    Diablo 4 is a setback from Diablo 3 by far , visually stunning but lacking in Gameplay.

    Could the dev team fix the barbarian class?
    They are weak and pathetic, Please buff the barbarian class and stop nerfing it.
    And stop slowing down the game it is an extremely lazy and greedy way just to retain players.

    The game is fun to play for a bit but when you get to the end game it is awful.

    Resistances don't work.
    A lot of mechanics that are frustrating, not fun to play and unfair.
    You can't scroll and you only see 5m around your character. I've died so many times from attacks that start offscreen that I can't even remember. Being killed by an attack that is off-screen is not fun at all.
    Stash is limited to a few items and gets cluttered by gems and seasonal items.
    The game could be a lot better and most of the stuff wrong with the game is easy to fix but they don't even try to mime that they are trying to fix it. (This is not really true, they seem to be trying to fix it, hopefully they will do it and I can enjoy the game better)
    I've got my money's worth out of the game at about 50h played, fun enough in the beginning but everything goes to hell really fast after lvl 70-80 and becomes boring as hell and the problems with the game are ever more frustrating and not fun.
    I play games to have fun and frustration is not fun. I've wasted about 15h now just to farm renown. I would actually prefer to have to do the campain again and the reward should be 100% renown by the end of the campain. This should be a choice. Forcing yourself to do side quests just to farm renown is simply retarded. I'm not sure who thought of this was a good idea but I pity the fool.

    Update: I've decided to update my review and give it a 6/10. The game can still be fun if you don't take it too seriously and I've already gotten the $ back from it. I've played it about 120h now and I've enjoyed it most of the time.    … Expand

    Takes all the things D3 did well (eventually) and ignores them. After you complete the campaign, you will find yourself running the same content for minimal reward. The loot and itemisation is terrible. I haven't found an upgrade for one item for over 40 hours of play, and that's for a level 50 item, not an end game item.

Poor inventory management. The skills and paragon board in theory offer lots of options, but in reality, unless you want the game to be even slower, force you down a meta root.. if you wanna be meta, you better be ready to read other websites. Always online, whilst being almost impossible to get a group going. Touted as having 100s of dungeons, but theres only 15 different bosses at the end (not that any of them make any difference as they're just mobs with larger health pools)
    If I hadn't been stupid enough to already have paid for Season 1, I would not be playing. I will end up doing what I did with Diablo 3, and coming back in a couple of years when they've sorted out an unfinished mess.

Gets boring and repetitive after a while and not enough to do endgame to make it worth playing endgame, but it's still a fun ride. Hopefully the endgame will change and evolve like POE and have a lot to do a few seasons in and I'll update my score and review then. The clan is a fun thing, but no real purpose other than a group finder which would be nice and maybe better to have in the game.… Expand

    The game is so laggy that it is unplayable.
    The settings are all wrong, and it is clear that the developers do not understand the game.
    The game is full of ridiculous bugs that are clearly the result of bad programming.
    The developers seem to be more interested in making the game as difficult as possible than in making it fun.

    I really tried to like this being a D3 Barb leaderboard veteran.
    Level scaling sucks, Feels like constant chore instead of fun.
    Finished the battle pass rewards at lvl 64 and have no incentive to finish season journey as the rewards are nothing, Didn't even make it to tier 4 and none of the gear I needed for druid dropped, So it was nothing but struggle every encounter.

    They spoil the entire story in the opening cinematic by telling you how it ends. Then you just chase Lilith around the entire game, always a step behind. Your character sees her in the flesh once at the end of Act 2 and the only other time your character meets Lilith is when you kill her.

    Beyond that, there is literally no endgame. There are like 50 dungeons that you do in World Tier 1 at Level 1. And the "endgame" is running those exact same dungeons at a higher level.    … Expand

    We will not be developing an endgame, we will just nerf the classes and reduce the experience gained. And we will also sell the battle pass without confirmation.
    Oh yes, we will also change the balance in each patch.

    I don't like every monster level in the game being the same as yours almost all the time. You level up and become weaker because monsters receive more than you.
    There is such a low number of classes and builds to pick (and almost all of them are the same from past games). All the characters work the same way (use skill to generate resource to use main skill). You just don't have any purpose to grind that annoying leveling: the events are not that cool and don't give specific rewards. Why kill lilith if she doesn't have a chance to drop something good?
    Now the worst part:
    The feel that the devs are just messing progression so you don't progress and stay in the game more time because QoL was attacked. No map overlay (D1 in 2000~ had map overlay). Nerfs on characters there are already feel clunky in a slow paced game. Nerfs xp by nerfing dungeon. Nerfs on aspects.
    No trade system at all. No solo option for leveling that is close to group playing. No matchmaking or some party finding system. No clan activities. Tons of "shops/crafters" and most of them are far from portal.

    Blizzard ruined Diablo.

    The entire world scales to the player level, meaning no matter what you do or where you go, the challenge and difficulty level feels exactly the same. Sure you get new items and skills, but it still feels like it takes the same amount of hits to kill enemies no matter what level you are.

    Itemization is confusing, and it feels as though you are always making a trade-off when equipping a new item. There are very few times where you will equip an item and it will be a net positive improvement. A lot of items also offer boosts to specific skills, meaning you'll need to pay to respec your character to invest in a certain skill to maximize your damage. Charging the player to do this seems diabolical.

    There aren't that many memorable bosses, the open world is flat out boring and empty feeling, and the multiplayer system doesn't make sense. There is no way to matchmake and join groups, and there is also no offline single player mode.

    I know exactly what Blizzard is doing with this game and I'm not going to waste my time. I got this game for free and I'm still upset and uninstalling it. I will now check out Path of Exile. Blizzard, RIP.    … Expand

    After I finished the campaign, I felt uninspired and not engaged into continuing playing, there is no reason to keep playing as there was on the previous games, the entire open world felt empty, half of the missions feel absolutely meaningless, the devs not just made me waste 70 dollars, they decided it was a brilliant idea to put inside their full priced 70 dollar game a paid premium shop and a paid premium battle pass, I literally feel like Blizzard is squeezing me for my money and I feel as I got nothing in return, I wish I could had got a refund because it was absolutely NOT worth my money, it was one of the most unsatisfactory and unwelcome game experience since I played Diablo Immortal, another terrible release IP of Blizzard, it is really sad to see what they did to Diablo franchise, it is a no return train to deception to the fan base, and the entire experience feels empty, these are no longer games for the players, Diablo 4 was not made for you nor for Diablo fan base in mind, and Diablo 4 is a fine example of predatory game company degeneracy and its truly insulting to all of us who have been following to this franchise for so long, Diablo 4 for sure was what the Diablo franchise needed to completely prove to their Diablo fanbase that the franchise is dead, what is left behind is a rotten corpse of a game that pretends to be Diablo, but its nothing more than a money grab machine.    … Expand

    If Blizzard didn't have stupid 2-hour gameplay rule refund policy, I would have filed for refund long ago. Played for 3 weeks.
    Balance doesn't exist even among classes. Level 55 Barbarian easily outdamages level 75 Necro.
    There's no build variety. Each class has only one viable endgame build. Difficulty spike after campaign is insane. On Torment you can be one hit killed by regular mob.

PvP is a joke, people running one shot or one button builds doing millions to billions of damage in one hit while a Necro minion build does not even do a fraction of that damage unless you run a brain dead meta build. The seasons in D3 worked, the seasons in D4 will not with this current paragon leveling system.

Why do players have fun, let them run half the dungeon after death to mobs, die dozens of times from endless control, farm nightmarish dungeons with resource burning ... Why fix this?

    Daher mal sachlich eine Nüchterne Bewertung von mir, der die Reihe seit dem ersten Diablo Teil spielt und bislang alle Teile / Expansion-Packs mit jedem Charakter mindestens einmal durchgespielt hat - ohne in das Late-Game-Grinding zu verfallen.

    Welt-Design/Atmosphäre: Volle Punktzahl (10/10)
    Die Welt ist absolut liebevoll designed. Ein Schritt zurück in die Dungeons von D1-D2 - kombiniert mit der moderneren 3D-Engine, die in D3 Einzug gehalten hat.

    Gameplay: 7/10
    - Ein Punkt geht weg, für die MMO-Open World (kein Mensch will wirklich LordLongDong über seinen Bildschirm laufen sehen. Diablo ist ein Single-/Party-Player game - kein MMO.
    - Ein Punkt geht weg für den Online-Zwang
    - Ein Punkt geht weg für die teilweise unfertige Programmierarbeit / verfrühte Veröffentlichung.
    Davon abgesehen ... der innovative Skill-Tree, das Paragon-System, die Monster, das deutlich stärker auf den Playerskill fokussierte Gameplay, die Aspekte... all das sind wirklich gute Neuerungen. Es gibt noch ein wenig Luft nach oben, aber - alles in allem macht das Spiel wirklich Spaß. Auch wenn man - wie ich - keine 40h-Woche im Spiel verbringt, weil einen inzwischen das echte Leben ereilt hat :D

    Fazit:
    Für einen Casual-Spieler, dem es nur darum geht, die Story zu erleben, dürfte es eine 10/10 sein.
    Für einen Diablo-Fan erster Stunde ist es in jedem Fall noch im Bereich "sehr gut".
    Für einen Story-Skipper und Late-Game-Grinder ... ja, da war das letzte Update vermutlich ein Spielspaß-Killer.

    Diablo IV seems to be an unfortunate misfire from Blizzard, a one-time titan of the gaming industry, now a far cry from what it once was. While it retains the atmospheric dark-fantasy aesthetic and haunting soundtrack that were the strengths of its predecessors, Diablo IV fails to carry the torch in more substantive aspects.

    The greatest disappointment lies in the game mechanics themselves. The depth of character customization, one of the core appeals of Diablo III, seems to be stripped down, instead opting for a rigid and uninteresting class system. The diversity and adaptability that once gave Diablo its replay value now lies buried, replaced by an oversimplified mechanic that undermines the core experience.

    Gameplay becomes even more frustrating due to the myriad of bugs that continue to plague Diablo IV despite numerous patches. From crashing servers to a seemingly endless list of technical issues, the game's execution comes across as unpolished, almost amateurish.

    Diablo IV also stumbles in its inclusion of East Asian themes, which feel out of place and inconsistent with the series' established aesthetic. The incorporation of these elements feels disorienting and disjointed, betraying the traditionally dark medieval, gothic ambience that fans have come to love. It's as if in trying to cater to a broader global market, namely China, Diablo IV loses its roots, its identity. The once-respected Blizzard seems more interested in broad market appeal and profit maximization than maintaining the thematic integrity of Diablo. The end result is a confused hodgepodge that feels less like a Diablo game and more like a mercenary cash grab, further underscoring that Diablo IV is not worth its weight in gold.

    The overpriced in-game purchases are not justifiable by the provided content. Moreover, the game's initial hefty price tag is a slap in the face to the long-time fans of the Diablo franchise, who have been promised a game experience that Diablo IV does not deliver.

    The story, once a strong suit of the Diablo franchise, is woefully underwhelming in Diablo IV. The plot lacks depth and the storytelling is haphazard. It feels more like an attempt to recreate the success of the previous installments, without capturing what made those narratives compelling in the first place.

    Under the new ownership, Blizzard seems to have shifted its focus away from producing quality games for its fanbase. This should give gamers pause and question the ethics behind where their money is going.

    In summary, Diablo IV feels like a shell of what it could have been. It's a watered-down, bug-ridden, over-monetized shadow of its glorious predecessors, caught in the jaws of corporate greed and negligence. It is a hard pill to swallow for long-time fans of the franchise and it's a regrettable introduction for new players. Despite the hype, Diablo IV is not worth its exorbitant price tag. It's a bitter disappointment for those who expected Blizzard to revive the brilliance that once was Diablo.    … Expand

    I have never felt the need to review a game, I have generally enjoyed all of my purchases, I’m pretty easy to please! I generally did research on games before purchase but always purchased Diablo games totally blind after my experience with Diablo 1… expecting more greatness… I was not disappointed with Diablo 2 or 3, I was immersed from the first day! Sadly Diablo IV is the first gameI have never felt the need to review a game, I have generally enjoyed all of my purchases, I’m pretty easy to please! I generally did research on games before purchase but always purchased Diablo games totally blind after my experience with Diablo 1… expecting more greatness… I was not disappointed with Diablo 2 or 3, I was immersed from the first day! Sadly Diablo IV is the first game where I feel cheated, I did not at any point in my 2 playthroughs enjoy the game (Both I did through sheer stubbornness, it’s not as though they took very long). How is this possible!? Heads should roll.

    Even if Graphics, Music, Story, Ambience and so on are 10/10 if the game is not fun to play it should get a 1/10 score. But those things are also all bad!

    So I’ve had to go with 0/10. I hate this game.

    Story, 2/10

    The Lilith Arc had so much potential and the first act showed that potential but it soon ended, so much lore behind the franchise at this point, and while it got a little bit interesting at parts it should have been 2x to 3x longer! I felt so deflated when I finished the campaign… is that… it? Nothing ground-breaking, almost a copy & paste job from the stories of previous Diablo games.

    It is also missing the crucial cut-scenes when moving from one act to the next, ruining progress immersion. In previous Diablo games travelling from one act to the next felt like a major step forward, major plot progression contained… in D4 it involves running for 15 seconds from one zone to the next! zzzZZ.

    Graphics, 2/10

    Good rendition does not = good graphics, the game feels like a copy and paste job, it has no soul; all the towns feel the same, dungeons the same, bosses the same, after my time playing Diablo 1/2/3 I anticipated a wow factor at the potential of a Diablo IV World! Sorry but none of it impressed me, this is not a Diablo world!

    And why are we so zoomed in? Because the game has no cool details, the camera zooms out sometimes, you can count them on one hand. It says a lot about how confident they felt about the world they created :(

    Think back to all the amazing zones in previous titles, the battle-scenes, the hellscapes, the beauty of heaven, the unique dungeons, while playing the game’s campaign you’d be in a new zone every few minutes, new monsters, venturing through dangerous caves to get to the next waypoint, fighting back hordes of hell… nope, none of that in Diablo 4 :( it all passed you by in one fluid blur of disappointment. Many times in the campaign you’ll travel from one town to the next without encountering a single enemy.

    Music, 1/10

    Repetitive to the extreme, dull, unexciting… I’d give it 0/10 but the music from the brief hell cutscene was decent.

    Ambience 0/10

    Is this a Diablo game? Everything feels the same, same zones, same monsters, same dungeons, same towns, same music, same bosses… due to the copy & paste graphics, lacking soundtrack and lacklustre storyline I never felt immersed in the world they have created, even Hell (In the brief 10 minutes we get to see hell) was empty and boring.

    Gameplay 3/10

    What can I say? it’s an ARPG, nothing too bad but nothing special. This is a very poorly balanced game so after the campaign you are restricted to a very limited amount of builds which the developers are constantly trying to re-balance long after release and multiple beta tests… many of these builds are totally reliant on very rare loot drops that a casual will never see, the item system is unrewarding to anyone who cannot invest hundreds of hours into the game every playthrough, casuals be damned! To make it worse monsters continue to scale as you level, a run of bad luck could see your character castrated.

    Replayability 0/10

    After the campaign is over it becomes Extreme repetition after an hour or two, there is no repeatability to this game, play end-game for 2 hours and you’ll have experienced it all! You get World Bosses (Cool for the first encounter, not for the 2nd), Helltides (Killing limited monsters, more of a drip than a tide, while random players in your world kill ahead of you, it can feel very empty), and Dungeons, with a very limited selection of Dungeon Types and Bosses. It gets boring fast.

    Time / Reward Ratio 3/10

    It is unrewarding or too easy. The campaign is far too easy, on my second playthrough I made it as difficult as I could, even after a so-called ‘nerf’ patch but still breezed through it with zero challenge (25+ levels lower than my first playthrough, starting from absolute scratch in Season 1). Beating the game felt unrewarding.

    And then there’s the loot system which just feels awkward, Everything is good!.. but 99.99% is bad. In my 3 weeks playing I got 1 dopamine rush for one good item dropping. I’m sorry I’m not investing 1,000 hours to build a character.

    I could go on and on but I've run out of characters. Read the reviews before buying this game.    … Expand

    Original review:
    Honestly the game had a great starting point and there was a lot of hope. The story is amazing, the art and world they built is awesome. The gameplay and balance reek of mismanagement and horrific decision making by people motivated by how long people play rather than if the playtime is enjoyable.

    They're slowing everything way down and killing the game. They nerf anyway to acquire gear that isn't NM dungeons, buff the amount of gear that drops in them but lower the quality by adding worthless stats that no one is using AND we don't have a loot filter to sort out if anything decent drops...AND we have little to no storage space for saving gear we might want. They don't respect your time or themselves with the changes we've seen. It's a shame to ruin a game that had this much promise.

    Such a bummer of a game. Im a sucker for nostalgia so i admittedly was going to buy this game no matter what. But why... did I buy the battle pass... before it came out. I was DONE enjoying this game as soon as campaign was over, so like.. 20hrs? Mind you this was before season 1 even had a release date.

    Now it feels like a dang chore to try and get 'my money' worth of the pass. Ive honestly considered asking for at least the season pass to refunded. Level 70-100 was boring and completely void of milestones. Multiple builds, all strong, and still boring. Starting a new character/class for the season isnt a new concept in the genre, but the early/mid/end game grind just isnt worth it by any measure. There is no 'Pop off' moment in progression. Its such a slow game, it doesnt hit 'Action' in ARPG enough to keep my interest, nor does do RPG well enough to keep me invested or care. Theory crafting and gear feels like a toddlers toy where you match the shapes or colors. I legit need to take a nap after a couple hours of gameplay or grab a coffee or do literally anything else.

    To best sum up gameplay: It feels like a dream a where you're trying to run but instead move very slowly. Fun fights are usually poo'd on by frost CC, it really feels like someone on player 2 controller is unexpectedly tapping the pause button like oldschool nintendo games. The sandbox world they've created is in fact quick sand, and you slowly trudge through the lands whacking stuff with skills that hit either like wet noodles or completely eviscerate your target. Its a game of no middle grounds. YOU are alive or dead, the MONSTERS are alive or dead. You can have fun at times, but its a long sleepy journey between those brief moments.

    Whatever you expect from this game, you will be disappointed. Its not bad enough to be cheesy fun, its not good enough to keep you interested, its not mid enough to be able to put it down and come back and occasionally have fun. RIP Blizzard, this is such a massive fail and I promise, only to myself, to not get my hopes up for anything you guys release moving forward.    … Expand

In game economy is entirely broken, and currency becomes essentially useless as vendors never have any items worth purchasing. You will never care about money because you won’t use it for anything other than respecs and item upgrades. Looting even manages to not be fun, as most of it is inferior to what is equipped, and just clogs up inventory space. Blizzard is not, and probably never will return to their glory days.

    The game gets 3 points from me, solely and exclusively because of the story. Which, miraculously, is fantastic. The dark, gory aesthetic to the game is excellent. The musical score is sufficiently chilling and goose bump inducing. It doesn't feel like a cartoon like D3 did. My character isn't jumping around the screen like a looney tune. It's more real, more raw, more engaging.

    This would be the start of something great. Except, once you get passed the superlative. They screwed up literally every other single aspect of them game. The leveling pace is awful, grindy and boring. The scaling system is the dumbest idea to be introduced into Diablo, since real money auction house. All it serves to do is annoy you as you run through zones to find dungeons, as it never gets easier to run through those zones.

    Which brings me too... why the hell are we running through zones constantly? You took a game built on bashing hordes of monsters to try and find shiny things and turned it into a track meet. Who the hell wants to watch a character run across a screen all day? It's insane. There's absolutely nothing interesting about the "zone" content, once you get outside of the storyline. It's all repetitive garbage, the events are all the same, rinsed and repeated. It's interesting once, then annoying immediately.

    How, after years of game development lessons, do you have 0 QOL functions at launch? Why am I running back to my stash to get gems to craft and managing that insane inventory like I'm playing Runescape in 2001. How do this many smart people sit in a room and make a game so mechanically tedious it borderlines on the absurd?

    What is fun about placing stones on pedestals 47 times a day? Who the hell thought ANY of this was a good idea?

    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.
