    How can ANY game get 0-2 user ratings and also get 8-10 user ratings? Because this has been totally corrupted by user expectations not being met. When I see comments about 0 needed to "balance all the 10's", oh my goodness, this system of user 1-10 ratings has failed, totally.

    I am 67, playing games since from Atari 16 bit cartridge days. I'm hooked. Played all the old hits, including Diablo 1. Diablo IV is a masterpiece in presentation and overall enjoyment. Sure, as an ARPG, some things decided are questionable and the must have on-line with micro-transaction store nonsense gives it a black eye. But it still does not distract from the fact it is worth the money and it is loads of fun.
    Combat system is right on the money, from dodging and sound, skills, etc. Yes, it can be better, and it will be. But review bombing and approving only negative reviews? Oh please, grow up!
    Critique it, help Blizzard make it better. Everything can be improved. But review bombing this game is not fixing anything.

    REVISION: Oh my goodness!!! The Nerf patch before Season 1 and what got served for Season 1, what the heck is wrong with Blizzard? Hey, let us slow things down so maybe they will will buy those ridiculous microtransaction items! Game got a lot worse and Blizzard is failing at "live service game". Campaign is great, good foundation, but corporate greed will bury this game. So successful at launch and they dig a hole for themselves on season one. One shot off screen, my character is more squishy, millisecond telegraph of one hit kills, major resistance bug ignored, QOL updates delayed, yadda, yadda, yadda. I so loved this game, and still do as it was on release. I have to now downgrade my rating. Quality delivered product, but current team and Blizzard corporate, they are going to kill this "live service" online only game. Now I hate that phrase, "live service". Thanks Blizzard. Thank goodness Baldur's Gate 3 released. Shame Blizzard, can't support your business model anymore, it should reside in Hell.

    Un retour épique à la saga légendaire

    Un retour épique à la saga légendaire

    En tant que fan de longue date de la série Diablo, je suis ravi de dire que Diablo IV est un véritable retour aux sources de l'univers sombre et captivant qui a captivé des millions de joueurs à travers le monde. Ce nouvel opus est une véritable prouesse en termes de graphismes, de gameplay et d'histoire, offrant une expérience qui dépasse toutes les attentes.

    Tout d'abord, les graphismes de Diablo IV sont tout simplement époustouflants. Le jeu parvient à créer une atmosphère sombre et lugubre qui reflète parfaitement l'univers gothique si cher à la série. Chaque détail est soigneusement conçu, des environnements sinistres aux monstres terrifiants. Les effets visuels sont saisissants, et chaque coup d'épée ou explosion magique est accompagné d'un spectacle visuel éblouissant.

    En ce qui concerne le gameplay, Diablo IV a réussi à perfectionner la formule qui a rendu la série si addictive. Les combats sont fluides et intenses, offrant une variété de compétences et de pouvoirs pour chaque classe de personnage. L'arbre de compétences a été repensé de manière à offrir aux joueurs une plus grande liberté dans la création de leur style de jeu. De plus, le système de loot est extrêmement gratifiant, avec des tonnes d'équipements légendaires à découvrir, ce qui incite à l'exploration et à la progression.

    L'histoire de Diablo IV est également un point fort majeur. Les développeurs ont pris le temps de créer un scénario riche et profond, rempli de personnages complexes et de retournements de situation inattendus. Chaque quête et chaque dialogue contribuent à l'immersion dans le monde de Diablo, et l'intrigue principale est captivante du début à la fin.

    Enfin, Diablo IV propose également un mode multijoueur en ligne qui promet des heures de jeu en coopération avec des amis ou en affrontant d'autres joueurs dans des combats intenses. L'aspect social du jeu est renforcé grâce à des événements mondiaux et à des donjons partagés, ce qui encourage la communauté à interagir et à collaborer.

    En conclusion, Diablo IV est sans aucun doute l'un des jeux les plus attendus de l'année, et il mérite amplement toute l'excitation qu'il suscite. Avec ses graphismes époustouflants, son gameplay addictif, son histoire captivante et son mode multijoueur passionnant, il s'annonce comme un ajout exceptionnel à la saga Diablo. Que vous soyez un fan de longue date ou un nouvel arrivant dans l'univers de Diablo, vous serez certainement séduit par cette expérience immersive et sombre. Préparez-vous à vous plonger dans un monde de ténèbres et d'aventures épiques avec Diablo IV.

    Rereview September 3rd: After the initial enjoyment ne excitement for Season 1 I haven’t logged in for weeks. It’s become monotonous, extremely slow and it seems to be getting worse. I’m fully convinced blizzard has lost the meaning of the word fun and has completely pivoted to corporate greed.

    Original 9/10

    The world is gritty and expansive, the little details and sounds you hear while venturing around are amazing. The story, albeit short, was enjoyable to follow, I just wish it was longer.

    There's a lot to do but the world group activities are few and far between, this needs to be addressed as soon as possible with either more content for world events or lowering the time between the current events.

    PVP is fine, I would not recommend anyone looking for a PVP game to go into this thinking it's going to scratch that itch.

    The graphics and sound quality are amazing, the immersion it brings is fantastic.

    Overall I'd rate this a 9/10, Solid foundations, enjoyable story, a vast world to explore and a path to an even better game with future releases.

    Due to time restraints was only able to play character to level 50 during initial release (barbarian). Playing rogue now during season one and having a blast. All the zeros seem to be mostly from folks that don’t like changes to their specific class or are grinding out late game. Can’t speak to late game, but from 1-50 the leveling experience in Season 1 has been a lot of fun.

    I recently had the opportunity to play Diablo 4, and overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The game boasts some impressive features that truly make it stand out in the ARPG genre. While it does have a few shortcomings, it remains a captivating and entertaining title worthy of praise.

    One of the highlights of Diablo 4 is its meticulously designed scenarios throughout the map. The world feels alive and immersive, with stunning visuals that add to the overall atmosphere. Exploring each location felt like an adventure in itself, as I uncovered hidden secrets and encountered challenging enemies.

    The gameplay mechanics in Diablo 4 are top-notch. The combat is fluid and satisfying, offering a wide variety of skills and abilities to unleash upon hordes of demons. The endgame content provides a substantial amount of replayability, with various activities and challenges that kept me engaged long after completing the main campaign.

    Speaking of the story, Diablo 4 delivers an engaging narrative that delves deep into the lore of the Diablo universe. The intricate plot twists and character development kept me invested in the overarching storyline, constantly craving to uncover more about the world and its inhabitants.

    Lastly, while Diablo 4 offers a satisfying challenge, I couldn't help but feel that the game could have been more difficult, especially for seasoned players seeking a greater test of their skills. Implementing higher difficulty options or incorporating more challenging encounters would have added an extra layer of excitement to the gameplay.

    The game have a few bug, server disconnections all the time.

    Im old, played Diablo 1 to death when in my teens, enjoyed Diablo 2 and somewhat appreciated Diablo 3. Now, Diablo 4 is something else: a true gothic masterpiece (on the art side) with absolutely solid gameplay and the best UI job I have ever seen on a PC game.

    Best Diablo game since Diablo 2. Finally Blizzard made a good game after YEARS of terrible games like Diablo Immortal, Diablo 4, Overwatch 1 and 2.
    The game is excelent but lacks some polishing that hopefully will come in future patches.

    Great graphics, even better set and feel, the music and art style are amazing. Big map, great story, good gameplay, challenging and fun.

    Whatever the negative reviews are, are from ham and eggers who do not understand the fundamentals of modern ARPG games. The base of this game is fantastic, they just have to build upon it to make it a near perfect game. It's no Diablo 1 or 2 however that time has passed and we have what I call the real Diablo 3.

    Im giving it an 8 out of 10 which would be a 9 out of 10 when they release the PC version because it is so clearly made for console that its painful. Yes, there is almost no stash space, Gems take up the same slot a 2h xbow does, renown farming allegedly is being addressed this afternoon by the devs but I swear to G if I have to redo all of that bs I will STILL being playing this game because it is really fun! I've gotten to 80 then basically killed my character farming mats for cheat death procs and I wasted no time going again and am now 86.

    I understand why there are a lot of negative reviews, I'm sure some of the objectively do not like the game, but the majority here of these 0's I kinda gotta laugh at, this game couldn't be a zero if it tried and marking it that low is generally a sign of git gud (not everyone, but most). If you only focused on the bad things I could see a 4 outta 10 but the base game, the cinematics, the fluidity of the gameplay (which still can use a lot of work) makes it a solid purchase, even though the price was a bit high.

Le système de loot est très bien dosé, il n'est ni punitif ni trop facile (le mix parfait entre D2 et D3 en fin de cycle dans lequel la foire au loot qu'il proposait vidait totalement de son sens le sentiment de satisfaction lors du loot). Le loot tue le loot, un loot ca se mérite un minimum et ce diablo 4 est particulièrement réglé à ce niveau.

    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.
