    Enjoyed the game from launch up until the endgame, where the game started to come apart. I figured I’d hold out and see if they would fix all of the issues, but unfortunately, they blatantly disregarded all of them.

And you, the player, should do what you should do. Don’t buy this game if you’re going to play it for anything more than a couple hours a week. There is no endgame content apart from one boss fight that gives no rewards and high level nightmare dungeons that still drop sacred items (LOL)!

    All in all, don’t bother. Blizzard will run this game into the ground in true Blizzard fashion. So many terrible things about the game, that the good things don’t even come close to outweighing them.    … Expand

    The game started out great it was fun exciting challenging rewarding. Before their "update patch" that is nothing but a giant nerf to every aspect of the game just to push a battle pass system. Buyers remorse for a 100.00 game should have stayed on warframe

    I played D4 both betas and since day 1 pre-launch as a sorc main. I play around 10-15 hours per week and I never hit 100, I got to around level 81 in Season 0. I was really looking forward to starting a new character on season 1, however, Blizzard Nerf'ed the sorc class and reduced the leveling speed by a lot. They also made enemies stronger.

Blizzard give us more content and less nerfs. Making leveling faster. Bring in quality of life features. Why the nerfs?… Expand

    Too slow, not fun to play at all. Instead of buffing the worst performing builds they nerfed everything to the level of the worst performing builds and nerfed them further

    I had high hopes for this game. It's clear that Blizzard is prioritizing time played as their KPI vs player base. Their tone deaf nerfs to basically everything eliminates my enjoyment as a casual player. It's hard to justify doing the same thing over again ONLY WEAKER AND SLOWER. Tabling this game for the time being to enjoy something else.

    Apparently more important for this small indie company is to make sure there is new transmog in realmoney shop instead of fixing like login and networking issues.

    This game does deserve 0 of 10 points. Nice try milking under "immortal" shadow... This time you got caught Bobby... Only this time you get caught.

    Diablo 4 patch 1.1 proves the devs are out of touch with the community and do not listen to us. They created a math equation that favors specific affixes and then they cut them down...maybe they should have tested the equation? There's too many issues to list with just the patch, let alone quality of life issues they purposely created to monetize eventually.

    Now seasons have started and you can't even get on to play, I highly recommend anyone new to avoid this game, I think it's gonna take the devs years to re-learn what they learned in D3 and re-implement the various improvements they decided to skip.

    I think all of this could have been avoided if they had a true test and played a character beyond level 50.    … Expand

    They released an unfinished game which is missing the last 30-40% of content, and then keep making patches to pad out playtime on the small amount of content they shipped the game with. Not worth your money

    Very Grindy, unrewarding game with boring items and builds. Blizz killed what little fun there was before the first season by slowing down skills, gameplay, and experience so that they could artificially keep players logged in and driven toward their seasonal microtransaction journey. Wish I could get a refund, as a long time fan of the series I DO NOT recommend!

    Campaign was good but after finishing it, the game died. i feel scammed by Blizzard and I know for sure that many other players are feeling the same too.

    There are honestly so many wrong things about this game and blizzard that not even 5000 characters are enough to begin with. If you are into ARPGs just go play PoE 2 or Last Epoch, which are imo the only 2 best options on the genre. I cannot believe i spent 70 dollars on this, trully unbelievable

For me it's hard to understand how blizzard with all their experience can completely go away from the successful game design of D2 and basically just produce a well shaped copy of D3. But to be honest D3 was more fun... It had endgame... To be fair D3 was horrible at the beginning, but does blizzard realy have to do all the old mistakes again? Why the hell... WHY they didnt took something of the itemisationssystem from D2? It kept D2 living for almost 20 years. It did prove itself...
    Apart from itemisation and lack of lategame, this game feels lonly as **** Can you believe that there is no LFG funktion?? not even a global chatlobby... the only way to chat global is the tradechannel, which nobody uses because trading in this game is trash!!! not even professional goldsellers are using the trade channel XD.
    Next is the class balancing. ITS a joke... the differences between the classes regarding content clearing are huge.
    The only good thing about the game was the Story. but that ends latest with lvl 50. Then you have a senseless boring grind in front of you, which most likely won't be rewarding at all from lvl 80 on.
    And it is not that D4 has a toxic fanbase or anything... Content creators and gamers in general did spent a lot of time to give qualitiy feedback. There was not a lack of interest from the communitiy towards game development and blizzard got a lot of input. But what they are doing with it??? Seems like they pretend to take is serious just to throw it right into the dumpster before patch release.
    I Cannot recommend anybody to buy that game.... Should have given 1-2/10 points because the early game was fun but i rearly want to push the score as low as possible.    … 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.
