    This could have been the game of the year, but with a weak storyline and very poor endgame players feel robbed of their investment.
    Little or no alterations made in the game in the so-promising season, make the game very poor to play, lack of ideas and the so-wanted game changes, makes Diablo the rip-off of the year!

    This is a game that could stand as a 20€ (max) in steam platform. That shouldn't have "Diablo" in the title. They scammed us.
    Bad itemization..casual-player focused...console-focused...zero economy.. Too bad for those who spent more than 70 euros to buy it and got scammed for those 4 days playing before official release because there is no economy to build into.

    Lixo de jogo, diablo 3 é 1000x melhor. Voce nao se diverte em nada jogando, você nunca sente que está dando mais dano pq os monstros estão sempre no seu level, não importa onde você vá no mapa. Não existe a sensação de recompensa por estar matando ou ganhando novos itens. Resumindo, não perca seu tempo e dinheiro nesse jogo,

    나는 이 똥같은 게임을 pc로 예약구매 하였고

    리모트 플레이를 위해 콘솔로 두번 구입한 멍청이다

    그리고 충분히 많은 시간을 플레이 하였다

    그래픽은 똥같고 최적화도 똥같고 맵 디자인은 개똥같이 지루하고

    운영진도 개똥같이 최악이다

    역대 최악의 디아블로다

    Season 1 is extremely boring without any good changes. Boring boring. Plus, we can’t use our eternal realm characters in the seasonal realms. Stupid. A grinding bore fest. Way better before season 1.

    It was an stunning Looking when it 1st came out the sorcerer lass did suffer in mid and endgame content but after the season one patch everything was nerfed and the sorcerer class was made completely unplayable. 10 years to make the game 1 patch to destroy it.

    This latest opus reeks of laziness and greed.
    What hack and slash needs microtransactions? Horse armor? Really? Who are you Bethesda?

    Blizzard used to have a focus on quality. Since Activision got into the mix, it's only been going downhill and keeps plunging deeper and deeper, underground, where they'll stay buried...

    This game started out kind of fun, but if you took it too slow (doing side quests and dungeons) you basically have a harder time fighting the level scaled enemies, then patch 1.1 came out, and gutted most builds.

Some others: Season 1 map fog bug, being forced to go seek out waypoints we already found, being forced to repeat Renowns we have already completed, a wow-like clean slate, but no content -- do more of what you have already done, in an un-trackable mess of "chores" if you want to progress the seasonal chapters. Gems now rarely drop, but instead your bags are filled with malignants so much you are spending even MORE time managing a horrible inventory system -- no stash/inventory capacity changes, no Inventory search or proper sort ability. Conveniently setup the seasonal menu UI in such a way that you will inevitably/accidently use your premium battle pass. Very suspect ! You didn't fix anything the community feedback have been giving you since beta, instead you made changes no one was asking for so you could slow us down and take out all the fun we had been having up until the 1.1 patch. And It backfired indeed. So surprised Blizzard is under a massive DDOS at the moment -- the Devs basically aren't going to change much. So...Baldur's Gate 3 in two weeks. No reason to waste your time with D4. It will be months before they fix this, if they even do. GG Blizz -- you are not worthy.… Expand

    70€ and the devs change classes around every few days as if they have no clue what they are doing. D4 is a pure money grab. Stay away. The only reason I give one! Point is, because the game looks great. But that's it. Blizzard can go and eat yellow snow

    The PC version crashes once every hour on the average. At every crash you lose your current potion, dungeon progress, etc. During helltides, it crashes every 15 mins, & you lose your collected points. Its infuriating, disgusting & frustrating!!

    This game had so much potential, it breaks my heart to see its state now. The season 1 is in shambles, the recent sorceress class nerfing show how devs have no clue on what's going on.
    The company have clearly zero long term interest in this product.

    Honestly i feel like a Beta Tester for Diablo IV but i payed Full Price of 70 €, the Game still with Season 1 going NO FULLSCREEN MODE.
    It is not worth buying! 9/10 Changes made by the Developers since its Release, are so far away from what the Playerbase and Payerbase is asking for, GIGASADGE Realease.

Instead of fixing bugs and problems that were known, and instead of prioritizing implementing HIGHLY requested features, the developers chose to go the complete opposite route and just unload a massive, steamy dump all over the game and making everything more inconvenient and grindy for what can only be interpreted as a "we see you're having fun here, it'd be a terrible shame if..". Their faces during the last developer live-stream (campfire, as they call it) said it all. I WISH I could be the fly on the wall come the time the developers have to defend these decisions to their higher-ups, and explain why suddenly it's one of the lowest rated games in recent times (which is an accomplishment, given all the aweful releases in 2023) and why there's a mass-exodus of players. Save your money, buy the good Diablo on the battle-net launcher instead (D2R) and enjoy hours upon hours of fun.… Expand

    Diablo 4 Season 1 patch was so bad, the playerbase feedback about what they don't like (Give me back my Vulnerable Damage!) is being construed as "review-bombing" and "petty" by shills and development management. You can plainly see this by observing the Critic Reviews Score vs. The User Reviews Score; People who were paid to write positive reviews did exactly what they were paid to do, while Users who actually will play the game post launch have some obvious problems with the changes made for Season 1 and the base game itself (Example: only four stash tabs, with no increase for season 1).
    It's not review bombing if the "patches" or base game ranges from low-tier trash to tolerably mediocre.    … Expand

    Worse off than D3 was before it was saved and honestly i think this team lacks the experience and knowhow to fix it. It absolute mess. And when you adjust skills by 1% like they did in last patch and day "we buffed it" it just shows they have 0 f***ing clue what they are doing

    Stats and skills being the biggest problem and no build diversity whatsoever.

    Play d3/poe/wolcen or last epoch instead.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First and foremost, I am a casual gamer. I was not supposed to buy this game but bought it anyway because of how much I enjoyed D3 playing wizard/sorcerer.

    I played sorcerer for the campaign and toughed it out using a frost nova hydra build because it was the most suitable with my playstyle. Battles were usually long and arduous. Later on it became a task. I am mainly a solo player and only encounter other players during world events. That's when I see players 10 levels lower than my sorc from other classes dealing more damage.

    I don't usually look at the numbers (unlike the plyers at reddit which is cool) but the disparity between classes was in plain sight. I thought maybe the sorc will be stronger at 100 but happened upon a 100 sorc in a legion event. Both of us tried to take down a structure but it took painfully long until a druid "TOUCHED" it and took us out of our misery. Honestly it was demoralizing since the druid was lvl 77, I was at 86.

    Basically, a 80+ and a 100 lvl sorc combined, is weaker than a 77 druid. I retired my sorc that night. I would have uninstalled the game but I paid 150+ for this and I have not gotten my money's worth. If I can't get it from the fun aspect, I might as well get it from playtime.

    Created a rogue for season 1 and battles are finally looking up. But...

    Season 1 is underwhelming and frustrating. New dungeon mechanics make it hard to complete for malignant hearts but require a malignant invoker that is not even a guaranteed drop in the same dungeon. Am I supposed to run around dungeons for a "chance" to complete it because that, to me, sound like a scam and a good way to tell me to cut my losses and just uninstall.

    I expected a fun game and a little challenge. I guess Blizzard wanted to build a challenging game more than a fun one so now we get a patch that makes things more difficult, in the process lessening the fun aspect. The game has become more and more uninteresting.

    The only saving grace I have is I share the account with my partner and did not pay twice for a bad game.    … 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.
