If someone wonders if it's worth it now, it's still not a 9/10 game and probably won't be in the next year. However the developer listens to the player base which is now showing patch after patch. We are getting smoother and smoother overall systems and general mechanics. It's true some individual elements and details still need a tweak or a couple of tweaks. But with. the high speed they are. delivering fixes and new content it will be a solid game in 2-3 months.
    At the moment its 80% there, unbiased, the game is actually fun and engaging now. So whoever is wondering should they get it. Well in this state mostly Yes. By the time you learn the mechanics and level up a couple of characters, and enjoy the high tier content which again is 80% fine at the moment, in 2-3 months it will be well polished and great. From there until the end of the year it will only grow from great. It's going to be awesome from the looks of the quick and regular updates. So it don't hurt you if you already have a few max level characters ready by that time. It will only allow you to jump in the. newest challenges, instantly. Is it OK to be released unfinished like a late beta? Well probably not, I know this made a lot of people angry.
    At the same time this is one of the best ways to customize the systems along with the little details they way the players want it. So we not only got a game here, we got a game that is being changed every week, for us. If you don't want to get what you want, we'll then don't get it.

    From me a big thanks to Blizzard, they exceeded my expectations.    … Expand

    I liked DIABLO IV. I'm still an inexperienced level 43 Necromancer, but I have already managed to appreciate the overall story, side quests, the atmosphere of certain locations, the charisma of the main characters in the game, the charm of the narrative, the excellent stylistics of the game. My personal rating is a solid 8 out of 10.

    I'm shocked to see there're so many haters on Blizzard or the Diablo franchise. Diablo IV might not be a masterpiece when you compare it to all other game genres, considering gamers have just played games like Zelda, Elden Ring, God of War, etc. It's just been great years for gamers, and Diablo IV might be under the awful circumstance to live up to that high of expectation.

    However, the truth is, Diablo IV totally nails it in its own genre. I know people might get confused when it comes to genre of Diablo IV, and I am definitely not a very pro game reviewer, and this is just my own opinion. Diablo IV is now ranked 2nd on my MMORPG list (come afters FFXIV), and the 1st on Roguelike game.

    If you have read other negative comments here, and getting worried about if you should get Diablo IV, I'm telling you that Diablo IV has not been treated fairly in this time. If Hogwart's Legacy is getting praised on its openworld design, Diablo IV should earn the same credit too. Although the roguelike nature of this game might limit how player explore the world, once again, they nail it in its own genre.    … Expand

    Waited a long time for Blizzard to release the 4th installment to the Diablo series. Blizzard did a great job and I'm loving the game and cant wait to see what else is still to come. Wasn't thrilled about paying early to play early and having login issues but they were resolved quickly.

    An amazing game, the one game which restored my faith that new Blizzard could produce something dark, serious, immersive, near flawless in gameplay and, most importantly, not splattered with rainbow vomit propaganda all over it. I'm too busy playing it, so I'll give some quick points:

    1) Story - most likely the best on the ARPG market at the moment, it had several weak moments, but overall it's a solid 8/10.
    2) Graphics - best in the genre by far.
    3) Combat - smoothest and cleanest in the genre by far, Blizzard polish.
    4) Build Variety - weak at first glance, much better as you progress to the end game and start dropping particular legendary effects, near infinite possibilities at end game.
    5) Immersion - this cannot be understated, I have never played a more immersive game with a better built world than this, and I've played all other ARPGs on the market, they outdid themselves.
    6) Pacing - slower and more immersive pacing on the contrary of zoom zoom style of D3 rifts and POE mapping, you actually see whats going on on your screen and you're not getting a seizure. Battles feel weightly and impactful. Main reason I love it so much. Note, this changes at the max endgame as the game gets faster, but still nowhere near as POE or D3.
    7) Now for the minus - monetization, extremely greedy box price and store prices for cosmetics, but that's the only problem I see with the game
    8) 0 woke garbage, good marketing, they know their target audience for Diablo.

    This is a must buy if you're an ARPG fan.    … Expand

    A worthy successor. It looks great, gameplay is excellent and the monetization is only for skins.

    Diablo IV is a vast improvement to the franchise, perfectly mixing the best features of 2 and 3, while adding lots of things on top that make the experience even better. The story is great, the combat is fun and deep, the world offers great explorations and things to do. Highly Recommended. It's sad that gamers, who have issues with certain aspects can't be reasonable with their reviews.

    This is a review from a long time fan of the series. I don't have a log of the hours that I spent on Diablo 2, but given that I played it consistently for five years, and then on and off for the following fifteen years, I'm willing to bet its well over a thousand hours. Similarly, I invested hundreds upon hundreds of hours into Diablo 3 across multiple platforms. In addition to those, IThis is a review from a long time fan of the series. I don't have a log of the hours that I spent on Diablo 2, but given that I played it consistently for five years, and then on and off for the following fifteen years, I'm willing to bet its well over a thousand hours. Similarly, I invested hundreds upon hundreds of hours into Diablo 3 across multiple platforms. In addition to those, I messed around with several of the Diablo clones over the years - Path of Exile, Torchlight, Titan Quest, among many others. Needless to say, I was beyond excited for Diablo 4. I purchased it on PC and on PS5 to do couch coop with my wife.

    I am a Diablo 2 purist, no matter what the series does, I think that is a timeless formula, so I am always a little rough to accept change in the series, even if it takes it in the right direction. Diablo 4 really takes the series to new heights while keeping the same core dungeon crawling, loot hunting, monster slaying concepts. The open world feels very appropriate for the Diablo series without steering off into other MMORPG territories. It keeps the same spirit of the series but it makes the world feel so much more alive. It is difficult to put into words but it is something that you absolutely have to experience for yourself. The world itself is static which is completely new for the series, but all of the dungeons are procedurally generated like you would expect, and it executes it very well. Blizzard made everything feel much deeper than ever before, and they executed it perfectly. I feel almost as if Diablo 3 tried to add this layer of depth, but they needed to test their foundation over a decade to make it work this fluidly. I also like the connectivity with other players - you'll find them in town, you'll randomly come across other players doing an event that you'll link up with for 5 minutes and head your separate ways. It's very nonintrusive and totally adds to the experience.

    The character skills development, and overall depth to the gameplay is all there - the more you play, the more you realize how complex the character building really is. Once you think you have it under control, it just adds more and more depth and complexity to it. Its the most fleshed out Diablo experience without a doubt. The great part about it is that you can play it how you wish. The complexity is there if you really want to get sweaty with the game, but there is so much content that even casual players can fully immerse themselves with as much as they feel comfortable with. I really enjoyed playing this with my wife because she largely does not play any videogames, but I managed to hook her with Diablo 3 many years ago. Its complex enough for me to be able to really get into the stats and builds, but straight forward enough where she can create and customize her character on a far more casual level, yet we can play on the same couch and love it the same.

    The graphics are fantastic, although sometimes the textures look a little too shiny and wet, and some of the character models in the cutscenes look like clay and a bit out of place, but overall the graphics are fantastic. The music is amazing and very well composed, or perfectly ambient. The story overall is excellent for a Diablo game, but the world building and lore is where its at. There is a ton to dig into if you are wanting to learn more about the world of Diablo, something that the series was always lacking. Most importantly, the world has that gothic art style that was present in Diablo 2, and not the oddly colorful art style of Diablo 3.

    Overall, nobody does ARPGs better than Diablo. Nobody. This feels like all of the growth that Diablo 3 experienced and all of their trials and errors are fully realized into this game. I'm still a Diablo 2 purist, they did everything perfect with that game. But if I want to play Diablo 2, I'll play Diablo 2. This was an absolutely necessary step for the franchise and it makes the growing period from Diablo 3 completely worth it.    … Expand

    Leaderboards: Should have been in at launch, they have already confirmed they will be ready for later seasons but this seems like an sad oversight.

    Road map: I think that they should have given us the road map for season 1 and 2 at launch. Just look at the silly review bombing that is happening here, it could be 100% discounted if we had a road map the showed exactly what each season's main content would be.

    Over-world travel on the mount: The mount itself is just not a fluid as I would like. Stuttering, and rubber-banding on the mount is just frustrating.

    Now for what I love.

    The gameplay for each class is INCREDIBLE. Fluid, visceral, varied and just a damn good time. You find yourself going from event to event in the overworld just because of how much fun it is to wade through the monsters with your classes chosen kit.

    The story is, perhaps, the best they have ever created. The side quests are utterly enthralling. You will be doing some dumb fetch quest that leads to you questioning how you're raising your kids. Am I as supportive of a father as I think I am? These thoughts have gone through my head multiple times and more while doing SIDE QUESTS!

    If the $70 price is too much for you you will not have to wait long for a sale, Blizzard puts games on sale mere months after they come out. Please do yourself a favor and ignore the hate, ignore the store, and just give this game a chance. I promise it will not disappoint.    … Expand

It give me nostalgic feels back to play D3, D2 and even some part D1, in some aspects if also reminds me a little bit of WoW, I see myself continuing to play this game for quite some time, sure there are a few bugs,tweaks and Quality Of Life changes that could be made, but the game just came out, give it a little time. Overall a absolutely stunning game visually and musically, the combat feels nice, if see challenging, but not dark souls hard. 8/10 would recommend this game to anyone who has enjoyed the other diablo games in the franchise.

    -Side note, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE GOD DONT ADD ANYTHING MORE THAN COSMETIC MICROTRANSACTIONS EVER!!!! it will destroy the game and my trust in Blizzard forever.

    QoL- seperate area in inventory to keep gems
    Also either move the Stash close to Waypoints or expand inventory to carry more item, the amount of going back to town and then running across the town can get annoying once you start doing nightmare dungeons and endgame stuff.

    Update: I gave it a 8 out of 10, but changed it to 10 out of 10 to balance out all these whiny snowflakes, who have not taken time to understand the game and appreciate all the good parts of it. Yes there is some bad, but I feel like the good parts outweigh them.    … Expand

The game, which was already criticized for its slow pace, has been further bogged down by a series of nerfs that have affected every aspect of gameplay. All classes have been weakened, enchantment costs remain high, and the Helltides, a key feature of the game, have been slowed down. The patch has also severely nerfed boosting and reduced the experience bonus for killing higher-level monsters by a staggering 90%. The changes to critical and vulnerable damage, nerfed by 17% and 40% respectively, have further reduced the game's appeal. The game's pace, already a point of contention among players, has been slowed down to a slog, making progress feel tedious and unrewarding.

    Adding insult to injury, even the teleportation mechanic, a seemingly minor aspect of the game, has been affected, with the channel time for the Leave Dungeon ability increased from 3 to 5 seconds. This change, while small, is emblematic of the overall direction of the patch - a focus on slowing down gameplay and reducing the effectiveness of various strategies and tactics. The result is a game that feels less like an epic battle against the forces of Hell and more like a chore. The excitement and anticipation that once surrounded Diablo 4 have been replaced with frustration and disappointment. The game, in its current state, fails to deliver on its promise, earning it a score of 0 out of 10.    … Expand

    Also, the area scaling is a good thing, no boring areas that are so far under you, that there is no challenge left, at the same time is the open world not so challenging anyway.

    - I was particularly impressed with the visual design of the dungeons.

    - The skill and paragon systems are quite straightforward and easy to grasp.
    - I thoroughly enjoyed playing as the rogue and the sorcerer, leveling them up to 50 and 80, respectively. The class system as a whole is well-designed. However, I haven't had the chance to try out other classes yet.

    Cons:
    - While the game incorporates MMO elements, they aren't executed well. There's no general chat or regional chat, making it difficult to find groups for activities like invasions.
    - The clan system is disappointing. When attempting to join a clan, you'll often encounter an error message stating "too many requests." Furthermore, you're not able to adequately describe yourself or your intentions in just a few words. As a result, clan leaders often create Discord servers and request that players join there, which becomes problematic if you simply want in-game communication without additional hassle. It's quite frustrating.
    - The map isn't shared across characters, so you have to rediscover it with each new character you create.
    - The transportation system actually complicates movement rather than simplifying it. It's reminiscent of the Crusader's mount from Diablo 3 and, overall, the horse feels lackluster.

    I am not sure how I feel about the level scaling since it takes wind out of my sails when it comes to power gain. I just don't quite feel like I am getting stronger consistently.
    Story is decent to quite good and it feels tonally proper to a Diablo game.
    The game has more than enough content and fun enough to more than justify the base buy in price, it is a fully fledged game in all regards with NO p2w as it should be (early access is irrelevant since Seasons are not launched nor is there a ladder (yet)).

    That being said, the microtransactions, "cosmetic only" as they may be (for now?), are a significant negative.
    I have zero confidence in blizzard not to get even greedier as time passes for the game since they've already added a metric ton of paid cosmetics: premium bp (will become active when Season 1 launches) + many additional shop cosmetics.
    If they keep up with the in-game cosmetic equivalent additions and not have all the best looking stuff only in the shop then it will tolerable for me personally. I do not want to have to go to the shop (zero satisfaction) to get that one look I want on my character, I want to earn it in-game.
    Doesn't change the fact that many unique looks are/will be paid only, intolerable for many, and legitimately so, I am borderline on this for now.
    Is this really the price of having future content?
    This game's future will live or die by future updates, if they fail to deliver the cosmetic crap will be even more egregious since they will have failed to justify the additional cost.

    To me the game, if I were to ignore the mtx (which is easy to do for now since I am distracted by all the content), would be a 9/10, if I am to take them into account and the fact that I feel the level scaling detracts from the sensation of power progression.. 7.5/10.    … Expand

    Of course there are negatives about the game... it isn't perfect by all means, but it sure is a really great start for what's to come with Diablo 4.

    - One of the obvious downsides to Diablo 4 are the unstable network connections and server lag that happen here and there. If you're on PC a lot of that went away when i took off cross platform connection (hopefully they will fix it within the next few days/weeks).

    - I'm not a really big story guy myself when it comes to games, but the story did feel very short for what it is. As the game was made to also suit more casual and new players, I wish they also showed more of how/why sanctuary was made, more on lilith's and inarius' relationship and more overall important acts that explained the lore to new players that don't already know about it. It felt as though act 2 to 5 were just filler acts and didn't really introduce new important characters other than a few bosses here and there. As i said myself though, I don't care much about stories when i play games so this wasn't really a deal breaker for me. If you're really big into story you might find D4 a bit bland and boring, but I will say that Diablo's lore as a whole is a great one to look into.

    - I wish there was something in the D4 that visually showed you were getting a lot more powerful in the game (this has nothing to do with level scaling that will be in the positive section). As you level up a certain skill in the tree or add better overall stats to your items it should visually show that you are getting a lot more stronger by having more visually intensive skills. One of the things that D3 did right was make you feel like you were getting powerful as you progress further into the game (just please don't add items with 4000% bonuses in D4 thanks).

    Now for the positives:

    - The graphics don't have to be talked about much as everyone knows they are amazing which i agree with. I'm glad they are going back to the dark and gloomy feel of Diablo 2 while introducing a more modern and natural look to the game, compared to the cartoony look of D3. Nothing in the game that feels out of place when it comes to the graphic choice.

    - Love how soon end game starts in my personal opinion. Once you're done with the game you still have around 60 or so levels of game time.

    - I do like how legendary items work in the game and how you can obtain/craft them very early to already start working on your build. People who are having scaling issues just aren't building their characters right and don't understand that Diablo is a stat building game. I haven't had issues going into the torment difficulty and i entered it before hitting level 60. I will agree that the game is a lot more challenging than Diablo 3, which i really been enjoying. It feels a lot more rewarding completing nightmare dungeons and I really love the new twist on the paragon system. instead of completing rifts to level up gems that go into your items. You level up glyphs that go into your paragon board.

    - DIablo 4 just gives a lot more room to work on more unique builds. You could follow a guide at first than develop to making a build that suits more of your play style.

    - Lastly, I love that they are forcing online play. I've always played the Diablo series majority of the time alone and it's seems like I've been pushed a lot more in the game to play with friends. I do wish in the future that they do add 8 player (bigger group) features, like how you could set up servers to have 8 people in Diablo 2. Yes they have world bosses with 10 people but those other 9 people aren't your friends.    … Expand

    Blizzard finally seems to find the way again. Game looks solid and gameplay is on spot. If you liked DIII than you will love this one too. I will not give 10 only because of the stupid shop with skins. If this can give a good a game without p2w **** like immortal I'm ok with that.

    I played this game for 30 hours over the course of 3 days and I have to say, it's amazing! The music and art are both incredible and really add to the overall experience. I'm so happy that Blizzard has finally returned to their roots and released a game that truly lives up to their standards.

    Good game. There are some problems with the endgame content, which will probably be resolved as they were in D3, and there are some QoL features I would love to see in the future, like a separate gem inventory tab, reduced/missing cd on the mount, portals directly to the nightmare dungeons, etc.

    Anyway, it is a solid foundation for a long-living game, a nice casual change of pace from PoE experience, with a good story (better than everything that was in Diablo before), great sound, and visuals.
    Non-paid transmog looks really sick and in many cases better than the paid ones, and after thinking about it for a while - paid shop is not the worst thing to have, since this game is planned as a service, I just hope it will only be cosmetics and nothing that affects gameplay. The price tag is kinda hurt though.

    I never had high hopes for d4 and I am glad that the game is good, for now, it can give one many hours of fun, and with good support, it could ramp up to thousands. Probably.    … Expand

    Как по мне лучший Диаблоид, хорошая графика но при этом не высокие системные требования. Синематики и Кат-Сцены на высшем уровне. Сюжет отличный.
    Классы, навыки и прокачка хороша.
    Но больше нравится Мировые боссы, а также сайд-квесты. Надеюсь когда нибудь ещё и рейды добавять.    Как по мне лучший Диаблоид, хорошая графика но при этом не высокие системные требования. Синематики и Кат-Сцены на высшем уровне. Сюжет отличный.

    I don't know what game these negative reviewers are playing, I assume most of them are under 30 and never played classic Diablo. I have hundreds of hours in Diablo 2 and 3, this is far superior in immersion, graphics and quality of play. Don't like paying for extra chrome? Nobody is making you. I have encountered no crashes or significant downtimes. A clear homerun by Blizzard congrats!!!

    Like many Blizzard games it's not perfect. But I have confidence it will reach a better state soon. The reason for the high score is because the game has been fun and engrossing.

The main story grows and gets better as it goes, I will say it is a bit simplistic and formulaic but enjoyable. I enjoy the darker tone in the game and the landscapes. The mob diversity is a bit light but when I'm blowing them up en mass I don't care as much. Overall it's been a thoroughly enjoyable game. At 60 hours played so far I still find myself craving the experience when I'm away from the game. My biggest complaint is that the power scaling at low levels feels too horizontal and your character can feel ineffective. But as you get into the higher levels and start getting aspects and tweaking your build it is much more rewarding. I don't understand the microtransaction complaints. There is nothing necessary in the shop and the gear, trophies, and horse armor that drop in the game have some interesting variances that really allow you to customize your character as you go. In the day an age of waiting years for a AAA title and having them release with a multitude of game breaking bugs, poor optimization, and a myriad of other issues, Diablo has done pretty well.… Expand

    This is the best Diablo game at the moment. The cutscenes in this game are the best I've seen (literally the best among all games), with awesome music, atmosphere, and so on. It took me 80 hours of gameplay for the main story and side quests with dungeons on my first playthrough. In comparison, it only took me 5 hours for the D3. Overall, I highly recommend it 7/10

    I am a new user of the Diablo series. Diablo seems to have brought the advantages of many popular games. The in-game sound and cinematic footage and especially the terrifying atmosphere of the entire map were enough to fascinate me.

What did you expect from an ARPG? Diablo as plenty to do and various ways after you reach level 50 and or finish the campaign for you to progress your character.

    Servers where down for about 1 hour 8 of june, and this delusional people, who dont even have the game, so they are playing through twitch streamers, came here and bombed the game. What a sad life you must have to deliberately do this.

    - Stash needs rework and the ability to search
    - Implement gem only bag
    - Builds feel to "pre built" little room for creativity
    - World bosses could be more challenging

    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.
