    This game is complete trash. Especially in comparison to D3. It is soulless and empty. It is extremely grindy. Leveling experience is good until about level 10-20, than its just garbage. Super boring. The story is mid but mind numbing a couple acts in a not interesting to follow. The background art is utter trash. The world map is huge but its the same boring background of desert and plains. A lot of running and wasting time in the same boring environment. You never feel strong during the leveling process.

    I have been waiting for years for this to squad with the boys, but this is just garbage. Not even close to D3.

    I would refund if I could but you cant refund after 2 hours played. Blizz is officially dead. Soulless corporation that only wants your dollars. Buy this game if you hate yourself and the gaming community and want to buy bobby another yacht.    … Expand

    I'm here to give an actual honest review, because some people are saying good things about the game and then still giving it a 0 to follow the others who did the same thing.

    The game is good, and I easily got 200+ hours out of the game, because it is just that fun. That's more time than I get out of other games near the same price.

I'm sure a lot of the people who gave it a 0 had fun, and probably have just as much time into it, but then when the hate-train came through, their ratings were influenced by the hivemind. Giving the game a 0 is super dramatic and not even deserved. It just shows the herd mentality people have. It does have it's flaws, as does every game. The end game is pretty boring, but the seasons will add more fun and I'm really excited to see what the expansions bring to the table. The game has a great base to build upon for sure. The campaign is great fun, and the story is pretty engaging.

    8/10, because it's not perfect but it is good.    … Expand

    Diablo 3 is so much better...As an example:
    A wardrobe where you can store & save your sets/ builds. The Chest: You have so much space that you can deposit all Set items of all 7 characters, all gems, all legendary items and you still had space. The enemies do not scale with you.

    In D4 you don't have a clear explanation. What is Lucky Hit Chance? How does that work? You have to google what that means. There is no in-game explanation.
    Why do you get stuck with the horse almost everywhere? Why is there a cooldown for the horse (while riding fast)? Whats the Point? The whole game is too slow, is that on purpose? There is not enough space in the chest. And that vulnerability is probably one of the most annoying things in the game. It's even more annoying when you get crowd controlled, get frozen and then get dizzy while the monsters attack you and you can only watch until you die. And the season is probably the most boring thing I've ever seen. Too bad I already activated my season pass.

    I really regret that I pre-ordered the most expensive version of d4.

    Mechanics are watered down dumb **** it's a walk n' walk simulator, the story is good right up until the last 10 minutes when blizzard makes a complete Interstellar ending which sucks and makes the characters seem more stupid than they are and prepares for milking DLC
    (I know where they want to go with the story and it makes sense too, but it's done so miserably it just seems stupid)

    I've explored 50% of the map, and certainly haven't thought to investigate the rest - Big for the sake of big...

    I'VE ONLY DIED 3 TIMES IN THE GAME - IT F******TOO EASY And unlike before, even AFTER I have completed the campaign, I STILL CANNOT turn up the difficulty without grinding!

    And unlike D2 LOD or D3, I don't feel like there have been done any deep thought about the end game - I'm sitting here at the end and have completed a campaign I absolutely don't want to visit again and think "well and now what?"

    The 70€ price tag does valid this game,pretty graphics, medium game length, sub par story, and insulting dumb minded mechanics and difficulty for kids.    … Expand

    Edit: Changing my review to a 4 out of 10, considering the state of the game and Blizzard's stance/actions or rather lack of actions.

    The early game, up until 50, along with the campaign/story, audio and visuals, cinematics are a solid 8 out of 10. However, when you start moving into tier 3 and past level 60, the game starts showing its flaws and it goes down to a 4 out of 10: -    Edit: Changing my review to a 4 out of 10, considering the state of the game and Blizzard's stance/actions or rather lack of actions.

    The early game, up until 50, along with the campaign/story, audio and visuals, cinematics are a solid 8 out of 10.

    However, when you start moving into tier 3 and past level 60, the game starts showing its flaws and it goes down to a 4 out of 10:
    - There are basically just a few dungeons, rehashed, reused, jost changed a bit, with the same 5 bosses reused in them.
    - Obnoxious enemy design, that have built in CC mechanics, a lot of the melee enemies have some form of ranged ability that does massive damage.
    - Dungeon affixes are overtuned, when you get to tier 4 it shows real bad.
    - Chained CC on your character by the enemies, environment and dungeon affixes, it's not uncommon to be CCed for 3-5 seconds in a row with no debuff or timer indicators.
    - Items suck, too many bloated item properties, 90% of them conditional, they could have been reduced to less than 20 meaningful ones.
    - You stop gaining effective power after level 70, mostly due to not finding better items and partly also to the underpowered paragon tree, however monsters gain power with each higher level they gain.
    - Extreme gold costs of enchanting items, you can easily lose more than 20 million gold in less than 10 clicks.
    - Horrible game design, look at the stash controversy (tfor who whon't research the topic - basically they can't add more stash tabs in the game, because every time you go into an area, your game client will load the inventories and stash tabs of all the players in that area/game, no matter if you interact/trade with them or not).
    - Toxic community, avoid the Battlenet Diablo 4 forums at all costs, evey criticisim or complaint is met with toxic trolling and defending broken mechanics, no matter how obvious the points made in the initial post.
    - Constant nerfing of every fun by Blizzard, along to timegating, long cast times on every action like picking up objectives/items in dungeons, rescuing prisoners, activating levers.

    If you're only in it for the story, then take your time, you will enjoy the game, play what class seems cool to you, try out all the skills you find interesting.

    Hoewever, if you plan on playing into the end game, be prepared to run into a wall.
    You might not run into it at 60, or even 70, but you'll get there.
    Despite Blizzard heavily advertising #playyourway, that is false advertising, only the most overpowered builds are viable into the end game (post level 80), your campaign build will get demolished in tier 4.

    It's painfully obvious by the silence from Blizzards end and all the controversies they caused with their videos uploaded to Youtube, their refusal of acknowledging and fixing major issues, and the fact that they already made a ton of money, that they will never fix the game, they'll pump out a mediocre season every 3 months, with some dumb mechanics, and they'll continue to nerf the game, for the sake of "balance".

    Diablo 4, a game held together by the massive contribution of the art, visual, audio and cinematics teams, but brought below ground by all the game/class/mechanics design teams and incompetent developers.

    I want to be proven wrong by Blizzard one day, but I know they don't have it in them anymore, they died 20 years ago.    … Expand

    Diablo IV removes the fun from the Diablo series. I started playing Diablo when released in the late 90s and have played every version of the game since.

I got past 75 in season 1 and also burnt out again—no idea why they needed to make the levels 100 instead of 70 and such a grind. Anyhow, the game ends up being fun for a short time, like an hour, maybe two, then turns into pure frustration and aggravation quickly when I start getting chain CC'd and killed or 1 shotted by something that was off the screen, and I can't even see.

    - Paragonboards
    - Endgame does not feel rewarding. If i finish 50 ND on Lvl 80, i should get some serious xp and not even 1 Paragon point.
    - Looting boring cause too many useless stats (e.g. found a wand with overpower and poison damage on sorcerer)
    - Horses
    - No build variety
    - Most affixes just trash
    - prices for rerolling way too high
    - Endgame feels unrewarding and boring. You dont need to get to max level cause you can find on Tier 4 items with max item power. Your only way to get stronger is with paragon points, but XP on higher levels takes way too long. So you can reach your max item level at lvl 70-80. Then you can look for the perfect item with the perfect rolls. But because there are so many trash stats, i'd prefer looking for a needle in a haystack.

    Smaller problems:
    - running circles in dungeons
    - gold drop
    - stash space
    - Glyph leveling not rewarding and capped
    - Battlepass (666 coins)
    - Season Hearts trash and wasting space

    Good:
    - Graphics
    - Sound
    - Story

    The first 50 levels are quite fun if you play the campaign. If you still want fun playing Diablo, stop after campaign and go back to D2.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Had hopes at release and it looked so good.

    Played Druid and the struggle was real but didn't really accept it. Thought it was myself that was not focus on the build.

    The season came and change to Barb and had all the same experience. The struggle for continuing was so lame.
    Changed to Rogue and the fun really began. But at this time, I've had so much struggle of feeling strong and powerful I just lost all the joy in it.

    The itemization is a catastrophe, the farming for upgrading your gear is even worse.

    The gold you loot is so low that the only way to get gold is to sell items but then you lack mats. So you instead salvage the gear but then you lack gold. The hamster wheel of this is so bad. And if you imprint gear it transforms into a legendary, but the gear itself is not, just the color. So if you salvage the imprinted gear, it's just regular yellow. Might be getting legendary mats when salvage but I guess not.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: Good story, addictive per usual as a Diablo game for awhile until the endgame where it's a total droppoff in terms of wanting to keep playing the game, great music, great artwork as always from Blizzard.
    Cons: Aspect system is interesting, but I'd prefer a system of sets, loot for other classes like D2 had, runewords, etc. Expand on D2, don't reinvent the wheel. Horse is buggy. PVP doesn't really seem enticing. Social functions could be better. No replaying the big bosses once you hit endgame or skip the campaign. I'd love to fight Andariel and Duriel again!    … Expand

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.

Avoid forever (and debate avoiding other Blizzard games).

    Old review ((and updates)):
    Story is more of the same old stuff; not good, not bad. standard tropes. Ignore the few upvotes saying story is a 20 hour thing - for a player new to the genre it's around 40-50, for a person not trying to rush it should take approximately 30. ((this is now closer to 70-80 due to time increases and inventory issues))

    Audio: Music is good... until you've listened to it for 5 hours. it's good, but it's not good enough to listen on repeat. Other sounds are often out of place, and clash with the other aesthetics in the game.

    Color scheme is better than D3, but still (IMO) not as good as D2. Weirdly, I know too may people who have had "it's too dark" issues while it looks perfectly fine to me. May have been a bug from character choice or manually set to darker contract on their monitors. Main issue is the lack of difference between active things (chests, traps, hidden stashes, etc) and the general background; it doesn't matter how dark or light anything is when everything looks the same (within each area, there are differences between the areas).

    Speaking of bugs... yeah for many people it's basically unplayable. Hardcore is extra unplayable. There's no point in listing them all here as every week there are new ones which break the game in new and (not) fun ways.

    Combat is good for about 5 minutes of every hour. 90% of the time you'll be completely untouchable, then you get a hard CC or one-shot that will kill you and there's no way out of them other than being hyper vigilant with dashes and movement skills. Every class gets at least 1, and every class requires they be used to avoid these oneshots. It's not fun to play for 4 hours, get a bit complacent because everything is too easy (even in World Tier 4), then get oneshot by an off-screen elite.

    Skill-wise it looks interesting, but if you manage to play longer than 40 hours you quickly realize there's only a few actually viable builds (which they keep nerfing), which require specific itemization (which they keep nerfing and have terrible drop rates), which often have a requirement of a specific one or two abilities just because the class can't be reasonably played without them (which often forces players into a singular or "two options" type build for each class); looks like you have options, until you realize you don't.

    Items are often not even worth picking up to check. I can understand dropping lots of loot in a loot game - but it's impossible to enjoy looting even in a looter when nearly everything you find (999 of 1000, literally after level 50) is guaranteed to be completely useless for you and just clog up an inventory system that's already extremely limited. The other 1 you probably didn't pick up, and if not also just wasted 2 hours running back to town to sell (because after the first 30 or so hours there's no point in deconstruction). lose-lose.

    Constant lag issues + server drops for random pop-up maintenance means hardcore is 100% impossible for anyone who isn't getting paid to throw hundreds of hours at the game, and affects normal gameplay (non-hardcore) to the point of constant frustration.

    Shoehorned MMO concepts to "promote multiplayer" then providing no benefit outside of extreme exp grinding to actually do so. Feels like an excuse to make it always online which hurts the solo couch gamers and those with poor internet connections. ((multiplayer exp was further nerfed; multiplayer is just a hindrance now)).

    Even the updates don't make sense. it was already shown that average casual players would never reach level 100, many aren't even making it to 50. The response? tune the experience down and further nerf literally everything that made all the builds reasonable to play. Nothing but further slowing down progression and game pacing, while at the same time making everyone weaker (actually weaker, not just feeling weaker) regardless of what class or build they may be using.

    It's better than some games... so i'll give it a 2 but I really must say I have trouble believing the "good" reviews made in the last 3 weeks are anything but bots or multi-accounts for score bumping. maybe fanbois. Either way research before buying - this is not the previous Diablo titles. ((not anymore. just avoid it. Barbie Horse Adventure has more action))

Check the videos before release the game and compare your game. In most the time we run on the dungeons like a olimpic game. In the last patch this better but not enough, for example if you killed you reborn miles of the happen, sometimes in the start on dungeon, ok, its make sense to some penalty not to walk more time to fight. The patchs are slow to release, the game server is very lag, sometimes the screen hang and after release your are died And by end the elemental damage and defense its doubt if work well. If you increase elemental damage and defense on paragon board or your items and test after you don´t see anything. The damage is based on vulnerability only. Others sources not work. today in the current state of the game and considering the price it's not a good game.… Expand

    This sad excuse of a release has only made Diablo 3 look like a much better game than it is. I have never in my life seen a video game company ruin their own game as hard as Blizzard. It is legitimately a feat to consistently make the game worse and worse. Save yourself and your wallet, and just buy literally anything else.

There seems to only be about 20 monsters and the bosses are non-memorable. There's no Diablo at all!!! So how they call this "Diablo 4" is beyond me. The open-world feel is a cool idea, but what it actually does is confuse you as to where in the game you actually are. Honestly, the side quests are more interesting than the story ones. Feels like I may have wasted a bunch of money on this one, but at least I only bought the standard version. It's back to D3 for me. If they close it down then I'll be deleting battlenet altogether.… Expand

The game is so bad in fact that this will be my first time making an account purely for the sake of writing a review.

    Every patch is released with the intent of heavily decreasing player power, dragging the game out, or both. Players are banned every day for unknowingly trading with bot-farmed gold or outright just for trading between friends. This latest patch disabled trading altogether, because they can't do anything right. The game barely functions, the business practices of Activision Blizzard are egregiously predatory, and it's not even fun when the game does work.

    After the campaign, the game becomes a grueling and ceaseless grind to get 1% stronger via paragon levels, min maxing, and micromanaging gear aspects and stats. Classes like Druid have 75% of the late game builds gated behind unique items that have a good chance of not even dropping by level 100. The world mob levels don't even scale up after level 75, so Nightmare Dungeons are the only viable content in the game at that point.

    At the start of the season, the journey menu would automatically hover the button to activate the accelerated battle pass, and there wasn't even a confirmation dialogue if you accidentally clicked it. You can't try to say that a company with over 30 years of game development experience made a mistake with that. It's moronic at best and intentionally scummy at worst. On top of all that, the battle pass doesn't even give you enough in game currency to buy the next battle pass. What kind of joke is that? If you bought this battle pass and the next one, then used your platinum from those for the 3rd, you would still be 2 plat short for the 4th. And the cherry on top of this turd sundae is the MTX shop.

    The best "prestige" skins are on par with the base cosmetics in the game, while the worst aren't even worth looking at. It costs $25 for one set of cosmetics for one class that has a good chance of getting nerfed into the ground in the next patch, and that doesn't even include the "accessories" they try to pedal alongside it. What a joke. You'd be better off spending that money on a strong magnet to fry your old hard drive with.

    TL;DR This game is a grueling chore that you pay no less than $70 for the privilege of doing, and the worst part is these greedy scumbags can get away with all of it. Instead of buying this turd, you should buy Risk of Rain 2 for you and two friends. You'll be much happier for it.    … Expand

    We can all agree that Bliizzard unequivocally set a new standard for art direction and sound design with Diablo 4.

Well done to all involved.

The aesthetics are some of the best we have seen in the Diablo franchise and by extension the ARPG genre. The soundtrack goes a long way to create an atmosphere of despair and dread. Well done to all involved.

    Unfortunately, this is where the game excels and almost fails in every other aspect with the exception being combat. There are few other ARPGs that are able to create a tangible feeling of weight with the combat loop. I am not going to spend time covering some of the aspects of the game that fall short but instead, I will write about the core gameplay loop of an ARPG - loot.

    The loot system is designed in such a way as to nullify all possibility of feeling elated when that key item you have been chasing drops, and not only drops but, it has decent stat rolls, too.

    Chasing loot is depressing and its knock-on effect is to leave players feeling apathetic towards the loot system and by extension the game itself. Legendaries are underwhelming and reduced to either salvage or extracting the aspect if it’s useful to your build. This completely eliminates the feeling of joy you may have experienced with other iterations of the Diablo franchise or competing ARPGs when that item you have been chasing finally drops. The majority of loot is salvaged for crafting mats. I have spent more time checking the affixes on a rare item rather than checking legendary loot.

    Legendary aspects should have been an entirely different system. Aspects devalue legendaries to the point of irrelevancy.

    There should be a way to upgrade whites and blues to blues and rares, respectively. There should be other mechanics in the gameplay loop to help the player improve items and realise gearing goals.

    And then there are unique items. The decision to prevent players from rerolling stat affixes on unique items is frustrating and lends credence to the notion that some of the restrictive gameplay mechanics in Diablo 4 are designed specifically to keep players playing.

    Why can’t we reroll affixes on uniques? I understand (to some degree) why we cannot trade unique items. But not being able to modify the stat rolls is detrimental to the player base. Besides the fact, most of the uber-unique items in the game have such a ridiculously small drop rate you could play Diablo 4 for years and never see one of them drop.

    It’s frustrating, you can see that there is the potential for a great ARPG game lurking underneath. But Blizzard has squandered the opportunity to cement the trust they seemingly intended to rebuild during the buildup to Diablo 4 release. They had the opportunity to bury the embarrassing and infamous upset caused by 2018’s Blizzcon and the reveal of Diablo Immortal for mobile.

    Instead, they have reinforced the established notion that Blizzard is incompetent and incapable of releasing good games in the modern era.

    It’s a shame. Maybe Diablo 4 will shape to be a solid ARPG after five or ten seasons but for now, it’s a bitter disappointment.    … Expand

It doesnt matter what you try to explain it is the best for longterm with nerfs and with a overall poorly developed game, its the feeling of every each player that counts in the end.

A lot of the individual employees at Blizzard are capable of some good work, especially from the art perspective, but their overall corporate business practice continues to sacrifice actual player enjoyment and acts against player interest to maximize monetary growth.

    There also seems to be an air of superiority and lack of respect towards the playerbase when it comes to creating, and especially fixing, certain systems and issues. The famous "You think you do, but you don't" resonates even to this day with how they handle patches/updates and community feedback. There have been reports of fake stats, hidden background processes/calculations, purposely time-wasting practices... odd, unnecessary and unwelcome in this IP.

    Other than that... it's a great game. They went back to themes of western darkness/horror which I do so enjoy.
    Sound design is great, cinematics are great, whomping enemies feels great, graphics are beautiful.

And for most classes can only deal damage with core skills, meaning there are only 4 possible skills to build your character around. All other skills are just there for unstoppable or support. Between having to use 1/4 skills to deal damage and the powers on items being either insanely overpowered or useless, your character does not feel unique or customizable. I think the paragon board starts to bring out uniqueness, but it doesn't offer enough power to make a build feasible. It's mostly just there to empower one of the two builds you can choose from. Not to mention how slow it feels to traverse the board, and it's the last thing you get to and it takes a good amount of grinding to finish. This almost feels like it should be the early access, and they need to listen to the community and make some major changes. I'd really like to be able to build a character around any skill, not just the core skills, and still have it be viable. Monsters and bosses aren't challenging and have few mechanics. Starting a new character, there is no content from levels 1-50, and after you only have dungeons and helltides. It's not challenging or fun enough to make me want to continue playing the game. This game feels like it could have potential, but with frequent bugs, crashes, and not much to do it doesn't feel like a finished game.

    Pros
    Very cool cosmetics and a beautiful world
    Feels good to play
    No pay to win/ pay for power

    Cons
    Unbalanced in that some builds are not viable while others are broken with very little overlap
    Progression feels very slow, I like having the power tied to the character - but powering up a new character is so time consuming and boring I'm not really trying other classes
    Monsters and bosses do not have mechanics that make them fun to fight
    Crowd control is basically the only thing you need to be afraid of, and you can get around it with unstoppable
    Content feels very lacking and repetitive    … Expand

    Always online single player game? check. Predatory monetisation? check. **** seasons passes and bad design? check.
    I really liked what I saw when I played the beta, and I stupidly decided to get the game based on that good opinion, however since release of the full game I have been completely disappointed by the all the bad things attached to the game and regret spending money on it.

    Don't forget to vote with your wallet next time too bois, last time they got me was D3. Remember well and learn your lesson that Blizz we loved died a long time ago.

    This is a pretty sad end to a good franchise.

    It initially feels like a great quality game. But the further you go the more it exposes that core mechanics are completely broken.

    Since the original patches everyone I joined with abandoned it. Given we spent about 100 Euros each on it, we were motivated to give it a fair shot.

    They made characters feel weak and powerless, nerfing many end game charateristics and build while at the same time making the broken and frustrating loot system worse. So, where you would normally automatically change build, though it is painful, you cannot as they are totally gear dependant and the loot you need will never drop. I am have a lvl 77 druid and it is miserable to play at this point.

    But the core game just doesnt exist. There is literally no depth. They did nothing but mimic D3 in an extremely flawed way. Making it not only pure repetition, but totally frustrating and unrewarding. I got to the point of playing while listening to audio books and with the last patch, just gave up entirely as they made it worse and worse.

    I hear microsoft are buying Blizzard. I normally would not wish that fate on an enemy. But it somehow seems like a fitting punishment for a game company that lost all their best people, flirted heavily with woke and are now inevtiably, destined to go broke.    … Expand

    A disappointment and a waste of money, the story made me want to fall asleep multiple times, balancing is all over the place, and in return for your money you are supposed to smile and spend MORE money for battle passes, a hard pass as the game gets boring somewhere after 5h of gameplay

    Patch 1.1.1 made me realize that I will never build a seasonal character again, rebuilding my lvl100 fully geared character less than a month into the season is already a pain that I will not suffer.

    I realy wanted to love this game. Spent alot of hours in it and it played good, felt good and looked good. But thats not enough. Loot system is crap, damage system is crap, speed is crap oh and the company?! the Devs?!?! Pritty much just Evil. I hope with what they are doing everyone quits blizzard and activision and never supports them again. 0/10 I have lost faith

    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.
