    Blizzard doesn't care about making a meaningful game . All they do is nerf .

    Not the best ARPG, but definitely could ascend to that level within a few seasons.

    I really tried to like this game.
    Ive been watching pre- and reviews in which they said "It's like diablo 3 just better" so I didn't wait, like planned, till the season starts. I bought it to launch.
    Oh boy, were the outlets wrong and oh boy have I been stupid. Yes the game is just like Diablo 3 but better… Like a slightly better launchversion of Diablo 3. Diablo 4 is a tedious slog.    I really tried to like this game.

    Diablo 4 is a tedious slog. The story is quiet nice, if you like it.
    But besights of that it is nothing else than a collection of boring chores.
    I am especially annoyed by Activision Blizzards behavior.
    They nerfed everything for the first week.
    All the dungeons which you could use to level up were literally obliterated.
    Sorry for heaving fun in dungeons with high mop density.
    Then finally they said it's now time for buffs.
    And they came and were actually good…. Until they took everything away from us, just to stretch game time.
    I don't even talk about the class nerfs.
    It's about the stats and the experience…
    The worst it that they did not even publish every change.
    They kept so many changes in secret, it is just embarrassing
    Would love to get a refund for this game but sadly this is not possible..    … Expand

    Between the worst patch in the world and broken builds… this is a disgrace to arpgs. Never have i ever played an arpg with this many cool down problems and bugs… on top of that the most recent patch absolutely killed the fun builds. Level 100 running around like a headless chicken waiting for my skills on cool down. Wait theres a catch… blizz nerfed it even more…

    I will give a rating of "2" only because of the graphics, optimization, cinematics and storyline, otherwise it's definitely a "1" as the worst game in the series.

    Pros : Music, Graphics, Combat, Story.
    Cons :
    -No "find party",
    -Uniques you won't see in your lifetime,
    -Extremely tedious to levelup in end-game
    -Only weak legendaries, nothing feels strong
    -Lack in-game info ( need to search online )
    -Devs that nurfs all the good builds
    -Mount is buggy, gets stuck everywhere
    -Too much promotion for the in-game Shop
    - etc...

Maybe you’ll be the lucky 35k hour player who gets it ;) oh also we hear some classes are abit strong so we decided it’s best to sort that out like for example Sorc crazy class too over powered so we decided to delete it out of the game.

    The gameplay feels slow and unsatisfying, with long cooldowns forcing players to wait before engaging another pack of enemies. Additionally, the occurrence of random one-shot deaths and permanent crowd control effects only adds to the unpleasant experience.

    Personally, I believe that an action role-playing game should be fast-paced, allowing players to swiftly navigate through maps and dungeons. Unfortunately, Diablo 4 falls far short of what I consider to be enjoyable for this genre.

    It's disheartening to see the developers taking the game in this direction, and as a Diablo 4 player, I feel that, at best, they misunderstand the essence of the genre, and at worst, they disregard player feedback and fail to respect our time.    … Expand

The endgame is definitely less interesting, but I believe that some repetitiveness is intentional so that content can be added in the future. Diablo's mechanics are simply that, and they may not be to everyone's taste, but you cannot expect the game to stray too far from its identity.    … Expand

    Done with Blizzard and their focus on monetization. You'd think they would learn from their previous Diablo titles and improve on this. Guess I should not be surprised with how they handled Overwatch 2 and the direction the company is taking. Hate the fact that the cooperate greed is more important that a quality game.

    - Lack of varied endgame activities
    - No rewards for tackling more difficult content (no special rewards for pushing higher nightmare dungeons or killing uber boss)

    - No easy way to group up for nightmare dungeons or other content
    - Mount movement is trash
    - Enchanting items is absurdly expensive (quickly gets to the equivalent of farming gold for 5+ hours) and you are given no indication what possible rolls you might get
    - Massive class imbalances
    - Lack of build diversity
    - Technical fixes take ages to implement
    - Most disconcertingly, devs do not appear to have a vision for the game and are not addressing player concerns

    Stay away from this game! Diablo 4 lacks in almost all the areas that make an ARPG great. Wait at least 2 years. Perhaps by then the devs will have made enough improvements to warrant playing the game.    … Expand

As players, we seek a sense of fulfillment and progression, yet the developers seem to overlook the impact of their actions, neglecting to thoroughly evaluate and experience their own creations. Consequently, this raises valid doubts about the forthcoming seasons – why should I invest time and energy into building a character and reaching a commendable milestone when the developers may simply erase all my efforts?

The game wasn't perfect, but it was thoroughly enjoyable, at least throughout the campaign, and for a while after. Patch 1.1.0a happened, though, and as a result I'm actually giving the first zero I've ever given in any review on any site. Without fixing anything the community considered a problem, the patch gutted player damage output and survivability, across the board. Nerfs happen, we all know that. In this instance, however, there's a strong case to be made that they simply felt players were getting too far too fast, and that crippling them would further sales of their season pass tier skips. I've never seen a worse patch, much less a worse first major patch, and unless Blizzard reverses course, I'm done with the game. Right now, I just feel like a sucker for imagining they'd actually done something right.… Expand

    Diablo 4 is worse than a bad game. It's an experiment to see how much money you can extract for the least amount of game possible, ethics be damned. How low can we go and still get away with raking in cash? It's anti-consumer and damaging to the industry.

    Devs made a good campaign to reel you in. You get hooked for awhile but then you start to realize you're doing the same thing over and over.

    Eventually you'll skip events, leave/sell countless worthless items, and die to something you either don't see/make a single mistake.

    Devs are purposely sabotaging their own game now, to get more customers later when they fix the game.

    On release, the game had quite a few issues.
    * Gearing is bad (you're literally only looking for % damage increases or your classes main stat), the mods on items have conditionals but you simply just don't use mods with conditionals that aren't up close to 100% of the time.
    * The horse is an absolute insult, it's barely faster than walking on foot even if if worked correctly and it does    On release, the game had quite a few issues.
    * Gearing is bad (you're literally only looking for % damage increases or your classes main stat), the mods on items have conditionals but you simply just don't use mods with conditionals that aren't up close to 100% of the time.
    * The horse is an absolute insult, it's barely faster than walking on foot even if if worked correctly and it does not most of the time on top of that your movement speed on the horse is dependent on your mouse distance from the center of the screen, what dev thought this was a good idea is beyond me, what actually happened is probably that someone ported this from their console implementation and thought it's good enough (it's really not).
    * The endgame basically doesn't exist. You farm the same Nightmare Dungeons and that's it, there are other activities but they're either much less fun or the game forces you into it, for example, you have to do Helltides so you get necessary materials for rerolling mods on items, if those weren't exclusive to Helltide events you just would not go there, on top of that the decision to make them timed makes it even worse, you can't even farm them whenever you want.
    * To add to the extremely bland and uninspired end game, everything is scaled, so you feel like you aren't really progressing towards anything, gameplay wise it really doesn't make a difference if you're farming Level 30 or Level 90 Nightmare dungeons, as soon as you can do higher tiers you just move up and all upgrades you made are relativized again making you feel like you constantly just spin in a circle, except the interface on the left now displays a higher Nightmare dungeon level.
    * The only thing you have to look forward to is Uber Lillith which, while it is a challenging fight it's mostly through throwing the same boring mechanic at you that just simply oneshot-kills you on contact.
    * The general balance is horrible, certain classes are leaps and bounds better than others, balance within classes is just as bad, not only is Sorcerer extremely bad in general, unless you play Ice Shards the already bad class becomes even worse.
    * To add insult to injury, Sorcerers also play extremely bad, you're expected to have a Spender skill which drains your mana and a generator skill which generates mana, eventually you're supposed to generate so much mana through gear and talents that you no longer require a generator skill, however, up until that point sorcerer is extremely painful since the generator skills are simply worthless and quite literally deal only around 5% the damage of your spender on top of not generating all that much mana so eventually you just come to the conclusion to just not use a generator since instead doing nothing and waiting for passive mana regeneration is more effective, which makes for insanely frustrating and straight up boring gameplay, on top of Sorcerers numbers in general being a joke compared to other classes.
    * While I've seen people praise the story I for the life of me cannot understand the general good sentiment, while the story itself isn't bad it's really nothing special, it contains a lot of sections that pretty much feel like filler which really isn't acceptable for the pricetag and the campaign being a main selling point, on top of that the villain often doesn't feel consistent and feels schizophrenic, however, not in a good, intended way, rather it feels like multiple writers were responsible for different sections of the game and said writers simply never communicated with each other.
    While the cinematics are really nice and well made, the story they depict is pretty nonsensical and requires some amount of suspension of disbelief, the ending itself had potential to be quite good but then turns out hilariously bad and is simply just an incredibly bad setup for the next DLC.

    All in all, the meme saying that caught on really is true and summarizes the entire game in just 5 characters; D4 Bad.

    Oh, the devs aren't done yet though. All issues mentioned above are from the launch state of the game. You'd think the first major patch of the game would alleviate at least some of the glaring issues people had with the game, instead, they managed to fix almost nothing and instead managed to simply make the game straight up worse, for example, cooldown reduction was blanket nerfed which means Sorcerers have even more time to think about why they're even playing this game in between waiting for their cooldowns and mana to come back.    … Expand

    The recent patch notes prior to the first season are just the tip of the iceberg, blizzard is absolutely tone deaf and somehow managed to kill of the last few parts of the game that were even remotely rewarding.

    If you want to play the first season, you better not choose you class by playstyle or lore preference, because chances are, you will be unable to complete the endgame.
    You need to look up guides and third party sites, to make absolutely SURE, that your favorite class did not just get gutted SO HARD, that it is now, in the truest sense of the word, UNVIABLE.

    I really don't get it, you have such a good opportunity to get a massive game with nearly the whole world knowing and supporting this franchise, and you just throw it into the fire... Again.. Sad.

    Blizzard is not doing great at most lvls with their games, but this proves everything.. They are completely out of touch    … Expand

    Campaign and game were great, the thing is that u spent hours and hours farming equip or spending millions and millions to reroll stats for your best spec only to find out that they patched and now you can trash everything.
    And it's not even a competetive game! I understand that season will bring new powers but what about the casual ppls who wanted to finish uber lilith in eternal?

    Boring repetitive things over and over and over and over and over again til you reach 100 where you have nothing to do except a buggy boss and tier 100 dungeons. Which btw you cant do with the build you like but only with builds blizzards wants you to.

    The game was okay - had a good core, combat felt satisfying, story was average. End game gets boring long before you've reached level cap.

End game gets boring long before you've reached level cap. D2 stands head and shoulders above d4 with regard to item variation, crafting and customisation. Set items don't exist - and just incase you were struggling to stay motivated after discovering every single unique you find is simply crap - you've already found them all long before you even reach level 60 because the lootpool is what you would expect from a game produced for the Magnavox Odyssey.
    Still, I was looking forward to playing the season, mostly because i felt i was still owed something after paying £60 and getting something half cooked. So then comes patch day - and i'm reading the patch notes - i sort of glazed over. It felt like my brain was slowly falling away like a wet cake. Nothing new, or exciting. No much needed, glaringly obvious class adjustments. No inventory changes. No essential endgame goals - nothing whatsoever to keep you hungry. No changes to the excruciatingly droll dungeon mechanics - one shots, bombs, stormbane, etc but we did get an increased lootpool... but its in single digits. Ultimately - it was a flat, 30 - 40% net stat reduction. Builds that were interesting, fun to play and usually crafted over long hours now lay completely broken due to the CDR% shrink.
    The patch was cobbled together on the back of a **** packet as a lazy attempt at artificially extending its shelf-life by decreasing the power of the player - without any regard for its outcome, without providing any alternative and without any consideration for how it would impact what is essentially the beating heart of any ARPG - your talents/skills and build. A truly underwhelming and frankly despairing effort. I'm relieved i won't be returning. 1/10    … Expand

    Started well bar the numerous bugs and some screen tearing, but gave up due to tone deaf development. Does not bode well for the future of the game and I won't commit time to a game if I don't feel it is well spent/rewarded.

    it's disgusting and humiliating. As a veteran D3 player, Stay away form this game and possibly from this company.

    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.
