Feb 21, 2022Great game that continues the story of the second part. Several interesting classes, new mechanics.
Interesting story. The first year in Diablo 3 was very good, but I did not really like how the game developed further. -
Jul 26, 2023lack of offline mode is a dealbreaker. if this was playable offline, we'd have lots of mods. modders could fix this mess of a game.
-
Jun 13, 2022Diablo 3 is a great game. Blizzard set out to make all builds viable and did a great job of it. The game is fun to play, relaxing and very rewarding.

Jul 17, 2023Kind of a shallow game. Not bad for playing it once and forgetting about it but no way near what another ARPG like PoE or Last Epoch can offer you (100+ hours high quality gaming experience)
-
Jun 21, 2023The story is nice, albeit short. However, it's not a hack 'n slash. I didn't pay for an old MMO like WoW. It's not worth buying the game if you don't have it already.
-
Jun 26, 2023This is a good, enjoyable game, but with flaws. They got a lot right - the music, the endgame content, the replayability of the procedurally generated content, and the depth. However, it lacks character customisation and lacks the depth of D2.
-

Jul 19, 2023Blizzard looked at all the advances that ARPG's made in the last 20 years. Ignored all of it. And decided to start from Square 1 again. This is like playing a 2009 game released in 2023.
-
Jul 20, 2023Worst update ever due to their lack of end game content, they prefer to nerf everything to the ground!
-
Jul 20, 2023This is the greatest letdown. To regress this badly, proves that Blizzard once again can and will kill their game in a single patch, just like WoW Dragonflight 10.1.5, similar treatment. Immediately uninstalled.
-
Jul 20, 2023This game is still in Alpha. It's not fun, it's buggy as heck, wildly unbalanced, the graphics are dark and brooding everywhere. The dungeons all look the same, the rewards that drop are pretty crappy even by diablo standards. Overall...it's just not fun. Go back to Diablo 3 or POE
-
Jul 21, 2023Playing a sorcerer… was not much fun before patch 1.1 - is no fun at all with patch 1.1.
Endgame is boring as hell…
I’ll go back to POE… -
Jul 21, 2023The worst diablo game in the series.Not as fun and not as good of a story as diablo I or diablo II

Apr 10, 2019The cinematics are great and draw you into the Sanctuary, but the dialogue and overall storytelling are lacking in comparison with its predecessor.
Its saving grace is the highly addictive combat and easy to use interface; just don't play this on the easier difficulty settings because never having to use the health potion due to being impossible to die can become tedious. -
Feb 26, 2019Just play Path of Exile, it is better in pretty much every way. D3 used to be okay, but nowadays it pales compared to PoE and other games like Grim Dawn.
-
Jul 29, 2023Average game for premium price.
Gameplay is really good.
I like new art style.
Rest of systems: loot mechanics, end game content, skill trees need reworking.
120 repetetive dungeons which are rifts from diablo 3.
Only 3 world bosses, each can be killed in 3 minutes.
No guilds/clans content, no challenging raids.
Game made by multibillion company..... no comments.
Meh. -

Jul 13, 2023NOT D2 :( guess there won't be a D2 anytime soon, judging how D4 reviews go, maybe we should just move on till company like old blizzard will give us what we want...

Jan 29, 2019I really don't get the negativity on this one. It's my favourite of the series. TONS of value for your $$$ with years of support from Blizz.

Apr 23, 2019Über hunderte von Stunden...
... mehr muss man nicht dazu sagen!
Beste Spiel. -
Jan 27, 2019Seems like a Diablo spinoff for children. The story is predictable and lacked the intensity and seriousness set by the original 2 games. Functionally a very well made game but is let down by many elements that make it unlike a Diablo title. Even the cinematics weren't up to the set standard of the original titles.
-
Apr 8, 2021They have updated this game to hell. I got a legendary item belonging to the first boss before I even got to him..... god this is lifeless. You can stand still without taking damage, it feels like a dead MMO
-
Aug 19, 2017Blizzard lost conscience for so much that they sell the game in micro pieces, and in fact at the start the game still gave hope for something good, this game is just a mistake of the universe, like all the games from Blizzard.
-

Sep 8, 2023A simplistic skinner box with uncharacteristically bad for Blizzard presentation and voice acting, even after many major improvements over the years.

Dec 6, 2016Nothing new, nothing PvP, now DLC... Really this is the good strategy for this game? I think if this game dont have the awsome brand seal is Blizzard, and don't have the increible name that is "Diablo" this game would had closed. This thought makes me very sad, because you have a product that is incredible, only with some changes in strategy ... Diablo still can! We will wait for you

Jun 17, 2018Играл уже после всех обновлений, поэтому игра понравилась. Хорошо, что прислушались к фанатам, и внесли корректировки. Единственное, чего не хватает этой игре, так это PVP.

Nov 2, 2017неплохая игра, но довольно быстро надоедает своей однообразностью, жаль что близы не смогли (или не захотели?) сделать интересный лейт гейм как в диабло 2.
-
May 15, 2018Легендарная игра достойна всяческих похвал! Затягивает на долгие часы и потом приятно в нее возвращаться!
-
Apr 14, 2019Classic hack'n slash, beautifully crafted.
Building a character is still fun with tons of items and special skills.
Although some sub-levels repeats itself (especially what's underground) and the difficulty is not that hard in hard mode, this is classic title that defines its category, with great atmosphere packed with non stop actions. -
May 27, 2018This game is good , but nostalgiatards rate it this low. Sure , not as good as diablo 1 or 2 , but still good.
-
Mar 27, 2018i used to like diablo.
it always give generous marks to familiar but good characters. -

Mar 10, 2018It's very, very okay. There are much better current ARPGs out there though. Save your time and play Path of Exile or Grim Dawn.

Aug 31, 2018I thought I'd check the user reviews for D3 and i saw that most negative comments are on the older versions of D3. But I would love to give anyone from the old versions a chance to read this and replay the game because they have polished it out and made it MUCH more playable and IMO enjoyable. Have fun!
-
Sep 5, 2018This game sold purely on it's name. The core gameplay is nothing like it's predecessors. If you liked DIablo 1 or 2 I do not recommend this game. However it is a playable generic hack and slash game. For more Diablo I'd recommend Path of Exile or Grim Dawn.
-
Sep 22, 2019As classes do Diablo III são muito desbalanceadas no jogo, chega a ser ridículo...
-
Jan 9, 2021It’s not really really bad but it’s not like diablo2. However graphics are nice.
-
Apr 24, 2019It is a pity that they decided to quit the game and not develop, but you can relax your brains by killing monsters.
-
Feb 21, 2019Quick, but enjoyable campaign, pretty fun playing duo with your friend 7/10
-
Oct 31, 2018Шедевр не пойму чем не довольны люди все идеально сделанно!!!

Nov 11, 2018Doesn't feel like a Diablo game, wrong art style, no atmosphere and game is watered down for casuals
-
Nov 17, 2018Hallo zusammen,
Diesem Spiel mangelt es an Inovtion und Spielinhalt...
Die Entwicklung welcher der Herteller betreibt ist, sehr langsam und kaum spührbar...

Dec 19, 2018Since the removal of the auction house and improved loot drops and frequency Diablo 3 has turned into a pretty good game. The end game gear is a lot of fun. Once you have used your favorite set piece on your character for a while the game starts to get a little stale but that's super super late game, and what game doesn't loose some appeal once you have played it that much.

Aug 6, 2019I thought it was a decent title. Leaving out the history of the Diablo franchise. D3 by itself wasn't half bad. It had a bad launch but overall I had fun and got my money worth. It was designed well. Didn't have any disturbing bugs or serious down time for hot fixes.

May 1, 2019A horrifying joyless cash grab. They just took all the great things that made D2 a superb game and threw them out of the window. What a joke of a game from a once great company. Would have gladly refunded to, but they refused me.
Added:
And yes, I had my 30 hours of fun. Doesn't change the fact that the game is a powercrept mess with horrible itemization and gameplay. -
Jun 2, 2019Best game of its kind since diablo 2 , All of the hate is unnecessary as this game nails progression and evil atmospheres / settings . I think I have over a thousand hours and still going . Everything just feels right and smooth ,no clunkiness or useless visuals like other games such as PoE. Great game very underrated
-
Aug 10, 2020It's a pitty how this game got crucified (rightfully so) because of a poor release. Since then, it has been fixed with a lot of improvements. I've put +1000hrs and it's been quite fun. Doesn't hold up to it's predecessor at all, but a cool game nonetheless.

Jul 1, 2021For me 7 out of 10. Got nice campaign. Good co op. Fun characters aka. CLASSES. Just an end game is not there. U can try it even on 2021. Maybe it hits u.
-
Jan 11, 2022Easily the best ARPG to date, IMO. Currently going through Diablo 2 as I started with 3 (along with the DLC). I actually owned it for a while before I decided to play as it was given as a gift, and thought it wasn't the type of game for me, however, I was wrong...very wrong.
-
Jun 29, 2020The long-awaited continuation of the superhit. A little short of expectations. The game has lost a certain gloom. The story is less interesting.
-
Jun 26, 2020Aguante el Albo!!!!!! Saben que el albo es el mas popular, eso saben.
Buem juego, el leo no lo juega porque es muy malo para los RPG -
Jun 26, 2020too vivid to its environment, failed to catch the power inflation. hard to say it has a advanced graphic than diablo 2. and the legendary error 37, impossible difficulty, motehr **** auction system.
-
Jun 28, 2020Could've been better. The story is weak, and gameplay is highly repetitive. Graphics are nice even 8 years after release. Art style though is not really impressive. Music is bland, can't recall any of it frankly. Controls and interactiveness are ok.
-
Aug 7, 2020At this point, I just wish Diablo IV will make us forget about that betrayal.
-
Sep 30, 2020Sincerely, I don't understand the low score given by users to this game. Obviously, it's not the best game of the world if we consider it as being Hack n Slash genre. The game has a great gameplay e good immersion. After some hours playing it, it can becoming boring and repeateable. I remmeber there was a good system of market to sell and buy itens.
-
Dec 24, 2021A shadow of its name. This is not a diablo name. its a bastardized casualized consolefied greedy game made by completely different developers to cash in as much as they can on the franchise. Blizzard has fallen, and it didn't start with diablo 3
-
Sep 13, 2021Symplified version of a great game, the result is that the game is empty. No matter the graphics, the game is simple and so boring. The game is a joke: easy and brainless. You never die, you have no heat and you have'nt a real choice to do, is brainless
-
Sep 26, 2021The nostalgic feeling I get form thinking about this RTS trend setter for so many games. Made me start getting into the genre I will never leave. Just epic.
-
Oct 2, 2021It’s sad how Blizzard used the name of the franchise to create a WOW wannabe. Diablo 1 and 2 are going to be always the true essence of the title.

Aug 8, 2023I know a lot of people would probably disagree, but this is one of the best games. The many difficulties allows for a seamless transition. The slaughter and combat is addictive but unlike Diablo immortal it is me doing the slaughtering all the time.I would highly recommend this game.
-
Aug 1, 2023Игра откровенно не оправдала возложенных на ней ожиданий, чего-то явно не хватает.
-
Aug 19, 2023To date, the worst Daiblo ever. Not from the graphics or the good work of the designers, but the absolutely stupid annoyances of the developers. The game doesn't feel like a hack and sly but like a boring job creation.
-
Sep 10, 2023It is hard from me to understand how in today's age of advanced technology and with Blizzard's experience + money, they have failed to deliver a game at least half as good as Diablo 2.
Awards & Rankings

Aug 31, 2012My one major complaint is that the game never feels very difficult, especially on Normal. There are frustrating moments, hordes of baddies, and increasing difficulty levels, but the same feeling of utter defeat never really happens as it did in the past.
-
Hyper MagazineJul 18, 2012For all the game's missteps, though, you certainly can't accuse Blizzard of phoning it in - if anything, the game suffers from the tendency to try a little to hard at times to evolve the design. [Aug 2012, p.61]
-
Jul 3, 2012When it works, Diablo III is the best of the Diablo games. When it doesn't, all it does is make you mad. [July 2012, p.54]
