diablo 3 world with the addition of Adventure mode, the changes introduced with Loot 2.0, the removal of the Real Money Auction House and introducing the Crusader class (which is tons of fun if you like tanky classes). These changes have actually made the game fun again and it shows. Adventure mode allow will bring hours upon hours of play time and it's only going to get better. The key goal was to extend the life of the original Diablo 3 and based on what I've played it definitely seems like Blizzard succeeded with Reaper of Souls expansion.

However, the made changes made can be a little overwhelming at times. It's left up to the player if that ultimately ends up being a good or bad thing

Diablo III was a bit of a miss, but Blizzard has spent time refining and streamlining just about every aspect of the game. Along with a very fulfilling new Act, updated loot system, and the addition of Adventure mode, Blizzard continues to show that when it comes to delivering content to their games they are still one of the best. Reaper of Souls is fantastic and is a must have for Diablo fans.
