Professional reviews from gaming critics
Rise of the Necromancer doesn't bring an abundance of new content, but the new class is so good, you probably won't even care.
It’s bittersweet to get the culmination of good role design in a pricey DLC. I’m the kind of person who maxed out every single character in two weeks of Diablo III‘s launch, then moved into Inferno and Hardcore runs — also known as the target audience for a character drop. Every time I boot up D3, whether it’s for a new season or a new group of friends, I have the option to level up a new Necromancer, and that’s going to be invaluable down the line for me. But for everyone else who only dabbles in dungeon crawling, wait for a sale.
Diablo III has had a fairly mixed life. Launched to a huge reception, selling 3.5 million in its first day, great things were imagined. Then came the issues. Always online connection requirements mixed with too few servers and stability issues. The money-grabbing antics of the real-money auction house combined with the limitations on drops. I also remember playing it on launch. While I found it enjoyable, I also found it just that bit too linear and, frankly, boring.
