Let's hope it's better than Diablo III, didn't like the small maps, cartoony look and lack of customization.
I'm waiting for release, as I fully expect the launch to be troublesome (as D3 was, as all Blizzard releases the last decade) and I'm still curious if they won't introduce predatory microtransactions.Try the open beta, I can spoiler you you won't be disappointed
The first two betas had over two millions participants, I believe this other beta has been called to tweak the game servers to accomodate even more players than they originally expected.
It will be a bloodbath on opening day, I have no doubt about it. And we will forget about it once it will settle, about one/two weeks later and we'll enjoy what it already seems (from the betas) a great chapter in the Diablo franchise.
As per microtransactions, devs said they will be cosmetics only, including those in the season passes.
That model seems to work pretty well for Path of Exile. I´ve played it for many years but grew kinda bored with it lately.
I started playing again after 4 years and in the first weekend a Mirror of Kalandra dropped for me 
Insane, considering I have only played a 3 characters up to lvl 75-95 until then.

Completely switching the topic but, with your nickname I have to ask: have you checked the latest Monkey Island and if so, what is your opinion on it?
never dropped one in my years of playing POEI started playing again after 4 years and in the first weekend a Mirror of Kalandra dropped for me
. I´m jelly. I´ll send you a friend invite once my computer is back on its rubber feet
I got it, actually pre-ordered it with (useless) horse armour and all, I even pre-ordered the physical Collector's Edition (plus the Monkey Island Anthology upgrade kit) from Limited Run Games but I still have to play it. I'm replaying the other titles (or in the case of Tales, playing for the first time) and I'm currently playing Escape from Monkey Island, which I haven't played since the release, back in 2000~2001, and I totally forgot anything about it, other than remembering it worse than I'm finding it while replaying. Puzzles are a bit wackier than earlier chapters so I'm having a bit of trouble going through, without a walkthrough.
I read quite a lot of reviews of Return though, and they all basically agree it is pure Ron Gilbert. Which is a good thing, I think
Playing with Inscryption.
The whole thing is carefully thought out and cleverly designed, producing very high level of gameplay. Everything has a purpose here, even failure. Exploring it is amazing, pacing and the presentation is 10 out of 10. There are parts I wish I could return to try out different things. I fear I'm nearing it's end which already saddens me a bit as then I'll be in a post-Inscryption-state where I cannot experience this game again for the first time. Best to go on blind, but with curiousity and awareness.
The moment you launch it, it will grab you with it's addicting gameplay then tightens it's grip with the intriquing story. It is pure genious.

Started playing Zelda: Oracle of Seasons on the Nintendo Switch online as it has just been added, along with Oracle of Ages.
I think I need to either get back to playing on my Nintendo Switch or sell it.
I played around 2 hours into Zelda: Breath of the Wild over a year ago, and just couldn't get used to the controls compared to the keyboard and mouse I'm used to on PC. I'm sure it just takes practice, but outside of fighting and racing games and side scrollers, I'm pretty useless with those thumbsticks!
I did pickup a bundle of the older Diablo games during a recent sale, and I've started playing Diablo II Resurrected with an Xbox controller on my PC, which works pretty well. I think the last time I played that was at 800x600 on Windows 7 over 20 years ago, and that was certainly with a keyboard and mouse!
