First time playthrough
First of all, I have played legendary Diablo 2 when I was a kid, but never finished it. So I decided to finish the game and see the story. Then I was thinking, why not experience Diablo 1 first and see the how all began. I bought the game with Hellfire expansion and oh boy, I was not disappointed. Diablo 1 is really a great game. Since I was used to controls from Diablo 2, the game was familiar to me. Gameplay was really good, although I missed some of the QoL changes that were made for Diablo 2, for example: there is not chest in Diablo 1 so I had to put all my gold, potions and spells on the floor near Deckard Cain. Also the hero movement speed outside of the Tristram was really slow. But those are the only minor inconveniences, since overall experience was really good. The gearing and spell system is also interesting since every hero can equip anything and can cast spell but there are some limitations. For example: A Rogue may cast a spells but doesn't have mana pool as high as Sorcerer. A Warrior can equip a bow but can't shoot as fast as Rogue etc. I won't go into details but I'll say one thing: if you've played Diablo in the past or not, definitely grab it when it's on sale and try this old gem.
