    The game Story of the game until endgame is decent. The endgame is really bad. nothing to do until lvl 100. Even if you care you can only kill uber lillith, but she one shots you anyway. Ah the new patchnotes are really bad and makes the game worse and slower

    Immoral game design. One of the most controversial aspects of Diablo 4 is its use of gambling. In the game, players can gamble their gold at a variety of vendors in exchange for a chance to win rare and powerful items.

Literally all the items that come out are trash anyways. Ciders drop way less for some reason they said it's a bug. I think they nerfed it and got backlash so they pretended it was a bug that's BS. Now teleporting out of a dungeon is 5 seconds instead of 3 it's like they added time to it. There was a lot of bugs and broken things in the game. Did they fix it ? Hell no they rather nerf everything and they don't even fix the stuff ppl are asking for. The devs need to get their act together. Now no one wants to play hardcore because of the stupid nerfs. This doesn't even feel like a diablo game anymore they are trying to change everything and make their own game. No one wants that we just want a normal fun diablo game but no the devs only listen to their egos no wonder why they have such bad backlash.

    They need to hire devs that actually care about their game instead of making everyone upset. It's sad when a game comes out with patches and has backlash every single time. Doesn't that tell them that their BS isn't working ? Fire the devs and hire diablo 2 devs to save this dumpster fire of a game. All I gotta say is if the devs continue on being so clueless about their game soon they will kill it. One more thing stop showing diablo immortal stuff during streams no one cares about that trash game geez clueless devs smfh....    … Expand

    Had fun for about 40 hrs as a sorc playing casually. Blizzard decided to nerf my build so I spent all my gold to halfway respec to a decent build. By the time I did that they nerfed that build. Sorc is already garbage and the recent patch killed them. Blizzard knows nothing about their own game and it shows. Skipping season 1 and possibly even playing the game ever again.

You just can't do anything to avoid that. Also, you get one shoted by enemies you can't see on the screen. And there is a lot of walking from point a to point b without enemies between. For an Action rpg, it's pretty bad. The loot is not exciting at all, always the same mediocre items and unique items are useless. Those who are good are not humanly possible to find even by playing all days for a century. So you grind for a 1% better item until burn out.
    There is no social tools to group with other people so it's pretty much a solo game.
    I was hoping them to fix at least some of those issues with the first big patch but instead, they destroyed the little fun we had.
    And i was a defender of the game before.
    The patch make the game more slow, more frustrating more unfair. To quote someone on reddit: Diablo 4 is an ACTION RPG with slow paced action.
    It's a LOOT hunter with boring loot.
    This is an MMO with no social aspects.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review is more to tell people how to get refunds at this point. Read at bottom.

    The Good:
    -Cineamtics team still turning out great work, probably the only team producing things with any amount of care in them.

    The bad:
    The story: Every character is a literal idiot who can't seem to recognize pure evil staring them in the face
    The Gameplay: Ever watched paint dry but wished it was "darker and grittier" then this is it. Zero impact to any skills, slow as crap gameplay made even slower by bloated travel times in a completely dead and empty open world that exists to sell mount skins
    The Company: Blizzard by and large is the worst AAA games developer currently, dethroning EA and UBisoft by leagues.

    Refunds: If you paid by paypal. Call them and issue a chargeback complaint. Using the games ratings and news as evidence, you can easily make a claim that the product was not as advertised and failed to meet customer expectations

    Credit Cards: Call the company and ask to do a charge back citing the same reasons. Your mileage varies here because it's per vendor.

    NOTE: If you do this Blizzard will cry foul you violated their ToS and ban your entire account, if you're like me, this is a blessing. If they do I intend to then perform chargebacks on every game they now removed from my possession since their ToS is not across games    … Expand

    The game has a solid base, but patch after patch Blizzard makes this game worse for the average player, because 1% of players are doing too well, so they need everything to make gameplay longer.

The Devs have shown time and time again, that they want to move in the opposite direction of what the community wants.

    There's just a severe lack of content in every single aspect like combat, loot, crafting and social. This sounds exaggerated, but there are actually dozens of small indie games with multiple times the amount of depth in every single aspect of the game.
    Now, instead of even trying to fix the problems, the devs decided to slow down the game in every single patch. It's getting slower and more boring by the day, which definitely isn't the right direction here according to the community.

    If the game was just fixed it might very well be an above average game, if the devs worked together with the community it might even become a good game. They somehow managed to nerf the game from a solid 5 to a 2-3 at best, though, so lets not get our hopes up.    … Expand

We mostly live paycheck to paycheck but made sure to save up to buy it so we could play early and all that. The story was good, we've enjoyed diablo 3 in the past.

    The Bad:
    The game after level 50 is the same, everything takes longer, but that would be decent within the game progress(too much to learn). Then it comes a point where everything is slow and it feels like a chore rather than fun. You are not rewarded with good loot and you are punished for wanting to do hard "end game" content (if there is one) because of that.

    Overall:
    it's a good game until you finish the campaign. Then it turns into a grindy game with little to no rewards for your time invested. But in my opinion (I can be wrong) the worst was the out of touch recent patch note, because it didn't address the concerns or issues that the game has. It just makes que game longer and grindy chore with no rewards and some classes just don't feel worth playing.
    I can understand that is was a hard nerf because of the lunch of Season 1 and they don´t want the players to rush the content and stop playing. But this it's not the way to do it.
    As i said, i can be wrong because of how i feel the update based on my experience playing it now, but that's how i see it.    … Expand

    Was playing as a Sorcerer, the most under powered class by a long shot. Was looking forward to how this class would be buffed in patch 1.1 to bring it more in line with the other classes. Instead, Blizzard decided to gut all the other classes, and then on top of that, nerf Sorc again. The devs are so tone def, its astounding.

    The endgame is so boring with lack of content and lack of any activity that makes you feel like it's an enjoyable experience, and the itemization leaves you feeling like you are just wasting time. The world tier system was a good addition, but then they put artificial levels on when you could jump up to the next tier while simultaneously slowing down the leveling system making it even more slow and boring.
    You are literally expected to run the same boring content over and over without any expectation of rewarding loot that is anything but marginally better at best. Even the higher skilled players are forced to grind an abundance of low challenge content ad nauseum just to check a level box to get back to more challenging content.
    The developers have gone out of their way to suck what limited fun was in the game while introducing the new season just to have everyone have to start back over from scratch for a more painful and less fulfilling experience. I highly recommend people sit this game out if you haven't purchased it yet until the developers start playing their own game to see how awful it is and start making real quality of life improvements. It is all but unplayable in its current form unless you enjoy repetitive game play that is a huge step back from Diablo 3.    … Expand

    So i give it a rundown.

    Its not fun to see multiple offensive options reduced in power by 40% or more while getting nothing in return.

    Its not fun to see survivability reduced across the board without any thing to make up for it.

    Utterly patetic lines in the patch notes like increased the time it takes to leave a dungeon from 3 to 5 seconds.

    Really show how utterly incompetent the diablo 4 devs are when it comes to figuring out what players find fun and enjoyable in the game.

    I have played the diablo series since diablo 1 and i cant recall ever seeing a worst patch released for a game ever in my life.

    I am glad genuinly good games like grim dawn still exists in the genre.

    I for one has no hope that blizzard will even underatand what a **** they created until several years down the road.

    At that time with games like PoE 2 and BG3 having already been released i am not even sure its worth my time as a gamer to even give the game a second look.

    I would suggest anyone looking into arpgs to avoid diablo 4 for the moment until at least 5 or more seasons have passed.

    Diablo 3 has always been the ugly duckling when it comes to the diablo series but even that game has diablo 4 beat by leaps and bounds nowadays.

    For those that are new to arpgs i would suggest last epok, grim dawn and later when you want more meat on the bones PoE for your arpg needs.

    At the moment diablo 4 after the patch is not even a better arpg the wolcen and that is obe of the lowest bars to reach in gaming history.    … Expand

The gear was bland an uninteresting. After level 25 gear which I upgraded to 40 I never tried anything new because there was nothing unique or strong enough to replace them. The most unique items are so rare 99.99999% of players will never see them. Sorc skills were dependant on one skill so every sorc had to run frost nova to inflict vulnerable. That skill just got nerfed by 40% in the most recent patch making sorc utterly useless. Every action taken by the dev is a giant middle finger to the community. Then there’s the writing. It’s absolutely terrible and full of plot holes. For example, one of the strongest NPC’s who defeated a high level demon wanders off at a completely inappropriate time and gets caught on a pillar and he dies. It’s so dumb. The characters are stupid to the point of wilful neglect by the writers. There’s nothing relatable about any of them. The whole game is a giant cat and mouse chase. It’s just irritating and has no redeeming features.

    Simply put, Diablo 4 has failed to meet modern gaming expectations. There are too many issues with this game to say that it released in a true “finished” form.

    The community feedback has been and continues to be incredibly loud; for good reason. The developers stated “we are listening”, yet continue to make gameplay decisions that are starkly opposite of what their players ask for.

    The community feedback has been and continues to be incredibly loud; for good reason. The developers stated “we are listening”, yet continue to make gameplay decisions that are starkly opposite of what their players ask for. Simple quality of life changes that should have been implemented at launch, are no where to be found.

    Some quality of life changes that have not been implemented are..
    -reducing the gold cost of respec’ing builds
    -reducing the gold costs of rerolling items (after two rolls, the item reroll cost soars to over a million)
    -adding a gem bag
    -fixing the mounted horse pathing (currently gets stuck on word geometry that it shouldn’t)
    Etc.

    The most recent patch of 1.1, Blizzard destroyed the power fantasy by nerfing every single class in the game. Not one class was spared. This is right after most players were able to get to a point where they felt “kind of powerful”. Players asked for more content to sink their teeth into and instead received a penalty of killing monsters to quickly. Some other nerfs include..

    Leveling now takes 40% longer than it did prior to the patch.

    Weapons and armor have been weakened tremendously there by increasing the time it takes to defeat anything.

    “Good” items are absurdly infrequent.

    The always online experience is horrendous with constant disconnects and game crashes (poor optimization).

    Armor aspects effectiveness have been reduced.

    Damage reduction has been reduced by nearly 50%

    (Not a nerf) elemental resistance still not working

    Overall damage across the board has been reduced by 50% or more depending on the class.

    Overworld content has been gutted dramatically forcing you to do one activity (nightmare dungeons) to progress.

    Helltides shard drop rate nerfed

    Hell tide mystery chest shard requirement dramatically increased.

    That’s just to make a few things… If you check the Season 1 malignant gems, you will find that none of them solve the power fantasy issues they just compounded. The lack of creativity and game awareness of the developers is astounding. An elementary school child could come up with more interesting ideas.

    This for me was the last chance I was going to give blizzard. They seem to be purposefully ignoring their player base and are hell bent on ruining the Diablo franchise. Do yourself a favor and do not spend a single penny on this game. You will most certainly regret it.

    Learn from our mistakes and play something else that you will enjoy. Diablo 4 is a terrible iteration of the franchise and the studio should be ashamed of how they handled this.

    Itemization is trash. It takes 5 minutes going through your entire inventory just to throw away 99% of the items that you get. Super frustrating just trying to figure out if an item is an upgrade and can't target specific items for specific builds. Also absolutely no trading system so you are stuck on an endless hamster wheel trying to find items for the build you want. When you do finally find the items you want, you realize they didnt even help your build anyways because there are only a handful of viable builds.

    There is absolutely no group content. All content is able to be completely solo and there is no reason to group with others for challenging content nor is there a way to easily group with others.

    It's actually sad d2 was a more polished game. At least d2 had good grouping and trade features. Not only that but when you were done with the games quest, you actually farmed the cool unique bosses in each act to target specific gear.

    This game is not challenging and not fun. I feel like I got duped out of $70. I honestly want my money back. The game is AAA garbage

    Activision brings socialism to its games. Make things fair by making everything suck. Big companies care about one thing only. Keeping you playing so you buy more of their junk. Everyone made an honest complaint/review by saying hey we need better end game and some of the skills don't really allow us to make a build with them, but hey there's these other builds that work really well andActivision brings socialism to its games.

So what did Activision do? Nerf everything even stuff that didn't need to be and no addition to end game but hey don't forget to buy your battle pass so your character can look really cool while the game sucks. Big business destroys yet something else fun… Expand

    "End game? Don't make me laugh" - Blizzard, probably
    Game is a repetitive grind and the details of Season 1 just confirmed that, classic Blizzard move.

    Was a solid 8-9 during the initial beta(s). Then the first release had so many negative QoL and build changes that it went down to a 6. Now, the season 1 patch? straight 0. Kills even more builds. Changes so many fun aspects such as Helltides into more boring grindfests. Devs don't play this game at all.

    Knew game was bad back in beta, played it because of friends.

    Then Blizzard showing how bad they are now at making games. Released new patch notes. Honest truth knew they would do this.

    Absolute hot garbage. Buggy as hell. Never ending buffs and nerfs that make no sense to anyone.
    A developer that is totally out of touch with its player base and has proven that milking their player base for money is all they are concerned with.

    A game with limitless potential ruined by a company driven by profits. Designed to be many things but fails at delivering at every turn.

    These season 1 patch notes are a joke. Game is destroyed with the developer’s completely out of touch with the community.

    Absolute garage. Boring leveling phase the difficulty is non existent the enemies are to far apart and the game doesn't feel meaningful in any way. How the hell did I pay 100$ for this the most wasteful purchase I've done as of late.

    This game was actually pretty solid before the most recent patch. The end game loop was a boring past level 70 or so, itemization was pretty lackluster and there were numerous Quality of life updates they could’ve pushed this game over the top. Well then came the season 1 patch where Blizzard literally nerfed almost everything. Every class got a nerf, not including nerfs across the boardThis game was actually pretty solid before the most recent patch.

Well then came the season 1 patch where Blizzard literally nerfed almost everything. Every class got a nerf, not including nerfs across the board to damage, armor, xp, cooldown reduction and other various things. Just overall massive L across the board. I’ll be back IF they decide to make this game fun and not nerf everything to the ground but for now I’m out.… Expand

    Killed the game before s1. Nerfed everything, removing all the fun things from the game since the paid open beta called pre season.

    It’s almost like Diablo 4 developers are consciously fighting against everything that made classic Diablo fun. [Issue#262, p.80]

    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.

    The best Blizzard launch in a long time and a worthy game to be called Diablo.
