    I really wanted to like this game, but it felt flat, it felt bland, no passion from the devs, I have played hundreds of hours of Diablo 1, 2 and 3, repeating their campaigns over and over, and never felt bored, Diablo 4 even though felt as part of the game franchise, it lacked a lot of the flame that had all the previous Diablos, it lacked personality and lacked purpose, it felt for theI really wanted to like this game, but it felt flat, it felt bland, no passion from the devs, I have played hundreds of hours of Diablo 1, 2 and 3, repeating their campaigns over and over, and never felt bored, Diablo 4 even though felt as part of the game franchise, it lacked a lot of the flame that had all the previous Diablos, it lacked personality and lacked purpose, it felt for the entire game as a forced experience.
    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

Class balance is atrocious, only good class pre 1.1 patch was necro, everything else felt super underwhelming above nightmare 70 or on lilith, have to level character to realize numbers are just **** Mount are actually worse than in lost ark, couldn't believe it, you stuck in everything, get bodyblock by mobs, you go backwards nonstop cause of lag/mount not adapted to maps design. Gear is bad, most unique are useless so you end up disappointed when they drop most of the time, uber unique might be the worst idea blizzard ever had (and i've been playing wow for the past 15years, that says something, even titanforge was better), basically a carrot you keep running after but you know you can't reach it, (1drop in 5Milllions hours of gameplay average). If you want to play this game, don't. If you play it already just give it up, only way to force blizzard's hand into making actual decent games,… Expand

    Wait for POE2 if you want a fun ARPG - Blizzard are constantly patching out anything that even remotely resembles fun.

    Insane blanket nerfs for patch 1.1, just in time for Season 1 (which I won't be playing now).

    I'm just waiting for Baldurs Gate 3 release at this point.

    this is a perfect example when siphoning money from the fan base is the main focus and the rest is just a cover up on top of it. The game has lots of bugs and overall experience is nah when you get anywhere after lvl 25... It looks great at first and than you realize how boring this is. it is nothing like the Diablo games we all love to play anymore. Such a shame.

Literally all the items that come out are trash anyways. Ciders drop way less for some reason they said it's a bug. I think they nerfed it and got backlash so they pretended it was a bug that's BS. Now teleporting out of a dungeon is 5 seconds instead of 3 it's like they added time to it. There was a lot of bugs and broken things in the game. Did they fix it ? Hell no they rather nerf everything and they don't even fix the stuff ppl are asking for. The devs need to get their act together. Now no one wants to play hardcore because of the stupid nerfs. This doesn't even feel like a diablo game anymore they are trying to change everything and make their own game. No one wants that we just want a normal fun diablo game but no the devs only listen to their egos no wonder why they have such bad backlash.

    They need to hire devs that actually care about their game instead of making everyone upset. It's sad when a game comes out with patches and has backlash every single time. Doesn't that tell them that their BS isn't working ? Fire the devs and hire diablo 2 devs to save this dumpster fire of a game. All I gotta say is if the devs continue on being so clueless about their game soon they will kill it. One more thing stop showing diablo immortal stuff during streams no one cares about that trash game geez clueless devs smfh....    … Expand

    Zero from me dawg, just to prove a point game looks nice, but season 1 just sucks so much ass cuz you have to create a whole new character just to get the new content.

    Huge server lag issues combat experience is ruined. Seems there is a great game underneath but it is unacceptable to launch a game like this. Being forced to be online with others sucks and breaks the immersion. An offline mode would fix all this. I can only give it a zero. Despite that there is a good game behind the constant lag the lag is there still all the time and 100% ruin the game.

    Dead game. Not fun because of lack of content, terrible itemization, poor class design, item drop rate, stash management. Been playing Necro for 80 levels and haven’t seen the unique required for the build I’m running. It has worse quality of life than previous Diablo games. The mount is terrible and buggy. I could go on and on.

    It's so bad. Save your money. They went backwards in terms of quality of life. Diablo 3 is still a much better game. It will take years for this to catch up and be nearly as good even with the good graphics. It's not even worth half the price

    The game is fun. This score of 0 is for patch 1.1.0 which nerfed most everything (which is fine by me, honestly. Im a filthy casual gamer dad) and addressed none of the actual issues in game (which is where I draw the line).

    How is it possible that Blizzard decides to ruin a game after launch. Season 1 patch is insane, taking the fun out of the game.

    Less EXP, stronger enemies, nerfs across the board to all characters, instead of fixing real issues in the game.

    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.
