Don’t skip the campaign.

The campaign is incredible, we gave the base game a resounding 5/5 starts in our fullDiablo review.

Choose a class that suits your playstyle.

Don’t be a hero, pick a manageable difficulty.

Diablo 4 Review

The campaign for Diablo 4 is the best part

You’ll also notice the option to create a ‘Hardcore’ character.

This means if your character dies, they are permanently dead.

Loot drops from monsters, kill monsters for better loot, equip better loot, kill monsters faster.

So you could hit harder, better, faster and stronger.

Complete your class quest as soon as you’re able to.

Don’t just ignore these, as they will unlock a lot of power for your character.

Diablo 4 World Tiers

There are four world tiers available, but the higher difficulties are locked until after the Diablo 4 campaign.

These are:

7.

Legendary Aspects are what really take your character to the next level.

These are called Legendary Aspects.

Diablo 4

If you care about optimizing your gear, enabling Advanced Tooltip Compare is a must.

So, for example, You are playing a Necromancer using the ‘Blood-soaked mist’ Aspect on your weapon.

A new weapon drops for you that is a significant upgrade but it doesn’t have this Aspect.

The Codex of Power and how it works will be changed with the huge patch update in May.

Diablo 4

You can enable Advanced Tooltip Compare in the Gameplay tab of the Diablo 4 options menu.

For now, the basics of it are fine for the campaign experience.

This really represents what Xbox Game Pass is all about.

Hell, you needn’t even play any of the seasonal content at all.
