So like many are right now we here at FreeStateofGeek have been trying out Diablo 4. Play one of five classes as you fight to take down the daughter of hatred.

Rating: 4.5

So we decided to take up this challenge together. Sam decided to play a Druid and act as our tank, while I decided to play a distant Rogue.

This may be an MMO but it definitely still feels like everything I have come to love about a Diablo game. The enemies can be tough and a lot of times we barely make it out alive.

Sam has her focuses on her abilities to shape shift into creatures. Using brute force to plow here way through demons and monsters that get in our way. When it came to facing off against a big bad she was always first to the fight. For some reason she was also running faster than me so that played a part as well.

She she got to a point she might be overwhelmed she could still call upon her animal companions to keep some of the enemies off of her while she focuses her attacks elsewhere.

Me on the other hand was laying out traps for enemies who got to close and dealing out area of effect damage to weaken them as they approached us. I chose to focus on poison damage and attacking from a distance. Its my belief to kill the things before they get to me, which means I tend to dodge alot and move around the battlefield while leaving fun traps everywhere.

We are both enjoying the story and have only made it part way through Act 3, but overall the game and stories have been fun. Being able to play a game together is always a highlight for us since couch co ops are not too common.

My only issue with the game is constantly freezing and booted out of the game sometimes. This could just be that some of the game is still a bit buggy. That is the only complaint we have really had so far.

What kinds of builds do you guys go for in an MMO? We would love to know
