    Game is terrible. waste of $70-80 depending on where you live. Won't let you refund if you've spend ~2 hours in-game. Cannot zoom in/out camera. No End-game content. what an utter disappointment.

    1. Childish Story for Adult Games
    2. "Open World" is a lie
    3. Field bosses are useless content
    4. It's like playing Diablo3 at 0.7x speed

    I think it's 4/10 but I give 0 because of people who give 10

Why, why, why for the love of god would you put in level scaling in a game like this. Legit the whole point of playing a game like this is to feel like a powerful character in an epic fantasy and thats completely gone for no reason. You can still make the game hard without level scaling. Oh hey Diablo 2 was groundbreaking, lets never do anything like it again. Essentially makes it pointless to play the game, a level 5 will out damage a level 60. Looks pretty stupid and makes it pointless to play. No feeling of progression or accomplishment. If you want the game to be "hard", elden ring showed you how, not with this artificial **** that everyone agreed was stupid 15 years ago in Oblivion. Your most famous and successful game of all time, Diablo 2, didn't have it but you think both sequels needed it after everyone keeps saying they hate it. Everyone is either "fine" with it or absolutely hates it....so who the **** is it for? No one is asking and begging for level scaling...legit no one.… Expand

    It's not a 0, it's a 4/10 because early game and probably future seasons and patches will fix it. But people that consume paid streamers and they are still in early game have no brain. I also know that i forgot toooons of things that are bad in the game, but no one will care about this review.

    We want diablo 4 to end up being a good game, right now it's not and if we don't show Blizzard that it will end up being a complete failure.    … Expand

And then they pull the pay an extra $20 for early access stunt ON TOP of the already expensive $70 price tag, to advance to the endgame before normal people even start the game and to even have a chance at world first level 100. Absolute scumbag move. The game even feels unfinished because of the lack of endgame content. And to think we waited 4 YEARS for this...

    Also, I would highly recommend people, including me, to stop supporting this pro-p3doph3lia company. Just when you thought this company couldn't get any worse...their immorality knows no bounds.    … Expand

    Nice graphics and cinematics
    Cons: Level scaling ruins the leveling experience, when you level up you actually feel weaker. You need to farm better gear to balance out the nerfs you get every time you level.

    Cons:
    Level scaling ruins the leveling experience, when you level up you actually feel weaker. You need to farm better gear to balance out the nerfs you get every time you level.

    Terrible itemization, every class needs vulnerable stat and CC reduction since its so damn strong in endgame.

    Game is too dark, it's hard to differentiate between elites/champions and normal trash mobs because they removed the colorization they had in d3, it feels like you are always fighting weak or strong trash mobs.

    Bosses are terrible, they have zero mechanics, just pure damage sponges.

    To make the pace of the game slower, they nerfed builder skill damage. You are always building up resources to spend it in a second. Combat is really boring, felt so much better and smoother in d3.

    Leveling is a slog, it takes around 150 hours to reach max level if you play solo and don't exploit party benefits.

    World events are boring as hell, it feels like you are forced to do boring chores copied directly from world of warcrafts world quest system.

    Mount is the worst functioning system in the game without a doubt. Clunky as hell, keeps getting stuck between barriers placed out in the world and needs to charge a charge for a speed boost. If you get dismounted in combat there is a 30 second cooldown lol.

    UI looks like pure garbage, optimized for consoles and it shows. Too much emphasis on the character look (obviously for mtx reasons) and too little on the loot. It doesn't feel good when you get new good items, there is no dopamine rush like there was in d2 and d3.

    This game is not worth 70 (or 100 with the battlepass) dollars. The story is very generic. The only good thing about this game is the graphics in my opinion. If you really want to buy it wait for a sale and pick it up for 20-30 dollars. When you reach lvl 60-70 you have pretty much done everything there is to do in the game, there is no point in reaching lvl 100.

    Im a lvl 80 barbarian and i kinda forced myself to keep playing in hopes it was going to get better but the game felt like a boring chore the entire time. In my humble opinion, do not buy this trash.    … Expand

    This is an unfinished game as of release date. Itemisation and economy is non-existent. Class/spec balance is 1/10. Endgame content is lackluster. In-game systems and QoL are terrible. Zero innovation.

    The look and feel however seems fine, game plays smoothly, combat is fluent.

    Edit: changed to 1 from 4, promising fixing things _season later_ is a no go for 70 eur/usd. Season 1 is lackluster.

I friggin hate the current state of the game. Progressions absolutely sucks. I sometimes crash just sitting in a town while i go grab some water. The devs constantly focusing their efforts on nerfing everything in site with class skill reductions, move deletion, dungeon elite spawn rate nerfing and everything thing other than fixing the dang crashes.

    Im gonna be honest , this is fun for like 2 hours after that gameplay is the same. Scaling is super weird your character doesn't really feel stronger. Skill tree is alright nothing special. I will say however unless you follow builds you're gonna have like 8x harder time. EDIT: I swear most of the positive reviews are botted the entire page was all 10's so im giving it a 0.

    There is nothing similar except for the game trailer for this game with Diablo.

    — Ugly interface
    — An incomprehensible fight with monsters, the style of the game
    — It is unclear why such a large amount of information is needed from the very beginning
    — Permanent inscriptions on the screen that are constantly being spammed
    — I don't understand why I need such a big chest at the very beginning, I want to develop the game and the character, and not get everything at once
    — Tons of extra information
    — Raising the level remained unclear
    — Why would a Necromancer need 4 skeletons at 1 level at once? But what about the development of the game, the character, and so on, as it has always been?
    — Empty locations
    — Boring mobs

    Based on everything I've seen, this game is by no means a continuation of the Diablo series, it's some kind of mutant who wants to be Diablo.

    I do not advise anyone to buy this game if you are a Diablo fan.

    Nothing to chase. Nothing to do. Worse than d3 [ at least d3 has some fresh ideas, d4 is just retaking them]. Don't waste your money. The only "endgame" that game has is literally a joke. I wouldn't even call such a thing dungeons. Not to mention "originality".

The graphics are lackluster and fail to create the dark and eerie atmosphere that the series is known for. The story is dull and predictable, with forgettable characters and uninteresting plotlines. The gameplay is repetitive, and the few new features that have been added feel half-baked and poorly executed.

    Moreover, the game seems to have lost its soul and has become a mere shell of its former self. The once-compelling RPG elements have been replaced with shallow, loot-driven mechanics that feel more like an idle clicker than a true Diablo game. The addition of microtransactions only adds insult to injury, making it clear that the developers prioritize profit over creating a fun and engaging experience for their fans.

    Overall, Diablo IV is a huge disappointment. It's a sad reminder that even the most beloved franchises can fall from grace when they lose sight of what made them great in the first place.    … Expand

    Horrible after the storyline. Only a few viable builds and the uniques do not add much value. Mob density is so low everywhere that the game is a walking simulator. Furthermore, Blizzard is only nerfing items/dungeons not really trying to improve the game. What a dissapointment.

And today they even nerfed the mob density which for hack and slash games is the core concept. Shielders of blizzard will rant "its realistic" "I like the slow gameplay" but srsly?

    The game is great in terms of campaign story, music, environments. However, Blizzard is known to take the "fun" away silently (eg. see the new constant nerfs).

    It took them 1 week and instead of making the game a bit more fun, it's now very shallow. Not to mention all the other bad design decisions (rewards, quests, inexistent open world, etc).

    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.
