After its release Hades quickly became one of the most popular games of 2020. It's also the highest-reviewed game on Steam for the year. The story of the game is steeped in Greek mythology much the way that the Diablo games are in Abrahamic mythology, and the isometric action-packed gameplay is reminiscent of the absurd action of Diablo 3. Hades ' progression is based on acquiring more and more equipment like different boons that augment players' combat capabilities much the way Diablo 3's rune system works. The game's blistering difficulty also appeals to fans of Diablo that like to crank up the difficulty to Torment and bey
The Guardian Angel skill has the same downfall as Provoke and doesn't draw the enemy's attention. Guardian Angel creates a circle in which allies can take shelter from damage in. While inside the circle, allies will take fifty percent less dam
This ability causes the player to rush at enemies. This will cause enemies to get knocked down as long as they don't have any physical armor protecting them. More importantly than knocking enemies down is the ability to close the gap. Get the melee character at the front lines where they will shine the m
This ability can easily help take down enemies with large health and armor bars. The downside to this ability is the source point cost of it. It costs three source points to use so it will often only be used once per bat
First, each point in Warfare will increase the player's health. This will help them survive the onslaught of attacks they will deal with. Second, each point will increase the attack power of whatever weapon they choose to go with. This can affect wands, staves, swords,
However, there are certain exceptions. Players can kill the Dead Magisters with Pyrokinetic Skills since they have 50-percent Weakness towards Fire. Players need to note that this won’t work against the Harbinger, though. As such, Spellcasters with a ton of Geomancer Skills may be able to take on the Harbinger. However, given their inherent weak Armor and Health, they may still need to be a
To avoid the mess of dealing with the Harbinger’s deadly attacks, it helps players to kill its minions first. The Dead Magister Inquisitors and Swordsmen are a mess to deal with in both ranged and melee. And it doesn’t help that the Harbinger aids its minions when they’re in immediate dan
Seasonal content also helps keep players engaged. In each new season of Diablo 3 , Blizzard adds new challenges for players to undertake. Resetting a character or starting a new one at first level, players fight through the story or adventure mode to complete challenges that reward them with cosmetics like new pets and pennants or powerful new set-piece gear. It's a great way to rope in new players and keep long-time looters engaged with the game. And the local co-op, a feature brought into the console release of Diablo 3, also goes a long way to provide fun experiences in Sanctuary even eight years la
Divinity: Original Sin 2 has a little something for everyone. If a player loves the idea of sneaking around and backstabbing their foes, the Scoundrel skill tree is for them. Someone like the idea of summoning massive monsters to do their bidding? Go with the Summoning skill t
Morning’s Light is obtained from the NPC Corbin Day either by freeing or killing him. Killing him isn’t ideal as he can upgrade weapons later in the game. It’s not the strongest weapon in the game, but it is one of the better bows that players can f
The Harbinger proves that Scoundrel, Warfare, and Huntsman-based builds still work like a charm against seemingly strong bosses. Aside from physical attacks working normally against the Harbinger's Physical Armor, non-Fire/Poison attacks seem to pick off its Magical Armor as w
Players can actually take the time to reposition the Green Nixious Bulbs near the Harbinger's minions. At first glance, these actually constantly regenerate their health thanks to their poison gas. However, as the game teaches players, poison clouds tend to be extremely flammable. As such, players can use a long-ranged Pyrokinetic Skill to detonate the poison cloud. The impact will most likely eliminate multiple minions at o
Bouncing Shield is another skill that is rarely used once other skills become available. This skill is limited to players who want to bring a shield into combat with them. This helps increase their armor, but it also decreases the amount of attack power they h
Coming in next is Torchlight 2 , another ARPG very much in the Diablo vein. The SLG game collectibles's development team includes members who worked on the first two Diablo games. What sets Torchlight apart is its cartoonish visuals, a far cry from the stark medieval tone of Diablo, and its steampunk setting. The game also supports a broad modding community, harkening back to the early days of Diablo 2 . While there is a third game in the franchise, many players hold Torchlight 2 in higher regard than its successor. Another fun romp hacking, slashing, and blasting away, Torchlight 2 is a good way to kill time while waiting for the next big update for Diablo 4 at Blizzcon 2
