    I have never touched such a poorly made game, and it cost me 3,000 yuan. I would rather buy Demon World for this money

    Diablo 4 has tedious and repetitive gameplay, Diablo 4 also doesn't have a good end-game (you wait for events to happen all the time). Diablo 4 also doesn't offer a lot of builds that you can make with a character that you can pick and also the story isn't as good as Diablo 2's.

    Diablo 2 is a much better game because it provides a better/darker story and has a lot of builds that you can make with a character that you pick and also provides you with better gameplay (that isn't restricted by not having mana potions) that you can experience by YOURSELF, with friends or randoms. Diablo 2 is a much more social game (if you play online) and this is because people are willing to trade with each other and also even play with each other (and which adds to the games fun).    … Expand

    Endgame is super boring. Stopped playing after campaign, 0% replay value. Would not recommend at this point - wait for patches that might make it enjoyable in 2024. I played and enjoyed both D2 and D3.

    Has a great potential, but it’s only used for milking users for their time and money. Less and less fun involved, Blizzard is only aiming to provide the least amount of fun where players still stick around.

    Devs murdered an already lack luster looter. The end game is void if any engaging content and the loot is trash. The game is bad and they should feel bad. The season 1 patch is horrific. Instead of adding content and making the game more engaging and longer. They nerfed everything to make the game longer by making it SLOWER to progress.

    This game is trash now after the update. Had hopes in the beginning but it's been completely ruined by the nerfs and devs not listening to their overall player base on what needed to be changed. None of the QOL features have been added, and instead took everything else that made the game playable and burned it to the ground. I wish I could get a refund.

Resistances, an integral, important part of any ARPG, are not working, and not getting fixed anytime soon. The stash has only 4 tabs, no search function (?!?). Respeccing is a chore as you need to imprint all your gear with new aspects, and have more aspects in case you'd like to revert back. Eternal realm characters completely nerfed to force players on the seasonal realm. I could go on, but in short, do NOT buy this game. You have been warned.… Expand

    The gameplay feels slow and unsatisfying, with long cooldowns forcing players to wait before engaging another pack of enemies. Additionally, the occurrence of random one-shot deaths and permanent crowd control effects only adds to the unpleasant experience.

    Personally, I believe that an action role-playing game should be fast-paced, allowing players to swiftly navigate through maps and dungeons. Unfortunately, Diablo 4 falls far short of what I consider to be enjoyable for this genre.

    It's disheartening to see the developers taking the game in this direction, and as a Diablo 4 player, I feel that, at best, they misunderstand the essence of the genre, and at worst, they disregard player feedback and fail to respect our time.    … Expand

    Yea, but what should i say... The Last Patch just killed the Game for me. High EXP Cuts, Nerfs (Offensive and defensive) around the Board and just giving a sht on the Community, that paid 70$ Minimum each. In Fact almost all my Builds are dealing like 30-50% LESS damage and dying faster. And they nerfed a important stat in the game "Player have #% Increased fun while playing Diablo4" by almost 100%. Giving us items for BUGGED Resistances (!!!) and will be fixed in Season 2 (?!). Are you fcking kidding me? Uber Uniques that are so rare, that no one will ever see one. Trading is a Joke. Crafting is bad. Helltides just got WAAAY longer. No Gear Upgrades after level 70 (just small ones). Stashes are way to small (playing several builds and 2-3 Classes and you are fcked). No Loot filter at all. The Hardest Boss in the game doesnt have specific Drops, lmfao.
    I really had so much hope. But boy, here i am.. Bashing Blizzard on Metacritic. Blizzard is still so out of touch with the Community. Learned my final lesson now and will move on. I am using my Random Teleport to go to Baldurs Gate 3 or any other Game.    … Expand

    I'm not here to review bomb the game. The newest patch release is a big issue, but not the only issue. The bottom line is this game is not worth $76, not even close and I'm certainly not going to be buying any seasonal pass. And this is coming from someone who have played and enjoyed both Diablo 2 and Diablo 3.

The bottom line is this game is not worth $76, not even close and I'm certainly not going to be buying any seasonal pass. And this is coming from someone who have played and enjoyed both Diablo 2 and Diablo 3.

    1. Storyline is boring. I know a lot of people don't play Diablo for the plots, but to me it's still an RPG game. Blood and gore is fine, but if that's the only thing you offer players, it gets repetitive and nobody cares. Any good storyteller knows that you have to balance the good and bad, levity with seriousness. Diablo has none of that.

    2. The LAG is INSANE for a mostly single player game. I'm constantly running in place like I'm playing an MMORPG with 40 people casting spells on my screen, and I know it's not on my side because I can log off immediately and get in another online game and the lag would be totally normal. This is tolerable in early games because of how easy it is, but a complete disaster when you get into nightmare dungeons later. At higher level, the game is literally unplayable when the lag hits. To say this about a single player game is absolutely crazy.

    3. Patch 1.1 made things a lot worse. It was supposed to be a class rebalance, to nerf OP builds and elevate others. It did neither. Necromancer is the only class I played, the OP build is still OP, just a little less so, other builds are still trash, but multiple game mechanics are made harder. This essentially rewarded all the early players who exploited glitches and broken mechanics to get to lvl 100 and farmed out all the best loots, while punishing new players with a much steeper grinding curve and difficulty level. The Helltide used to be the place to farm gear, but the new changes made it irrelevant. I literally could not farm 250 shards in an hour to open even just one mystery box, when I used to be able to do 2-3 an hour consistently. Again, punishing new players who didn't start on Day 1 or casual players who just want to take their time.

    The list of issues with Diablo 4 goes on, I could keep going, but I won't, because I literally don't care about this game anymore. When you are looking at a sinking ship, you don't need to stand there and list out all the bad decisions that led to this juncture, you just need to get the hell off that ship.

    The $76 was a scam, for maybe 20 hours of decent gameplay that reminded me of the D2 or D3 I used to enjoy. That's why I give this game 2 points. And now they want to charge more money for more content?

    No thanks. Time to move on.    … Expand

There are dozens of dungeons, but they all feel the same, repetitive. There are random world boss events that occur at odd hours and are easy to miss. There are helltides that are fun for a short while and then become very repetitive. The worst part of the game is the itemization, once you reach level 60ish, it is extremely difficult to get any upgrades, everything that drops is usually worse than what you already have. the grind becomes very tedious without a chance to upgrade, so there is very little reward for your efforts. I had a cautious expectation that the game will slowly improve and end game content will be fun and rewarding, however after seeing the patch 1.1, I have lost hope. It seems the devs are very disconnected with the reality of the game and what makes an ARPG click. I am afraid they are repeating Diablo 3 early drama, it took a major shift in the dev team to salvage Diablo 3, and seems we are going the same route. I doubt the current team is playing their own game, perhaps they're looking at spreadsheets and making changes. The patch 1.1 has removed the little fun there was in the endgame.… Expand

Made every aspect of endgame harder and more boring. I played d2 and d3 quite alot but in D4 the quality of progression for endgame was mediocre at best and got stale really fast. i think im just going to not play diablo 4 for a while until they get their **** together and really listen to the community. Sorcerer class needs a complete revamp as for them to be viable, they need 100% of their slots dedicated to defense skill node, no variety in builds that are viable for endgame content, non of the sorcerer uniques are viable and have "conditional" effects that are just absolute garbage. Hopefully the malignant hearts might alleviate some of these changes but i don't really have faith for this season.… Expand

    Boring cash grab using the Diablo brand. Could tell it was going to be rough during beta because there were plenty of issues to fix and let's be honest, we all knew Blizzard wasn't going to fix anything. They don't fix things people - they can only make things worse. Glad I stopped playing when I realized that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game had a pretty Ok launch. It had many bugs, however player base ignored that simply because at first the game looked fun.
    Once people started reaching the end of the campaign, leveling from 50-100 became a lot more repetitve, tho you as a player sticked to NMD, Helltides, Whisper Trees, World Bosses.
    Once I got to level 70 it all started to be even more boring, suddenly my only options where Helltides and NMD, (and from time to time Worldboss).
    Once you get to level 100, only thing left to do is grind, grind and grind. I get it, all of this might be part of an ARPG?
    But then I decided to levelup a couple of alters and TBH, my sorcerer early game was fun, but after 50 I simply leveled it up just because I wanted to see its endgame, spoiler, mostly trash, and I tried several builds.
    The rogue, however it was fun to play from the very early to the endgame, tho In comparison to my necromancer (my main char) it never dealt as much damage, but I don't see that as a problem, since necromancer was designed that way (a bit OP, to my taste).

    When patch 1.1.0a came and I read balance patch I was thrilled to read patch notes, maybe they went for an small step towards a balanced game, but I still was missing fundamental features like:
    - More stash space.
    - Turning gems into artisan material (to save up inventory space).
    - Adding loadouts
    - Increasing the amount of end-game content.
    - Social features, like global chat, LFG
    - Many other features actively requested by the community.

    Don't get me wrong I get it, you can't get all the content at the start of a game, but then I went over the patch notes for 1.1.0a and I could not believe what I was reading, they basically nerfed EVERY class, except for rogue (or better said, rogue was the one coming out of it in the better shape).
    And they nerfed XP, consequently slowing everyone's progress in the game.

    So I was pissed of, after investing hundreds of hours at the game Blizzard was just releasing a patch that effectively was making the gameplay WORSE, making the Eternal Realm not a viable option for the majority anymore. So the only hope was the Seasonal Realm

    Today I decided, even after the disastrous 1.1.0a patch, give a try to the seasonal content, and after 5hours of play I just went off-line, everything is much more less fun to play.
    And about balancing (the one thing they were supposedly addressing with the latest patch) mostly everyone is playing Rogue, Necro or Druid in this order and my necro which was OP is still OP, just doing half the damage.

    In conclusion, i would not recommend anyone buying the game, at least for the time being.    … Expand

    Understanding that gameplay is more important than profits is crucial for a "game" company.

    Because it is a game company, after all.

    There seems to be no trace of consideration for what makes the users enjoy the game.

    It is unpleasant to sense a focus on what will inconvenience the users and create unnecessarily long playtimes.

    It's not a diablo game. I mean, there isn't even a diablo in the game!!

Worst itemization seen in over 10 years (when D3 came out the did the same mistakes, creating wands with +str and dex... just as an example). ---    TL;DR:

    ---

    I played Diablo from the first version back in the 90's. The best Diablo was D2 in patch 1.09d
    When they released 1.10 for D2 it became cruel and hard, but still beatable.
    D3 was a horror trip while the auction house existed and the itemization was so awful (dropping wands with str and dex).
    D3 became better, although it was reduced to grind portals forever, barely ever leaving a town. but that was still better than what they did to the diablo game with Diablo IV.

    First, they REPEATED THE SAME MISTAKES (wands with str+dex) and created an absolutely demotivating itemization. when i return to town after a dungeon i am not eager to find out what cool drops there were, no, i am SCARED to visit the merchant because i now have again to spend 5+ minutes on an inventory full of trash, reading through waaaaay to long tooltips and dozens of different stats and bonusses to find out, whether an item MIGHT oder MIGHT NOT be stronger than what i wear.
    Legendaries are a joke. They are just rares with a random aspect slammed on them.

    uniques are a joke too as we can't even reroll ANYTHING. why did they not make it, that we can try to get a better roll on one single stat? I mean, not CHANGING what stat it is - uniques shall be blueprints, thats ok, but just try to reroll the value of a single stat? there are dropping so few uniques... it's horrible.

    And then... patch 1.1 came just before the season. omg.... my sorceress is dead, unplayable.
    Hell tides make no fun.
    Dungeons are just awkward and lightyears away from being fun.
    Itemization is not even worth the energy, that the white pixels of this text consumes.

    Wow.. the old bait and switch. The price for admission is too damn high!
    Latest patch killed the game and now the newest update doesn't really help bring anyone back.

    D2 is still far superior and will continue to be moving forward.

    I had fun doing the campaign. after the campaign you may as well stop playing. honestly I'm pretty mad I spent $70 on this game. feels like a $15 game with no replay value. There's no incentive to keep playing. I've been having more fun playing Chivalry 2 which is free on gamepass.

    For context, I played Diablo 2 extensively. I played Diablo 3 and all expansions extensively. And I was a pre-order victim of Diablo 4. I have a level 80 rogue on the enteral realm and a level 25 rogue on Season 1.

    The overall game is executed well in that it is mostly performant. I like the switch to a live service model. I also think that the main campaign storyline and cinematics are the best they've been since Diablo 2. This compliments are the best I can give.

    Eternal realm characters will run out of meaningful things to do starting around level 70. Many players have acknowledge a "rinse and repeat" formula for endgame and I can absolutely confirm this experience. What was great about the previous games was that while grindy, the hunt for great items made the time spent worth it. I am not sure how this team got loot so wrong, but it's not as rich as previous Diablo games. Arguably, the loot and item system is actually not even as good as Borderlands games, which borrowed heavily from the early Diablo games. It's one of a few things you wouldn't expect the dev and design team to miss. And miss they did. Which begs the question: why am I grinding through dungeons if the the reward system is so bad?

    Season 1 only released yesterday and I already have a level 25 Rogue. I'm not sure I'll be coming back to Season 1 after yesterday's binge for the same reason as mentioned above: there isn't enough to do and there isn't enough to motivation to continue. The Malignant Hearts partially compensate for the heavy nerfs from the unpopular patch, but even these lose their new luster pretty quickly, and there are so few of them, and several offer buffs you'd never choose if you had a choice. Again, the loot and reward systems aren't compelling for a game franchise known for creating really fun and viable builds, and the endgame grind is so slow now that unlocking buffs through paragon boards means most of you (and I do mean statistically darn near all of you) reading this will never be able to achieve your build potential before the season ends in October. Even Diablo 3 seasons were better executed than this, which gets to my main criticism...

    Diablo 4 lacks innovation and feels thin, chincy, flimsy and neutered as a result -- especially once you reach mid and endgame where the lack of innovation creates a boring "seen this before" experience. There are so many great ideas out there, ones that Blizzard probably considered at various points internally, and would mean so much to the community but also to their monetization and retention strategies. Examples include: the map is underutilized; world events are poorly timed; the commerce system is 20 years old and has somewhere between 3-5 currencies; co-op scaling is silly and has similar issues to the lackluster loot and reward system... I mean, we're talking about a $1B game 8 weeks after launch.

    Why does a triple A game still feel like it's working out beta issues? The worse question is: why did they get so much wrong?    … Expand

    Hardly anything positive to say about the game. Brought it same as I did with Diablo 3 and regretted it all the same. At least for Diablo 3 it took me longer for the regret.
    Diablo 4 is a slow start slog fest very unfun until about lvl 40-50.
    From those levels up to about 70 the game is decent at best. After 70 is it another slow grind slog fest. At lvl 92 killed Lilith on Nightmare.    Hardly anything positive to say about the game.

    At lvl 92 killed Lilith on Nightmare. That is basically the endgame and nothing to do after(First season did not solve this). If you are going to copy POE at least do it right, not this mess of a season whatever it is.
    With the new seasons patch(They are trying to copy POE's success but failed horribly)
    Season patch with not only the nerfs(regardless if they revert them is just not fun).
    This game should had never been released it feels like a late alpha game or early beta game.
    I'm going to let them polish it up for 4-6 months and maybe give it a look again.

    If you want to waste money and time, take this game immediately. There is a chronic server problem and while clearing a long dungeon or fighting against a boss, a mystery server problem kicks you out of the game and resets all you've done about that dungeon or boss. Also, almost nothing new about the gameplay. I don't understand why the Diablo Immortal is free but this one overpriced...

    Is it fun to play? Well for a newcomer, it might be, even considering all the issues mentioned in previous reviews, at least until level 50-70.

    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.
