Caption: Diablo Creator Criticizes Fast Progression in Modern ARPGs. Eurogamer reports that Diablo creator David Brevik has voiced his concerns over the direction of modern action RPGs, claiming that accelerated progression has “cheapened the entire experience”. Brevik, who now leads indie publisher Skystone Games shared his thoughts during an interview with VideoGamer. Reflecting on his experience as lead designer on Diablo and Diablo 2, Brevik criticized how current RPGs prioritize quick leveling over meaningful progression. He remarked, “Killing waves of enemies for drops and instant upgrades leaves screens cluttered with things players don’t care about”. Brevik concluded that shortening the journey to leveling up undermines the depth and pacing that made classic RPGs more rewarding, urging developers to reconsider these trends.
