This sense of fearful exploration melds seamlessly with the game’s mechanics, doubling down on this theme of mortal limitations. The game’s imposing art style bores into your skull with the inexorable regularity of a jackhammer The open world of Sanctuary is richly detailed and foreboding – a fact that the game’s consistent stylistic refrains don’t let you forget. Diablo 4 kicked down the door to my imagination and now lives there rent-free, complete with the obligatory contingent of skulls and gargoyles. The game’s imposing art style bores into your skull with the inexorable regularity of a jackhammer. Rather, you step into the role of a character who is, despite their role as protagonist, undeniably limited and mortal. The game’s plot, art style, and mechanics all skillfully converge on a single point: the conflict between dark and light, and the poor humans who get caught up in the cosmic mess. Also, changing your World Tier resets active Town Portals and Whisper bounty progress, so don't mess with your difficulty settings unless you're okay with that happening.Diablo 4’s commitment to the gothic is far more than purely superficial. Something important to note is that you can't play Diablo 4 with friends in multiplayer co-op unless everyone is on the same World Tier, so make sure your group decides on a difficulty before trying to party up.
