    I have never reviewed a game. I created this account specifically for this review.

    This game is complete trash. Especially in comparison to D3. It is soulless and empty. It is extremely grindy. Leveling experience is good until about level 10-20, than its just garbage. Super boring. The story is mid but mind numbing a couple acts in a not interesting to follow. The background art is utter trash. The world map is huge but its the same boring background of desert and plains. A lot of running and wasting time in the same boring environment. You never feel strong during the leveling process.

    I have been waiting for years for this to squad with the boys, but this is just garbage. Not even close to D3.

    I would refund if I could but you cant refund after 2 hours played. Blizz is officially dead. Soulless corporation that only wants your dollars. Buy this game if you hate yourself and the gaming community and want to buy bobby another yacht.    … Expand

    In general, the game is very poor, the story is not bad, but the endgame is one of the worst things I've seen in my more than 30 years of playing video games. Many things can be said, but it can be summed up by the fact that it is an extremely boring game, with mechanics designed by children. It seems like a game from 15 years ago, with no content and no motivation to keep playing.

The game was so obviously released to appease the shareholders by appealing to the casual crowd by raking in as much profit as possible at the expense of the hardcore fans of the diablo series and ARPG genre in general. Profit before quality, as per Bobby Kotick's plan. Blizzard needs to stop trying to satisfy shareholders and start making well considered finished great games again. POE 2 is going to make D4 look like an absolute joke.… Expand

    This game has been modified to the point where it’s no fun. Blizzard’s officials don’t like the players at all. The previous elite monsters have all been changed. It’s okay if the PvP mechanism is bad. There’s no way to play PVE well. It’s really bad.

    Diablo 4 is a 50$ game with a 70$+ price tag. The "professional" critics are just plain wrong on their assesment of this game.

    It is one of the most meandering slogs of a game I have played in many years.
    Lacking in finesse and creativity, it's a homogeneous romp through an ARPG that entirely lacks in re-playability.
    The main campaign is slow and unfocused, with only the boss fights as highlights in an otherwise boring main quest with at best a mediocre story, that was mostly un engaging and amateurishly underdeveloped. Your average modern entertainment slop attempting to recapture the essence of past successes while towing the line to keep Actiblizzions ESG score up in the face of still relevant controversies.

    The endgame fares no better, post 50 your leveling pace will be quartered as every level in now 4 in 1. So you had better enjoy the myriad barebones dungeons which mostly follow the same basic template of non-contextualized standardised objectives to progress towards one of the 10 or so generic boss fights, that are of a much lower quality compared to the bosses in the main quest.
    It is almost as bare bones as it gets. And the absence of the objective would only make the dungeons better at this point.

    Alternatively you could engage in open-world checkbox gaming, like repeatable bounties such as kill enemy type in area, click on thing to spawn an elite/champion, click on four things in an area, participate an event encounter (protect civilians hiding under carts, protect generic NPC that isn't hiding under a cart, different flavours of kill enemies in the event radius etc.) and gather essence balls from slain enemies to spawn three elites at a vending pillar. The reward for completing enough of these is a loot bag containing 4 elites worth of loot and some materials along with a chunk of xp.

    If that isn't your cup of tea you can finish the area renown system, which is discover waypoints, complete side-quests (most of which are filler and all are disappointing lacking any meaningful rewards), uncover the area map, do all the boring dungeons, find altars of lilith (moderately hidden statues that give you a pittance of extra stats) and complete the strongholds. These are probably the most interesting as they are bespoke overworld micro dungeons, though the activities offered aren't all that interesting, they are at the very least unique. Shame that there is only three per act.
    This system is mandatory as this is where you get your extra skill and paragon points.

    There are also the helltides, in which demons invade an area and you kill them for a temporary currency to open chests containing generic items but with a good chance of legedaries. Helltides spawn special crafting mats and are therefore mandatory.

    You might also run into an event marker for a world boss, which look good but are very easy and boring to fight and seem to give no special rewards. Just more of the same as everything else in the game.
    Though since launch I have only fought a single one so they are easy to miss.

    I have only gone over a fraction of the fundamental issues plaguing this game, and 5/10 feels generous after writing this. The zeroes and tens that are spammed here are clearly not born of nuanced opinions but review bombers and blizzard defence force guys jousting.    … Expand

    What a dreadful game that cost me $89. Twice as much they cost in the past, twice of the frustration comparing to other games that only cost a fraction.

    The latest patch's new aspects and uniques are incredibly disapointing. This gives us a sign in the lack of build diversity. Copy + Paste builds still rule. Fix minions so they don't die so much for all classes. Season 1 looks ok, but nothing I'm hyped over. QQ

    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.
