News::Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition Review | GES

"The Ultimate Evil Edition of Diablo III is out and finally available on the New-Gen system. A lot has changed since the initial release of Diablo 3 so lets see what makes this game our Recommended Title for this month. Im not the biggest fan of re-releases or remastered versions of games but I must say that I was quite eager to give Diablo III a go again, the first time I played it was on my Xbox 360 and my feelings were very mixed. At the same time I must say that my Xbox gave me a lot of problems back then. I havent been able to play it again since then. I was really excited to get the Ultimate Evil Edition on PS4."
