    The visuals and music are refreshing and polished, story is good and we can tell that this is only the first chapter in a broader scenario, the open-world is well handled, the launch was a total success...
    But here are the things this game does best imo :
    The activities are quite varied and you always have at least 3 different things to do that don't feel like a waste of time. Basically, you are free to hop from one thing to another and still feel like you're making great progress.
    Customization is amazing : the glyphs, talents, the absence of sets and the abundance of different legendary passives create a ton of different ways to optimize and try stuff, even within one particular gameplay, which is great when you compare that to previous Blizz titles such as Wow or Diablo 3. Of course, min-maxers will always find that one combination that performs 1% better than all the rest, but most players will just enjoy to have the freedom of choice to find what they enjoy best.

    There's so much more to say ; in my opinion, the main cons for this game are the lack of space in the inventory and some clarity issues with the attacks of certain enemies that can track and stun you, but that's overall really minor in comparison to the pros.
    The more i play it, the more I appreciate all the choices the dev team made. I'm totally sure that most of the ratings below 5 are people who played for less than 10 hours. D4 definitely deserves a try and it does not disappoint.    … Expand

    The game has just launch, most complains here are unfounded, so I will give my take on it, the game flows are incredible, the combat is as good as a arpg could be, a lot to be improved on the game, but it's the best launch a diablo have ever had.

    TL;DR: Dark, gory, atmospheric, beautiful, responsive combat and addictive gameplay with some confusing game systems and imperfect UI tooltips.

    Diablo IV is a good and solid, modernised entry that thankfully borrowed the good parts from it's three predecessors, and mashed them together in a beautifully designed familiar world with everything you want and expect from a Diablo game. The cutscenes (both ingame and prerendered) are incredibly well done, the music and sound are top notch, and on my low-to-mid PC and high-end PC, it runs extremely well, apart from a few rubber banding hitches.

    Now, that's all nice, but how is the one thing you'll be doing a lot: slaughtering demons, exploding spiders and butchering goatmen. Thankfully, Blizzard decided to use the combat from Diablo III as a guideline, where even though over time and patches, the numbers and attacks ramped up to insane speeds, D4 retains a pretty fast combat system, even though movementspeed feels quite lacking until you unlock your mount after a few hours of the campaign .

    The talenttrees are..fine. There are a handful of too many passives that don't do anything special apart from "increase x by y%" but overall, after gaining your legendaries with a pretty decent droprate, where skills exchange their "element" for example, a physical attack now counting as earth damage, opens up the talentrrees and tinkering to make a build around the gear you have pretty exciting.

    So, is it great? No, not yet. I foresee a plateau of of endgame where people feel "done" with the game quickly, But, with the hope as how D3 had free patch and (minor) content updates a few times a year with seasons, here's hoping D4 will have the same treatment, that new content, items, difficulties and talentbuilds will be available rapidly, together with some (hopefully not overpriced) expansion DLC packs with a new class and story act. But so far, it's a pretty good game.    … Expand

    I am genuinely impressed with the production quality, improvements and amount of content available in D4 at launch.

    D4 has improved upon its predecessor in literally every way and it truly seems like they met their goals of bringing a darker feel like d1/d2, better combat like d3, and a better progression system like d2.

    D4 has improved upon its predecessor in literally every way and it truly seems like they met their goals of bringing a darker feel like d1/d2, better combat like d3, and a better progression system like d2.

    The World: I cannot get over how much better the world feels then any other diablo game. It feels like we are running around an mmo, the verticality that was introduced and all the work you can tell went into every area.. I wonder how much time they spent building it, because it's great.

    The Story / Theme: Easily the best story out of the entire diablo franchise(I have PTSD after d3). So many moments i thought 'oh no, they are doing to kill x person off in a dumb way'. It.. never happened. I was surprised, laughed and had my jaw open at some points at well. It was good.

    The Gameplay: Combat feels good as it has since d3. Not really much to say here, feels like an improved version of d3s combat.

    The Progression / Itemization: They seem to have hit a sweet spot in progression / itemization. Between your skill tree, paragon boards, gems, item upgrades, affix rerolls and legendary power management. Out the gate has much more depth and control then any of the previous games without being too complex.

    Verdict: Diablo 4 really has taken the best parts of the previous games and improved upon each of them, some areas have advanced more then others but each has been improved upon. Creating an experience that will serve as a great foundation for them to build upon for years to come. Pair that with their large investment in the franchise working on two seasons and two expansions at any given moment it's looking like diablo 4 will be one of the great ARPGs of our time if the dev team continues to hit their after launch goals with the same quality and passion they did making the base game.    … Expand

    Game is great, perfect? Of course not. Story is great for a Diablo game and most ARPGs. Its simple enough to jump in but still has some complexities for those who want it. Not in the same league as PoE or LE though.

    If you like the Diablo franchise you will enjoy this. The haters just giving this game scores below a 6 are just angry man babies.

    - Certains endgames activities need a buff to rewards. Whispers and helltides are fun ideas but doesn't have as much incentive as Dungeons and are quickly left behind.

    Simply put Diablo 4 is an enjoyable experience for both casual and (some) harder core players looking to have a bit of fun in an ARPG. This review is centered more on the casual side of this but I'll make a note for players who want to GRIND this game out.

    Story
    ---------‐----------
    If you are a Diablo fan and love this game series' lore you will absolutely love this game's story. If you are new on the other hand I will say you may be a bit confused but there is something here for you to enjoy if you have someone explain things to you.
    I'll say this it's good really good but it's depending on the lore of the series if you don't want to look into that lore you won't enjoy the story as much.

    Gamplay
    ---------‐----------
    This is the act of playing the game and working with it's systems. The loop here is challenging but very VERY REWARDING and extremely FUN. It's tough but you can power through it!

    The classes are all satisfying and fun too!

    Playing the Barbarian you get a satisfying WACK to your attacks that you feel rewarded for!

    Playing the Necro you watch as enemies that have been debuffed lose their skin and fall to pieces when you kill them!

    As Sorcerer you watch as enemies may freeze and shatter or burn to death!

    These are just examples but they have a great loop here and that makes the game worth the asking price!

    PvP
    ---------‐----------

    PvP deserves a spot here its an optional experience and is an extraction based "gamemode".......it's better than every other Diablo (Not a big win)......but is unfortunately incapable of being balanced (Daze is stupid in PvP). Players will run from you when extracting which makes you feel like you've wasted your time going after them when they extract and it still let's them extract no blocking the extract. The level differences here are around 10 levels. Levels will win fights by default. Honestly would recommend not playing this as Blizzard said they would NEVER balance it.

    Hardcore
    ---------‐----------

    As for hardcore players......this is where the game loses some points class trees are small and provide a decent variety of builds (More than most ARPGs!) but all of your power will come from 50+ and the paragon board which is fun but......can kill the experience when all you're doing is grinding levels. The grind is there if you want it but gear feels sorta rewarding......a unique is always an interesting grab but the scaling takes away from the power progression quite a bit in trade for playing online which imo isn't worth it with the minor changes made for online play.

    Play if you want but don't expect POE levels of things to do that may turn you on or off for the game.

    Things to Note
    ---------‐----------

    Shop isn't pay to win and the battle pass is not going to be pay to win. Shop is expensive and is not okay price wise. This takes a point off the game as this game is already $70! If prices were normal I wouldn't take a point off.

    Game is Open World now which is a great change!

    Mounts are to be noted here as the open world is great BUT there are barriers EVERYWHERE which makes traveling unfun in some cases (Sounds like a small gripe but I wouldn't note it if it wasn't worth noting.)

    Summary
    ---------‐----------
    This game is a solid 8/10 with minor issues.
    Game is a GREAT casual experience as for hardcore there are a few dependencies for entry as endgame is not shallow persay but is definitely a turn off for POE style players. Play it for the story stay for the gameplay!    … Expand

The game's visuals are impressive, featuring detailed environments that effectively convey the foreboding nature of Sanctuary. From eerie forests to desolate wastelands, each location feels distinct and adds depth to the overall experience. The attention to detail in the art design and atmospheric effects creates a moody ambiance that immerses players in the grim and treacherous world.

    Combat in Diablo 4 is engaging and enjoyable, particularly for those who revel in hack-and-slash gameplay. The fluid animations and impactful abilities make every encounter thrilling, as you unleash devastating attacks against hordes of demons. The variety of character classes provides different playstyles to suit individual preferences, offering options for both close-quarters combat and long-range spellcasting. Although combat mechanics may not introduce groundbreaking innovations, they do stay true to the satisfying and addictive core gameplay that fans have come to expect.

    Diablo 4 features an open-world design that encourages exploration and discovery. The vast landscapes are filled with dungeons, side quests, and hidden treasures, making each journey off the beaten path feel rewarding. While the open-world aspect is a departure from the linear structure of previous Diablo games, it offers a sense of freedom and adventure that breathes new life into the series. The day-night cycle and dynamic weather system add further immersion, creating a living world that evolves as you progress.

    The narrative in Diablo 4 aims to delve deeper into the lore of the franchise, and while it may not be groundbreaking, it does provide an intriguing backdrop for your adventures. The storytelling is serviceable, with memorable characters and cinematic cutscenes that drive the plot forward. However, the pacing occasionally feels uneven, and the narrative fails to reach the same heights as some of its predecessors. Nonetheless, the story provides a solid foundation that sets the stage for potential expansions and future content.

    While Diablo 4 has its share of strengths, it's important to acknowledge that the game is still a work in progress. Some areas, such as itemization, endgame content, inventory management and UI customization could benefit from further refinement and expansion. Additionally, occasional technical issues and balance concerns may arise, impacting the overall experience. However, Blizzard's commitment to ongoing updates and improvements gives hope for the game's future.

    In summary, Diablo 4 may not be a flawless, but it presents a solid foundation upon which the franchise can build. With its captivating world, satisfying combat, open-world exploration, and multiplayer focus, the game offers an enjoyable experience that holds promise for the Diablo series. As updates and expansions continue to shape the game, Diablo 4 has the potential to grow into an exceptional addition to the franchise.    … Expand

    It is funny to watch how some people are desperately trying to review bomb one o the the most solid game releases of this year. It shows that the big problem in gaming nowadays is not only the industry that makes games but also the hordes of immature whiners incapable of enjoying anything in life.

    Diablo IV is the first Diablo game I've gotten to experience at launch. I've played 2 and 3 and I have to say that this game does all the right things to make it feel like a Diablo experience while updating some critical old gameplay design that is no longer relative in today's gaming space.

I've played 2 and 3 and I have to say that this game does all the right things to make it feel like a Diablo experience while updating some critical old gameplay design that is no longer relative in today's gaming space.

    Gameplay is classic Diablo with many of its fun ARPG mechanics being enhanced if not perfected in the latest entry. It is also very easy for someone who has never played Diablo or any ARPG to pick up learn from the prolog and easily start experimenting with a build and different weaponry.

    Classes mostly stem from the classes back in Diablo 2 which this game seems more heavily inspired by then the last entry Diablo 3. Classes seem so unique in their own right and their builds are also very customizable as well. From what I've seen most classes have 3-6 builds they can make on just one character. For example, I'm playing as a Druid who is a shapeshifter and uses the natural elements as spells. I could make a Werebear only shapeshifter build or Werewolf only or a combo of both and a combo of all of them combined it is very customizable to your own play style.

    For the open world I think it makes sense for a Diablo game epically their move to a more MMO Destiny type experience where the open world has events and other players roaming around killing Demons! Many may see this as a negative but i see it as a positive especially sense the Dungeons the bread and butter of Diablo's gameplay loop are only for you or your party.

    At the end of the day if you liked any of the Diablo's pick this game up especially if your newer to the franchise, I think many will enjoy it.    … Expand

    Wow! The amount of crybabies that need to review bomb a game because "they" don't like it or that something is not handed and fed to them, is ridiculous. I truly hope those people bought the high-end version of the game and do not get a refund. That would be based af.

    Anyways, is this game Diablo 2? No it is not. Is this game Diablo 3? No it is not. If you want to play a game like    Wow!

I truly hope those people bought the high-end version of the game and do not get a refund. That would be based af.

    Anyways, is this game Diablo 2? No it is not. Is this game Diablo 3? No it is not. If you want to play a game like "boomer-ville" Diablo 2, then guess what? You can still play Diablo 2 (Resurrected even) and enjoy your "1-2 builds per class, killing Baal and Meph over and over" gaming session. People forget how repetitive Diablo 2 is just like all ARPGs. You act like that's not happening in those games still. Diablo 2 this and Diablo 2 that, STFU and move on.

    Now, is Diablo 4 a 10 out of 10? Absolutely not, but it's definitely not a 0-4, either, hell even a 5. These whiners wanted something that was not Diablo 3 and they got it and they are still crying. They will cry until the end of time and review bomb things they can't comprehend. Because everyone is cooler and keyboard warriors on the internet, but I'd bet half of them can't put together a sentence and talk in-person.

    Also, stop pre-ordering games. You don't want the so-called "trIplE A gAmEs tO tAkE my mOnEy" then stop pre-ordering them. You can't pre-order something and then cry that it sucks and ask for a refund. I be these are the same people who pre-ordered Anthem and Cyberpunk as well. You never learn do you?

    Always online? It's 2023. If you don't have the internet then you have been living under a rock. Always online has been a thing since Neverwinter Nights in 1991, but people adored it. Ya'll are just adding it to the list of things to cry about because you joined the masses to hate on Blizzard who has done nothing, but make improvements to their culture and games.

    Now the game; yes it is worth $70. You're going to put 70 hours or more into it and that's a measurement I go off. I know some think you need to only pay $10 for 5,000 hours of gameplay, its hard, but you'll survive darling. I see a lot of build-cryouts too. Guess what? You're gonna log onto Maxroll and pick the top tier build anyway, just like you did in Diablo 2 and as you still do in PoE. The game is a week old and you don't think there will be patches and build diversity coming? You obviously do not play games then.

    It's not Diablo 2, its not Diablo 3, and it's not PoE. It's simply a new take on a cool series. You will have fun more than likely. I challenge you to not look things up and actually play the game yourself. Watch a streamer play it. Check out a friend's game before you buy it, whatever floats your boat, but DO NOT listen to the review bomb society because they can't get their nuts to drop who are going to farm the same things over and over for that one extra stat point on one piece of gear and scream "GG blIzzArd."    … Expand

    What is good:
    Story (the main story takes you from 1st city and gradually move to all other cities with interesting actions)
    A lot of references to 2nd part (Meshif, Andariel, Duriel and so on)

    Video scenes and actor voices
    New reputation system for all your fighters
    Sounds and music

    What is not good:
    Balancing with autoleveling system. Im not really sure that this is only one decision for online games, they could invent something more interesting.
    Online. You need ethernet connection for playing (even for main story, not additional actions). I don't mind against other players in my world, but servers lag sometimes and my ethernet connection sometimes breaking, so game returns my progress.

    Build diversity ? I'm seeing complaints of "there's only 10 builds". You guys are ridiculous. Did you already make those 10 builds ? Do you not expect things to evolve in the future ? Maybe give the game more than a week before dismissing it ?

I played Lost Ark some and the money grab of that game made it truly unplayable. That was so bad, I quit playing all games for a little while.

I played Lost Ark some and the money grab of that game made it truly unplayable. That was so bad, I quit playing all games for a little while.

    The BAD: Going to get this out of the way first. The biggest detractors are easily the quality of life issues. No doubt, a separate gem bag should have been obvious from the moment they started coding the game. I also like map overlays from other games, including D2. The ability to search for items by stats should also be a thing. All of these things have probably been pointed out and should be easy fixes for Blizzard to implement. These should have been obvious for this genre, but really, the game has only been out a little over a week. Name the last game that didn't have any misses on day 1...

    The GOOD: The game is fun. It plays well. The graphics are great and the main quest is fully voice acted with fantastic cutscenes. All things I would expect from the Blizzard games I grew up playing. (I know Blizzard has had a number of L's in recent years, so I was worried.) The endgame being nonexistent is maybe a hardcore player's issue. I am enjoying the open world aspects of the game, thought I kind of wish they would spawn world bosses and legion events a bit quicker so there was always one to go to (i.e. Guild Wars 2).

    The BEST: This game is NOT P2W... The in-game shop is garbage and that is a great thing. It is not even remotely tempting to pay money for any of the skins. With mobs exploding up all around me, I can't even see my character a lot of the time and couldn't possibly care less about it. Disclaimer: My last truly hardcore ARPG playing days were D2 where all the characters literally looked the same and I didn't care then either. So, the best part of the game is that, for the first time in ages, I feel like I have bought a game and don't need to open up my wallet again.

    So, if you want to play a fun game without worrying about getting your wallet out every other day, this is a great game and I would absolutely recommend it. I am sure they will fix the quality of life issues and everything else has been honestly fun.    … Expand

    Im a casual gamer. I loved Diablo 1, the second edition wasnt appealing, the third lost me completely. However my brother told me, i think you would like the fourth edition as a casual gamer, so i tried it, and he was right, i really enjoy it.

    Is it a hardcore RPG, no, is it a fun game killing time, doing mission, looting - yes.

By doing this it ensured they weren't wasting resources and time by creating things that players didn't like, and the end result is amazing.

    It's well worth the price tag for me. Even if the level cap was 50 I would still buy the game at it's current price, because there's enough content to keep me busy for many many hours.

    The story is great. The side quests are fun. I skipped everything on my first 2 playthroughs of the campaign but on my 3rd character I watched everything and listened to all quest dialogue on side missions.

    There's a variety of different things to do at end game, so you can focus on specific things or do a little bit of everything depending on what you like. There's no wrong way to play.

    Making your own build is fun and rewarding, and you can make a build that is intricate and unique without being overwhelmed by the complexity. I love both the skill tree and paragon tree, and it's easy to change/modify some things without that dread of having to re-do your character.

    I look forward to spending thousands of hours over the coming years in this game, trying out different classes, builds, playing the seasons etc.

    I would go as far as to say this is the best game Blizzard has ever made.    … Expand

    The game is an insanely absurdly addicting dopamine slot machine simulator. I think the open world really adds to this, and not having to play the campaign more than once. Which was really good and set the tone in my opinion but also was a bit of a slog.

    I have a Druid at level 72 and find the build diversity on him to be amazing. I don't feel the need to follow strict meta, just leveled through a build that was theory crafted and sounded good and strong, did end up being pretty meta, but I deviated and did different things and haven't even looked at end game meta build. I'm still changing and tweaking my build.

    I can't wait to play the other classes as well, but my next power boost is always tantalizing close, usually achieved by the end of a good day of playing, not multiple times throughout the day. Which is a a slow pace and feels like feast or famine, but it makes sense to me that's how the game will start to try to keep it controlled and contained, as power creep is inevitable, and there's going to be thousands of more gear sets and meta builds in the future.

    Haven't been this hooked on a game in a long time and I feel like I have months of replay ability with this base game, possibly even just within the Druid class even, though I will choose a different one next.

    This is one of those games that makes me so happy that I'm actually here for it, and a gamer at this day and age. It really feels glorious.
    However I think with a strong build anywhere close to meta as mine is it's a bit too easy, the sweet spot is being under leveled in a new difficulty and overcoming that, that's when side quests and basic dungeons and exploration feels amazing and immersive, with the possibility of death. Once the overworld and then the basic dungeons become too easy the enjoyment starts to fall off, and it's starting to happen a bit at 72 right when my build is starting to fully come together.

    Nightmare dungeons aren't good enough to sustain that for very long imo, so I will likely then stop the character once I finally get my build completed where it's destroying in the overworld, (It's already doing very well but I want to add another 0 to my damage) and start the next one until higher WTs (difficulties) come out. Which is fine in my opinion.

    I don't think NM dungeons are a suitable end game, they should just be the thing to do to get levels and push difficulty until you can make it into the next difficulty, which doesn't exist yet, but is coming according to leaks.

    And that's fine I think, I think for launch that is actually acceptable, so long as it doesn't take a whole year for more difficulties to come out. Because to me that's the sweet spot is coming into a new difficulty with new challenge, better AI and better monster density, that's what makes the game exciting to me.

    NM dungeons aren't good enough to grind forever, they are too boring and repetitive. But I'm sure that blizzard knows this. I am super excited not just for this games future but also the content that I have available to play until that fleshes out. Which I'm hoping works out smoothly, which I definitely could see that happening. Like I will play every other class, I will rebuild my 71 Druid, I will create another fresh Druid, maybe the same for the other classes too. That is a LOT of content to hold me over. The atmosphere is incredible. It oozes inspiration from the original 2 diablos. It's delicious and next gen.

    Would give it a 8 or 9 but all the 1 and 2 reviews are just insane and weight the rating down way too much. It's like the 4 Chan clown bus or something. Like if you look at their other reviews they rate all AAA games at 0 but weeb and waifu indy games at tens, its pretty clear where this brigade is coming from.    … Expand

The design of the game's systems is nothing short of inspired, engaging for both newcomers to the genre and long time hardcore ARPG veterans, not too complicated but deep enough to have interesting choices to make. After over 150 hours of gameplay I'm still excited to start my next session. The writing is easily the best of the Diablo series and the casting for the voice actors is perfect, Lorath serves as our Narrator thoughout the game and his voice is enchanting. Gameplay is tight, responsive and an absolute joy, destroying the legions of hell has never felt so good. Every class feels powerful in it's own way, allowing players to choose the class they resonate with without feeling bad about not picking what is "optimal"; on that note, balance is good here too. It's not perfect, but Blizzard is keeping up with nearly daily updates and hotfixes, making sure nothing egregious stays in the game for very long. It all comes together to make Diablo 4 a triumph of game development and it will undoubtedly keep players coming back for many years to come.… Expand

    This game isn't diablo 1-3, but I wouldn't even call it anywhere close to being like immortal

    GRAPHICS AND HOW IT RUNS: I currently run a High Performance rig and limit my FPS to 60 overall. The graphics in this game initially looked a little watered down compared to when I played the beta, but I contribute this to the fact that I just didn't play a lot of the beta. This game does not cause my computer to run warm at all and I stay at that solid 60 FPS on high.

    STORY AND CHARACTERS: I will probably come back and edit this later, but so far the story has my attention, with that being said I haven't run into anything that bores me other than some of the characters, something about their accents and dialogs just doesn't fit right to me.

    GAMEPLAY AND MECHANICS: They reduced mob density by a large amount in this installation. Honestly, I am completely okay with that. It feels better to kill a few more challenging enemies than thousands of small enemies I would just one shot. This also makes the way you build so much more important. Do you wanna be able to kill something quick? Obviously. But some bosses just aren't build around you being able to do that so you actually have to think instead of mindlessly attack enemies.

    Overall, I will provide updates to this review but wanted to put something honest out to float around in the sea of people complaining about lag or their connection problems, I have not had a single problem logging in and staying logged into the game other than initial release. I do not mind this being what I guess would be callee a "live service" game. Most of us have internet nowadays anyways.

    TLDR: It's not my favorite game right now, but it's better than what a lot of people are saying it is.    … Expand

    En tant que fan de longue date de la série Diablo, je suis ravi de dire que Diablo IV est un véritable retour aux sources de l'univers sombre et captivant qui a captivé des millions de joueurs à travers le monde. Ce nouvel opus est une véritable prouesse en termes de graphismes, de gameplay et d'histoire, offrant une expérience qui dépasse toutes les attentes.

    Tout d'abord, les graphismes de Diablo IV sont tout simplement époustouflants. Le jeu parvient à créer une atmosphère sombre et lugubre qui reflète parfaitement l'univers gothique si cher à la série. Chaque détail est soigneusement conçu, des environnements sinistres aux monstres terrifiants. Les effets visuels sont saisissants, et chaque coup d'épée ou explosion magique est accompagné d'un spectacle visuel éblouissant.

    En ce qui concerne le gameplay, Diablo IV a réussi à perfectionner la formule qui a rendu la série si addictive. Les combats sont fluides et intenses, offrant une variété de compétences et de pouvoirs pour chaque classe de personnage. L'arbre de compétences a été repensé de manière à offrir aux joueurs une plus grande liberté dans la création de leur style de jeu. De plus, le système de loot est extrêmement gratifiant, avec des tonnes d'équipements légendaires à découvrir, ce qui incite à l'exploration et à la progression.

    L'histoire de Diablo IV est également un point fort majeur. Les développeurs ont pris le temps de créer un scénario riche et profond, rempli de personnages complexes et de retournements de situation inattendus. Chaque quête et chaque dialogue contribuent à l'immersion dans le monde de Diablo, et l'intrigue principale est captivante du début à la fin.

    Enfin, Diablo IV propose également un mode multijoueur en ligne qui promet des heures de jeu en coopération avec des amis ou en affrontant d'autres joueurs dans des combats intenses. L'aspect social du jeu est renforcé grâce à des événements mondiaux et à des donjons partagés, ce qui encourage la communauté à interagir et à collaborer.

    En conclusion, Diablo IV est sans aucun doute l'un des jeux les plus attendus de l'année, et il mérite amplement toute l'excitation qu'il suscite. Avec ses graphismes époustouflants, son gameplay addictif, son histoire captivante et son mode multijoueur passionnant, il s'annonce comme un ajout exceptionnel à la saga Diablo. Que vous soyez un fan de longue date ou un nouvel arrivant dans l'univers de Diablo, vous serez certainement séduit par cette expérience immersive et sombre. Préparez-vous à vous plonger dans un monde de ténèbres et d'aventures épiques avec Diablo IV.    … Expand

    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.
