Diablo III: Eternal Collection Reviews
The Devil is now on-demand in a very polished, content-rich port to Nintendo Switch.
One of the best Switch ports so far, both technically and in terms of how handheld mode enhances and compliments the original gameplay.
The long and short of it is that this is simply Diablo III on Switch. It's the same great game, featuring frenzied action, alluring gameplay loops, and few technical compromises
Diablo 3 remains a clever, rewarding, and oftentimes brilliant action-RPG that has made a near seamless transition to Nintendo Switch, six years after its original release.
Thankfully, the rest of Diablo 3 can be played offline. And online or not, Diablo 3 is one of the best games to be released this decade. There's a reason it's still getting ported to new systems more than six years after its debut. The pairing of Blizzard's design and Nintendo's hardware, both companies working at their finest, is undeniable. As someone who has been a fan of Diablo 3 since it first launched, airplane rides will never be the same again.
After six years from its initial release, Diablo III still feels like a great RPG (specially local coop mode), with lots of content and a very enjoyable story.

Diablo III Eternal Collection is the best version of a classic game, and on Nintendo Switch it makes more sense than ever, whether playing alone or with others.
Blizzard should be commended for the gestalt that is Diablo 3: Eternal Collection. If you've followed Diablo 3's history, you know the game walked a long, often bumpy path. It's been addictive for several years, but the option to play on the go makes this package a must-have any Switch owner, especially players looking for a game to lose themselves in for dozens or hundreds of hours.
A fantastic version of Diablo III to enjoy, this time, in the Nintendo hybrid console. And it comes with all the current contents of this title that has been designed to be replayed almost infinitely, and on almost any platform. The portable version and the possibility of playing at home are what we like the most. And least of all, the fact that we can not cross party with our Battle.net account. A small drawback to be able to enjoy a title that returns to feel like new in a new platform (and we must remember that Diablo III is a game that is already 6 years old). Almost nothing.

The PS4 version is still the best, but we're down to the nitty-gritty of which one looks better to reach that verdict and, honestly, to many players the difference will be an acceptable trade-off for the ability to play Diablo 3 on a handheld.
Diablo III on the Switch is my new favorite way to play the game. If you ignore the lame campaign, this is a engaging and rewarding action RPG experience that you can play for minutes or hours. And you'll enjoy it alone or with friends.
Diablo III: Eternal Collection for Nintendo Switch is a great version of the iconic role-playing game that feels particularly good in portable mode. An addictive gameplay, a variety of characters with unique abilities, nice controls, atmospheric locations, crowds of opponents and mountains of loot perfectly fits the hybrid nature of the Switch. Now you can play it anytime, anywhere.

Whether you’ve never played before or you’ve put in over a thousand hours, this game will pull you right in without a second’s hesitation.
Once again Nintendo’s little machine is getting love that the Wii U never got from third party developers and we are seeing so many great games make the transition to the Switch, with Diablo 3 being the best of the bunch so far, a near perfect port with an endless amount of content to keep you happy for as long as you like. If you own a Switch then you owe it to yourself to pick up Diablo 3 and go Devil hunting.
In short, Diablo III: Eternal Collection is a lovely port of a classic RPG loot-a-thon that keeps its feet firmly in the past. The execution is wonderful, but its gameplay is not something that will appeal to everyone due to the high level of repetition. Its visuals are clear and functional if not especially interesting, but performance is top notch to make up for it. If you're looking for a loot-driven grind-a-thon with more explosions of viscera than you can comfortably discuss with your mother, this is the game for you.
Diablo III is a comprehensive package on the Switch, but just not always the best way to play it all.
You know your beloved action franchise is in a state of mediocrity when it struggles to kinetically and strategically compete with games that it helped give birth to.
Diablo 3 on the Switch may be a graphical step-down and far from the best place to play multiplayer, but if you're looking for the perfect platform on which to sink into the end-game grind by yourself – there is no place better to play it.
It's Diablo 3 on the go! The added local multiplayer functionality and the fact that it's a thoroughly competent port make this an easy recommendation for fans of the franchise who want a portable version, or for newcomers who want to jump in.
