The act itself is long and filled with dark locations and I noticed a higher number of dungeons and loot chests than in the other acts, which provides some level of excitement. There isn’t a great deal of storytelling, but it provides some aim and motivation for going through to the end.

So it’s up to you, nephalem, to retrieve it and make Malthael pay. Unfortunately, right when the Soulstone was being hidden, Malthael, the Angel of Death (ex-Wisdom), disrupts Tyrael’s plans and steals the Soulstone for himself. Reaper of Souls features a fifth act that takes place right after Diablo and the other Lords of Hell are defeated, captured and imprisoned back into the Black Soulstone. And it pretty much succeeds, but for how long? But now that’s out of the way and here we are, the first expansion for the title, called Reaper of Souls, aims at revitalizing the game and bring it back to life.

It’s been almost 2 years since Diablo III was released and I must say that the game died slowly but surely mostly because of the auction house that killed the thrill of the looting.
