Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve found ourselves playing over the last few days. This time: growing boredom, connections, and a good treasure map.
If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We’ve Been Playing, here’s our archive.
Diablo 4, PS5
I have a lot of conflicting thoughts about Diablo 4, and a lot of it is to do with being a bit bored. Look, I’m not all the way through the game. I’m level 42 with two characters – I’m playing one in co-op and one on my own – and because I was intentionally avoiding the story to preserve it for co-op, I had to rely on side quests and dungeon runs and world events to fill my time instead. And really, they’re filler, so what did I expect? But geez did it start to feel like doing fetch-quests in an MMO.
