It is nothing short of an abysmal disaster that has left the once-promising game in a state of chaos. It's as if the developers deliberately set out to ruin the entire gaming experience for their loyal players.

    One of the most glaring issues with this patch is the complete and utter disregard for game balance. Instead of addressing the existing problems and refining the gameplay, the developers opted to introduce new features that only serve to unbalance the entire game further. It's clear that they have lost touch with the essence of what made Diablo great, and this patch is a testament to their incompetence.

    The worst part is the "improved" class balancing which has done nothing but create an unplayable mess. Instead of making every class feel powerful and enjoyable, they have effectively nerfed the already weaker classes into oblivion while making sure all other classes are nerfed as well just so no one has fun playing. It's disheartening to see my favorite class (sorcerer) become obsolete overnight, leaving players with no incentive to continue playing.

    Way to go Blizzard, you ruined everything. RIP to a once great company that has now joined the ranks of Bethesda, EA, Ubisoft, and so many others.    … Expand

It's beyond unbalanced and STILL doesn't compete with Diablo 2 in any way. The ideas behind it are cool. The open world is cool. The graphics and sounds are cool but the mechanics are just trash. My friend bought this for me and I wish he hadn't wasted his money on it because I'm not going to play this. I absolutely refuse to buy any Blizzard games anymore because they all just suck. There's no original team involved and their games simply do not amount up to what the old team was able to do. They simply SUCK SUCK SUCK. I wish I could refund this game for my friend so he could get his 100 bucks back. So disappointed and I advise you all to not even bother unless you like having your hand held by some woke crowd. Get real! I'm over it. Never buying a Blizz game again and Diablo 2 was my obsession. Their remake is good. They still can't produce anything that beats it and it was the old team that produced it. Good job getting rid of your real gold diggers because now all yall pulling up is coal. I could scream.....… Expand

    Nothing about the end-game content makes me want to keep playing, at all. 60-100 is a slog. The "best" way to level in the end-game is to run nightmare dungeons over and over and over, which quickly gets repetitive. Crafting materials are rare, and Blizzard keeps making them more and more difficult to obtain. Class power is extremely imbalanced, and instead of buffing the classes that need it, Blizzard nerfs everyone across the board.

    If this is the direction Diablo 4 is headed, count me out. Maybe the game will be worth playing in a year or two but for now, unless you only care about the first half of the game, I'd recommend to avoid it.    … Expand

    What's better yet is that I was unable to even buy the game initially thanks to regional account issues which Blizzard Activision wouldn't resolve, after finally getting that fixed I wanted to split the payment between my balance and card, yet of course that is not supported on battle.net, they advise to work around that you can top up your account with the difference... When topping up I got a disclaimer saying that it may take 10 minutes to process my top up, they took the funds from my account right away yet it took multiple days for them to release the funds and make them available to buy the game. In the interim I tried to get a friend to gift me the game but he was also unable to purchase the game for unrelated reasons. It took us weeks to even sync up and finally play thanks to battle.net crap.    … Expand

Instead they made the game even more annoying, by busting armor and survivability. The public complained that they want resistances to be buffed, bli$$ard decided to nerf armor instead.

    Monsters are so annoyingly designed, like they have no purpose better to serve than annoying the players - the monster designs & mechanics bring no joy in slaughtering them but rather presents an experiences of "working" to slaughter them. and by "working" here i don't mean upgrading itemizations, i'm refering to "closing the distance gap," "getting into their bubbles," "AVOIDING THE ZOMBIE HUGS THAT WILL ONE SHOT YOU."
    It is just not fun.

    And the design of the monsters?
    It is lacking creativity to the max. seriously... It's 2023 and they're sticking with 1980 monster designs...
    A red soul-like creature being portrait-ed as a form of 1. Archer, 2, Mage Skeleton, .... It is tasteless, lazy, failing.
    Insects? no comment.
    I mean I don't want the developer team to go crazy on the designs but this is like they designed the monsters on a "bring your un-creative kids to work" day and swung with what got stuck on the nail-board. One of the kids must-must've phobia on FLIES.

    System bugs? The game has been released for nearly 1 month now.
    And my character still suddenly stops moving after dodging. It just stops.

    The game is incredibly boring, repetitive, identical in all its parts. The story is confusing, not interesting. The enemies all look the same, shapeless masses of beasts with no personality.

    The new patch fixes none of the current problems and nerfs all builds/experience... this makes it clear that nothing good can be expected going forward. Avoid paying full price for this game, as it is only worth it for the campaign. Such a shame.

    Campaign was fun before the patch. Everything else after finishing the campaign was kinda boring but not too bad...before the patch. Post-patch, everything has turned to **** So sad this game isn't playable anymore. I still enjoyed the pre-patch diablo IV even though it got tedious and boring after the campaign. $70 for 1.5 month of playing. Never again, Blizzard. RIP Diablo.

    Little, to no, end game content, laggy and a developer who has no intention of improving the gameplay. Season 1 will go into the books as one of the most brain dead patches of any game.

    The foundation was great, however blizzard failed to build on it.

Instead of listening to its player base, the team/s behind D4 push/es their own goals and thoughts for the game, alongside the business model they're trying to promote; That is, they're making players NOT WANT TO PLAY MORE, but PLAY MORE--a philosophy aligned with their business model that is to milk every cent as much as possible from players, hence slower gameplay, slower progression.

    But they will not be getting any cents! The time has come for players to unite and show these **** pigs who don't even play their own game that we are not their cash cows, and that our voices are pertinent to the development and success of the franchise.    … Expand

    I pre-purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition for 89.99. Mainly becasue of the scammy "Start 4 days earlier" and because of the peer pressure. Campaign was good. Reached 100 level. Never logged in again. Game was boring from level 80. I was waiting for fixes and content in Season 1 start, but the patch notes were an April Fool's joke. I should probably uninstall it now and never play it again.

But this is Blizzard.

    Despite bugs, an unfinished and badly written linear story that's only intended to slow down leveling, a prewritten fake username submitted Q&A for a dev stream, and highly requested improvements from the start, people were wrongfully comfortable with the problems described below before they worsened, and were excited for a new Diablo game (even comparing how good the release was to how terrible D3 was).

    This game caught the attention of most of my friends that play games. Over 90% of my friends list (casual gamers and hardcore gamers alike) were playing it consistently each night for the first month, which is rare considering limited free time and how many new games there are to choose from.

    Besides what was mentioned above, terrible itemization, lack of common sense quality of life implementation or social features, and over-the-top conditional affixes were main complaints and have been mostly ignored or shelved for empty promises to be added 4-6 months from now, when exploits caused from their patches are fixed within hours.

    The problems and worsening of gameplay have only grown larger over time due to unfixed broken builds (and a month-long blinding blight animation bug on necromancer that made partying with them undesirable), skills being nerfed or gutted to the point where they're unquestionably useless or outright removed from classes, a loot table that drops majority of items intended for people 20-30 levels lower than your current level, level caps, enemy density reductions, reduction of xp earned, increase of cooldown reductions, reduction of the main aspects that determine damage, and nerfing damage and damage reduction while buffing enemy damage in game-wide patches to "compensate for powerful" seasonal mechanics that don't equally empower players (especially nonseasonal characters that can't access seasonal mechanics, rendering all nonseasonal players' build options completely useless).

    Resistances to elements were added and even expanded on items and aspects, but they admitted that it's completely broken and would not resist anything by the time you have died, and fixing this problem was stated to take multiple seasons to resolve.

    Before the 1.1 patch, Lvl 120 bosses in nightmare dungeons were easier to kill than the Lvl 100 "pinnacle boss", and now they're both out of the question.

    Hardcore mode was already out of the question due to bugs and server problems that could delete your character without any fault of the player.

    This only shows that Blizzard believes unneeded intentional slowdowns, limits of stash tabs, more limitation on viable builds for a game that has a higher complexity of possible builds, and inconveniences are more important to prevent players from having fun while slowly grinding the same 30 dungeons monotonously from lvl 50 to lvl 100 for an endgame that does not exist.

    It seems like a team of people that don't play the game at all have completely ignored all feedback while lying that they were paying attention to feedback, instead looking at spreadsheets to find and remove the most popular meta mechanics that their development choices shoehorned players to gravitate towards without making anything viable to choose to play, not to mention completely gutting any capability to play or enjoy Sorcerer class MULTIPLE TIMES. The balancing team is not creating balance, they're making the game unbearable to enjoy across all classes and builds.

    Despite experiencing all of Blizzard's previous terrible games, I made an exception to purchase this game due to the baseline of quality they presented during multiple beta tests and preseason gameplay, but Blizzard does not value the time and money spent, feedback, or enjoyment of its customers.

    My friends that played this game every day for the first month were excited for Season 1, but since the latest patch notes have already stated they've lost hope and have moved on to other games, and the game's reddit is on fire.

    I'm not hopeful for the "campfire" dev stream that is scheduled one day after the new season starts with these new changes, and I'm moving on to indie games from passionate developers that listen to their customers' feedback rather than spoonfeed "this is what's good for you" decisions.

    The new state of this game further cements the fact that current and future game quality from AAA developers will continue to decline due to leadership that have no interest or passion in gaming besides how quickly it brings money in, and how quickly developers can release a game with depressing alpha quality state.    … Expand

    It's clear that the developers have turned a blind eye to the overwhelming criticism. Glaring issues pointed out by players remain unaddressed, and it's apparent that the devs are more interested in pushing their misguided vision than in delivering a game that resonates with fans.

    Diablo 4 stands as a testament to the incompetence of its developers and the devastating consequences of ignoring player feedback. It's a tragedy to witness a once-beloved franchise brought to its knees by the very people entrusted with its revival. As a long-time fan, I can only hope that the developers take this as a hard lesson and reevaluate their approach, but until then, I advise anyone to steer clear of this catastrophic failure.    … Expand

    - Also i got spectral (horse skin) like 20 time and i can't do **** with it cause it's account bound. WHY? I already have it...
    - The Skill Tree is absolutely pathetic. You have like 6 skills which 4 of them are garbage without damage or any good bonus. Yeah so everybody use the same stupid build. There is no diversity.
    - Aspects are piece of trash. Half of them are not interesting or useless and the good ones just got nerfed to hell.
    - But don't worry we made some new aspect for you to enjoy like 20-40 % movement speed when you moving AWAY from slowed or chilled enemies.... oh my god is this a **** joke?
    - No kill count
    - No gold count on pick up
    - No counter of destroyed things (There is a achievement for it) but i can't see how many things i destroyed... yep
    - No counter for killing spree
    - You have to make a new characters to stash your items... in cause you don't want to scrap/sell your stuff cause why the **** not
    - No stash search bar.. when pretty much every item looks the same yeah it so much fun to spend 20 minutes searching for what you need.
    - nearly a hundred and **** fifty dungeons but everyone of them feels the same good job
    - Yeah and for anyone wondering in the endgame you only doing like 3 of them cause the rest is a **** garbage without mobs ZERO EXP and loot just a waste of time.
    - Hellties are good only for gear once you get decent items its a waste of time again
    - Tree of Whispers is a joke droping level 15 sigils for T3 on 90+ levels... ??? XDDDD
    - Boss battles are about who can kill it faster and say im **** tired of this bull**** i quit (It's like 3 bosses all the time)
    - I had a hard time to understand which stats are better is it overpower ? is it vulnerable? is it critical damage? is it psychical damage or all damage... come on guys
    - Where are runes you promised?
    - Where is some kind of dmg dummy ?
    - Why do i have tab for materials but not for gems ? And why you can only stack them to 50 pieces????
    - It's currently patched but why cap materials to only 10k?
    - You can respect all skills at once but not paragons... why? You have to click every single one of them to start again holy **** **** that's just so depresing.
    - No addons maybe?
    - You have to go to 3rd party websites to check when is going to be another WB, Helltide or Legion... why?
    - Im not a fan of the one item one slot thing. I know it's hard to code this i made my own inventory in my own game but how does it make sense to have 50kg double hand to take same space as a ring.. why is it have to be so simplified?
    - It's pretty much pointless to go out of town and do anything besides ND and now it's even worse, much worse. You don't get any EXP nor a better loot.
    - Talking about loot is it just my or is this crap so boring? How can rare item be rare when it drops 20 thousand **** times with the same boring stats over and over again. Look at Diablo 2. You drop white **** shield with only +15 enhanced defense and who knows it's good af. No you drop "rare" click 5 times add aspec there you go. You little crafter theres your achievement. This just make me so sad, so depresing. It's like for people with 20 IQ to feel good.
    - Side quests besides the "story" ones are just boring. pretty much everybody skips them and the "reward" is a just a pathetic so bad you want to kill yourself after. Yeah, there you go, you spent 20 minutes doing this now you can have 1 **** VEILED CRYSTAL. xDDDD What are you smoking guys
    - The amount of gold for stat rolls on items can get to astronomical numbers to the point when its just better to drop the item again
    - Cursed shrines/chests/wells can be real good or another crackhead story. Sometimes it's rly good, so much mobs you can't see **** over all the effects etc. And sometimes it will spawn 3 demons and 1 sucubus. You would expect to spawn more mobs in higher waves. No next time you get 3 demons and 2 sucubus. I don't know what to say. People who designed this should be fired. I skip these, waste of time.
    - Resource Burn affix is so OP i actualy started thinking it's out of season april fools joke. Litery one mob can drain your mana/essence etc. to absolute zero and you cant doo ****
    - Cobwebs are invisible have fun getting stuck every 5 meters
    - F you im done

    Itemization is just garbage, random at best, futile at worse. They added MORE affixes to have sort through. To summarize there is a 5% chance that this review will lead to a 30% chance of slower downloads which has a 2.7% chance of causing people not to buy this game.

    Zero QOL Changes for the Positive in the update. Stash space limited, rerolls insanely expensive and tedious, xp grind up exponentially. All of this to cover for a lack of content.

    Cinematics and campaign and great on first run. Wait for a sale and some expansion packs before purchasing.    … Expand

    The blatant disrespect and lack of care for the community who supports this company is unmatched. Everyone here is a paid customer. Community feedback is important to maintain an active player base. Blizzard/Activision has continuously showed they do not care. In response, players will bring their time and money elsewhere. Do not waste your money.

    to put it simply, this is not a finished game. you will enjoy watching the cut scenes and the story line which is masterpiece. otherwise the game is still in developing stage, and you will be purchasing a beta version. expect drastic changes that you will not like. and your complaints not addressed.

    Diablo 4 - Hellishly Underwhelming Disasterpiece!

    Oh boy, where do I even start with Diablo 4? It's like they took all the excitement and joy of the previous games and banished it to the darkest corner of the underworld. I mean, I expected a game that would have me burning with excitement, but all I got was a burning sensation in my eyes from rolling them so hard. First off, let's    Diablo 4 - Hellishly Underwhelming Disasterpiece!

    Oh boy, where do I even start with Diablo 4? It's like they took all the excitement and joy of the previous games and banished it to the darkest corner of the underworld. I mean, I expected a game that would have me burning with excitement, but all I got was a burning sensation in my eyes from rolling them so hard.

    First off, let's talk about the graphics. You'd think with all the time they took to develop this game, they could have at least made it look visually stunning. But nope, it's as if they hired the artists from the early 2000s and told them, "Hey, let's make this game look just as outdated as possible!" It's like playing a game from the past, but without the nostalgia to make it enjoyable.

    Now, don't even get me started on the character customization. I thought we were living in the future, but apparently, in Diablo 4, character creation is stuck in the Stone Age. Your choices are basically limited to "Generic Warrior #1," "Generic Warrior #2," and "Generic Warrior #3." It's like they hired a group of clones to design the characters, and they all decided to be as bland as humanly possible.

    And the story? Oh, it's a rollercoaster ride, alright. A rollercoaster that goes straight down into the pits of disappointment. It's as if they took a copy of the plot from Diablo 3, scribbled all over it, and called it "original." I won't spoil it for you, but let's just say you'll be yawning your way through the supposedly "epic" cutscenes.

    Oh, and the loot system. Remember how exciting it was to find those epic legendary items in the previous games? Well, in Diablo 4, you'll be lucky to find a rusty spoon and a pair of old socks. The loot is so underwhelming that even the NPCs in the game seem to pity you when you show them what you've got.

    But wait, there's more! Let's talk about the glitches and bugs. I've seen more bugs in Diablo 4 than I've seen in a termite-infested house. It's like they hired a team of insects to do the coding. Game-breaking crashes, disappearing items, and enemies stuck in walls like they're trying to escape this train wreck of a game.

    And don't even get me started on the exploits, since day 1 the game was exploited massively by all the bugs found in the game. Fixed? Well yeah, after everybody abused them and nobody got punished. Imagine spending 300-400 hours in game to grind a working set for your build and overnight the build gets nerfed so badly to the ground that you need several minutes to kill the first pack of elites in any dungeon you enter. Was so satisfying… NOT!

    In conclusion, Diablo 4 is a fire that even Hell itself couldn't muster the enthusiasm to fuel. It's a game that seems to have forgotten what made its predecessors great and instead opted for a soulless, glitch-ridden catastrophe. Save your money, spare your sanity, and go play any of the previous Diablo games instead – you'll thank me later. Hell, you'll thank me now.

    Game had potential but the devs have ruined it more and more with each patch. As a Diablo-fan since the first game I think I can finally see the end of this franchise. It's more about making money than creating an amazing gaming experience nowadays. You learned Nothing from your playerbase OR your competitors. It's sad!

    The first negative review was for blizzard, very bad update, I was not so angry about the stolen account before, I re-registered and bought D4, I worked hard to collect even enchanted equipment, and directly changed the bad equipment, I never pursued top-notch gameplay, just played the game smoothly, why should 1% of people apply the method to 99% of players, I really don’t understand

    This game is a waste of time, because in order to feel it in the end game you have to get to lvl 50 painstakingly, and after that you will still have up to lvl 70 because everything is the same for every level you get. Early game is a pain in the ass.

    Despite being released as an incomplete live-service game, the launch of "Diablo 4" was a decent starting point with a well-done campaign and it was met with enthusiasm as players discovered a game that, although different from the developers' intentions, resonated with the community. But what started as a success soon became a baffling and frustrating experience for the player base.Despite being released as an incomplete live-service game, the launch of "Diablo 4" was a decent starting point with a well-done campaign and it was met with enthusiasm as players discovered a game that, although different from the developers' intentions, resonated with the community. But what started as a success soon became a baffling and frustrating experience for the player base.

    The Diablo 4 team, dissatisfied with how players were engaging with the game they had created, began to implement drastic changes. Data mining player behavior, they initiated a series of continuous alterations that shifted the gameplay experience in the opposite direction from even where it was at launch.

    Classes were nerfed, Mob density was reduced, XP gains were slowed to a crawl, and It felt as if the players had become nothing more than data points, mere rows in an Excel spreadsheet, with their preferences and playstyles disregarded.

    Players had essentially paid to beta test a game, only to have the rug pulled out from under them as the developers unilaterally decided to reshape the game in a way that did not align with player interests. The community's enjoyment and investment were seemingly irrelevant as the game underwent transformation after transformation.

    What could have been a transparent dialogue between developers and players turned into a one-sided conversation where the voice of the community was ignored. Trust was broken, and a sense of betrayal permeated the player base.

    The graphics, sound, and potential depth of "Diablo 4" became overshadowed by this erratic development process. It's challenging to invest time and energy into a game that feels like shifting sands.

    In its current state, "Diablo 4" serves as a stark reminder that player engagement and loyalty cannot be taken for granted. A game's success is built not only on strong mechanics and captivating storytelling but also on a respectful and symbiotic relationship between developers and players. Without that, even the most promising titles can lose their way and their audience. "Diablo 4" sadly stands as a testament to this truth, a once-promising game brought low by a lack of communication, empathy, and respect for its community.    … Expand

    It's just dumb and a total waste. Very lazy vision with this game and it deserves all the crap reviews it is getting.

    No gem tab at release? FAIL

    Stupid mount mechanics that make having a horse more of a pain in the butt than just building a character with high movement speed? FAIL

    No real customization with classes that forces you to play one way? Mega FAIL

    Crap loot after level 50 that just forces you to farm just to farm? FAIL

    No real good end game after the campaign world tier 4? Lazy and big FAIL

    Over complex paragon board and under complex skill tree? FAIL

    Stat boosts like strength for a Barbarian or Intelligence for a Sorcerer actually meaning something? Pointless and FAIL

    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.
