    Really enjoying this edition of Diablo. The look and the feel of the game is great. I'm a long time fan of Diablo II and Diablo III. I think they've captured the dark and gloomy atmosphere from DII and combined it with the ease of playability of DIII and improved upon it with unique skill trees. I'm not a hard core gamer these days but I'm enjoying the story playing a few hours each night.Really enjoying this edition of Diablo. The look and the feel of the game is great.

    The Good:
    - Launch. It was one of the smoothest Blizzard launches (PC) I have experienced. No queues, no lags, no disconnects.
    - Story. For an ARPG the story was decent enough. Lilith is a great villain. - Atmosphere! Finally the diabloesque atmosphere is back. It's dark, it's gory. No more cartoons! - Content - D4 got more content than any Diablo before (not counting mods for D2

    - Launch. It was one of the smoothest Blizzard launches (PC) I have experienced. No queues, no lags, no disconnects.
    - Story. For an ARPG the story was decent enough. Lilith is a great villain.
    - Atmosphere! Finally the diabloesque atmosphere is back. It's dark, it's gory. No more cartoons!
    - Content - D4 got more content than any Diablo before (not counting mods for D2 obviously). Nightmare dungeons, helltides, world bosses, pinnacle boss... while definitely not perfect and could use some tweaking they keep me playing even after reaching 90lvl. Still not bored of either and I play couple of hours every day since launch. Sure it gets repetitive but it is an ARPG so... (baal runs anyone?).
    - The Butcher! What a great addition to the game. Finally an iteration that does the OG D1 Butcher justice. Let's just hope they will add more mini bosses like him.

    The Bad:
    - No map overlay? Seriously?!
    - Mount system. What the frell is that? Terrible in every way.
    - Loot. You can get an item (a unique for example) at 85lvl that is weaker than when you got it 10lvls ago. Items always require the lvl they dropped on to equip making it impossible to gear alts
    - Please... JUST STOP THIS "KILL ALL ENEMIES" BS!
    - A lot of minor things are bad or could be tweaked. Usually of a QoL variety. Almost in every aspect of the game. Stash, inventory, map, crafters, traversing to name a few. No "refund all" button for paragon points when there is one for skills?
    - As per usual with like every game/company the devs are VERY fast to nerf positive things but hibernate when some bugs are affecting the players in negative way - druid loot table for example. That being sad I personally haven't encountered many bugs.

    The Ugly:
    - Monetization. Yes, there are MTXs. No I don't consider them bad because they are good for game's longevity. D3 has nothing of the sort (let's not bring that abomination that was RMAH into this...) and the serious lack of content is very noticeable. I also don't consider them straight up good because it depends on how the devs will use the money. If they keep sucking the money without giving us any new content then yeah they bad.
    - Druid and sorc cosmetics
    - Ghost enemies

    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.

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.

This 1.1 patch overall was a good change and the individuals who are mad about it are individuals who were abusing builds that were obviously going to get nerfed, because why “WOULDN’T” they nerf something that does more than TRILLIONS of damage in a hit.

    If you’re playing the game and not relying on builds that were clearly a problem you actually have more of a fighting chance now for just playing the game like a game.

    Sigh.. i want to provide an honest review but it’s not like it matters nobody is going to read this and if they do wether you like the game or not the only people you’re going to listen to is your favorite content creators.

    The game is awesome! I played diablo 2 and 3 and the remastered d2.
    This one is great. Storytelling, voice acting, cinematics, graphics etc. Boss fights are fun, at least most of them. But hey nothing is 100% perfect!
    The gameplay mechanics are quiet similar to D2 so no comment on that one.

    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:

    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.

    After over 100 hours in, i finally feel legitimate to share an honest opinion. First, i will say that I would rate D4 9 out of 10, but i put in an extra point just to balance all the over-the-top backlash.
    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

    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.

    I believe the reason why I felt this was a success is that expectations were low. And with those expectations, I am very satisfied. Also, if I honestly rated, it would have been about 8. But, as I saw the rapid zeros, I have changed my mind.

    I very much like the changes they've made with Diablo IV to mix a lot of the best things about Diablo 2 & Diablo 3 together. This is a very different game than the former games and every day I look forward to playing it after my children are in bed.

    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.

    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.

    Gameplay is classic Diablo with many of its fun ARPG mechanics being enhanced if not perfected
    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.

    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.

    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.
