Gone are the days of big packs of monsters exploding across the screen, of fun legendaries that completely transform your character, and the freedom the explore different combinations. In their place is a grueling slogfest of tiny incremental power gains, the worst itemization ever seen in an ARPG, unnecessary MMO elements, and level scaling that makes the game feel exactly the same from levels 20 to 70 plus.

    Diablo 4 tool the worst parts of WoW and shoehorned them into an ARPG format, while ignoring all the great work done by ARPGs in the last decade, from Torchlight to Path of Exile to Last Epoch to Titan's Quest.

    The game is exceptionally boring for an ARPG, and the campaign was more tedious than fun. The world feels dead and empty the whole time, largely due to the lack of matchmaking and trading. You just fight off endless hordes of same same enemies using your same same skills that never really meaningfully change. Progression is kneecapped by a simplistic skill tree, expensive respecs, and the everlasting grind that never rewards you with a feeling of power. Itemization, both loot and crafting, are so terribly uninspired and watered down that there isn't really much to speak of. D4's legendaries would barely qualify as mid level rares in other games, and have trivially interesting effects on your build.

    Overall a good looking but boring game that wears off its novelty within days and stops being enjoyable after a couple weeks. Too bad. Give it a pass now and see if it gets any better after a few years.

    The story is nice, graphic is fine and then does it become difficult to say more good things. The game is not an ACTION-RPG, it's more an MMORPG. Like WoW, but only with the Diablo Layout.

    I played a Sorcerer and finished the campaign. Right now I am Level 74. The biggest issue for me is, that you don't have the feeling to make progress. You get your skills really early, you get some

    I played a Sorcerer and finished the campaign. Right now I am Level 74.
    The biggest issue for me is, that you don't have the feeling to make progress. You get your skills really early, you get some items but it makes really no difference. You play all the time but there is no progess. You get punished for leveling.
    It does not really develop any feeling or "kind of addiction" that I want to discover more. Ok with Level 50, I had the first time a bit the feeling. You got the paragon board, a lot of new things. And you hope that you get stronger and finally smash the mobs super fast. BUT nothing happens. It stays still super slow progress with leveling. It feels also that they try to waste our time much as possible.

    Open world map 3/10 (WoW sends greetings)

    Items/loot 1/10 (just boring, a lot of trash, legendary and unique items are account bound. No trading, no interaction between players). Uniques drops super rarely and better forget already that you will find a shako. Lol one of the rarest items.. Why are you doing this with a seasonal game which resets every 3 months? Diversity at the items is also super low. Gems are useless. And at the end you sell everything to the vendor for stupid gold. NO IMPROVEMENT FOR SAISON 1. Which makes useless to play the game.

    Classes 3/10 (not much diversity with skills, just look how boring everything looks. No big effects all this things, nothing new.)

    Leveling:4/10 (just too long. I dont want to play 50 hours until I finished the story. You want in the endgame, complete your build fast as possible and then getting new loot.)

    Mobs: 3/10 (a lot of mobs which are stunning, pushing and what ever else they are doing. Low diversity in the endgame)

    Interface 3/10 (to much tabs, not enough space, What the **** is this sh*t with the sigils and the exp potion. Why is there not more space?

    Graphic 6/10 (it is fine, but not spectacular.)

    Cooldowns 0/10. Everything has a cooldown, really everything!!!!! I hate this kind of mechanics. It makes no fun. Even the fireball has a cooldown. The mount has a cd, if you want to port in the city has a cd. Really everything...

    Nightmare dungeons: 2/10 (Omg why invented this super stupid negative characteristics of these dungeons. Especially this stupid things, like the unkillable rock which follows you and release the AoE or this stupid flash which comes from the sky and you have to protect yourself in the bubble. I mean this is ok for 1-2 runs, but latest after the 3rd time, you don't want to play this anymore)

    There are way better and real ARPGS out there. And some of them are for free...
    Don't waste your money and time with this game. Maybe in 1-2 years after million of patches, it can work. But I don't believe it. The game somehow is super boring, especially in the endgame and also on the great "open world". They could have implement some nice and stunnings things.

    They are just trying to steal your lifetime. That is all. There are better things to waste your time!!

    Boring is the best word I can use to describe this game. You never feel like you're actually getting stronger as everything is just constantly staying the same as you. The open world doesn't have anything particularly exciting to do in it. Quests are just there, nothing to write home about. You'll quickly realize each class has the "right" way to build otherwise you won't be succeeding.Boring is the best word I can use to describe this game.

I'm doing the recommend stuff on W3 or W4 by clicking the same two buttos allot and everything looks like the same. It's like all the others say, it gets boring very fast, it's repetitive, lifeless. What me annoys the most are the ratings from the professionals / press. At this point Blizzards Marketing is the far more better division than the game designers and this sucks. If the game would had cost 25€, I would had given 5 points. Expand

    Too many stupid mmo mechanics, worst feeling for me! boring backtracking in dungeons, and time gated events are so tedious and stupid.... This isn't a hack and slash diablo-like, but a horrible wow-like copy. bad blizzard... really bad... The story is weak too, Lilith like Kerrigan but pretty useless..... My vote is 4 and not 0 only for Graphics, sound design and musics.

    - Story only lasts 10 hours or less
    - very boring leveling after level 50 but it takes like 50 hours to get level 100
    - I hate the skill und item progression maybe it gets more fun after level 100 but it feels too much like a waste of time.

    Also waste of 70€ unfortunately. I played most of the time alone and had really more fun with a 20 € Chained Echoes.

    - Entre 3 et 4 heures par level en solo après les nerfs de donjons.
    - Le même stuff peu importe le niveau de clé cauchemar, qu'on fasse une clé 40 ou 50+ c'est la même chose en terme de loot, on gagne juste plus de points de glyphes, et l'XP est cap sur les mobs qui ont +3 level donc ça sert strictement à rien de faire des clés plus haute pour XP.

    - Beaucoup de stats gadgets qui ne servent à rien, au final tout le monde build dégâts crit + vulne car c'est prio sur le reste.
    - Impossible de respe comme on veut à cause des aspects si on les a pas en stock, qui sont très dur à drop avec les valeurs max, certaines je les ai toujours pas vu aprés 200h de jeu.
    - La plupart des pièces de stuff unique servent à rien car les stats sont éclatés au sol, en barbare à part Témérité / Torse et Gants en Trombe le reste c'est poubelle.
    - Le niveau du stuff qu'on loot scale avec son propre niveau, donc on peut pas le filer aux rerolls pour XP car les pieces seront level max.
    - World boss / Boucher / Gobelin / Arbre aux Murmures / Oboles qui drop full items sacré ilevel 600 en T4.

    - Aspects buggés, stats buggés, bonus parangons buggés.
    - Jeu opti avec le cul, crash en sortie de TP, out of memory avec 16 Go / 32 Go de RAM, lag server en open world.
    - PVP éclaté au sol, druide / rogue qui 1v3 sans prendre un seul dégât, après on s'en doutait que ça allait puer la merde mais à ce point autant pas le sortir.

    The score difference of this game on metacritic has to do with new business practices of companies giving a taste of the game and expecting reviews to be in within the week. That means all “professional” reviews are reviews written during the Honeymoon phase of a game, and not after thorough playtesting. In addition, it is unclear which "professional" reviewers are being sponsored or not.
    Players are not organized to compile reviews and complaints. It is for this reason I have taken up the task in an attempt to unify the complaints in a single document.

    I have collected and compiled the issues players experience with Diablo 4 as voiced on several online platforms in below google document. It is lengthy, but can be navigated by heading.

    It outlines issues players experience with the game in an in-depth fashion. Inevitably the review is coloured by my own opinion. I hope this review will give context to the poor player score of the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is not worth of 70$ and has no content in it.
    Pros:
    - Pretty nice graphic and animations
    - Online multiplayer
    Cons:
    - The plot is weak and Blizzard just made the first act and the first location (Fractured Peaks) in details, all other game was made in a rush and it seems like it is not finished at all. All acts just makes you run accross the whole location straight to the dungeon. It does not make you to explore the locations they made, then what is the point of all of this? During all acts you just run chaising Lilith and in the end you go down to the hell and kill everyone including Lilith. From the trailers I waited for real war between Lilith and Inarius - you even do not participate in it, everyone just dies and you only see dead bodies and 1 boring cutscene.
    - Side quests are not interesting, they have no sens. Storngholds are the same as acts, only some of them are really well done, all others just can be bitten in 2 minutes.
    - Locations: no content on these locations and it is soooo boring.
    - Leveling is specifically lenghthen by Blizzard. You spend a lot of time to level up but for what? With higher levels different enemies do not have increased damage. You can easily be lvl 70 and kill an enemy of the same level, after that without upgrading your items you will easily fight the same enemy on level 100, the only one who will do more damage is you, but not the enemy. The only thing that gives some difficulty is world tier that makes you just take more damage from mobs, once you upgraded enough to sustain that damage - you complete the game and no more progress. Also it is worth mentioning that the mandatory dungeon that you need to complete in order to get tier 4 world is a piece of **** Instead of making something difficult and interesting, Blizzard just added enemies that one shots you, that's it, other mobs are the same as common one.
    - End game content???? Really, the only thing that Blizzard managed to do is over 100 dungeons that have 10-15 patterns and the same amount of bosses in it? Some random events such as Helltide is not enough to play this game more than couple of hours. Blizzard also made a 3 world bosses, really??? Also you will receive a note about world boss only after you finish all acts.
    - PVP is useless while you just see 100 LVL player in tier 2-3 world fighting against newbies on 40-70 LVL
    - Bugs, bugs and one more time bugs. Also servers still cannot handle all players and you die because of constant lags. And by the way Blizzard will blame all players that they have bad internet connection or they stupid enough to use weak Wi-Fi connection and that's the reason for all that lags but Blizzard does not understand that ALL players experience it and will never learn how to properly set up their servers.

    (changed from 3 to 0) Here is an update regarding Season 1:
    - they downgraded the game and made it even moe unplayable
    - the battlepass is just a scam product that you can buy completely for $170
    - in order to unlock the content of the season further, you need to complete boring challanges such as kill 1 mob, clear 3 dungeons etc. Noone limits you from playing the content except Blizzard, well, I suppose because this content can be finished within 1 hour

With this itemizations is so boring later nothing new is happening and like this till 100 and to do same dungeons with same bosses that ..
    Don't understand why they didn't implement something better .. Because looting is all the same
    you know exactly what will drop .. I don't even have to look its all same zero excitement.
    Uniq like almost non existent there like couple for each class for one or two builds ,
    Aspects should be deleted and used as passive something similar to cunai d3 with low dmg default not increased like highest roll so build don't depends on that like d3 sets, that now is very bad .. Make more uniq so replace legendary so we can have somewhat chase items and normal healthier looting where we will look forward to..
    and now I started to play alt druid and found out that game is not finished not all skills have legendary aspects and uniq items .. So you cant make build the way you want .. and on top of that vurnable makes it even less possibie to make something else.. Necro minion the worst thing..
    I would give this game 5 buts its unfinished cant play what i want like they promised, cause they don't have all aspects and uniq items for everything .. so 3 out 10

    sometimes we drop several items on the ground and as the backpack is small we don’t want to pick everything up and in the other diablos I could hold the ALT and hover the mouse and have a visualization of the item on the ground without needing to grab it to decide to pick it up or not

    when I watch a video I don’t know if the player is a hardcore player or not, when I go to my friends list to invite someone to join the group, I don’t know if the player is a hardcore player or not, if it were possible to play together, fine, but it’s not It’s possible so I need to know with an icon or other things if he’s playing in normal or hardcore, as was possible in other games of the franchise…

    the very big interface that gets in the way mainly with huge names on the item floor, horrible for those who play on a larger screen and especially in 4k because you usually play close to the screen since you have no problem seeing pixels because it is in 4k (if you play in 4k super far from the screen you are throwing money away yes)

    and I feel that the game is very focused on the experience of the console player and the PC being left aside , what I said above is just a lot of things , there are several others that bother me and that makes me think that it is because as a console player … I want to know when and if they are going to fix the game to make it pleasant for those who play on the pc and make the most of it and when are they going to start respecting the pc player who mainly made the game what it is today it is being spoiled by people not playing the game and all it has to offer. (I’m talking about the amateur devs involved)
    The only thing that makes me think is that the company only listens to what’s easier to do, which will soon make the game fall by the wayside and forgotten like many who go down that path, if that’s not what you want, I’m just sorry , but unfortunately that’s what the game is currently making me feel
    and I think that helped the bad score on metacritic
    I don’t care about metacritic, I just want to play a well-made game and a game whose main objective is to farm and do repetitive things several times, it really needs to have an excellent quality of life because after a while the small problems become extremely big when the game is lacking in content… and we know that games with seasons tend to have a long period of lack of content after a short time of the beginning of each season…

Not much content in the game other than hacking and slashing monsters - and the bosses are just bigger monsters with more health. I don't think the developers understand that itemization was the core of D2 and the reason for its popularity. It also tries to capture the dark and gritty atmosphere of D1 and D2, but fails. Also, there is not much opportunity - or reason - to interact with the other players in the game.

    My recommendation is to save your $70 and keep playing D2 and PoE. A few years ago I swore not to buy another Blizzard title again, and I failed on that. This is a reminder of why. It's too late for me - but, maybe not for you.

    you basically farm gold from level 70 onwards..

    also you need to deal with forced renown grind (gives Skill points so you basically cannot skip this) - you better like exploring the (huge) map to the full. Every Area feels kinda the same (levelscaling.)..

    my bigest problems with the game are:
    - the story is trash
    - only 2 good cutscenes the rest are trash ingame cutscenes
    - your character build is "complete" at low lvl and after that the extra upgrades dont feel good at all because everything scales with u. so you dont feel anny character progression after u have every skill u need for your build...

    Having done everything the game has to offer currently, here is my review about Diablo 4:

    Pros:
    Fluid combat system
    Good enough skill trees and paragon boards: Diablo franchise was never about having super complex systems

    Cons:

    Poorly written story

    Low quality of life:
    - Stash is far from the blacksmith which is far from the jeweler which is far from the occultist... which is far from the portal. So doing stuff on the towns always takes more time than it should
    - Two different items with the same affixes will sometimes have different presentation orders of these affixes
    - Gotta press shift to enable item comparation everytime you start the game
    - Stash too small, no search function and no affinity system in it
    - No glyph search function
    - No "mark as valuable item" inventory function
    - No "sell all" NPC function
    - To teleport to a party member, you have to go to a main town, and only then you go to his portal
    - Going to a Nightmare Dungeon will take you the time of two loading screens
    - Loading screens are really slow even for big specs (at least 4s)
    - No item lootfilter - which is really bad because later on you dont wanna pick gems, normal and sacred items.

    Poorly optimized game performance: too many stutterings on the world map
    No originality: all the concepts in this game can be seen in other games, in D4 these are done in a worse way. For example, the Nightmare Dungeon is a merge between Diablo 3's rifts, greater rifts and bounties (yes, you are forced to do D3-bounty-like missions inside the utmost D4 endgame content)
    Desync issues: currently, the only endgame boss in the game is unbearable due to desync. People have been circumventing this by doing builds that melt the boss so they don't have to deal with and try to dodge hit-kill mechanics. For more on that, look up on youtube for "Diablo 4: Uber Lilith Huge Delay with Low Ping/No Packetloss"
    Unbalanced PvP: level 100 character can fight a level 50 character.

    I could go on and on about every problem this game has, but then the review would get bigger than 5000 characters (max). In short, Diablo 4 is far from polished and finished. You can get more value from your 70 USD on other ARPG games the market has to offer.

    I purchased this game on 7/16.....horribly long d/l time for my 1 GB internet....maxed at 8 MB/s, avg. 6. ok fine, maybe BNET is just busy. Game looks nice, graphics aren't particularly great outside of cut-scenes and even then, SC2 and D3 looked pretty much the same. Maybe my RTX 2080, i9 and 32 GB just doesn't cut it anymore. Storyline seems vaguely interesting, but in a few hours of play on 7/16 and 7/17, i was disconnected from server at the end of 3 separate dungeons. Blizzard refuses to help or fix the issue. It seemed this was ongoing from the number of complaints. As many others are experiencing, all Blizzard will do is point you to a forum with unsuccessful fixes and tell you that your ISP is the issue (i've got guaranteed 99% uptime and i experience relatively zero network issues during my gaming sessions, so understandably my ISP took offense to this accusation).

    With this in mind, I requested a refund as I had played the game less than maybe 8 hours and about 40% of that was forfeit/wasted due to disconnect, can't say for sure how long because after doing some digging, I learned that Blizzard actively hides this stat so that they can tell you that you've played for too long. I had not yet gotten to level 15 of my character. How far could I honestly get that warrants keeping my $75? Purchased 7/16, requested refund 7/17. Denied. Pretty sure there's a non-revocable 3-day right of rescission in my state that they're violating.

    This is a money-grab by Blizzard and it would be nice if a class-action attorney group stepped up to pursue refunds for unhappy customers. They have clearly failed at 2 provisions regarding faulty digital content: 1) of satisfactory quality, 2) as described by seller. (I didn't see any disconnect warnings in any advertising campaigns). So if/when this happens, Blizzard doesn't just deserve it, they actively earned it for themselves.

    I hope the game works fine for whoever reads this, but just to re-iterate below:

    The build variety for endgame are very limited because some skills cannot keep up with the monster scaling so it ends up not viable for doing contents in endgame.

Some of the classes are weaker than other classes when it hits endgame. For example, endgame barb is significantly weaker than the other classes when pushing the damage limit against bosses. There's no way to get through the bottleneck even though getting all BIS gears in every pieces, while the other classes can do more damage with similar BIS gears. It's because barb doesn't have any other mechanic that can multiply / stacking the damage. They are all linear increased.

    Pushing the tier of NM dungeon becomes pointless after tier 50 as it only increases the difficulty but not the rewards. Sure, it gives more glyph xp, then what? It only gives the same legendaries that I already own. The XP rewards also become pointless when I hit level 100, so the only thing I can get is that getting one shot randomly in high tiers NM dungeon, it's not fun at all and pointless for pushing further.

    The event becomes obsolete when the player hit high level, same no reason for doing that. The endgame needs a lot more contents when player hit level 100 since other than killing uber lilith, there's nothing to do. Rerolling maybe a choice, but since build variety is very limited, it may feel like doing the same thing after serveral seasons.

I'm also sick of having to either horde my affixes I like to imprint on gear later or change my build instantly around a different piece of gear. The lack of permanence to any commitment to the skill tree also cheapens the experience as you uproot your build around what the game does.

    The itemization itself is bland, there's very little actual uniques and most the gear is not memorable. The effects on gear are bloated around way too many damage enhancements instead of focusing more precisely on the skill tree itself. You have increases around so many conditions. Increase to slow, frosted, chilled, vulnerable, overpowered, crit dmg, and it just goes on and on cheapening the direction to head in and also leaving a lot of screening through stupid gear.

    The boss fights are weightless, you down everything easily all the time. The only time I felt a sense of challenge and gatekeeping was to advance to torment (being about 7 to 8 levels lower than the recommended but still attempting was the only point of fun I really had in the game).

    The campaign overstays its welcome a whole lot. I won't specifically call out in the campaign drove me nuts, but having to repeat the same thing over and over was not fun.

    Initially I had given the game about an 8 out of 10 until I realized just how meaningless and boring it is. I love this franchise, but this game needs to much work. I can't help but feel I completely wasted my money.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Diablo 4 disappointed me for several reasons. Firstly, the game's title implies the possibility of killing or encountering Diablo himself, but that turned out to be impossible. The bosses in the game lack grandeur and do not live up to the expectations set by previous entries in the series. Instead of being able to defeat powerful demons like Baal or Mephisto, we end up fighting some minor foes like Genghis Khan and others. Perhaps the game should have been named "Lilith 1" instead of Diablo 4.

    The character classes in Diablo 4 are dull, making playing them quite uninteresting. They lack sufficient gameplay variety, which diminishes the motivation to explore different characters.

    Additionally, the game world feels completely empty and monotonous. The constantly repeating cities lack life and provide no meaningful exploration.

    Despite these drawbacks, it's worth noting that the cinematics in the game are excellently crafted. The environment boasts stunning design, and the melee classes deliver impressive visual effects.

    Overall, I consider Diablo 4 to be the weakest entry in the series. In their pursuit of scale, the developers have lost sight of the most important aspect of the game – fun and joy.

When the campaign is over it feels like you should stop playing. You can do nightmare dungeons or whispers but both feel annoying to do and at the end you have gained nothing. All the endgame content is surprisingly bland, unoriginal, repetitive and boring. They want to focus the endgame to Nightmare dungeons which is unfortunate as the dungeons are the most ANNOYING part of the game. This is mainly due to the ridiculous objectives which are there only to waste your time and add nothing to the actual experience. Itemization is a big mess. There are so many item mods that don't matter and just increase the pool of mods so it is harder to get something good. I have played thousands of hours of Diablo 3 and Diablo 2. So far I have about 100 hours in this one and I have no interest in playing more. I will probably not even play Season 1 when it hits even though I have already paid for it, that is how bored and annoyed I feel from this game.

La build ya va sobrada en la dificultad máxima que se supone que es a partir de 70 pero a 65 ya volatilizo a enemigos que me sacan 10 niveles en la dificultad máxima... se hace tedioso porque se reduce todo a entrar y salir de la misma dungeon porque es un coñazo ir a caballo de una a otra... o hacer sigilos que es básicamente lo mismo. Los bosses de mundo no llegan ni a piñata, puedes quedarte AFK y dejas que lo maten otros que te da loot igual. Hablando de AFK, si te quedas AFK en una party subes experiencia... y no, no se divide o tienes penalty por ir en party de 4, te dan experiencia extra por ello. incluso por tener otro jugador al lado sin estar en tu party, he visto a gente leveando montada a caballo, para que no le golpeen los enemigos, dando vueltas por el medio de la gente para subir de nivel... te pueden bostear a lv100 estando AFK sin problema... gente muriendo en hardcore y a los 30 minutos tenia otro personaje al mismo nivel porque claro, boostear es tan simple y rápido que pierde sentido la palabra "hardcore". Que decir de los minieventos de mundo, escasos y repetitivos, todo lo mismo, especial mérito a los de los fantasmas, estas en medio de un desierto y te dice que esta su mujer perdida en "este bosque", vas a una zona rocosa y el mismo fantasma con la misma conversación... reciclar esta bien, pero cuando es plástico, no en un videojuego!. Muy decepcionado y encima la historia corta y pobre, me arrepiento de haber pagado por este juego. Expand

    卖通行证也好,卖皮肤也好,前提是这个游戏的受众要足够多。那在质量一般好评不多价格死贵的情况下,扩大游戏受众最直接最有效的办法就是降价和促销。因此首发以69.99 89.99和99.99有望在2023年年底前被腰斩式背刺。

    然后是内容更新上看,暴雪必须在赛季开始时提供足够多足量且合格的新内容,而且在平衡性上摒弃玩家玩的爽我就削的心态。但这俩以暴雪之前的经验来看,不能说是前途光明吧,至少也得是毫无可能。

    总之,这个游戏更像是个内容更少的暗黑3画质升级版。那他的结果应该和暗黑3差不多。不温不火,半死不活。

    Technically better than Wolcen but i think still Wolcen has better level up system.

    Almost all logic in the game is like praying to Lilith shrines to defeat Lilith.

    There is so much dumb things in D4. Blizzard really needs good pioneer. Almost every popular Diablo like is better than D4.

    Most complaints are about level up system. Every level up u're weeker and u need more time to defeat enemy. Lot of minor bosses are much harder than Andariel and other main bosses.

    U can compensate your weakness with very boring loot system. There is also badly designed GUI. Its hard to find some important stats. Lazy players like me - ignore loot system until some lvl when u need to compensate the difference. Every skill at the end looks the same as at beginning. U have to use mostly usless skills and u have not many options to adapt them like in D3. Mount And Blade has better fun with simplicity, and physics if u want to do some simplicity - do the same with world immersion.

    There should be or only mana or just stamina and mana spheres. Skills/ultimates which are using only time for regeneration are too dumb (even in other diablo like game)
    Skill tree with passives is very bad. Passives shouldnt be mixed with skills, but skills should have some tuning options (for example AOE or Single enemy target toggle). I hate ideas when there is for examle every 3-rd of skill effect, but u just shoot. Its very dumb. Too many skill mechanics are like this - totally unreal - like rules for children (u must be naive and agree with some conditions). Please be next time more immersive.

    Only master level tree is some good idea but its only available at end of the game. This way it shouldnt exist.

    Sklills should be learned, and mastered. D2 or Grim Dawn have bad skill system. Even if its bad in GD its way better than this system.

    Story is avarage, world ideas are avarage.

    Gameplay - camera is much too close to player. Its a specially dumb when u fight some shooting boss from edge of the screen, U need to attack from bottom, becouse u see more and next thing, u too often dont see enemy in buildings. U enter the building and the hood is not disappearing. Even if it disappear its very bad when u cant see what u are shooting. Same problems with large pillars. If there is too lot of enemies there is also much harder with this camera and u think - "why its not mount and blade" and game about army vs army. PvE is not immersive and players mostly are the problem to do what do u want or just pause the game and do the poop.

    Only graphics and world is nice, and some multiplayer features. But still in single player i wish to pause game during the fight. It should be an option even online.

    As for me D4 is hopeless game. U create some GoKu OP character which has problems with avarage characters at end of the game. There is also no fun with loot - its to routine and so much unimmersive.

    - The title of the game should be: Lillith 1, not Diablo. He's not there. This felt more like an expansion to Diablo than Diablo itself. And people might say: yes but this is just the beginning. That's like going to a restaurant and paying for starters, dinner and dessert and then only getting starters and having to wait for your dinner until whenever Blizzard decides so.

    - The writing is done by the same writers of Dora the Explorer. It get's awfully boring at times, nothing exciting. Except maybe the end had some good arcs in it. Did the writers never hear of "show, don't tell". There's something denigrating about telling an audience that a door's locked when they can see that door, being locked. Or characters summarising what just happened for you, like you're incapable of deducing the story line yourself. And evil characters explaining the evil plot to you which couldn't have been thought of otherwise. Though, Mephisto's lines were pretty nice. I miss Meph.

    - Don't do level scaling.

    - Too many side quests are like "incentivized" exploration. At least have main and side quests somewhat in the same ball park, leave the rest of the region with findables etc. That's fine.

    That being said, not a waste of money but not a good deal either? It's in the middle. Having played all Diablo games from the very first one I can't say this is really Diablo besides all the legalities. Yes it bears the same name, yes it have the same "look" yes it's made by Blizzard but at some point thing evolves so much it loses it's essence for something else. And that's all right but don't presume to think it's the same thing, it's not.

    Lack of monsters density and types, same goes with bosses.
    Items design is boring and bland. Legendary items are falling from sky. You literally don't have carrot here and at some point you realize that you chase bigger number on item.
    Mount system is beyond annoying.
    Paragon board does not change anything besides damage boost, non game changing mechanism like for example necro curses becomes aura.

    Overall as fan of series i'm really disappointed. There were promises to give use something special with big price tag on it, this isn't special at all besides very good graphics. Potential to be great is there but need big reworks right now with real end game activities added. Without that, everyone will forget about this game very quickly.

    If Blizzard didn't have stupid 2-hour gameplay rule refund policy, I would have filed for refund long ago. Played for 3 weeks.
    Balance doesn't exist even among classes. Level 55 Barbarian easily outdamages level 75 Necro.
    There's no build variety. Each class has only one viable endgame build. Difficulty spike after campaign is insane. On Torment you can be one hit killed by regular mob.

    I found no point to play it more even they did some updates.
    From now on, there is no Blizzard in my life. Farewell.

    This game is bad enough that I made a metacritic account just to review it and uninstalled every Blizzard game on my computer.

    I created this account solely to provide an honest review of Diablo 4, aiming to prevent others from making the same mistake of purchasing it. Initially, the game appeared promising, but it gradually becomes monotonous. Unlike previous Diablo games that offered engaging end-game activities, this one lacks any compelling content for players at that stage.

Initially, the game appeared promising, but it gradually becomes monotonous. Unlike previous Diablo games that offered engaging end-game activities, this one lacks any compelling content for players at that stage. Instead, it feels more like a 'Vendor Simulator 4' where you spend considerable time running between monsters, sorting through loot, and selling it rather than engaging in meaningful combat.

    Additionally, Diablo 4 follows a live service model, and I was disheartened to learn that Blizzard chose to overlook 142 exploiters who essentially cheated the game to obtain powerful, rare items. Their response was deeply disappointing, merely stating that they were aware of the cheaters but opting not to take any action this time, with the possibility of addressing it in the future. This unfair treatment allows their streamer partners and others to retain their unfair advantage throughout the game. This breach of integrity led me to the decision of uninstalling the game, as Blizzard failed to maintain a level playing field for all players.

    The patch right before season 1 ruined the game, and grinding through the season is an unenjoyable slog. This is a kick in the pants to any Diablo fan... I had such high hopes...

    I have maxed out all characters in Diablo 1, 2 and 3 and have really enjoyed all of them.
    I was really hyped for D4 so it’s the first game ever that I have prepurchased. It is also the most expensive game I’ve ever bought. Positive points:
    In the beginning the game looks and sounds great. The story and cutscenes are pretty cool. Negative points: WAY too many for any game, especially a

    The item system sucks, drop rates suck, there are not really many items that you’re looking for anyway.

    There is no endgame, after lvl 45/50 you have to keep on doing the same F’ing dungeons.
    Your characters are slow and weak (ive tried 3 outta 5 before i had to quit this game). If you are really lucky in this game, you only have to backtrack every dungeon twice. (Grab the stone from the one F’ing side of the dungeon, walk back to return it)

    Quality of life is terrible: pets that picked up items are gone, there are no loot filters, vendors/blacksmith in town take ages to reach. The horse isnt much faster than ordinary running. You have to make mules for your first Alt bc lack of inventory space.


    There is just so much more, they really messed up with this one, don’t see it ever becoming better.

    All patchnotes so far have really squeezed out any fun/playability that was left in this game. Season 1 is starting today, this is probably my farewell to Diablo after +- 30 years.

    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.
