    Diablo4 development team works really hard to make the game boring. Rather than buffing other builds, they decided to make every build bad in order to get to the 'balance'. I was a Blizzard fan, spent countless time on their game, but Diablo4 will be my last Blizzard game and never trust Blizzard again in my life.

    Was a great game until it wasn't with patch 1.1. They compellingly hired this game with needs. Was so much fun at launch. Probably won't play it any more.

    trash farming and salvaging simulator with atrocious user interface, nonexistent social features (for a game with mmo elements) and headless direction from developers who probably didn't even try to play their own game past very poorly told campaign story

    Awful experience due to always online connection and the risk of constant nerfing of character skills instead of fixing actual problems and annoyances. Slow, unfun, awful arpg.

    Game could be good but not now. Currently, it not polished at all. You can read a lot of reviews and critics on the internet so I'll keep them.
    What real problem is Blizzards lied and they don't care about that. I'm not talking about some fun things but real lies. Many of contents listed on pre-order are missing and they keep silence about that.
    Diablo 4 is a SCAM

    Diablo IV at its core HAD potential to be a great ARPG, instead it was squandered by making inane changes to the game in its first major patch instead of fixing glaring issues since launch.

    At the time writing this review, here are the issues: 1. No real end game; Only Nightmare Dungeons, Echo of Lilith and PvP to fill the entirety from 50 to 100. 2.

    At the time writing this review, here are the issues:
    1. No real end game; Only Nightmare Dungeons, Echo of Lilith and PvP to fill the entirety from 50 to 100.
    2. Nightmare Dungeons with no competitive features and stale bosses. No leader board, dungeon's end boss is often times much easier than the rest of the dungeon.
    3. Lack of attention from the developers with gear. Over 95% of the unique gear you receive is complete garbage due to its stats being useless for its intended build. (Gohr's with attack speed???)
    4. Trigger happy nerfs. Instead of buffing the weaker classes, the developer chose to nerf the better classes.
    5. No respect for the players' time. With Season 1 drawing closer, the developer's idea of fixing the lack of end game, is to make everything that are needed to be done take longer. Lesser mob density, lesser experience gained, lesser damage etc. Having to take longer to do the same thing in the pre-season is simply appealing.

    Diablo IV at its current iteration is not worth the purchase. You might want to check back after Microsoft has a better handle on Blizzard.    … Expand

    patch 1.1 was the nail in the coffin for this dying game. People play games for fun. to escape dreaded lives sometimes even... And Blizzard has this destructive pphilosophy, where if a player having fun in a game, then that must be stopped some how. All in the name of "Balancing".... ARPG without the action. What a wasted opportunity, it turned out this way.

    Uninstalling after the Season 1 patch. Had high hopes for the game and enjoyed it for a bit, but then the season 1 patch came and it's just a horrible, slow, slog for no actual game. This is an ARPG, not Stardew Valley. Fast pace, good and varied loot, and great bosses are a must and D4 now fails on every single one of those.

    It started good pre-season, It had potential, it was cute with the campfire talks but thats where they left Diablo 4, at the campfire... to just poke the dead animal above it.

    Diablo 4 is atm the best example to see a gaming company disconnects with their own player base, infuriate all fans and gamer and kill the game with the patch for the 1st season in this new released game.
    It's insane, disappointing and discouraging at once. I have no idea how they can fix it, but if they don't fix it..that might be the last Diablo game we will experience.

    Diablo IV: "Welcome to hell" is really spot on greetings when you are milking an IP that the devs of Tourchlight initially created, but you do not know the recipe of a real Diablo game.

End game gets boring long before you've reached level cap. D2 stands head and shoulders above d4 with regard to item variation, crafting and customisation. Set items don't exist - and just incase you were struggling to stay motivated after discovering every single unique you find is simply crap - you've already found them all long before you even reach level 60 because the lootpool is what you would expect from a game produced for the Magnavox Odyssey.
    Still, I was looking forward to playing the season, mostly because i felt i was still owed something after paying £60 and getting something half cooked. So then comes patch day - and i'm reading the patch notes - i sort of glazed over. It felt like my brain was slowly falling away like a wet cake. Nothing new, or exciting. No much needed, glaringly obvious class adjustments. No inventory changes. No essential endgame goals - nothing whatsoever to keep you hungry. No changes to the excruciatingly droll dungeon mechanics - one shots, bombs, stormbane, etc but we did get an increased lootpool... but its in single digits. Ultimately - it was a flat, 30 - 40% net stat reduction. Builds that were interesting, fun to play and usually crafted over long hours now lay completely broken due to the CDR% shrink.
    The patch was cobbled together on the back of a **** packet as a lazy attempt at artificially extending its shelf-life by decreasing the power of the player - without any regard for its outcome, without providing any alternative and without any consideration for how it would impact what is essentially the beating heart of any ARPG - your talents/skills and build. A truly underwhelming and frankly despairing effort. I'm relieved i won't be returning. 1/10    … 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.
