    This game is better than Diablo 3 by a factor of 10 and in my opinion more fun than Diablo 2. Every new multiplayer game out there is always on, has cosmetic skins (that you don't have to buy at all, there are TONS of customization in the game for free).
    I started the Diablo franchise with D2 and in my opinion D4 is superior.

    Bought a new pc to be able to play this better, totally worth it. Really enjoying the game just feels fun and powerful to play, not arcade like D3. Also enjoying the open world and new systems like gathering ingredients. Main downside is its hard to not play when I need to be responsible.

Many of the things are improved weekly, the game is constantly handled well by blizzard so far, wish they would have made the same good job with Warcraft 3 Reforge and not outsource it.… Expand

    I would probably give this game an 8/10. Just giving it a 10 to balance out the ridiculous review bombing. I have played every Diablo game from the first one on my PS1 and as a long time fan of the series I am having an awesome time.

A lot of people have valid points about things that need to, and probably will be, addressed by the devs. There are a ton of quality of life things that I would love to see implemented, but sledging the game in the user reviews isn't the way to get what you want.

    Here are some important positives:
    1. The game launched relatively smoothly.
    2. We got a game that feels solid and complete on launch (this allows us to engage with the devs on the smaller issues because they aren't scrambling to polish a trash heap, which we tend to see more often these days).
    3. The story is enjoyable and cohesive.
    4. Group play with your friends is great and feels rewarding.
    5. Lastly, and most importantly, I have had a ton of fun playing it.

    The future of this game is solidly in the dev's hands, if they play the cards right and keep the game updated, fresh and add good amounts of new content then I can see myself spending a lot more of my time invested in this game. It is insane to me that anyone would give this game a largely negative review. If you can afford it, and have some good gaming buddies to join you, I recommend this game highly.    … Expand

I can’t seem to figure out if any of these reviewers on this site even played Diablo 4 or maybe they even worked on old projects and are alittle salty possibly got fired and or just trolling and spreading misinformational hate. Because, this game is super bananas and has such a banger of a soundtrack. The skill/spell combinations for character builds are so much better than any previous version of Diablo. I’m not gear locked and I can decimate with any build of my own liking. No more being stuck with seasonal gear and or spells/abilities. The map is so huge and it’s not a linear path walking game like the old Diablo games from the past. You can actually explore and there is no wrong way to play. PvP is here which is one option that we have all wanted. World boss fights?! Yeah, I said it I’ve never seen more than 4 people on my screen fighting in previous Diablo’s before until the World Boss.

    The graphics are beautiful seriously, they’re literally peering in through the tops of the dilapidated roofs of structures/buildings with amazing floral and fauna in your surroundings. A great game for everyone especially for Dad’s and Mom’s to play with or without your kids especially, for the amount of time we don’t get to play games while we work I’ve had entirely too much fun. The voice actors really helped steer this awesome story into absolute belief in portraying their characters. After 2 weeks from launch, I’m still leveling and grinding there is soooo much to do. I’m super Excited to see World Tier 5 update and future updates. Keep on Keepin on thank you for your hardwork Dev Team    … Expand

    The game is an insanely absurdly addicting dopamine slot machine simulator. I think the open world really adds to this, and not having to play the campaign more than once. Which was really good and set the tone in my opinion but also was a bit of a slog.

I think the open world really adds to this, and not having to play the campaign more than once. Which was really good and set the tone in my opinion but also was a bit of a slog.

    I have a Druid at level 72 and find the build diversity on him to be amazing. I don't feel the need to follow strict meta, just leveled through a build that was theory crafted and sounded good and strong, did end up being pretty meta, but I deviated and did different things and haven't even looked at end game meta build. I'm still changing and tweaking my build.

    I can't wait to play the other classes as well, but my next power boost is always tantalizing close, usually achieved by the end of a good day of playing, not multiple times throughout the day. Which is a a slow pace and feels like feast or famine, but it makes sense to me that's how the game will start to try to keep it controlled and contained, as power creep is inevitable, and there's going to be thousands of more gear sets and meta builds in the future.

    Haven't been this hooked on a game in a long time and I feel like I have months of replay ability with this base game, possibly even just within the Druid class even, though I will choose a different one next.

    This is one of those games that makes me so happy that I'm actually here for it, and a gamer at this day and age. It really feels glorious.
    However I think with a strong build anywhere close to meta as mine is it's a bit too easy, the sweet spot is being under leveled in a new difficulty and overcoming that, that's when side quests and basic dungeons and exploration feels amazing and immersive, with the possibility of death. Once the overworld and then the basic dungeons become too easy the enjoyment starts to fall off, and it's starting to happen a bit at 72 right when my build is starting to fully come together.

    Nightmare dungeons aren't good enough to sustain that for very long imo, so I will likely then stop the character once I finally get my build completed where it's destroying in the overworld, (It's already doing very well but I want to add another 0 to my damage) and start the next one until higher WTs (difficulties) come out. Which is fine in my opinion.

    I don't think NM dungeons are a suitable end game, they should just be the thing to do to get levels and push difficulty until you can make it into the next difficulty, which doesn't exist yet, but is coming according to leaks.

    And that's fine I think, I think for launch that is actually acceptable, so long as it doesn't take a whole year for more difficulties to come out. Because to me that's the sweet spot is coming into a new difficulty with new challenge, better AI and better monster density, that's what makes the game exciting to me.

    NM dungeons aren't good enough to grind forever, they are too boring and repetitive. But I'm sure that blizzard knows this. I am super excited not just for this games future but also the content that I have available to play until that fleshes out. Which I'm hoping works out smoothly, which I definitely could see that happening. Like I will play every other class, I will rebuild my 71 Druid, I will create another fresh Druid, maybe the same for the other classes too. That is a LOT of content to hold me over. The atmosphere is incredible. It oozes inspiration from the original 2 diablos. It's delicious and next gen.

    Would give it a 8 or 9 but all the 1 and 2 reviews are just insane and weight the rating down way too much. It's like the 4 Chan clown bus or something. Like if you look at their other reviews they rate all AAA games at 0 but weeb and waifu indy games at tens, its pretty clear where this brigade is coming from.    … Expand

    It's well worth the price tag for me. Even if the level cap was 50 I would still buy the game at it's current price, because there's enough content to keep me busy for many many hours.

    The story is great. The side quests are fun. I skipped everything on my first 2 playthroughs of the campaign but on my 3rd character I watched everything and listened to all quest dialogue on side missions.

    There's a variety of different things to do at end game, so you can focus on specific things or do a little bit of everything depending on what you like. There's no wrong way to play.

    Making your own build is fun and rewarding, and you can make a build that is intricate and unique without being overwhelmed by the complexity. I love both the skill tree and paragon tree, and it's easy to change/modify some things without that dread of having to re-do your character.

    I look forward to spending thousands of hours over the coming years in this game, trying out different classes, builds, playing the seasons etc.

The writing is easily the best of the Diablo series and the casting for the voice actors is perfect, Lorath serves as our Narrator thoughout the game and his voice is enchanting. Gameplay is tight, responsive and an absolute joy, destroying the legions of hell has never felt so good. Every class feels powerful in it's own way, allowing players to choose the class they resonate with without feeling bad about not picking what is "optimal"; on that note, balance is good here too. It's not perfect, but Blizzard is keeping up with nearly daily updates and hotfixes, making sure nothing egregious stays in the game for very long. It all comes together to make Diablo 4 a triumph of game development and it will undoubtedly keep players coming back for many years to come.… Expand

    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.
