    - Story only lasts 10 hours or less
    - very boring leveling after level 50 but it takes like 50 hours to get level 100
    - I hate the skill und item progression maybe it gets more fun after level 100 but it feels too much like a waste of time.

    Also waste of 70€ unfortunately. I played most of the time alone and had really more fun with a 20 € Chained Echoes.

    this game is horrible. let me start by saying the price. too much. and whats included with it, in game micro transactions for something that costs way too much.

    second, the balancing. its a fat **** joke. like A FAT ONE. if you wanted to play necromancer and play minions be prepared to suck total ass and change to a no minion build later. third, the cc and random off screen deaths.    this game is horrible. let me start by saying the price. too much. and whats included with it, in game micro transactions for something that costs way too much.

    third, the cc and random off screen deaths. its beyond frustrating i dont even wish to describe it cause someone will knock on my door

    fourth, even after picking ur class, playing for a bit figure out what you need to do only to realize you were new and have no clue and ur build sucks but now you gotta waste all your resources to change and pray to the fkin gods ur new build isnt **** unless ur stuck in the middle of a fkin creek with no paddle.

    five, the only good reviews of this game are from die hard fans that will buy any pile of garbage blizz puts out. in which case they dont need this review cuase they already have it. but for the average gamer. plz direct yourself to the rest of the reviews cause its a hot pile of ****.

    six, the graphics are good only thing ill give it, but unless you have an insane monster of a pc machine you wont be able to enjoy cuase this game opitmization is garbage and consumes resources like theres no tomorrow talking like 8k vram easy    … Expand

    It's a great addition to the Diablo franchise. One you finish the story acts, the game opens up in terms of quests and activities to do. I invest about an hour or so a day in the game and call it good.

    The story had potential, but honestly feels very watered down and lacking in all the lore it should have. It makes you ask questions then doesn't answer them.

    Enemy Scaling and open world is a really bad choice. You level and get weaker as enemies get stronger and your gear and abilities get weaker in comparison. Loot is pretty meh, you can only go up to world tier 2 in the story but you can hit the Soft level cap of 50 anywhere and if you hit that, the game grinds to a progression halt. WT2 will rarely ever gives you gear over 40 despite fighting enemies 50+, so if you go through an area and do all you can while you're there it becomes pointless. Quest rewards are good for selling or breaking. Legendary stuff ends up 5 levels lower than the level of normal drops so you can kill a level 50 enemy, it can drop a level 40 yellow and a level 35 legendary in my experience. You can only go above world tier 2 after you complete the game, which implies it better to rush the story to actually make doing the side stuff worth while. But then you realise that post game is just a boring grind. A terrible variety of monsters, mobs and dungeons. It all feels very gloomy and copy and paste. The bosses in dungeons barely drop anything and you have about 7 bosses in total for around 100 dungeons, so it gets stale really fast.

    Most of the good looking gear that should be in game, is behind a pay wall, Streamer event or even an Amazon Prime add on. Do you need it? No, but if I've just paid 60quid for a game, I would like there to actually be in game content that looks good and not the other 50% of cosmetics being behind pay walls or to the benefit of streamers. You could call it FOMO, you can also call it greed.

    Post game gets even worse though. After you enter World Tier 3 it then adds "sacred" loot. Basically upto level 50 is character building directly, after that is a paragon point grind for maximising stats. So at level 65, normal guy will drop and it will be around lvl45, sacred gear can also drop which should be at your lvl, being 65. Thing is, that is not guaranteed, neither are legendaries being at your level and I have had Sacred unique legendaries drop 7 levels higher than my current gear and be WORSE! so the grind gets even harder and less worth it a good 7/10 times.

    The game is so scared of being anything colourful or whacky like Diablo 3 was, which for the record I loved, it is just grey, dark, gloomy and miserable. It lacks character and soul, it's like some edgelord teenager trying to be as grim as possible.

    Then comes the online only aspect, so when they screw things up which they have several times already, you can't play. Then there's the season pass, which is a paywall for more content every 3 months, in which you have to do all the aforementioned grinding on a new character to be rewarded cosmetics they they could just add into the loot pool.

    Absolute farse and a robbery. The hype this game has is because it is a Diablo game with die hard fans and likely paid reviews.    … Expand

    Probably the worst offering in Diablo's history. Not sure what the developers were thinking, but I am not a happy camper. Got the game as a father's day present from my kids (They bought the Ultimate Edition for me, which makes me sad as it adds NOTHING to the game play experience.

    My number one beef with this game is the open world, always online, live service nature of the buiid. You CANNOT play this game solo, and you cannot have a "Private game". While dungeons are instanced, the "over world" is not.

    Also gone are the procedurally generated areas of the past. Once you've explored the areas, they are static. Gone too are cleared areas. Mobs respawn now like a MMORPG, usually after about five minutes.

    The level progression system is overly complicated and makes little sense. One no longer levels up stats and instead are reliant on whatever hard-coded increases the developers have chosen for your class. Many of the benefits of leveling up are opaque, and new systems are confusing: What the hell is a Lucky Strike? How is that different from a critical hit? What is Overpower?

    I'm not done, though, gentle reader. No, the Lore makes zero sense and fails to follow a unified narrative. The decision to allow any chapter to be completed in any order just makes the game confusing. Why have chapters if there is no order to the narrative? Also making little sense is giving a "Demon" powers of creation. It's no secret or spoiler to say that Lilith is given credit for the creation of Sanctuary, the question is WHY? She's a demon, not a god. Demons destroy, they cannot create.

    Gone also is Holy magic or any kind of Holy Warrior / Priest character, which is really bizarre when considering that we're playing a game of Angels vs Demons vs Humanity.

    Skip this game. It's not worth 70 dollars, much less 99 dollars for the Ultimate Edition.    … Expand

    I'd love to give diablo 4 a higher rating based on what they did well, but I can't.

    Why can't I? Because I can't log in. Again.

    Because every single action I take is disgustingly laggy in a game that could have been awesome offline.

    Remove the only requirement and I'll praise that the game actually intended to well, until then, I'm sorely disappointed.

    Story is good and bloody as possible. But fighting feels dull and the game is very much money oriented. Add all the network and game troubles that prevents you to play like every week or so and you've got an average game. Nothing really bad but nothing really great.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Always online "Live Service" is ruining the game for me.

    I can understand that they don't want people to pirate the game, but I just want to be able to play it.
    I want to be able to log in and play the game. I have been running into server, login, license, and connection issues since launch. I did not want an MMO experience. I play this game in single-player the VAST majority of the time.

    I am actually writing this review instead of playing the game after trying to log in for the last 45 minutes.

    The art style and music are amazing.

    Characters have limited ways to play. At first glance, it looks like there is a lot of build diversity, but there aren't really that many truly viable things. Just look at the Necromancer. They only have one ability that gives unstoppable so that skill is on literally every build. Nearly every build Has decrepify to lower cooldowns. Minions are so bad that people actively gimp themselves by using it.
    Barbarians have a similar issue with shouts.

    The horse does not handle pathfinding very well. You have to get to act 3 to grab the horse.
    This means many people rush through the campaign to grab the Horse....This is not good for the health of the campaign.

    Many of the legendary aspects look exactly the same in the inventory. Managing stash tabs, inventory, and vendors is just a pain.

    Why in the world do we have quick salvage buttons for the blacksmith but no quick sell buttons for the Merchants.

    Why can we not see our total Obal Capacity beside the current amount (Its in another menu.)

    Why did they give all the other Classes movement skills except for the Necro? Why does the Necro's blight obscure literally everything under it?

    Why is there no Gem Bag?

    Why does Enchanting not have an upper limit for cost?

    Enemy Crowd Control effects are just obnoxious.    … Expand

Die Grafik ist atemberaubend, die Geschichte fesselnd und die Spielmechaniken sind ansprechend. Es ist zweifellos ein Titel, der viele Stunden spannender Unterhaltung bietet.

    Allerdings gibt es einen Aspekt, der mich während meiner Spielerfahrung stark enttäuscht hat: die Levelphase zwischen Level 50 und Level 100. Zunächst einmal möchte ich betonen, dass es großartig ist, dass das Spiel eine hohe Maximalstufe von 100 bietet. Dies ermöglicht eine langfristige Progression und bietet Spielern die Möglichkeit, ihre Charaktere weiterzuentwickeln. Jedoch war ich enttäuscht zu erkennen, dass dieser spezifische Abschnitt des Spiels nicht mit ausreichendem Inhalt gefüllt war.

    Während der Levelphase bis 50 hatte ich das Gefühl, dass das Spiel ständig neue Herausforderungen und Belohnungen bot. Es gab eine Vielzahl von Quests, Nebenmissionen und Dungeons, die es zu erkunden galt. Es gab auch eine bemerkenswerte Vielfalt an Gegnern und Umgebungen, die das Spielerlebnis frisch und aufregend hielten.

    Jedoch änderte sich dies abrupt, als ich die Levelmarke von 50 erreichte. Plötzlich schien der Spielinhalt deutlich abzunehmen. Es gab nur noch wenige neue Quests oder Herausforderungen, und die Umgebungen wurden repetitiv. Es fühlte sich an, als ob die Entwickler das Potenzial dieses Abschnitts des Spiels nicht voll ausgeschöpft hätten.

    Es ist bedauerlich, dass die Levelphase zwischen 50 und 100 nicht mit dem gleichen Enthusiasmus und der gleichen Sorgfalt gestaltet wurde wie der Rest des Spiels. Spieler, die sich die Mühe machen, diese höheren Level zu erreichen, sollten mit ansprechenden Inhalten belohnt werden, die ihren Fortschritt würdigen. Dies hätte das Spielerlebnis noch lohnender und motivierender gestaltet.

    Trotz dieser Kritikpunkte möchte ich betonen, dass Diablo 4 insgesamt ein herausragendes PC-Spiel ist. Die Stärken des Spiels in Bezug auf Grafik, Storytelling und Gameplay überwiegen die enttäuschende Levelphase zwischen 50 und 100. Spieler, die den Fokus weniger auf das Erreichen der Maximalstufe legen, werden dennoch eine großartige Zeit mit dem Spiel haben und die vielen positiven Aspekte genießen können.

    Es bleibt zu hoffen, dass die Entwickler in Zukunft ein Update oder DLC veröffentlichen, um den Inhalt der Levelphase zwischen 50 und 100 zu erweitern und die Spielerfahrung für alle, die sich dieser Herausforderung stellen, zu verbessern.    … Expand

    Hope, I'll save my marriage.

    It’s almost like Diablo 4 developers are consciously fighting against everything that made classic Diablo fun. [Issue#262, p.80]

    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.

    The best Blizzard launch in a long time and a worthy game to be called Diablo.
