    What a pathetically boring endgame experience . After you hit 100 that’s about it , and one could easily argue that the game is really over way prior to that . The game should START at 100 , not end . I expected a lot more from the Diablo franchise . Save your money . This game is awful .

    I created an account here purely to express my frustration with this game.

    Diablo IV will leave you feeling cheated.

    It's like unwrapping this beautiful candy wrapper only to discover a turd inside.

    Is this an out of season April fools joke? We should have know the game would be a **** show when it became a live service game. Uninstalled the game right before season 1 due to all the bad decisions by developers. In my opinion they need to get rid of Joe Shely because he doesn't seem to give a care in the world what the player base has to say. Not sure if I'll ever play this gameIs this an out of season April fools joke? We should have know the game would be a **** show when it became a live service game.

    Hit level 100 on barbarian and deleted shortly after. No endgame content, boring itemization, boring pvp, total waste of time.

    Complete waste of money. Devs are incompetent. Fixes are far and not enough. New season is bland and uninnovative. Would love nothing more than a refund.

    There is nothing to play in endgame.Sidestories are also boring except chapter one.(They just want you to think this game is wonderful in beta.And after you buy the full version,they don't care about you anymore)

    Just like the tradition of 2023 Blizzard, they dont try to make the game fun to play, instead they mess with players by killing every aspect of the game so that players have to suffer and spend more time. Doesnt worth the money. Just like their every other games.

    Season one is a piece of **** can believe that I have to farm in dungeon when I am only lv 50. There is nothing much in this season, how could that last for 2 months?

    Season 1 brings 0 interesting things to do. XP process is not enhanced in a ny way. Diablo 4 is like Diablo 3 with better graphics and worse mechanics.

    Only 2 playable classes for high tier. Resistances are all broken. Get one shot with no chance of dodging or mechanics to avoid. Not a fun game at all. 42 year old gamer and played all previous Diablo this one’s crap !!!

    Bought the early access game for 90 euros. Played few characters. Season 1 dropped (have season passa included in my early access edition) - went to play Path of exile for free. Pretty much sums up the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Blizzard's production is completely in line with their usual style, the super bad balance and the production team have released semi-finished games as usual, and ordered such a high price to ruin the environment Expand

    I paid the most expensive edition of the game to receive the same game I played during Closed Beta in September 2022, with all the bugs that I reported during beta included. Not good.

    Unfinished game launched early to destroy Last Epoch and Path of Exile 2 chance for market share.

    Diablo Immortal, their app game ruined by monetization, had way more to do than Diablo 4 on launch. It's pathetic. Battlegrounds, raid instances, better social, etc were all in there from launch. D4 endgame loop is not fun at all. As many people have said before, we all love the nostalgia

D4 endgame loop is not fun at all. As many people have said before, we all love the nostalgia that Blizzard games bring to us. But I think they are truly just a corporate swamp now. I suggest no one buys any cosmetics or passes until we see rich content and features added. Reskinning dungeons is not enough. Just because it was done in the past and worked, doesn't mean it's the winning formula for the future. They spent maybe 50 million on worldwide advertisement when the game was basically selling itself. If they just spent half of that on a massive development team, they would be making even more money on cosmetics right now!!!!! Such a shame....

    The game deserves a slightly better score but hopefully these ratings will pressure them to fix things sooner.

    Background on me: I've been playing blizzard games since I found warcraft 1-2 at CompUSA . A few years later, i snuck in diablo 1 in my moms shopping cart at Costco. That should give you my age range... lol

    I wish there was an enormous class action lawsuit against this company for the bait and switch they did. Bring in the most players then drive them completely away once they get your money.

    Disappointed with Diablo 4. Paid €150, but the game feels incomplete with numerous issues and bugs. Updates seem pointless, and developers haven't engaged players effectively. Hope for improvement, but currently unsatisfied.

    its a "No fun allowed" kind of game. Anything thats fun gets removed or nerfed to the point where its not fun anymore. Dont trust the diablo fanboys, they're boot lickers.

    I know that it is easy to jump on the bandwagon and keep kicking the dead horse but this can't be overstated. Diablo IV is one of the worst games I've ever had the displeasure of playing. It's basically a worst Lost Ark (if you can believe it).

    Boring itemization. SO many unnecessary interruptions while doing dungeons (which are not randomized and interesting) Doesnt feel like diablo, but more like a lost ark clone lol. rather play other more fun arpgs.

    Blizzard, have you guys played the fucing game by your own? So stupid… the updates are hilarious, so many bugs and you guys just fix the color of the Druid? Return the money back to me! Microsoft shouldn’t buy you guys.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Why does renown exist? Why does itemization feel like complete ass? Why does my horse get stuck on rock? Why is duriel just *there*? Why is blizzard so hell bent on nosediving their IPs into the ground lately? Holy **** this game is trash. Save your money. Expand

    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.
