Diablo aesthetics

Depends which game. First game I would say is definitely closer to 'Gothic Horror'. For the second game, 'Dark Fantasy' sounds fitting enough.
While the setting in Diablo 3 is still quite bleak, the overall tone and the power-fantasy really undermine any 'dark/gothic' undertones the game may have tried to evoke.
To me Grimdark requires a more oppressive, dystopian setting. Outside the demon hordes invading, Sanctuary is not depicted as altogether too harsh and depressing of a society. As always, this sort of discussion is very subjective.Would you consider Diablo to be Grimdark? | Posted by u/[deleted]11 months ago
