But compared to any major game released lately, it's been the best. The foundation you've laid is going to end up turning into an even more amazing game before too long. The small thing's that bug me are literally just that. SMALL. Most of the stuff people are complaining about are either from them not understanding the game enough or just being flat out impatient. THANK YOU for taking such an active role in listening to the community. Don't believe all of the whiney people. Everyone I've talked to about D4 has had nothing but good things to say about it as well. You guy's are great and keep it up the good work.… Expand

    Diablo 4 expands on the Diablo universe with a compelling story and probably one of the best cinematics in the genre.
    After finishing the campaign, the end-game gives you options in Nightmare dungeons, Helltide and Tree of Whispers activities which improves on the Baal runs from Diablo 2 or the Mapping in PoE
    9/10 because some areas in the map need more density or activities but    Diablo 4 expands on the Diablo universe with a compelling story and probably one of the best cinematics in the genre.

I can’t seem to figure out if any of these reviewers on this site even played Diablo 4 or maybe they even worked on old projects and are alittle salty possibly got fired and or just trolling and spreading misinformational hate. Because, this game is super bananas and has such a banger of a soundtrack. The skill/spell combinations for character builds are so much better than any previous version of Diablo. I’m not gear locked and I can decimate with any build of my own liking. No more being stuck with seasonal gear and or spells/abilities. The map is so huge and it’s not a linear path walking game like the old Diablo games from the past. You can actually explore and there is no wrong way to play. PvP is here which is one option that we have all wanted. World boss fights?! Yeah, I said it I’ve never seen more than 4 people on my screen fighting in previous Diablo’s before until the World Boss.

    The graphics are beautiful seriously, they’re literally peering in through the tops of the dilapidated roofs of structures/buildings with amazing floral and fauna in your surroundings. A great game for everyone especially for Dad’s and Mom’s to play with or without your kids especially, for the amount of time we don’t get to play games while we work I’ve had entirely too much fun. The voice actors really helped steer this awesome story into absolute belief in portraying their characters. After 2 weeks from launch, I’m still leveling and grinding there is soooo much to do. I’m super Excited to see World Tier 5 update and future updates. Keep on Keepin on thank you for your hardwork Dev Team    … Expand

    Diablo IV is the best Diablo game released to date. It is a game that allows both casual players to enjoy it through the story and side content as well as the more hardcore audience with the challenge provided later on into Tier 3 and through 4 up through the end of the current content. Plenty of more content on the way as well that can be played both on lower tiers for a casual audienceDiablo IV is the best Diablo game released to date. It is a game that allows both casual players to enjoy it through the story and side content as well as the more hardcore audience with the challenge provided later on into Tier 3 and through 4 up through the end of the current content. Plenty of more content on the way as well that can be played both on lower tiers for a casual audience and higher tiers still in the form of full fledged expansions as well as seasonal content every 3 months. Thus, it is a live service game and online.

    Visual 9/10 - The game is visually impressive. The best looking ARPG we have to date, the upcoming PoE2 will be up there with it, but we have only a very small trailer to go off for that. Regions are diverse from one another with each zone varying in the regions. Dungeons, albeit the aesthetics recycled heavily in the 115 available, are all well crafted visually and diverse. Cutscenes are phenomenal, both the in-engine and cinematic. Character design is diverse amongst the playable classes. The various armor pieces and weapon pieces are highly diverse and allows great customization on appearance through the transmog system. Returning enemy types have been visually upgraded and the new enemies all look great. Boss design is good, though reused in dungeons, which i'll get to why that's not necessarily a bad thing. Important bosses are all very unique and very impressive from their design to their arenas to their abilities. My only gripe visually is that the camera is a bit close and claustrophobic for my liking.

    Audio 10/10 - Aurally the game is magnificent as well. Everything is done to extreme levels. Skill sounds, enemy sounds, music, ambience, music, voice acting. I can not stress it enough, this is probably the only game where I won't skip even side quest dialogue because every character with voice lines is recorded at a masterful level.

    Gameplay 8/10 - This is the biggest portion of the review obviously, and the most important. Diablo IV is an ARPG and it plays like a Diablo game. The skill tree is different than that of previous iterations, while still returning the Paragon system though vastly different and improved. You have 100 levels, the first 50 of which allocate 48 skill points to be used, an additional 10 can be earned through side activities earning renown in each region, a total of 2 per, for a total of 58 skill points. Onward, with 4 per level, and an additional 20 per renown, are Paragon points for the paragon system which allows further build customization through simple stat boosts to percentage boosts to resistances or damage output, to rare nodes to glyph nodes to legendary nodes. Some skills are just outright worse than others, but if every skill did the exact same amount of damage, then there'd be zero reason to play and experiment with the various skills, passives, ultimate skills, and numerous aspects in the game.

    Now, speaking of these aspects, these can greatly modify your class and builds, from changing the type of a skill to another type for increased synergy, to completely altering it's functionality, and unique items which will further these changes, there's a ton of potential here.

    A GIANT gripe I have with people complaining about build diversity, they clearly haven't spent more than 3 minutes allocating random skill points and random legendary aspects and wondered why their build with zero synergy didn't work as much as someone who painstakingly went through and theory crafted builds and posted it online for others. Grow up. Accept that you don't have the capacity for the levels of thought to measure percentages and weigh the benefits of using one aspect in a slot over the other or the usage of a 2 handed weapon over 2 one handed weapons. Personally, I've made it to level 60, a second time on hardcore, with a completely custom Nature's Fury build. It's a lot of work, it takes testing, but it's doable and it's fun.

    The campaign is well done, the best campaign in an ARPG easily, let alone probably one of the best in just gaming in the last few years outside of some stellar worlds that have been created. End game activities really begin after World Tier 3, following the completion of the first major test in a capstone dungeon, meant to be a challenge and test players. Tree of Whispers missions replace the adventure mode bounties and shift regions and zones every so often. Nightmare dungeons have, so far at least, replaced Rifts and Greater Rifts from Diablo 3. These are sometimes heavily modified dungeons, with modifiers that can both benefit you and the monsters, these also level up in difficulty, forcing the player to further fine tune their items for survivability and damage. Another capstone dungeon between World Tier 3 and 4 at level 70, and at level 100, a showdown with a reincarnation of the campaigns final boss that is a challenge to face.

    Overall, Diablo 4 is a 9/10, easily.    … Expand

    Great game overall, may be a bit boring at the start if you select weak build. Game feels like a breath of fresh air amid the stagnation in the ARPG segment of games.
    As a PoE player, who never played Diablo, I can recommend to try play Diablo 4. Endgame is good, builds are interesting to play. Optimization is on good level.

There is one recent review that is so completely off base, that said there is no Global chat, when upon logging in and pressing "Enter"Goodness, I saw the negative reviews and nearly half, if not a good majority of them are factually incorrect or come from people who did not bother playing the game and decided to just post something negative about the game (review bomb in other words). There is one recent review that is so completely off base, that said there is no Global chat, when upon logging in and pressing "Enter" to open chat, you are in Global. Hitting the "Tab" key will even let you cycle through the different channels of chat as well. It's sad that reviews, such as this one, weigh on the overall score of the game. It also basically de-legitimizes the credibility of reviewers like this person.

    First off, there is zooming in and out of your character, so the reviewer that said there is none is false and disinformation. I cannot believe that some people actually found that useful when the Demo/Beta was playable for everyone to see that you can zoom in and out of your character at any time. I'd ignore with full prejudice any reviews saying you cannot zoom in or out of your character.

    Second, there is also trading of items, but it is limited to "rares" or gold items and lower. You cannot trade Legendary or Ancestral gear, or whatever higher tier gear that comes into the game. The reviews that said you cannot trade gear -at all- is factually wrong. Further, the reviews saying you cannot trade Legendary or higher quality gear are conveniently leaving out is that you can easily upgrade your rare or yellow gear to Legendary gear using Aspects that you can rip off other Legendary items, and apply it to your tradeable rare gear, and get a legendary catered to your character's build. At this point, I'd ignore the reviews saying you cannot trade any gear in Diablo 4.

    There are some negative reviews I do agree with, but I would -not- put this game below an 8/10 at worst. For what we got with this game, and a major upgrade to graphics, animation, story, voice acting, SFX, VFX, vs Diablo 3, I think this game is astonishing. I liked Diablo 1, 2, 3 as a whole, skipped Diablo Immortal because that game was an absolutely horrible reskin of Crusaders of Light, a Chinese ARPG, and just one of the worst games Blizzard ever produced/re-skinned. I think Blizzard does a better job making games from the ground up. But I digress.

    In terms of my review, I do not like the micro-stats like "Damage Reduction Up Close", "Damage Reduction from Distant", "Damage Up close", "Damage to Distant", etc. I can see where Blizzard was going with this setup, with fine tuning your character to exactly your playstyle is. But I think splitting Damage Reduction/Producing to "up close" and "distant" enemies was a bit much. I agree that this could have been better thought out, or, just leave the damage reduction as one stat: Damage Reduction. The same goes for Damage to Enemies up close or distant: Increased Damage/Attack Power would have sufficed here. I docked one point here in my review.

    Second, there are dungeons where the flow of progress feels great and fun! But there are a lot of dungeons, especially towards the later end game, where I find myself doing a bit too much back tracking and is not fun or exciting. I know there is backtracking in ARPGs and it is basically a staple for ARPGs and even RPGs, but this was a bit much towards the later parts of Diablo IV. I remember the Blizzard Dev video showed some updates they did about Dungeon flow, and I think they did a phenomenal job with changing the flow of the dungeons, but with over 120 dungeons, they missed a bunch. I would dock half a point here, because I can count maybe 20 dungeons that need this update added for better flow of the dungeons.

    The side quests, along with the main quests in Diablo IV were very fun and enjoyable. Some of the side quests were quite annoying, especially if you like doing side quests like I do, where if you don't have your mount yet, you're going to be rolling your eyes at the back and forth you have to do. If I played this game efficiently and stuck to the MSQ (Main Story Quest), then did the side quests after I get my mount (which comes at the end of Act III), it would not have been so bad. I docked half a point here, since some of the side quests were enjoyable and the voice acting was well done. A story within a story. You do not see that quality in many games these days, or even in the past.

    I cannot dock a point off of the price of the game because again, you had the choice of paying $70 for the regular release of the game, or pay close to $100 for the early access. The game would be no different from early access or full access. The season pass bump, again, it's up to you. The reviews saying this is pay to win is laughable at best. The game is VERY far from Pay to Win like Diablo Immortal was, or a lot of Korean/Chinese MMOs are. Ignore those reviewers without examples.    … Expand

    Exceeded my expectations.

    Gameplay: The mechanics are easy to understand but not so trivial to master, with the pace of new mechanics introduced (paragon at level 50) being good. The cost of rerolling equipment and imprinting aspects scales with level (even in relation to your income of those currencies) and so it feels that it's easier to create good gear early and gets harder as you    Exceeded my expectations.

    Gameplay:

The cost of rerolling equipment and imprinting aspects scales with level (even in relation to your income of those currencies) and so it feels that it's easier to create good gear early and gets harder as you reach end game, as it should. Aspects being imprintable is a good design decision that raises the floor so people do not have to spend 100+ hours finding aspects that are critical to their build. However, to actually have great gear, you will need to farm for high rolls on the aspects and stats on items. The fact that you don't have to find items with both great stats and aspect because you can imprint good aspects onto it is apparently controversial, but I don't think it should be. There are many QoL improvements over previous games, but people will always find something to complain about.

    Campaign:
    The campaign can be played through in about 20 hours at a leisurely pace if you do not do many side quests, and has OK writing with excellent cinematics and voice acting as usual. The story has some major questions that they never resolved, for example at the start: why are we, a total scrub, trying to catch up to Lilith, a relatively important demon? Isn't that just asking to be killed? The ending was also a bit bewildering, but the leading up to it mostly made sense. Another point is that the player character never has any choice narratively, and makes some decisions that I would not. It's understandable as an ARPG that you have no choice in the narrative, but perhaps that's a point of innovation that Blizzard might've been able to go for.

    Combat:
    Combat feels mostly fluid, but is plagued by being always-online. This leads to some rubber-banding and lag from my shoddy internet connection. Being online does not really offer much social benefits like a usual MMO, so it seems like it's mostly to combat piracy and as a form of DRM.

    Itemization:
    A special note on itemization in addition to my comment under gameplay. I do not understand why many reviews claim itemization is ver simple - it is not. It's not on POE's levels of complexity of having connected gem slots, but it does not need to be that complex. Complex does not equal good. There are many damage modifier buckets that combine multiplicatively with other buckets and additively for sources within the bucket. This itself offers some depth to plan out gear to cover multiple buckets as they scale much better (as the modifiers can get to pretty high numbers - 100% damage and 100% damage in two buckets = 2 * 2 = 4x the damage for different buckets vs 1 + (1+1) = 3x the damage for the same bucket.    … Expand

    Review:

    Diablo 4 is undeniably one of the most anticipated games of the past decade, and I am thrilled to say that it lives up to all expectations. The latest chapter in Blizzard Entertainment's legendary series not only surpasses its predecessors but also sets new standards for the action RPG genre.

    Right from the beginning, Diablo 4 captivates with its deep and immersive story.

    Most of the negative reviews are:

    -The decade-old debate about DLCs and microtransactions, because apparently they're forcing you to buy them at gunpoint. I didn't pay for a mount in WoW for 20 euros, and I won't do it now. That didn't stop me from enjoying the game. If you want to do it, it's your money, your problem.
    -The Diablo 2 fans. It's been 20 years. I don't want to fill my inventory with teleport scrolls, I prefer a button. You call this casual, I call yours abnormal. Welcome to 2023.
    -Hating on Blizzard as a vocation. It's true that they messed up quite a bit lately, but this is not the case. In fact, you can feel some redemption in how they're handling things.
    -Server issues. They're actually right about this one. I've only experienced one or two disconnections, not a lot, but enough to make me think twice about playing with permanent death heroes for now, just in case.

    If there aren't more positive reviews, it's probably because people are enjoying the game at the moment, as every time I log in, it's full of people. I just drink my coffee while reading troll comments to feel like I'm in the countryside with the sheep's bleating and put myself in a good mood. But now I'm logging in for a couple of hours of fun.

    Story is good, gameplay is perfect, ITEMS are so good and there is lot of items that you can chase and a variety of builds that you can run and try.

    There is some micro transactions in it but can be totally ignored since they are only cosmetics.

    -expensive cash shop. This is true the skins are pretty expensive in there but that currently is all that is in there no inventory tabs like in other games or other game play benefits. Looking at you poe -shaky servers
    The first few days of a launch are always shaky for the servers of a online game this should be known by now, however with that said I see no reason as to why this game was forced to be always online seems silly to me...but it's not the only one in the genre to do this again looking at you poe -the game loop is shallow
    I do think there is a bit of a point here but only if you rush through the game at breakneck speeds. A new season is already on its way with more coming this type of game is always a marathon not a race.
    - it needs a way to just go into a dungeon without walking to it
    ....yes yes it does lol. This is legit criticism poe does this so well and it allows you to just go straight into the action after your last dungeon so here is hoping they figure this out.

    There are other much smaller things like music being bad which I disagree with but that is heavily subjective and few others but yea Currently the game is solid its good. It has its problems a few odd balance issues that need ironed out but they have shown to be quickly working on that I mean 6 patches in a week mates they are working on the balance.

    The games design, while needing a few minutes for adjusting settings, is pleasing. The audio is fantastic, and the visual are exactly what you'd expect from a diablo game, gory, yet well designed.
    Functionally, the game feels like the perfect middle ground between diablo 2' extensive skill trees, and the simplified skill trees from diablo 3. The allowance of being able to choose what skills you want from different tiers, not being locked to 1 of each style was refreshing. The combat because of this, can feel very rewarding.
    In honesty, it does have its issues, low level enemies feel fairly copy and paste. They do becomes more varied at higher levels, but i do wish they had more. That being said, its an arpg, thats par for course.
    I do agree the choice to strictly be only live service, was a poor one. I also understand the reasons for them doing so, and as long as they put time and money into the servers the game could be amazing. The current issue with the online services is that they haven't been tested with this many players, and it cant handle it currently. Its been a week of actual release and of course we are seeing issues as with all online games immediately after release. In the past week they have already released fixes for a swathe of these issues. If they keep this up, i wont be surprised.
    Considering the issues with hacking and cheating Diablo 3 was plagued with, i can respect the online only gameplay. I will admit that its hopeful that they'll be able to control that, but i believe it should be less rampant.
    Already, they have made changes to classes, the day 1 nerf to barb and druid, and the buff to necro, gives me hope that they'll actively maintain the gameplay. Personally, i think they need to rebalance quite a few options as it feels as if certain abilities are just unplayable in their current condition. Some skills are just the clear choice, especially in a game like this, where Aesthetic doesn't clear dungeons.
    Im not a fan of the story, for the most part. its not bad, its just not what i expected, nor agreed with. I think the story needed more time to be flushed out. I felt disconnected from my protagonist in large areas of the story. Thats not to say, that the story didnt have its good parts, nor its fantastic parts. It has been rare for me in the recent years to not regret the purchase of a game. I feel confident that this was a good purchase. Also, The shop is completely ignorable. It is not mandatory, If they force the shop i will have an issue. I spent my money, i will not be bullied into spending more.    … Expand

    Storytelling - 9/10

    Combat - 8/10
    Pacing - 8/10
    ------------------------------------
    Overall - 8/10

    Good job Blizzard!

    Competitive --
    Now if the above review was not informative enough for you, then you might be in the more competitive category. I'll be frank, I've reached level 100 on hardcore mode, and I've spent many hours theory crafting builds, figuring out power scaling, and farming for gear. So let's get to it.

    Storytelling - 9/10
    My review for storytelling remains the same. This is a darker game, so others might not enjoy the storytelling aspects that Diablo 4 presents, but at the same time... If you're playing a game titled "Diablo" then you should probably expect to see darker themes.

    Audio - 8/10
    Good stuff.

    Visuals - 7/10
    This is where things become tricky. I come many different games, and I've seen a lot of visuals. There's something unique and satisfying that strong visuals (not flashbangs) and audio can bring to the player. The best example I can use is in Lost Ark, when your character uses an "ultimate" ability - it feels like an ultimate ability both from the sound cue's and the visual effects. Diablo 4 seems to shy away from this, but it's not entirely a bad thing. It's just Diablo 4's aesthetic.

    Combat - 7/10 (combined from Mobbing/Boss fighting)
    For ease of review, we can break the combat down into two styles that are applicable to the ARPG genre. Mobbing and Boss fighting.

    - Mobbing 9/10
    This is what Diablo does best. The builds you make tend to have speed as their middle name. The faster you go, the more items that drop, the more exp you earn, the more materials you farm, the higher you push your character. With so much RNG inherent to the genre, it's critical that you're farming efficiently - again, Diablo does this quite well.

    - Boss fighting. 5/10
    We have a problem here. I will preface this by saying that there are unique "bosses" within the game that have mechanics for a player to learn and adapt to. However, this goes away very quickly when the boss dies in less than 10 seconds flat. There's no real sense of "Boss fighting" in this game, as bosses are basically just another elite pack with more health, or just a means to finish your dungeon.

    The way that Diablo 4 is currently made to be played with it's skill usage, does not lend itself well to boss fighting in contrast to other games like Lost Ark's endgame boss fights (or even PoE bosses). There's a certain level of thematic presence that Diablo 4 boss fights are missing, and although I'm not an expert in game design - I can at least tell when a game is lacking.

    Pacing - 7/10
    The pacing in this game is able to appeal to both the casual and more competitive player base alike. The game features a level scaling, which matches mobs to your level accordingly. Leveling initially feels comfortable and at ease, while leveling towards the end feels very slow, which is not a bad thing per say.

    While some people enjoy chasing the higher level number, the game is much better enjoyed chasing "content" instead of "levels". As you're doing content suitable for you, the levels will come naturally, however there are some nuances to the pacing and scaling in this game that can make it feel bad at times. (Such as unlocking the next world tier when you're 7 levels down, but all of the enemies are now 10 levels higher than you.)

    Itemization - 7/10
    The is a subject to great contention. ARPG's always tend to have a random aspect to their loot, and farming for the perfect item for your build can feel either tiring or rewarding, depending on multiple factors.

    The tier levels of items for Diablo 4 was implemented quite well once you're more familiar with the system. However the systems used are incredibly and needlessly convoluted. I enjoy complex systems, but I mostly enjoy complex systems when information is in abundance.
    For example, you are unable to see the potential roll values for an item affix at the enchanter, why hide this information? Hiding this type of information only makes the game more complex and frustrating for a casual player, which appears to be your main audience, as competitive players will seek this information out on their own.
    For the average player, it will be difficult to determine if this next piece of gear is an upgrade for your character, or salvaged resources. Side content - The side content in the game is very good, but I will only ever do this content once or just not play anymore. Overall - 8/10    … Expand

It has flaws - I agree that the power scaling feels weird, not a fan. If we've got a level 60 person and a level 20 person in a party, the level 20 person should be struggling more than the level 60. But it's not really a dealbreaker for me because I just focus on myself and keep on enjoying the fight. I think the store is stupid, but I just stick to the cosmetics that you can find in the game and ignore the store altogether. I agree with everyone saying that there should be an offline option to increase accessibility and for people that don't like strangers passing through their game, but I've been enjoying the online open world format, especially since all the dungeons/storyline boss fights are just with you and your party.

    Having played all of the Diablo games extensively, I've been excited for this game for years, keeping up on the all the news, etc., and I think it delivered. It's also been great crossing over to play with my console gamer friends for the first time. For the flaws it has (like issues with barb and necro skills, the setup of the helltides), the developers have been paying attention to feedback and have been really good about responding openly about the improvements they will be making based on that feedback. It's clear that they want us to enjoy the game long-term.

    As for how the game is right now: I think it has a compelling storyline, beautiful graphics, and I'm really enjoying the open world. I like the shift in the skills setup, and the mounts make it easy to explore every corner - I'm a playing that likes to get all the achievements, so I've been using the mounts constantly to make sure I caught everything. I've been playing a ton since it's been out, and I'm positive I'll be playing it for years. I'm definitely a long-term player, so that's probably why I'm not quite as mad about the price tag as some people that just want to binge it and then move on to the next game. I'm having a great time, and I've got about 10-15 people I've been playing with (a mix of Diablo veterans and first-time players) who are really happy with it as well.    … Expand

The visuals and atmosphere of the world really make it feel like a place desperately attempting to hold on amidst an ongoing conflict between heaven and hell. It is a return to form from the days of Diablo 2 setting aside the silliness from Diablo 3.

    The campaign is good, though it may fall short in some places. The characters are compelling and relatable allowing you to make a good connection with them. Lillith is a great villian with obvious motivations who is twisting the world around her as people commit unspeakable acts and the lands are once more ravaged by demons. It was nice to see some returning bosses from Diablo 2 here as well.

    Gameplay and character progression is simple enough to understand and isn't bogged down by overcomplicated systems like Path of Exile for instance. The skill tree is very straight forward and legendaries add a lot to how a build plays and are, for the most part, easily accesible.

    D4 is by no means a perfect game and it has its issues, primarily QoL. These by no means make it a bad game and they will likely be addressed in future releases but it does keep the score down to an 8/10 for me personally.

    Edit: Changing to 10/10 to hopefully offset the no life neckbeards that are giving 0/10 for idiotic reasons.    … Expand

    It's not a perfect game, but I enjoy it.
    Pros:
    - Story/Acting
    - Classes and skills
    - Control and gameplay
    - Dark world and atmosphere
    - Difficulty on higher levels
    - World activities

    Cons
    - Music is not catchy
    - Itemisation (98% of items are unusable for your build)

    Mixed:
    - Some features are still missing, such as convenient loadout switching.

    For context, I've been playing a Barb solo, and a Sorcerer in a group - both on world tier 2.

    The story, cutscenes and overall world building are incredible; I usually rush through games to get to the endgame but this time round I've been genuinely interested in what's going on and taking my time to click all the extra dialogue options and explore the map. I've found that I can get through 1-2 acts in a few hours even while taking my time, so the pacing feels good and mini adventures between certain missions give a good break to grab alters or do events.

    Skills/builds and diversity feel pretty solid but there's definitely room for growth. I've already changed my build many times on my Barb either to beat a boss or add synergy to a legendary drop. So far I've tried the classic spin to win build, hammer of the ancients with lots of shouts, a high CC upheaval build, and now a bleed + thorns build that's working very well.

    However, the actual gear stats are a bit **** to put it lightly, simply because there are so many. It's infeasible to get the right set of stats with decent rolls, on every piece of gear - which can make things feel tedious. My current build is riddled with bonuses like 'reduce damage from distant enemies', but it's not worth the investment to reroll everything constantly since there's always another bad bonus to take it's place anyway.

    Scaling is also another issue I've heard brought up, and I'll agree it can be fairly punishing, especially since it's easy to be under geared in this game - there aren't enough upgrades being dropped to keep up with mobs in the higher tiers, so levelling up can feel like a loss of power. This is further conflated by the gear stats I've already mentioned.

    Despite this, it is still possible to experiment and theory craft at endgame (instead of just reading an icy veins guide), it just takes a little longer to get established with a new playstyle - which I think is tolerable.

    What's most important, is the fact that the gameplay itself is fun and rewarding. I absolutely love spinning round and watching everything get melted. I love stun locking huge groups of mobs. I love watching a boss bleed out in 5 seconds and blowing everything up when I hit a rupture. But most of all, I LOVE ****ting on every Blizzard L; from cancelled overwatch PvE to WoW tokens in wrath - which should speak volumes about the fact I'm making a positive review about this game. This is a rare Blizzard win, but it's still not game of the year quality - it's a solid addition, and I'm sure it will keep improving as time progresses.    … Expand

    Diablo IV may be the best game I’ve ever played, at least certainly the best game on launch with more to come through seasons. The game offers a unique and fulfilling power fantasy that allows players to create their own characters and builds, explore a vast and rich world, slay endless hordes of demons, collect legendary loot, and cooperate or compete with other players.

    If you are a fan of Diablo or action RPGs in general, you owe it to yourself to play Diablo IV. It is an epic adventure that will take you to hell and back.

    A lot of the criticism in the 0 ratings force people like myself who love the game but could actually put real constructive criticisms to simply choose 10. The 0 ratings involve ridiculous complaints about microtransactions that you never need to even look at. The game is a slower game by nature, in every Diablo game. You can jump anywhere using waypoints & later you can ride a horse with speed boosts to go faster.

    The fights are a lot of fun and require you to figure out what mechanics the bosses use in order to avoid taking too much damage.

    The story is excellent, as expected with Diablo games. There are so many options for customizing your characters made up of the 5 classes that I expect to play this at least 500 hours before I need a break.

    I've had no issues connecting to the server. I've had a few issues with connection drops & getting stuck, but nothing too bad with first week of a game that will continuously get better over the next several years.

    Anyone who gives this a 0 is making some sort of statement that has nothing to do with the fun of the game.

    If I could have rated it normally, it would've been 8-9 as there are tedious things that could be made better. I would like to see a gem tab, because they fill up the inventory too much. I would like to see them adjust the text to never show up as the same color as the environment. Finally, I'd like to see them add the ability to auto pick up and salvage normal & magical items by enabling in settings. That way if we advance beyond that gear we can continue to gather ingredients while not filling our inventory with junk.    … Expand

The immersion is unmatched with the sounds, graphics and overall style combining into a very immersive experience, something that is difficult to do in a top-down game.

    The difficulty scaling is rather aggressive, meaning you never really feel the impact of your levels and new weapons in the usual sense of just wiping out enemies that were tough before, but it's also not a game breaker, because it makes sure there is a consistent challenge throughout the experience. The storyline is excellent for a game of this type, with plenty of budget spent on the animated cutscenes and voice acting. It's unfortunate that it was chosen to limit access to mounts until act 3 is over, it does make some rather tedious gameplay of walking across the map being chased by hordes of enemies while trying desperately to navigate to the next mission. I feel like a mount being given at the end of Act 2 would be a better choice.

    One of the first things that struck me about Diablo 4 is its stunning visual design. The game boasts incredibly detailed environments, from eerie, Gothic dungeons to sprawling outdoor landscapes teeming with danger. The attention to detail is simply awe-inspiring, and it truly feels like you're stepping into a world where evil lurks around every corner.

    The gameplay mechanics have also received a significant upgrade, making combat feel more fluid and satisfying than ever before.

Whether you prefer to unleash devastating spells as a powerful sorcerer or engage in up-close and personal combat as a hulking barbarian, Diablo 4 has you covered.

    One aspect that sets Diablo 4 apart from its predecessors is its emphasis on a darker, more mature narrative. The game delves deep into the lore of the Diablo universe, introducing compelling characters and exploring intricate storylines. The writing is superb, keeping me engaged and invested in the fate of the world throughout my journey. The narrative is complemented by top-notch voice acting, which brings the characters to life in a way that further immerses you in the game's rich and haunting atmosphere.

    Furthermore, the multiplayer experience in Diablo 4 is exceptional. Whether teaming up with friends to conquer formidable bosses or engaging in intense player-versus-player combat, the online connectivity seamlessly integrates into the game, adding an extra layer of excitement and camaraderie.

    -World Scaling-
    Scaling for the game is tuned fine, it is a big debate and common misconception of players believing that difficulties are too hard but when there is only 4 difficulties and 2 of them are intended after level 50 they pose a good challenge and I think they are tuned well. Good things take time, there's no reason to rush to T4 without being prepared and going in with any setup with no gear effort and expecting to just automatically win.

    -Skills / Tree-
    The skill tree is a little small and only offers so many differences between skill choice or passives when approaching builds but this isn't something new for diablo. Diablo skill tree and passives are meant to be more user friendly while still holding some choices for the player and not to be overwhelming with choices to the point of getting lost similar to other ARPG skill trees.

    -Mounts-
    The mount system and function is probably the weakest point of the game and the way the mount functions in accordance to where your mouse is needs addressed and fixed but the initial implementation is a good start, hopefully some fixes and improvements to come.

    -Inventory-
    The inventory system and stash works similarly to diablo 3 but has added tabs in the inventory for some items which is helpful however a gem inventory tab is definitely needed, the rest is easily manageable and it is nice to have things like quest items, gear aspects and elixirs separate from gear.

    -Loot-
    A lot of players have complaints regarding legendries not feeling rewarding since you can simply upgrade rares into legendries but this assists with gearing towards a build that you want to play after searching for gear with certain stat bonuses on them rather than just having to endlessly farm legendries and hope they roll the exact stats that you need. I think this improves upon the system started in D3 where you would upgrade a type of rare and hope it came out as the specific legendary you were searching for.

    -Materials Vs Gold
    Like any common goal within a game when trying to progress you have the ability to pick the things you focus on and how you spend your time and efforts. There have been many complaints surrounding the aspect of do you sell or do you salvage spare gear and some saying they run out of gold or materials and frankly I find them both easy to come by. Needing gold to do things with gear is a natural part of the game and re-doing your spec early on takes almost no gold to do so. If you find yourself running out of materials or gold you are likely doing too much to gear too fast or respecing very often to try new things.

    -Progression-
    With the added ability of upgrading rare gear to legendaries the gearing progression feels pretty natural. If you are playing naturally it will likely take you just a few days to get into T3 progression and a few following that to get into T4. Again, common complaints are that it is too time intensive but I don't understand why everyone thinks they are going to be in T4 within 3 days of playing.

    -Final summary
    Don't take diablo for a game that it is not, it is an ARPG grinding game with a mostly simplistic skill tree and a more expansive paragon tree with additional rune systems. It's a game with different gear multipliers and skill bonuses that assist your build depending on your playstyle and how you are aiming to build and play. Take your time, read your loot and upgrade your gear when you can while trying out new things to have fun and you will be able to get through the levels and difficulties and have a lot of fun doing it. Oh, and "git guud".    … Expand

    fantastic entry in the series, probably the best in the series. Sorry I didnt play d2 until remastered came up so I am not plagued with the nostalgia fever dream that is making people compare everything to d2. I thought it was crap.

    As for d4 the art style and the story are absolutely fantastic and the gameplay is super clean, especially compared to Path of Exile.

I know this isnt supposed to be as complex as PoE and that is ok. I am excited to see what kind of content or mechanics get added with seasonal adventures.    … Expand

    Although not perfect I feel Diablo IV has so far been a great addition to the franchise with a lot of room left to grow and improve. The campaign exceeded my expectations. The world is beautifully crafted, the music is on point and the combat feels fluid and impactful. I picked Druid since that’s a class I have not played before. I participated in two bets weekends.

The world is beautifully crafted, the music is on point and the combat feels fluid and impactful. I picked Druid since that’s a class I have not played before. I participated in two bets weekends. Overall after a hundred hours in I feel I have already gotten my moneys worth. The few things I do not like are the gems being part of my normal inventory. The leveling seems very long although this might be by design, I am however not used to it being like this. The items in the inventory look a bit underwhelming. The UI in general is a bit minimal for my taste. After all is said and done I would recommend this experience.… Expand

    Arpg of the era. Absolutely amazing attention to details. From gameplay, high end builds, to visuals, music and voice over, this should be the new standard of AAAA.

    Best in the series so far, been a long time Diablo player since the first one. Amazing how the game has evolved. The 3rd one was my least favorite, the 4th the best one IMO. Playing this on an OLED with Atmos and 4k120 is absolutely amazing. Kudos to the sound, music teams. Of course the visuals are a top notch too, this time much darker than the predecessor.

    I like it better than all the other Diablo games. Better story, longer more in depth characters, some emotion. I appreciated it all.

    If I HAD to be critical, it's the notion that I'd have to make a new character for seasons. But so far, I've had a great time with it. I'm happy I picked it up.

    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.
