    Unfortunately, this is one of the most disappointing games I've played in a long time. All bugs, glitches and laggy connections about 70% of the time, they found a new way to create repetitive boredom. It's pretty much the same game as diablo 3, with a bit of flash, and much harder. It is cool that the talent/ability system is very customizable, but its very difficult to find a combinationUnfortunately, this is one of the most disappointing games I've played in a long time. All bugs, glitches and laggy connections about 70% of the time, they found a new way to create repetitive boredom. It's pretty much the same game as diablo 3, with a bit of flash, and much harder. It is cool that the talent/ability system is very customizable, but its very difficult to find a combination of abilities that work well. Also, the enemies have infinite long stuns and fears. Their cool downs are way quicker than the players, and it doesn't seem that there is any diminishing returns for the player. The enemy is immune to stuns for a while pretty much after the first stun. It's just not fun to repeatedly be stunned until your dead, then have to walk all the way from the beginning of a dungeon every time you die. It's just annoying and has no purpose to the game. It's also very difficult to get gear good enough to beat any dungeons of any kind. As you slowly get gear that is better (you rarely get better gear after a certain point) the enemies get harder every time you level, so they usually stay ahead of you. It makes jumping to the next tier incredibly annoying and difficult. The PvP is just terrible, and they make you have to participate to finish the season missions. In short, the game is just way too hard for a game this repetitive and boring. There's no feeling of accomplishment. The company needs to stop focusing on new ways to charge their customers and focus on improving the game content.
    08/20/23 - I took a week or 2 break from the game to try to let them at the very least fix some of the bugs. Not only on my first event that I attempted did it bug out and I was unable to get the points for completing it, but it was also immediately and continuously still laggy to the point of effecting being able to play. Every time I hit a lag spike, when it fixes itself, I am swarmed and have to use every cooldown just to try to survive. I do thank them though. This game was so disappointing, I voluntarily decided that doing yard work was more fun and rewarding then this game. I now know that they have gotten so obsessed with nickel and dimming every chance they can, and that their games are just so repetitive and boring with the absence of any feeling of accomplishment, it's not worth the money or time you put into it. I actually have gotten a lot of projects around the house I was too lazy to do. My house looks great. I feel great. And I'll never have to throw $100 away on a game that feels like work anyway. So thank you again. This is obviously just my opinion, but I'd listen to me. Take care all.    … Expand

    Game needs a lot of features to become a good game,

    -Art and graphics - 10/10 ( Art and graphics feels really good and gave me a feeling of connection with this realm, graphic engine is smooth maybe isn't cutting edge but it has to work on consoles as well because its money on the end of the day :_

    -Sound and music - 7/10 ( The sounds for me was good overall, it didn't stand out like in Diablo 1 or 2, or games like Lineage2 or Frostpunk or Doom May 13, 2016 and many others which gave me so much goosebumps that I still remember the music and dialogues )

    -Multiplayer - 1/10 ( it might as well be solo game with bots running around )

    -Customization - 1/10 ( in 2023 this kind of customization might as well call it diablo immortals reloaded, messy aspect system because of the items drop, there is no random feeling of luck for progression items, there is no feeling of "i might get the best item in the world today" because of how item drop generation system is designed, I just didn't care about items I saw on the ground anymore in the end )

    -Realism - 4/10 ( Art and sound make up for this score but items and lack of connection with my character struggle through out the whole game makes it disappointment overall )

    -Playability - 1/10 ( games gets very boring after completing story line )

    My personal feeling about this game 3/10

    Which gave me overall score of : 3.857142857142857 so i will rounded to " 4 "

    Personal note:
    I do respect all the people who worked really hard and cared about this game to be perfect in any sense,
    And I do appreciate all the time you invested to try, however if games like this with budget like that are failing its mainly because how little of passion and dedication is allowed to shine through the end project when titles like that are created only because investors is all that maters on the end of the day.
    So if by any chance you are content creator please don't feel discourage by my comment,
    Just try to find a better company a team of people which are respecting ideas and are open minded while also being working on the project with passion and dedication, only then you find yourself among people worthy of your time.    … Expand

    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.
