yeah I know there are a lot of these, but I wanted to share my thoughts...
1) Game is fun. Incredibly fun. It is a little hand holdish, but this is what maybe equal to rescuing Deckard in D2, it was pretty hand holdy up to that point as well.
2) I love the physics. Some laugh about bodies flying, but I am loving it.
3) Random events. There are a lot, way more then I knew of from videos. When I stumbled upon and was almost killed by the groundskeeper in the monastery garden I was completely shocked. There are a few more, like the hanging tree that I really enjoyed. Never found the den of the fallen in my games. My only complaint about them would be the mass grave not containing and unburried.
4) Monster design is really cool. Lots of champions and unique monsters running around. Really love the treasure goblin/pygmy. They are great to stumble upon.
5) Weapons are pretty solid. Though the Flamberg looked a little small, I loved the weapon designs overall.
6) Leoric is fun, not a big challenge, but he isn't meant to be at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if he summons tomb guardians on NM rather then just skeletons.
7) I played Barb and DH and really like the playstyle contrast between them.
8) At first I was thinking I would need to use a gaming mouse, but once my mind got out of the way and I stopped trying to play it like D2, the skill system works really well.
Nice review ! I agree with everything you said and if you compare the skeleton king to the bosses in diablo 2 ,we can easily see the nice evolution of boss mechanics. I look forward to see what will happen in big fights like against Azmodan!
I too agree with most of what was said, especially the flying body part. I feel like it was a lil too easy but am looking forward to the rest of the game and its difficulties. They showed me in this beta that they have a solid set of mechanics working and I can't wait to test them out.

Cannot wait for this game to get here!
