    Great game. I have been enjoying it with a group of friends. We all play at different pace, and yet we still all play together. That is the biggest win for me.

    Game is fun and has potential to be great if they don't give in to the trolling from people who want to make it super easy and have OP classes.

    Entertaining story.
    Gameplay well designed.
    Smart mechanics.

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

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

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

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

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

    I'm shocked to see there're so many haters on Blizzard or the Diablo franchise. Diablo IV might not be a masterpiece when you compare it to all other game genres, considering gamers have just played games like Zelda, Elden Ring, God of War, etc. It's just been great years for gamers, and Diablo IV might be under the awful circumstance to live up to that high of expectation.

    I'm shocked to see there're so many haters on Blizzard or the Diablo franchise. Diablo IV might not be a masterpiece when you compare it to all other game genres, considering gamers have just played games like Zelda, Elden Ring, God of War, etc. It's just been great years for gamers, and Diablo IV might be under the awful circumstance to live up to that high of expectation.

    However, the truth is, Diablo IV totally nails it in its own genre. I know people might get confused when it comes to genre of Diablo IV, and I am definitely not a very pro game reviewer, and this is just my own opinion. Diablo IV is now ranked 2nd on my MMORPG list (come afters FFXIV), and the 1st on Roguelike game.

    If you have read other negative comments here, and getting worried about if you should get Diablo IV, I'm telling you that Diablo IV has not been treated fairly in this time. If Hogwart's Legacy is getting praised on its openworld design, Diablo IV should earn the same credit too. Although the roguelike nature of this game might limit how player explore the world, once again, they nail it in its own genre.

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

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

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

    I am posting review sfter more than 20 hourd of gameplay.
    The game is awesome! I played diablo 2 and 3 and the remastered d2.
    This one is great. Storytelling, voice acting, cinematics, graphics etc. Boss fights are fun, at least most of them. But hey nothing is 100% perfect!
    The gameplay mechanics are quiet similar to D2 so no comment on that one.

    All in all, frest game Blizzard!

    I have been having a lot of fun with the game and working on my build. I really don't understand all of the hate as I think this is a really great game. Runs perfectly, haven't had any major glitches and it seems very polished. Seems like a significant amount of replay-ability with the time it takes to level a character and the option to use different classes.

    Playing this game is like a Hollywood movie that you are starring in. With some of the audio. And the final battle with Lilith in the main storyline, you feel so involved in an epic battle. The graphics are also great, similar to Diablo immortal, but more grassy terrain that will make you feel like you are in an upgraded version of Diablo 2, and they seem realistic.Would highly recommendPlaying this game is like a Hollywood movie that you are starring in.

    One of the best Diablo so far. Great mechanics, open world, fun to play with friends, optimized, amazing and great story, cut-scene, animations.
    Very fun to grind, a lot of things and challenges to do.

    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.
