Difficulty Summary

Why Players Find It Difficult

Players describe the challenge in this game as coming mainly from a few specific areas:

Punishing enemy and boss encounters that require pattern recognition
High penalty for mistakes, often resetting significant progress
Combat demands precision timing rather than raw stat power
PC control schemes may add complexity in action-heavy sections

Who Will Find It Difficult

Diablo III is suitable for a wide range of players. Newcomers may hit a few friction points, but should be able to progress with some persistence. Players who rated games like Diablo IV, Fallout: New Vegas, and Assassin's Creed at a similar challenge level may find Diablo III broadly comparable in difficulty.

About Diablo III

Diablo III is the third installment in Blizzard's franchise. The game, like its predecessors, is a dungeon crawler in which the player fights against hordes of enemies ranging from beasts and undead to actual demons. The game has four acts, two game modes (normal and hardcore) as well as four difficulty levels: Normal, Nightmare, Hell and Inferno. A new addition to Diablo III is the auction house, where items are exchanged for in-game gold or real money, also usable to purchase Blizzard merchandise. The game features a wide array of achievements earned upon meeting certain requirements.
