Like any Diablo game there's plenty of dungeons you need to conquer in Diablo 4 Gold. but the game's open world feature brings a whole new level of difficulty to the experience. I was surprised when I saw a cliff on the map and I was offered the option for me to "climb down" leading to another part on the map.

While there'sn't a huge large open world such as Elden Ring or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild however, it was interesting to have a more expansive area to explore. The previous Diablo games featured dynamically generated maps that were big, yet limited. While Fractured Peak was still restricted but it didn't feel as if I was being confined to a map. There are horses available for purchase but only after you have completed some quests offered later.

While playing the build I was drawn to play Diablo 4's story as well as the way it played, which isn't what I felt in Diablo 3 where it was the game's gameplay which kept me coming back but the storyline was quickly lost. When you combine that with an open world, I was even more intrigued to explore, while also imagining what I could do to build my Barbarian. It's the blend of gameplay and story that made the game I played with Diablo 4 so interesting and should be the same for all fans when it comes out.

Whatever region Diablo 4 players come from or what their preferred platform will be, Blizzard have announced via a press release that the next installment of the franchise will include games that play across platforms and without region lock. This allows friends to enjoy the game together without any restrictions. Although buy Diablo 4 Gold was one of the best-selling PC games of 2012 in the year that it was revealed that the Ultimate Evil Edition came out for PS4 and Xbox One, it significantly increased the number of players playing the game. In fact, it's the only Blizzard release for consoles in the modern age of the company.
