Short version.
I love the first two (2’s the best).
Not a fan of 3.
Not normally a fan of the type of game Genesis is, and combined with my dislike for 3, I passed on it.
Long version:
I’ve been debating picking up the Warmastered edition. Play through the original again. It was good fun! Haven’t played it recently enough to really talk about it, though.
I want to replay 2, but.. *sigh* I’m too much of a jamblasted completionist (plus haven’t gotten the ‘all quests’ achievement on Deathinitive), so if I play I HAVE to get all the stones & such. The game gives you 0 tools to find them, though, so I feel like I have to play alongside a guide. Aside from that, though, I absolutely love this game! I do prefer the set loot of the first, as opposed to the random loot, but that’s a minor complaint.
I really want to like 3. I wasn’t too hyped about the story—hunting down the seven deadly sins seemed so disconnected from everything else. But, this might be my favorite incarnation of the sins, ever, and the way they handled the powers was actually kinda cool.
But it just wasn’t fun. It felt like an awkward fusion of Dark Souls & Darksiders which just didn’t work. Regular combat was.. Okay, but every single boss was just obnoxious. I don’t remember a lot of puzzles either, which was sad.
[spoiler]Plus, killing your horse was so dumb. I’m a horseman jamblasted, I want to ride my horse![/spoiler]
Made it to Gluttony before quitting.
As I said, I’m not too big a fan of Diablo style games, so I haven’t really picked up Genesis. I will admit, though, my friend roped me into playing Minecraft Dungeons (can’t so no when he bought it for me...), and it was more fun than I was expecting. Made me tempted to try Genesis, but I don’t have $40 to spend right now.

Genesis has been a party for me and my friends that I’ve invited to play with me. I highly recommend it, especially if you like war and want to see more of strife. Strife is a really fun character, and I absolutely love some of the bosses. Not to mention the soundtrack is just amazing. If you want to hear one of my favorite songs from it, look up the Astarte fight song. Although I haven’t played the others, this game has made me really want to, as I’ve definitely started to like the characters and world

I’ll keep it in mind, thanks! Hopefully it goes on sale, soon!
