    Game isn't good but it could be. Season 1 changes and additions are not good. Need to rollback some of the EXP changes. pre-season I hit 92. I'm at 63 Seasonal and I'm about to quit. We'll see if the NM dungeon loot patch fixes it today. Not worth the price tag.

    If this was a free game I wouldn't be complaining.

    I made an account just to write a review on this game because this game embodies exactly the type of game design practices that should not be allowed, especially with such a high price tag of $70.

    Diablo 4 is good to play once for the campaign. There's no denying the great visuals, animations, and a tiny handful of decent cutscenes. But that's about where the positives end.

    Diablo 4 is good to play once for the campaign. There's no denying the great visuals, animations, and a tiny handful of decent cutscenes. But that's about where the positives end. And that's about where your gameplay should end too. For that experience, I'd spend $40.

    The other $30 is like forcing you to pay for a game pass on the hope that they will eventually release decent content in the future. That's shady practice and I'd rather have it as a side DLC when it does come out. As it stands today, the endgame is an absolute joke. Lazy content, broken promises, bad balancing, and out of touch devs. Not all builds feel good and you really don't have a lot of customization. Items are extremely boring and drops don't feel good. Lack of quality of life.

    Everything about the endgame is a terrible mess, but the endgame is what makes an ARPG worth it. Pass on this one. Don't even think about it.    … Expand

The game is so bad in fact that this will be my first time making an account purely for the sake of writing a review.

    Every patch is released with the intent of heavily decreasing player power, dragging the game out, or both. Players are banned every day for unknowingly trading with bot-farmed gold or outright just for trading between friends. This latest patch disabled trading altogether, because they can't do anything right. The game barely functions, the business practices of Activision Blizzard are egregiously predatory, and it's not even fun when the game does work.

    After the campaign, the game becomes a grueling and ceaseless grind to get 1% stronger via paragon levels, min maxing, and micromanaging gear aspects and stats. Classes like Druid have 75% of the late game builds gated behind unique items that have a good chance of not even dropping by level 100. The world mob levels don't even scale up after level 75, so Nightmare Dungeons are the only viable content in the game at that point.

    At the start of the season, the journey menu would automatically hover the button to activate the accelerated battle pass, and there wasn't even a confirmation dialogue if you accidentally clicked it. You can't try to say that a company with over 30 years of game development experience made a mistake with that. It's moronic at best and intentionally scummy at worst. On top of all that, the battle pass doesn't even give you enough in game currency to buy the next battle pass. What kind of joke is that? If you bought this battle pass and the next one, then used your platinum from those for the 3rd, you would still be 2 plat short for the 4th. And the cherry on top of this turd sundae is the MTX shop.

    The best "prestige" skins are on par with the base cosmetics in the game, while the worst aren't even worth looking at. It costs $25 for one set of cosmetics for one class that has a good chance of getting nerfed into the ground in the next patch, and that doesn't even include the "accessories" they try to pedal alongside it. What a joke. You'd be better off spending that money on a strong magnet to fry your old hard drive with.

    TL;DR This game is a grueling chore that you pay no less than $70 for the privilege of doing, and the worst part is these greedy scumbags can get away with all of it. Instead of buying this turd, you should buy Risk of Rain 2 for you and two friends. You'll be much happier for it.    … Expand

    Story mode was okay, but just okay. After a couple decades of D3, I was disappointed by the loot. Gems only have 3 tiers of advancement... and none of them have socket adds that are worth much to a build. Legendary items have weaker bonuses. Items don't drop that are relevant to your class, which means finding useful items will be a dismal grind. Set items don't seem to be a thing atStory mode was okay, but just okay.

Set items don't seem to be a thing at all... and with the game scaling to your level, you never feel like you're actually growing in power. There seems to only be about 20 monsters and the bosses are non-memorable. There's no Diablo at all!!! So how they call this "Diablo 4" is beyond me. The open-world feel is a cool idea, but what it actually does is confuse you as to where in the game you actually are. Honestly, the side quests are more interesting than the story ones. Feels like I may have wasted a bunch of money on this one, but at least I only bought the standard version. It's back to D3 for me. If they close it down then I'll be deleting battlenet altogether.… Expand

Check the videos before release the game and compare your game. In most the time we run on the dungeons like a olimpic game. In the last patch this better but not enough, for example if you killed you reborn miles of the happen, sometimes in the start on dungeon, ok, its make sense to some penalty not to walk more time to fight. The patchs are slow to release, the game server is very lag, sometimes the screen hang and after release your are died And by end the elemental damage and defense its doubt if work well. If you increase elemental damage and defense on paragon board or your items and test after you don´t see anything. The damage is based on vulnerability only.

    It seems as though Diablo IV was hastily pushed to market, possibly to secure a player base before the launch of POE2. This rush is palpable and has likely impacted the game's overall quality and experience.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Positive: Story and artwork are good. Negative: Compared to D3 where set items, TONS of legendaries with interesting affixes and legendary gems existed and acquiring/optimizing them was a real motivation for playing, D4 lost set items & legendary gems and there are only ~10 uniques per class and therefore place you in a position where you're constantly checking every rare to see if it's worthy of copying a saved affix to, usually to get a tiny improvement. Even more glaring is the lack of social interaction - you basically play by yourself 95% of the time, in D3 you could meet and do rifts together easily, in D4 I think social interaction was put on the backburner - a player lobby might be a good idea. My impression is that D3 had more monster variety than D4 - I feel like I'm always fighting enemies that have the same offensive skills.… Expand

    Graphics are awesome and story is ok but this pretty much it. Blizzard failed Diablo 4 with poor itemnisation (supposed to be the MAIN part of this game) with careless drops and over complicated item random stats. Started to get bored at level 60 and gave up around level 70.

    The best part is that after 1.5 month of release of the game they added a bug where when you teleport you get disconnected, and inside activision forums they blame customers network while this has nothing to do with the customer's network.

    Overall this is an empty map without anything implemented inside, it is literally not even playable because of the teleport bug you get returned to main menu with a disconnected message. If you do not teleport you will not disconnect but that means you will have to really travel long distances taking even like 20 minutes of your time.

    After 3 months of release at the cost of 70 euro without anything implemented or working they announced a yearly paid expansion while the game is filled daily with new microtransactions.

Then they dropped the new update, which doubled or tripled down on these same values to make the game an entirely longer and less fun slog. GRIFTS used to be super fun to push in Diablo 3, but whoever is the guy making these design changes at the top is an absolute know who probably is known as "a numbers guy" and knows next to nothing about making a game fun and rewarding. I have never in my entire life been so disappointed in a Diablo game, and I have played them all since the original Diablo.

    BUT : I stopped playing. Why ? Lack of content, end game is frustrating I throw away 499 out of 500 drops.
    Lack of meaningfull drop (Uber legendary are for hardcore gamer only).
    Lack of boss (only 12 bosses for 100+ dungeon).
    Lack of build diversity, you have to respec to meta build to push (11 millions gold per total respec)

    And the BEST is season one patch : Nerf Nerf Nerf to the ground.

    My main character I spend 250h in is now demolished, after reading patch I do not see how I can play a decent sorceress.

    They nerfed XP per monster, they put limit to reach T3 T4 world tier (lvl 50/70). They overall buffed monster and nerfed player for one only purpose : hide the lack of content and slow down XP process to hide the fact that there is not enough content for a 3 months season.

    I am considering to extend my pause and may be to skip season one.

    Game launched in clear bare bones - as if content was deliberately cut from the game to most likely launch it later on on "season"

    Post launch patches/content is no existent so far. Game is plagued with issues and patches had made the game less fun and more tedious.

    The base game is good. But thats it - the fundation - everything else is either missing or very lacking for a 70-100€ game.

    Speaking of being on full-time, you need to be on full-time with always online requirements for no reason then more money for Blizzard.

    Story is boring, and people are getting killed before i even get interested in them. You have two cinematics in the whole games, and the rest is in-game cutscenes.

    You can only fight the bosses in the game once, because it's not like people enjoyed it in Diablo 2 - right?

    Then yea. there's nothing else to do in the game. Proceeed to random generic dungeon and farm random generated items with no personality. Nothing stands out, it's just a hamster wheel like World of Warcraft with no passion. Everything is micro-managed to suck you dry out of money.

    Mount is in the game to sell you more skins, now you even see your own characther in the loading screen so people buy more cosmetics. Other then that, the mount is AWFUL and cant be streered in any direction. You also have 30 seconds of cooldown on it because let's just waste your time even more.
    There's no way to join other people and meet new persons online, you only have a emote wheel for some reason.

    You have 1 stash tab that are shared with all your chars. You need to farm renown for some reason. (Because everyone wanted renown in Diablo. This isnt WoW.)

    You also need to farm 180 Lilith Statues because they love wasting ur time.

    Every NPC in the towns are randoms bots with forgettable names.

    Returning to town constantly and scrapping items so you can upgrade stuff later on makes everything even more tedious. Because why not waste ur time even more. It's not like the gems in Diablo 2 worked great.

    I played the campaign for 30 hours and never looked back. I made the mistake of buying the early access because i wanted to support Blizzard and play the game long-term but everywhere i look in the game, everything is just bland and uninteresting. This is a proof that you cant make a good game with alot of money if you dont have the passion and creativity as a developer.

    Avoid the game at all cost and spend ur money on other developers that continue to deliver good games such as Larian Studios or FromSoftware. Several good indie developers on Steam aswell.

    Dont buy the game. Dont support Blizzard.

    Old Blizzard is gone.
    New Blizzard cant balance or create games at same level as their history.
    Just look at Dragonflight and Overwatch 2.

    Everything in their games are designed to waste your time, and create problems to later on sell the solution to you. 80% of the stuff you are doing are just waiting and managing stuff in the game. 20% is actually playing the game. It's just arbatory hoops for all the players without any reason then to just stretch the game out and keep the player retention.

    It's a toxic mindset and has nothing to do with passion of making games, just to f**k you over as a consumer. You are a number-digit in their data and nothing else.    … Expand

In this instance, however, there's a strong case to be made that they simply felt players were getting too far too fast, and that crippling them would further sales of their season pass tier skips. I've never seen a worse patch, much less a worse first major patch, and unless Blizzard reverses course, I'm done with the game.

    Possibly I missed some but looking through my entire inventory every 10-15 minutes for stupidly small upgrades before selling or dismantling them got boring incredibly fast. I would have to check 4 stats on every item, check which is BiS for the build, compare to my current gear, figure out if I can reroll one stat to make it better etc. Most of the time when you can reroll a stat, you get 3-4 attempts and don't get anything good then it costs 1 million+ gold to continue rerolling so you just scrap it.

    Diablo 2 R was much better.
    The artstyle is nice.
    The inventory is not great.
    There is no map overlay.
    There is not much innovation for this kind of game unfortunately. Not even loot filters. God knows why.
    The game is not worth 70 USD/EUR. I think 40 would be more appropriate.

    I really wanted this game to be great but it just is not.

    The open world does not work (the way they did it). A format like D2 would have been much better.

    The game was best for me when it was challenging but that rarely happened - only when I was under levelled in a new difficulty for a couple levels.

    I like the story. It is dark but not as epic as D2 - but that is something I can live with. The voice acting and writing is solid.

    Once you finish the campaign the game gets really pointless very quickly.

    I played different characters up to level ~80 but then really lost motivation. I was asking myself why I should continue all the time and then stopped.

    Blizzard is the type of company that will use marketing and propaganda and deceptive game design to attract consumers. Unless you actually try to understand how deeply horrible their practices are you'll go unaware and probably depressed for some mysterious reason that you can't put your finger on.

    Game is a decent experience unless you want a complete game, it will always be bad so    Blizzard is the type of company that will use marketing and propaganda and deceptive game design to attract consumers. Unless you actually try to understand how deeply horrible their practices are you'll go unaware and probably depressed for some mysterious reason that you can't put your finger on.

    Game is a decent experience unless you want a complete game, it will always be bad so that when they release the good they'll do so with a price tag attached, by this way controlling the flow of gamers.

    Armor skins:

    Blizzard "developers" stated that the armor skins you can collect for free in the game are of the same quality but the shop armor skins are much cooler, which makes them much less cool which makes literally all armor skins in the game uncool.

    I suppose some people don't care about how the core game suffers because of Blizzard's intentional design in many areas this "design" is similar to the armor skins.

    And if you think about this more and more you'll eventually see this NASTY practice all over the place in their games.

    It didn't use to be this bad, but it is now and I don't see it changing.

    Every patch they release is an insult to my intelligence, they can't patch away their greed no matter how many useless "5% more/less for this thing" patches they release.

    Blizzard was promoting their Diablo Immortal game in a 20 minute "over hyped super high vibe omg this is the best" developer livestream before they were to announce season 1 features for Diablo 4. That's a nice way to insult your audience no? I remember vividly, hordes of players were screaming in agony in twitch chats.

    But again, Diablo 4 has alot going for it. It's just a shame that it could have been a much better game, had much better multiplayer features(lobbies, chats - ways to play together). Could have had better less incremental idle game loot structures(Diablo 4 loot makes me miss Diablo 3 loot, and sure Diablo 4 has further longevity compared to Diablo 3 loot curve but when you hit the end it's inferior to Diablo 3).

    But why talk about D4 or D3 loot when D2 loot was much better than both. D2 also had better multiplayer functionality than D4 which is very strange considering the age difference.

    Not once when playing D2 did I ever get frustrated over being phased around while joining friends groups or having to study for my PhD in porting science to understand when I can port to my party members in open world.

    But why make a good game when you can use a solid foundation to create cheap bait to hook players over and over again. And with this concerning how multiplayer is underdeveloped in D4, I'll assume it's on purpose because why wouldn't they.

    People would just simply love D4 too much even without changes or patches or seasons if it had the qualities of D2 but grander, and the multiplayer functionality of D2 but better. Why would we even want stupid seasons or updates then? We would simply be happy the game exists and enjoy playing it.

    Blizzard is a horrible, unhinged games company, and they'll go unregulated for a long time ahead and they'll evolve their horrid practices over time.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but the past few years of trying to enjoy their games has only enforced my perspective. Needing copium, pretending/roleplaying that I'm not surrounded by the horrors is what I need to enjoy their games now.    … Expand

    The actual game is decent, but the constant lag and poor performance since launch is bad. The new season arrives and it's worse, way way worse. If i can't play the game that I paid for I can't recommend it to anyone. I'm not a troll, just a disgruntled customer who shelled out £80. I feel like I've been scammed.

    Way to go blizz, I cant defend this even as game dev, even if this is a long term investment thing? Where is the communication, what is this patch? its quite literally the EXACT opposite of what everyone has been asking for. Way to show you hate us blizz. I learned after OW2 but man I thought a different team would be different.

    As a casual who still hasn't been able to make it to Lvl 100 (currently at 88), I don't understand the recent changes to the game.

    The lack of interesting endgame other than pushing NM dungeons to a higher number...
    The stupidity of reaching the cap of best gear droppable at level 60-70 and after that is all micro improvements.

    And after all this, the first major patch is a full nerf to every. single. part of the game to slow down players because is a Game as Service so they want to keep players only playing this game for 3 months each season.

    Sincerely, I have never felt this frustration for not being able to refund a game.    … Expand

    It is inconceivable that we pay a lot of money for a game and the company simply does not give a damn about its customers and consumers.
    The vast majority of the public, on all channels, on all social networks, did not like the changes and nerfs, every day asking everywhere for Blizzard to change and improve what they did and they just don't care about us.

I love grindy games, but when games as grindy as D4 implement drastic changes that require complete character rebuilds; one must take into account the time factor and cost to do such.

    Game is a proper slog after patch 1.1. It was pretty bad before, then Blizzard decided to double down on making the game as bad as possible. There's too many good games out to waste your time on this trash.

    While the future of the game is anyone’s guess, at present Diablo IV is a solid, but strangely unambitious take that fails to bring much new to the table. By the end of my travels, I was more than willing to put it down and take a break — somewhere amongst all the grinding, Diablo IV had unfortunately ground me down as well.
