Anyone else actually really enjoying the new Diablo IV season?

I’ve been playing the new season for a bit and honestly… I’m having way more fun with it than I expected. The thing I like the most is probably all the stuff from the older Diablo games. Seeing Diablo, Baal, Mephisto and some of the old locations again is just really cool. Yeah, it’s obviously nostalgia bait, but I don’t really care if it works lol. The Runewords are probably my favourite part though. Finding runes again and seeing names like Spirit, Stealth, Enigma, etc. instantly reminded me of Diablo II. I’m not saying D4 should just become D2, because I actually like the combat and general feel of Diablo IV, but I think bringing back some of these older systems gives the game a lot more personality. It also makes loot a bit more interesting for me. Normally I’m at the point where I pick something up, look at the stats for two seconds and salvage it. With the runes I’m actually paying attention again and thinking about what I could make. I also really like fighting the old bosses in D4’s engine. Seeing them recreated with the modern graphics and combat is probably one of those things I didn’t know I wanted until they did it. My only issue is that I already know this is seasonal content, so there’s a good chance a lot of it disappears again. I really hope the Runewords stay in some form. Same with some of these classic boss encounters. They don’t need to keep every seasonal mechanic forever, obviously, but it would be a shame if all of this just vanished after a few months. For me this is actually the kind of nostalgia Diablo IV needs. Not just skins or references in dialogue, but actual gameplay stuff from the older games being brought back and reworked for D4. Maybe I’m just the target audience because I played a stupid amount of Diablo II, but I’ve genuinely enjoyed this season so far. Anyone else liking it? And what other stuff from the older Diablo games would you want them to bring back?
