In all the ways that matter, Warhammer: Chaosbane plays very much like Diablo III.

That is, until a nobleman named Magnus leads humanity to defeat Kul and his army. Pen-and-paper role-playing game, and playable solo or co-op, Warhammer: Chaosbane finds the realms of men in disarray, ripe for conquest by a warlord named Asavar Kul and his savage followers. While it’s not as good as Diablo III, and has a lot of problems, it still manages to be mindless fun if you enjoy button mashing your way to victory. Which brings me to Warhammer: Chaosbane: Slayer Edition, the Xbox Series X / S and PlayStation 5 version of a Diablo III clone that came out last year on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. In fact, the only things that are good even when they’re bad are old sci-fi movies and third-person, hack & slash, action-oriented role-playing games that are blatant clones of Diablo III. I’ve had some truly terrible pizza, and I’ve watched enough Law & Order: SVU to know there’s plenty of bad sex. Mel Brooks once said that sex was like pizza, even when it’s bad it’s good.
