    Diablo 4 is a letdown in all ways. The world is bland with areas looking the same, the old designs in D2 with different acts and enviroments are gone. Now we have grey snow, grey desert and grey forest.

    90% of the enemies are same from Diablo 2. They also level up the same time as you, so level scaling is on the game full-time Speaking of being on full-time, you need to be on

    Speaking of being on full-time, you need to be on full-time with always online requirements for no reason then more money for Blizzard.

    Story is boring, and people are getting killed before i even get interested in them. You have two cinematics in the whole games, and the rest is in-game cutscenes.

    You can only fight the bosses in the game once, because it's not like people enjoyed it in Diablo 2 - right?

    Then yea. there's nothing else to do in the game. Proceeed to random generic dungeon and farm random generated items with no personality. Nothing stands out, it's just a hamster wheel like World of Warcraft with no passion. Everything is micro-managed to suck you dry out of money.

    Mount is in the game to sell you more skins, now you even see your own characther in the loading screen so people buy more cosmetics. Other then that, the mount is AWFUL and cant be streered in any direction. You also have 30 seconds of cooldown on it because let's just waste your time even more.
    There's no way to join other people and meet new persons online, you only have a emote wheel for some reason.

    You have 1 stash tab that are shared with all your chars. You need to farm renown for some reason. (Because everyone wanted renown in Diablo. This isnt WoW.)

    You also need to farm 180 Lilith Statues because they love wasting ur time.

    Every NPC in the towns are randoms bots with forgettable names.

    Returning to town constantly and scrapping items so you can upgrade stuff later on makes everything even more tedious. Because why not waste ur time even more. It's not like the gems in Diablo 2 worked great.

    I played the campaign for 30 hours and never looked back. I made the mistake of buying the early access because i wanted to support Blizzard and play the game long-term but everywhere i look in the game, everything is just bland and uninteresting. This is a proof that you cant make a good game with alot of money if you dont have the passion and creativity as a developer.

    Avoid the game at all cost and spend ur money on other developers that continue to deliver good games such as Larian Studios or FromSoftware. Several good indie developers on Steam aswell.

    Dont buy the game. Dont support Blizzard.

    Old Blizzard is gone.
    New Blizzard cant balance or create games at same level as their history.
    Just look at Dragonflight and Overwatch 2.

    Everything in their games are designed to waste your time, and create problems to later on sell the solution to you. 80% of the stuff you are doing are just waiting and managing stuff in the game. 20% is actually playing the game. It's just arbatory hoops for all the players without any reason then to just stretch the game out and keep the player retention.

    It's a toxic mindset and has nothing to do with passion of making games, just to f**k you over as a consumer. You are a number-digit in their data and nothing else.

Patch 1.1.0a happened, though, and as a result I'm actually giving the first zero I've ever given in any review on any site. Without fixing anything the community considered a problem, the patch gutted player damage output and survivability, across the board. Nerfs happen, we all know that. In this instance, however, there's a strong case to be made that they simply felt players were getting too far too fast, and that crippling them would further sales of their season pass tier skips. I've never seen a worse patch, much less a worse first major patch, and unless Blizzard reverses course, I'm done with the game. Right now, I just feel like a sucker for imagining they'd actually done something right. Expand

    Sound the dread alarm for our friend Diablo was killed by the very studio who created it. And instead of listening to fan feedback the devs are just going to dig in their heels and get combative with the very folks who keep their game alive by playing it. What a damn joke of a studio Blizzard has become.

Stupid "smart" weapons with fixed-to-your-level damage coming from 4-stat mould, no gear subtypes, dull small pathetic icons. I don't even say about "white items", "unique items", etc - these are simply nonexistent, there are only these d3cloned "legendary yellows". I had a feeling that loot will be similar to D3' one, but had a hope they will improve it somehow. And yet they made it even worse, wow. Unplayable. Loot, together with stupid scaling, simply won't let me it. Zero desire to launch this game again. Expand

    Most of the characters are ugly with maybe ONE single option for each class that looks decent, Transmogs are rampant and just trash. Then we come to the items......the itemization is probably the worst in any diablo game so far and that what make the grind in this game pointless, the loot simply blows. D4 is a joke...the end of a once great franchise and absolutely not worth your time.

    It gets a 1 because it looks good, but also because it's an abomination. The constant crashing. The mediocre performance (my 4090 doesn't work this hard in other games). The inability to balance the game or have any sense of direction. It's just a cruel joke. RIP Diablo, you were one of my favorite series.

    I've played Bethesda games that were better at launch than this. Fallout 76 wasn't this bad, and that game was bad. It's like Blizzard hates their playerbase. Every chance they have to make the game better they go and do the opposite. D3 had a rough start, but I didn't loathe the game. This is so bad. I'd get a refund if it was possible. I've played indie games from small studios that were better and did a better job of balancing and listening to players.

    They ruined one of the best franchises in history. Oh and there's a cash shop too.

    I am done with Blizzard and their downward spiral of game design - clearly their interest in revenues and profit has affected their ability to provide quality any more. I guess I got my monies worth by reaching level 70 and giving up on the 'no reward repetition', but I probably only stuck at is because I paid £70 for it. Looking forward to games with content next.

    Possibly I missed some but looking through my entire inventory every 10-15 minutes for stupidly small upgrades before selling or dismantling them got boring incredibly fast. I would have to check 4 stats on every item, check which is BiS for the build, compare to my current gear, figure out if I can reroll one stat to make it better etc. Most of the time when you can reroll a stat, you get 3-4 attempts and don't get anything good then it costs 1 million+ gold to continue rerolling so you just scrap it.

    I had pushed to lv96 before the season 1 update and was somewhat still enjoying it for short bursts of play but since the update my character has become laughably weak. I could push nightmare dungeons 20ish levels above my character as a whirlwind barbarian (not anywhere near as high as other classes could) and now I'm struggling to manage 5 levels above without dying multiple times.

    The story was good and the CGI scenes were amazing but if I was given the choice of going back before I spent 70 quid on this, given the direction it is heading, I would not buy it again.

    Diablo 2 R was much better.
    The artstyle is nice.
    The inventory is not great.
    There is no map overlay.
    There is not much innovation for this kind of game unfortunately. Not even loot filters. God knows why.
    The game is not worth 70 USD/EUR. I think 40 would be more appropriate.

    I really wanted this game to be great but it just is not.

    The open world does not work (the way they did it). A format like D2 would have been much better.

    The game was best for me when it was challenging but that rarely happened - only when I was under levelled in a new difficulty for a couple levels.

    I like the story. It is dark but not as epic as D2 - but that is something I can live with. The voice acting and writing is solid.

    Once you finish the campaign the game gets really pointless very quickly.

    I played different characters up to level ~80 but then really lost motivation. I was asking myself why I should continue all the time and then stopped.

    The cosmetics shop sucks. It makes the game worse. I wish it was not in the game.

    The game also had performance issues on my computer.

Unless you actually try to understand how deeply horrible their practices are you'll go unaware and probably depressed for some mysterious reason that you can't put your finger on.

    Game is a decent experience unless you want a complete game, it will always be bad so that when they release the good they'll do so with a price tag attached, by this way controlling the flow of gamers.

    Armor skins:

    Blizzard "developers" stated that the armor skins you can collect for free in the game are of the same quality but the shop armor skins are much cooler, which makes them much less cool which makes literally all armor skins in the game uncool.

    I suppose some people don't care about how the core game suffers because of Blizzard's intentional design in many areas this "design" is similar to the armor skins.

    And if you think about this more and more you'll eventually see this NASTY practice all over the place in their games.

    It didn't use to be this bad, but it is now and I don't see it changing.

    Every patch they release is an insult to my intelligence, they can't patch away their greed no matter how many useless "5% more/less for this thing" patches they release.

    Blizzard was promoting their Diablo Immortal game in a 20 minute "over hyped super high vibe omg this is the best" developer livestream before they were to announce season 1 features for Diablo 4. That's a nice way to insult your audience no? I remember vividly, hordes of players were screaming in agony in twitch chats.

    But again, Diablo 4 has alot going for it. It's just a shame that it could have been a much better game, had much better multiplayer features(lobbies, chats - ways to play together). Could have had better less incremental idle game loot structures(Diablo 4 loot makes me miss Diablo 3 loot, and sure Diablo 4 has further longevity compared to Diablo 3 loot curve but when you hit the end it's inferior to Diablo 3).

    But why talk about D4 or D3 loot when D2 loot was much better than both. D2 also had better multiplayer functionality than D4 which is very strange considering the age difference.

    Not once when playing D2 did I ever get frustrated over being phased around while joining friends groups or having to study for my PhD in porting science to understand when I can port to my party members in open world.

    But why make a good game when you can use a solid foundation to create cheap bait to hook players over and over again. And with this concerning how multiplayer is underdeveloped in D4, I'll assume it's on purpose because why wouldn't they.

    People would just simply love D4 too much even without changes or patches or seasons if it had the qualities of D2 but grander, and the multiplayer functionality of D2 but better. Why would we even want stupid seasons or updates then? We would simply be happy the game exists and enjoy playing it.

    Blizzard is a horrible, unhinged games company, and they'll go unregulated for a long time ahead and they'll evolve their horrid practices over time.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but the past few years of trying to enjoy their games has only enforced my perspective. Needing copium, pretending/roleplaying that I'm not surrounded by the horrors is what I need to enjoy their games now.

    The actual game is decent, but the constant lag and poor performance since launch is bad. The new season arrives and it's worse, way way worse. If i can't play the game that I paid for I can't recommend it to anyone. I'm not a troll, just a disgruntled customer who shelled out £80. I feel like I've been scammed.

    The lack of interesting endgame other than pushing NM dungeons to a higher number...
    The stupidity of reaching the cap of best gear droppable at level 60-70 and after that is all micro improvements.

    And after all this, the first major patch is a full nerf to every. single. part of the game to slow down players because is a Game as Service so they want to keep players only playing this game for 3 months each season.

    Sincerely, I have never felt this frustration for not being able to refund a game.

The skills and paragon board in theory offer lots of options, but in reality, unless you want the game to be even slower, force you down a meta root.. if you wanna be meta, you better be ready to read other websites. Always online, whilst being almost impossible to get a group going. Touted as having 100s of dungeons, but theres only 15 different bosses at the end (not that any of them make any difference as they're just mobs with larger health pools)
    If I hadn't been stupid enough to already have paid for Season 1, I would not be playing. I will end up doing what I did with Diablo 3, and coming back in a couple of years when they've sorted out an unfinished mess.
    Avoid, come back in a couple of years, when its at 75% discount.... if it lasts that long.

Now teleporting out of a dungeon is 5 seconds instead of 3 it's like they added time to it. There was a lot of bugs and broken things in the game. Did they fix it ? Hell no they rather nerf everything and they don't even fix the stuff ppl are asking for. The devs need to get their act together. Now no one wants to play hardcore because of the stupid nerfs. This doesn't even feel like a diablo game anymore they are trying to change everything and make their own game. No one wants that we just want a normal fun diablo game but no the devs only listen to their egos no wonder why they have such bad backlash.

    They need to hire devs that actually care about their game instead of making everyone upset. It's sad when a game comes out with patches and has backlash every single time. Doesn't that tell them that their BS isn't working ? Fire the devs and hire diablo 2 devs to save this dumpster fire of a game.

You just can't do anything to avoid that. Also, you get one shoted by enemies you can't see on the screen. And there is a lot of walking from point a to point b without enemies between. For an Action rpg, it's pretty bad. The loot is not exciting at all, always the same mediocre items and unique items are useless. Those who are good are not humanly possible to find even by playing all days for a century. So you grind for a 1% better item until burn out.
    There is no social tools to group with other people so it's pretty much a solo game.
    I was hoping them to fix at least some of those issues with the first big patch but instead, they destroyed the little fun we had.
    And i was a defender of the game before.
    The patch make the game more slow, more frustrating more unfair. To quote someone on reddit: Diablo 4 is an ACTION RPG with slow paced action.
    It's a LOOT hunter with boring loot.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review is more to tell people how to get refunds at this point. Read at bottom.

    The Good:
    -Cineamtics team still turning out great work, probably the only team producing things with any amount of care in them.

    The bad:
    The story: Every character is a literal idiot who can't seem to recognize pure evil staring them in the face
    The Gameplay: Ever watched paint dry but wished it was "darker and grittier" then this is it. Zero impact to any skills, slow as crap gameplay made even slower by bloated travel times in a completely dead and empty open world that exists to sell mount skins
    The Company: Blizzard by and large is the worst AAA games developer currently, dethroning EA and UBisoft by leagues.

    Refunds: If you paid by paypal. Call them and issue a chargeback complaint. Using the games ratings and news as evidence, you can easily make a claim that the product was not as advertised and failed to meet customer expectations

    Credit Cards: Call the company and ask to do a charge back citing the same reasons. Your mileage varies here because it's per vendor.

    NOTE: If you do this Blizzard will cry foul you violated their ToS and ban your entire account, if you're like me, this is a blessing. If they do I intend to then perform chargebacks on every game they now removed from my possession since their ToS is not across games

The Devs have shown time and time again, that they want to move in the opposite direction of what the community wants.

    There's just a severe lack of content in every single aspect like combat, loot, crafting and social. This sounds exaggerated, but there are actually dozens of small indie games with multiple times the amount of depth in every single aspect of the game.
    Now, instead of even trying to fix the problems, the devs decided to slow down the game in every single patch. It's getting slower and more boring by the day, which definitely isn't the right direction here according to the community.

    If the game was just fixed it might very well be an above average game, if the devs worked together with the community it might even become a good game. They somehow managed to nerf the game from a solid 5 to a 2-3 at best, though, so lets not get our hopes up.

I think we've learned a lesson though and won't be pre-ordering any more games until they've been out a while so we can see where they are going and if they are worth it. Expand

    Are you asking if I have tried playing games or if I am involved in the process of game development and release?

    Why would we think Diablo 4 would be any different after the Diablo 3 blunders. Even though the game was missing dept and balancing in the endgame at least it was playable and somewhat enjoyable. The latest patch is the opposite of what has been asked for and the developers talked about. It is also way too early and literally made the game unplayable for many of us.

    Those of us like me we only read about the end-game challenges now do not need to worry as we will never get there

    Enjoyed the campaign, which you'll likely finish around 40ish. That's the only good part, otherwise the "Critic" reviews would be far, far lower if they played this steaming pile to a higher level and during the current state of the game. The critic reviews are just another bad joke now. Streamers at the season start were incentivised to build the Hype and generate sales.

    Patch 1.1.0, right before the first Season, gutted every aspect of the game. It's not unplayable (if you aren't trying to play a Sorceress anyway), just adds far more tedious repetitive garbage, heavily nerfs your damage, and greatly impacts all aspects of survivability. Streamers (aka people literally paid to play) are even outraged. Yeah, I'm done. Don't buy this game, seriously.

    After being a dedicated D2 player for years and then taking a long break from gaming, D4 was my introduction back into the gaming world. On the plus side, the game is gorgeous. The campaign was fun and the cut scenes were top notch.

    However, after level 60 or so, the game starts to slow down and by endgame, it a bit boring, and yet, frustrating, because playing as a sorceress meant a lot
    After being a dedicated D2 player for years and then taking a long break from gaming, D4 was my introduction back into the gaming world. On the plus side, the game is gorgeous. The campaign was fun and the cut scenes were top notch.

    However, after level 60 or so, the game starts to slow down and by endgame, it a bit boring, and yet, frustrating, because playing as a sorceress meant a lot of deaths from off screen enemies or taking ages to slog through mobs waiting for my skills to be available again. I was sticking in there though and for the most part enjoying it.

    And then came the patch on 7/18. Sorceress class went from a tough and frustrating to just about unplayable. Before I could maybe get enough each helltide just barely to open a mystery chest. Now they made it even harder. My skills are junk, cool down is an issue and I tried a NM dungeon that a few days ago was manageable and now is like trying to run through jello. No longer fun. Just added slog to the game, took away the fun parts, and didn't add anything fun back in. Seriously considering Uninstalling and moving on. Major fail which is sad because early game was fantastic.

    The latest Season 1 patch did it all. Absolutely no future at all in this awful game.

    Out of touch devs nerf hammer to all builds/xp/helltides.

    No buffs in sight, no qol changes, just removing all fun from the game

    After they released the patch notes for season 1 It has become very clear that they couldn't care less about the players. Couldn't recommend the game at this state.

    Diablo devs out of touch. Game was released with a finished campaign, but zero thought or effort placed in end game or past lvl 60/70. Not worth the grind, doesn’t remind me of older diablos after campaign. Honestly, wish I could get a refund. This isn’t what I expected from beta

    They must have used the same group that made cataclysm in wow because that was the last time I saw so much potential get ruined ... the constant changes to everything every week makes it not even worth trying to get gear because your build is just going to change next week patch 1.1 just nerfed every class I haven't seen or heard a single person say something good about it

    The good:
    The campaign: It's long and good, but then it gets repetitive. It has very good cinematics, very good music, the graphics are good and the voice acting it's good
    The Bad: The game after level 50 is the same, everything takes longer, but that would be decent within the game progress(too much to learn). Then it comes a point where everything is slow and it feels like a chore

    The Bad:
    The game after level 50 is the same, everything takes longer, but that would be decent within the game progress(too much to learn). Then it comes a point where everything is slow and it feels like a chore rather than fun. You are not rewarded with good loot and you are punished for wanting to do hard "end game" content (if there is one) because of that.

    Overall:
    it's a good game until you finish the campaign. Then it turns into a grindy game with little to no rewards for your time invested. But in my opinion (I can be wrong) the worst was the out of touch recent patch note, because it didn't address the concerns or issues that the game has. It just makes que game longer and grindy chore with no rewards and some classes just don't feel worth playing.
    I can understand that is was a hard nerf because of the lunch of Season 1 and they don´t want the players to rush the content and stop playing. But this it's not the way to do it.
    As i said, i can be wrong because of how i feel the update based on my experience playing it now, but that's how i see it.

    most recent patch killed what little enjoyment the game had to offer. i feel like i wasted $70 dollars beta testing a triple a game.

    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.
