    The latest patch proves that this entire game was just a cash grab based on nostalgia. The devs are so out of touch and this patch completely proves it. I fell for the trick because of the Diablo name and I'm truly disappointed. Fool me once blizzard... never again.

    You basically take everything that players are asking for, put it in a nice list, and then throw it all in the trash and do the complete opposite. You just don't listen. Don't care. You have our money and we got a broken, unbalanced, messed up game. I play a sorc too, and you just keep defiling it further.

    Good: -Nice graphics, proper aesthetic. Bad: -Every zone is copy/pasted, and    You basically take everything that players are asking for, put it in a nice list, and then throw it all in the trash and do the complete opposite. You just don't listen. Don't care. You have our money and we got a broken, unbalanced, messed up game. I play a sorc too, and you just keep defiling it further.

    Good:
    -Nice graphics, proper aesthetic.

    Bad:
    -Every zone is copy/pasted, and looks EXACTLY the same. You NEVER feel like you're anywhere different.
    -Every town looks exactly the same.
    -Every town has a 50-mile radius around it, where you cant run with the crap horse until you're outside of said radius.
    -Game is full of bugs. Endless endless bugs.
    -Game has major memory leak that people have reported since the first beta, and is still not fixed.
    -Game has persistent sound-bug issue where the voiceover will become bugged with echos and weird dungeon effects applied to dialog, and then never goes away. Not with a reinstall, or anything. Reporting it for months gets no reponse, either.
    -Characters are unbalanced beyond words. Tuning them results in ruining them, versus improving them.
    -Forced MMO & forced online only play, but then has zero MMO features and nothing of convenience for your forced-experience. You can't even chat with the world, outside of Trade, and they STILL HAVENT ADDED A GLOBAL CHAT. As if this is so unbelievably difficult.
    -QoL and conveniences from past games have been just, completely left out of this one.
    -Zoom on character is so uncomfortably close it makes you feel weird, and you refuse to add option to zoom out further. It's obvious it can be done, because it's done on horse, and for world bosses, or higher peaks in land. Will you ever address it? Nope.
    -What year does it need to be when we are able to party with more than just 4 people like this is a LAN party or pure-console game? I play on PC. In diablo 2, I could have 8 people in a group. This is so utterly annoying and old.
    -No room in stash, and can only buy 4 stash tabs. You know perfectly well adding the ability to purchase more is as easy as your ability to nerf %'s on a spreadsheet that controls the game. Just stop.
    -Can't simply just 1v1 your friend if you want, must go to FoH and then risk others coming in and ruining your dueling and trolling, and since you can't request to duel outside of FoH.... this is just rudimentary.
    -Mount is practically unusable, between having to stop every 10 seconds to climb a cliff, it can barely walk 1 foot forward without hitting every single solitary piece of terrain that there is.
    -Every single dungeon is a copy/paste of another. All of these dungeons, yet I haven't been in a single one that has felt different from the next. They literally took the shell of one, and then made it "icy", then copy/pasted it, and made it not icy, then copy/pasted it, and switched the pathways around. It's pathetic.
    -If you want any actual updates you're forced to follow these clowns personal accounts on Twitter. So if you want game updates you gotta see PezRadar shirtless and pictures/stories about his "gains journey", and whatever else, instead of actually using or communicating on the forums where everybody is, asking for some acknowledgment. If they don't like your comment on twitter, they block you. Rob Ferguson is the worst. He's 80 years old, and takes everything personally. Has no idea what this generation of gamers wants, he's just another slob like Jay Wilson, telling people what they want because "he knows" and we dont.
    -Because they have no end game, or anything else actually fun in the game to do, they made leveling and progression even slower and more miserable, then proceeded to gatekeep the world tiers. Why? No reason, other than to just do the exact opposite of majority-ask and make it more miserable. You know, cause helping friends level up so you can play together is so blasphemous.
    -Did I mention the items/itemization is absolutely and utterly horrendous? It's so bad. It's so stupid. 500 useless dumb buckets of things and then the comparison thing, don't even get me started. It feels like a special-education team came up with some of these concepts.
    -Item drops: they're trash. They're all trash. And, if you're a cold sorc and you want gear for.... a cold sorc... you aren't getting it. You're getting 90% gear for fire/light. So you literally find the opposite of your build, 90% of the time. It's on purpose too. Odds don't work that terribly.

    Games are supposed to bring joy, and fun. The only thing this game does is genuinely infuriate me while playing it, and the experience is miserable. I'm not sure how I even lasted this long. But I feel absolutely zero joy from this game. It feels like a job, not a break *from* my job. Everything's a copy/paste with minor alterations, including the cosmetics. LOL, explain why the sorc has FOUR of the same exact helmets with small differences like a string, or a barely noticeable color change?

    Game sucks.    … Expand

If you want to have an ALT character, forget about it, since all the stash space is almost not enough for a single character, and if you want to find a specific item in your stash good luck, since there is no filter to help you find it, you will have to look one by one to find what you are looking for. And if you want to respec your character there is 2 problems: You need to unlearn one by one all the hundreds of paragon points and have millions of gold to do it. You cant save multiple builds like in Diablo 3 or WOW. On top of that the game is EXTREMELLY CLAUSTOPHOBIC! The zoom is at least two times closer than previous games, you barelly can appreciate the landscape since all you can see is 5 yards away from your character... Want to have a ranged character? Good luck having to always play in melee range since you cant see enemies until they started attacking you...… Expand

    Diablo 4 - Hellishly Underwhelming Disasterpiece!

    Oh boy, where do I even start with Diablo 4? It's like they took all the excitement and joy of the previous games and banished it to the darkest corner of the underworld. I mean, I expected a game that would have me burning with excitement, but all I got was a burning sensation in my eyes from rolling them so hard. First off, let's    Diablo 4 - Hellishly Underwhelming Disasterpiece!

    Oh boy, where do I even start with Diablo 4? It's like they took all the excitement and joy of the previous games and banished it to the darkest corner of the underworld. I mean, I expected a game that would have me burning with excitement, but all I got was a burning sensation in my eyes from rolling them so hard.

    First off, let's talk about the graphics. You'd think with all the time they took to develop this game, they could have at least made it look visually stunning. But nope, it's as if they hired the artists from the early 2000s and told them, "Hey, let's make this game look just as outdated as possible!" It's like playing a game from the past, but without the nostalgia to make it enjoyable.

    Now, don't even get me started on the character customization. I thought we were living in the future, but apparently, in Diablo 4, character creation is stuck in the Stone Age. Your choices are basically limited to "Generic Warrior #1," "Generic Warrior #2," and "Generic Warrior #3." It's like they hired a group of clones to design the characters, and they all decided to be as bland as humanly possible.

    And the story? Oh, it's a rollercoaster ride, alright. A rollercoaster that goes straight down into the pits of disappointment. It's as if they took a copy of the plot from Diablo 3, scribbled all over it, and called it "original." I won't spoil it for you, but let's just say you'll be yawning your way through the supposedly "epic" cutscenes.

    Oh, and the loot system. Remember how exciting it was to find those epic legendary items in the previous games? Well, in Diablo 4, you'll be lucky to find a rusty spoon and a pair of old socks. The loot is so underwhelming that even the NPCs in the game seem to pity you when you show them what you've got.

    But wait, there's more! Let's talk about the glitches and bugs. I've seen more bugs in Diablo 4 than I've seen in a termite-infested house. It's like they hired a team of insects to do the coding. Game-breaking crashes, disappearing items, and enemies stuck in walls like they're trying to escape this train wreck of a game.

    And don't even get me started on the exploits, since day 1 the game was exploited massively by all the bugs found in the game. Fixed? Well yeah, after everybody abused them and nobody got punished. Imagine spending 300-400 hours in game to grind a working set for your build and overnight the build gets nerfed so badly to the ground that you need several minutes to kill the first pack of elites in any dungeon you enter. Was so satisfying… NOT!

    In conclusion, Diablo 4 is a fire that even Hell itself couldn't muster the enthusiasm to fuel. It's a game that seems to have forgotten what made its predecessors great and instead opted for a soulless, glitch-ridden catastrophe. Save your money, spare your sanity, and go play any of the previous Diablo games instead – you'll thank me later. Hell, you'll thank me now.

    Game had potential but the devs have ruined it more and more with each patch. As a Diablo-fan since the first game I think I can finally see the end of this franchise. It's more about making money than creating an amazing gaming experience nowadays. You learned Nothing from your playerbase OR your competitors. It's sad!

    Old review ((and updates)): Story is more of the same old stuff; not good, not bad.    Update 1.5 months later: Game is trash. deceptive practices, ignorant attacks against it's players, more bugs being introduced than fixed, marketing "campfires" where they gaslight their audience and ignore/attack any feedback... 0 score. 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))

    Diablo 4's decision to slow down the gameplay feels like a misguided attempt to inject realism into the experience.

The once satisfying and fluid combat now feels clunky, sluggish, and devoid of the frenetic pace that made previous Diablo games so satisfying.

    What made the    Diablo 4's decision to slow down the gameplay feels like a misguided attempt to inject realism into the experience. While I understand the developers' intentions, it has regrettably resulted in a lack of excitement and engagement. The once satisfying and fluid combat now feels clunky, sluggish, and devoid of the frenetic pace that made previous Diablo games so satisfying.

    What made the previous Diablo titles special was their flawless inclusion of grinding mechanics, encouraging players to immerse themselves in repetitive battles in the pursuit of powerful loot. Diablo 4, however, seems to have undermined this integral aspect. The pacing is now so tedious that grinding becomes a monotonous chore rather than a satisfying endeavor. The joy of seeing your character grow stronger through countless encounters is sadly diminished due to the artificially imposed slowness.

    Moreover, the game's overall rhythm suffers as a result. Diablo 4's slower-paced gameplay undermines the thrill of exploration and discovery. With less urgency and intensity, the environments lose their allure, becoming mundane and uninteresting. The lack of immediate and gratifying feedback from battles exacerbates this issue, leading to an unsatisfying player experience.

    To be fair, Diablo 4 still possesses the franchise's trademark dark and atmospheric visuals, along with a compelling storyline that immerses players in a bleak and foreboding world. However, these redeeming qualities cannot overshadow the significant flaw of slowed-down gameplay, which ultimately eliminates the very enjoyment I sought in this new installment.

    In conclusion, Diablo 4's decision to significantly slow down the gameplay is a baffling misstep. While attempts to add realism may have been well-intentioned, they have resulted in a tedious and unsatisfying experience. The absence of the once-enthralling grind dynamics and the lack of intensity and urgency in combat thwarts the overall enjoyment of the game. As a fan of the series, I sincerely hope that the developers reconsider their approach and find a way to recapture the fast-paced magic Diablo has been known for.    … Expand

    I played Diablo 2 for a decade, and what kept me playing for so long, after so many years without any new content was how much fun it was to explore new builds, and treasurer hunt. Second to this was the fun in trading rare drops to rapidly gear other characters and explore those builds across different characters. Third was the experience of joining games and helping other players.

    I    I played Diablo 2 for a decade, and what kept me playing for so long, after so many years without any new content was how much fun it was to explore new builds, and treasurer hunt. Second to this was the fun in trading rare drops to rapidly gear other characters and explore those builds across different characters. Third was the experience of joining games and helping other players.

    I play the sorcerer and my experience has been that the way Diablo 4 is designed makes me feel like none of those things are an option. Character builds are restrictive, trading doesn't exist, and the treasurer hunt doesn't exist.

    I'll elaborate on that build restriction and the treasurer hunt. Items and damage output scale incredibly linearly in the game. There's never a massive damage increase for finding a rare unique, because they simply don't exist. Everything is frustratingly incremental.

    This is further exacerbated by how much spell damage is tied to items. In diablo 2 you could increase your damage by investing points heavily into skills. You could diversify your play style on your own terms. Items served as a way of intensifying those choices.

    Diablo 4 requires that in order to diversify your play style you must first "unlock" the right to do it by finding the right aspects at the right quality, which depending on how often you play may never happen.

    You can't run a build at an un optimal damage output or at a trade off such as defense. This is again exacerbated by how the game forces the sorcerer to play in melee range to maximize damage output because of the reliance on the vulnerability mechanic that is hard signed to the Frost Nova skill. This is a double dip on skill selection. You cannot run a build with out vulnerability, and you cannot ignore defensive stats in favor of a glass cannon play style because of it. So you are forced to use skill slots on even more defensive skills to push through even the mid game. As so much damage output potential is tied to defensive ability, but at the cost of build diversity.

    All this would be fine if you could more easily boost your damage potential to mitigated the defensive requirements. Which leads me back to why the treasurer hunt is so boring. You don't find much that will rapidly boost your damage potential. It's all incremental and quite frankly boring. The treasurer hunt doesn't exist not because things don't drop, but when they do it is almost meaningless. You just barely stay ahead of the curve through the entire game. Not only that, but you constantly have to swap gear out for marginally better equipment which becomes annoying and tedious.

    You don't enhance your build with items, you look for items to even begin to see a build. And then when you find items, you maybe be SOL if you find something with the right stats, but the wrong aspect. So now you have to grind to find the right aspect to imprint on the item that has the optimal stats and that new item with the optimal stats just sits there unusable until you do.

    Talk about taking the wind out of your sails.

    I don't think there's anything that can save this game for me. I think the fundamental design is broken.    … Expand

    They broke the game with S1 patch. Go play Path of Eile, Last Epoch, or BG3 instead.

    This game is decent in the beginning but dies off quick with a sluggish gear grind after 50. Not worth the time investment. Not to mention the devs make horrendous game changing (breaking) changes off the cuff

    The game director needs to go, the entire D4 team is turning blind and deaf toward community feedback. Instead of listening to feedback from beta and make the first major patch a QoL improvement, adding new content or just general continuous improvement.

    Latest patch showed utter disregard for players experience and time, in an attempt to draw out content. Terrible foreshadowing for future content.

    The campaign was decent, but the developers seem to not know how to balance the game. They simply take the highest usage mechanics and nerf it, but they do not take account for the fun factor. Games are supposed to be fun, but the developers have forgotten that.

    With the recent 1.1 patch, blizzard has made it very clear that they are either completely out of touch with their player base or that they just don't care. They made promises that they didn't keep and in some cases did went in the opposite direction with the game design.

    Devs are completely out of touch, and think nerfing everything (like cooldown reduction by 30%?!) to slow people down is a substitute for adding additional content. Don't waste your money.

    Don't waste your time on a game run by developers that do everything they can to extract money from you as a consumer while simultaneously going out of their way to make things unnecessarily tedious, slow, and frustrating for you as the player. I've never seen such a disconnect from developer to playerbase in my entire life.

    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.
