    I paid $100 just to get a unfinished game that they bait and switched before the season started.

    Devs ignore legitimate feedback and nerf everything to slow people down to try and squeeze as much time and money out of them as they can.

    Beta version of the game for 70$. Itemization is total garbage, most of the stats are useless. Unique items are trash, you just sell most of the uniques you find. Class balance is terrible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Horrible Development team. Deaf on public outcry and all issues with the game. Tries to disguise lengthy and tedious grinds as additional content. Claims months are needed to make simple fixes like adding additional tabs to bank storage or increasing mob density. Has defensive resistances completely non functional within the game and claims they will be fixed by season 3 (6 months away) but nerfed other defensive aspects anyways, before fixing other options (resistances). Game is open world but there is no social aspects, no group finder, many phases so running in to other actual players is kind of rare and there's very little interaction if any at all. Also in spite of all the phases there is a ton of lag so I don't know what the phasing is accomplishing. Also there is nothing really worth doing live world anyways, only world boss fights which only occur like every 6 hours which are a joke and there was helltides which were every other hour but now they just drastically nerfed those as well. It's as if the developers seek to shoot themselves in the foot with a game that had potential but was already heavily struggling. The itemization is absolutely horrible, with tons of useless and bloated stats ruining gear such as "shrine duration and useless resistances" the uniques are mostly terrible and don't feel powerful and the ones that are powerful are rarer than winning the lottery (literally). Their first season is introducing what is essentially legendary gems, and a crappy event mechanic in order to obtain them. That is all they could muster in terms of content. Not to mention the legendary gems and the power they will add (if you are lucky) is the mass amount of power they just removed from all characters in their latest patch. They improved xp gains from nightmare dungeons which was a large improvement even though it still required over 100 hours of FOCUSED grinding to hit max level. Their pvp zone is atrocious with lvl 100s being in the same zone and able to attack lvl 70s with ease. Basically there isn't really anything good to be said about this game right now. Save your money.… Expand

    The game has potential but Blizzard seem hellbent on destroying it with a series of poor decisions. There are so many mind bogglingly bad decisions being made regarding the game, both in terms of its original release state and the ongoing balancing process.

    Oh how the mighty have fallen.

    Worse, development team seem to not just be completely out of touch with what players actually want, they seem to be deliberately at odds with it.
    The overwhelming, #1 criticism of the game is that the endgame is a slow, boring, slog. The latest past nerfed player damage and survivability, buffed monsters, lowered experience gains, and increased reward costs... 100% the opposite direction of what players are clamoring for.    … Expand

    Why there are not already 200+ unique build defining items actually obtainable? In high levels all you keep getting are the same uniques while wishing for non-unique items with marginal stat boosts.

    This game is boring as **** once you have progressed to end game - it's nothing to do.

    On a side note the campaign was very good and deserves a better score, but for those who like to really dedicate your time to a game (my perspective) don't expect light at the end of the tunnel past that point.    … Expand

    In this current state I cannot in good faith recommend this game to anyone as it feels like the player and developer relationship, while initially cooperative and positive, has now suddenly shifted to an adversarial relationship. A game that receives regular updates in which the developers fail to understand their playerbase will undoubtedly lead to increased hostility and frustration between both sides.    … Expand

After spending considerable time playing the game, I have come to the conclusion that it fails to deliver on multiple fronts, including the core gameplay mechanics, balance system, patches, and endgame content.

    Diablo 4 does not match the product that was initially advertised. The promotional material showcased a thrilling and immersive gaming experience with a rich storyline and engaging gameplay. However, upon playing the game, it became evident that the actual product falls short of these claims. The promised features, such as a seamless balance system and compelling endgame content, are lacking and do not align with the marketed promises.

    The balance system in Diablo 4 is highly flawed. The game fails to achieve a fair and enjoyable experience for players due to imbalanced character classes, underpowered or overpowered abilities, and an overall lack of attention to detail in terms of game mechanics. This imbalance not only disrupts the gameplay flow but also undermines the sense of fairness and competitiveness that players expect.

    The patches released for Diablo 4 have been subpar and insufficient in addressing the game's issues. Despite the community's consistent feedback and bug reports, the updates have failed to address critical bugs, improve gameplay performance, and deliver substantial content updates. This lack of effective patching shows a disregard for the players' investment in the game and undermines the overall experience.

    The endgame content in Diablo 4 is severely lacking and fails to provide a satisfying and fulfilling experience. The advertised promise of a robust endgame with engaging activities and rewarding challenges has not been met. The limited options for progression, lack of variety in activities, and absence of substantial rewards make the endgame feel shallow and unrewarding, leaving players with a sense of disappointment and frustration.

    Considering these significant discrepancies between the advertised features and the actual gameplay experience, I kindly request others to not play this game.    … Expand

Slow gameplay, boring itemization, and ever lengthening time-sink requirements courtesy of misguided patches. Avoid wasting your money on this one.

    Diablo IV, the highly anticipated addition to the iconic action RPG franchise, delivers an atmospheric and visually impressive world with all the familiar elements that fans have come to love. However, it is impossible to overlook the developers' evident disconnection from the playerbase, as they prioritize lengthening time sinks over enriching the gameplay experience. This approach results in a title that feels unnecessarily tedious and monotonous, ultimately detracting from the potential greatness of the Diablo series.

    One of the most glaring issues with Diablo IV is the misguided notion that elongating the gameplay by making it take longer to complete things equates to a more challenging experience. Instead of offering intricately designed challenges and engaging encounters, the developers have resorted to inflating the game's content with time-consuming grinds, repetitive quests, and artificial difficulty spikes. This approach does not increase the game's difficulty in a meaningful way; it merely creates a sense of boredom and fatigue, distancing players from the once-thrilling Diablo universe.

    Despite the visually stunning graphics and well-crafted environments, the gameplay loop often feels stagnant and uninspired. The lack of innovative mechanics or substantial improvements over its predecessors gives rise to the impression that the developers were content to rely on the series' established formula without taking the risk to evolve the gameplay to new heights. As a result, Diablo IV feels like (and truly is) a step backward, rather than the much-anticipated evolution fans had hoped for.    … Expand

    Initially Diablo 4 was a fun game when playing the main campaign. Afterwards, the grind begins at level 50, *trying* to level up, applying paragon board points, advance world tier levels, and put together a fun, optimized build to carry you through the never-ending slog of nightmare dungeons. This is when the overwhelming grind sets in, and increasingly taking longer and longer to levelInitially Diablo 4 was a fun game when playing the main campaign. Afterwards, the grind begins at level 50, *trying* to level up, applying paragon board points, advance world tier levels, and put together a fun, optimized build to carry you through the never-ending slog of nightmare dungeons. This is when the overwhelming grind sets in, and increasingly taking longer and longer to level up. I'm at level 70 now, and the progression (sheer grind) is abysmal and unenjoyable. There also many quality of life improvements needed for the inventory system and stash. You'll quickly run out of run for items, and need to go through inventory cleanup too often try to figure out what needs to be scrapped versus kept, and there's no easy way to sort through these in terms of aspects or attributes - it's a very manual process. Wishing you good luck in finding the necessary legendaries/uniques that will finally make your build work - I'm missing one that for some reason refuses to drop for me and cripples the potential of my build. This is even before the latest 1.1.0a patch which has completely nerfed most characters/skills/aspects/etc. that made the game playable and simply seems to only increase the grind. Even the Helltide which was semi-enjoyable has been completely nerfed, decreasing the aberrant cinders drop rate while increasing the cinder cost on loot crates. Only thing noticeably buffed are the enemies. Blizzard intended this to be a ten year game, but it's struggling to make it to ten weeks and it's clear the development team are out of touch with what the community needs. Whatever enjoyment there was in playing this game is gone.… Expand

    2. Many bugs and certain stats for your character dont work as intended, or not at all, like resistances, overpower and many more.

    3. Lack of end game content. There are 2 bosses in endgame currently. Why not re-use some campaign bosses as endgame bosses in the meantime while you create more new bosses for the game? The loot they drop is terrible... make them have a higher chance of dropping uber uniques so people have a reason to replay these bosses more than once per character. We cant trade uniques and seasons only last 3 months so who does it hurt if a player got one of these? Whats the harm?

    4. 'Uber uniques'... I understand the carrot on a stick helps arpg games last longer but there is no carrot when the chances of getting one are rarer than winning a large sum in the lottery.
    I would love to see one of these items at somepoint in my life.

    5. Scaling is very bad. At the endgame, there is a sudden extreme incline in difficulty. Nightmare level 100 and uber lilith are so far ahead of anything below, it makes for a very poor difficulty curve.

    There are many more gripes with the game but these are the main points of issue.

Figured this was the game launch which is notoriously a hard thing for Blizz to get right and the Season 1 patch would address at least some of the players concerns and make the game more fun.
    TBH I put too much faith in "you think you do, but you don't" "Don't you guys own phones" modern Blizz. They have continued to sacrifice player fun for profit without realizing the truth that all of the good will for the company was from when they made games that were fun to play. I fell in to this nostalgia trap. Loved D1 bought it the week it came out. Loved D2 drove 200 miles to get a copy on launch day. More or less enjoyed D3, launch was terrible but it at least felt like they were addressing players issues with the game, love the current seasons.

    Basically the way they decided to "fix" their lack of fun endgame content was simply to make it harder to get there in the first place.
    I have seen a lot of people trying to justify the massive nerf to all classes by pointing out that the S1 mechanic will make up for that. . . I would be inclined to agree if this didn't effect the Eternal realm. Seasonal content should be optional not mandatory.    … Expand

    - Lack of varied endgame activities
    - No rewards for tackling more difficult content (no special rewards for pushing higher nightmare dungeons or killing uber boss)
    - Renown system is literally just doing content in a given act (no special content, lore, or anything)
    - No easy way to group up for nightmare dungeons or other content
    - Mount movement is trash
    - Enchanting items is absurdly expensive (quickly gets to the equivalent of farming gold for 5+ hours) and you are given no indication what possible rolls you might get
    - Massive class imbalances
    - Lack of build diversity
    - Technical fixes take ages to implement
    - Most disconcertingly, devs do not appear to have a vision for the game and are not addressing player concerns

    Stay away from this game! Diablo 4 lacks in almost all the areas that make an ARPG great. Wait at least 2 years. Perhaps by then the devs will have made enough improvements to warrant playing the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Truth be told, I don't even have much of a problem with non-P2W microtransactions, because I have to accept reality that AAA online PvP multiplayer on Playstation will basically only happen if MTX is included. You can thank greedy and lazy "story-driven" developers like Sony Santa Monica for that, because they save so much money by giving us half of the game at full price, and still make bank. So of course, developers that give us the full game are going to monetize the online portion for that extra work. My problem is that I already spent $70 on this mobile game that isn't even close to a true AAA experience, and the greedy developers still have the audacity to add MTX. Seeing how this is an online only mobile game with MTX, it should've been free-to-play. This outrageous greed makes EA and Take-Two look like saints in comparison. At least they have full priced games with actual AAA quality. Battlefront 2 or GTA V alone has better quality than the entire Blizzard catalogue combined. That's embarrassing.… 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.
