    I knew this game would be bad just from the footage from the beta but I decided to buy it just to give it a chance with friends. I have thousands of hours playing diablo 2 and have been a fan of the franchise since my early childhood. I had more fun playing Chronicon for $12 off steam then my $90 copy of diablo 4, and Chronicon doesn't even have multiplayer which is a huge downfall.I knew this game would be bad just from the footage from the beta but I decided to buy it just to give it a chance with friends.

    When you play ARPG's you expect to be fighting through hordes of monsters with a badass character and the game to feel good. What you get out of diablo 4 is an empty desert devoid of life while you kill 3 skeletons because they are afraid of packsize.

    This game is absolutely horrible, the systems are overly complex to try to pretend it has depth like POE. When it is just complex to be complex. Example: 30% fire resistance, reduces fire damage by 14.8%. Not to mention that all damage snapshots, so if you get a damage over time on you like poison and you press your 1 defensive cooldown with 50% reduced damage taken. It doesn't do anything to reduce the damage at all, the damage is snapshotted before you had the damage reduction.    … Expand

    Updated my review after playing S1. Score is average because it feels like an unfinished game for the price. However, the art and music are excellent. There are still a lot of bugs that need to be fixed, but I am having fun so it's not too bad.

    The monetization strategy has been shown and will likely only be temporarily relieved when game expansions drop, the goal is to keep players shelling $$$ for the season and make the permanent game unbearable and unenjoyable.    … Expand

    Devs are completely out of touch, and think nerfing everything (like cooldown reduction by 30%?!) to slow people down is a substitute for adding additional content. Don't waste your money.

But right now the entire Diablo 4 team is less competent than even JAGEX of all companies and its not even close. It takes them weeks to fix massively impactful bugs and issues, they release things broken and not working, they do basically nothing and barely have any new content flowing despite the promises of massive changes each season.

    All of this not to even mention the fact that they haven't got a single person on the team capable of even the most basic creative design decisions anymore. Generic and garbage aspects and uniques, their team that already needs 700 man hours to issue a basic PR to even start working on a basic day-to-day bug is for some reason wasting their already inefficient and limited time on an 'uber unique' system in a game that HAS NO TRADING and therefore literally no one will ever get the items even if they played 10,000 hours straight (you probably think I'm exaggerating but I'm really not).

    At launch this game was more boring than previous Diablo titles but the foundation for greatness was there. Unfortunately, it has only gone downhill since. Nerf after nerf, every single patch has been tailored to slow down an already arduous grind. It's obvious that they have their launch money and don't care about the future of the game.

    Back then I had mixed feelings after playing Diablo 2 and 3 for the first time, the impression was not very good, Diablo 1 and Path of Exile remain the top, but still I played it a lot. Diablo 4 had the same mixed feeling again, although it took the best of Diablo 2, 3 and Immortal. Hack and slash aRPGs probably won't be able to satisfy me anymore, definitely not for 70 euros on Battlenet.

Wouldn't it be possible to increase the damage of an attack by just 1% to see where things lead? The Season Stones are utterly ridiculous, and is that really all? Why must players level up an entirely new character when only 1-3 stones are required? Seriously, Blizzard? This deserves a solid 6! And then these extremely rare uniques, where the drop chance is at 0.00000000001?

The world quickly becomes obsolete and you spend your time in the same dungeons again and again. Too many stat types on items with many meaningless additions. Balancing has been all over the place since the beginning and the first major patch was a giant miss to many players with communication. The first season is monotonous in tone and scope and only adds to the inventory problem. The devs need to really get inventive on the base game and seasons going forward. This game probably needs another year or even an expansion before it finally feels good. A lot of promise, but falls far from delivery. The story starts at a high, grounds to a terrible slow mid game and then picks up at the end. Cinematics are top notch and voice acting. Graphics are glorious at times, but we cannot properly see every detail with how the game plays, also please add more camera zoom in/out features soon. The devs are committed to fixing the game, but the game needed another 6-12 months in the oven realistically. I may update my score at a later date but this is a mid-game and most streamers have stepped away from this game for now and the views on Youtube etc are dwindling.… Expand

    Unfinished game. Blizzard decided to nerf everything because players were completing the campaign and material too quickly. No effort to improve other classes or weak builds, just nerfing skills and items. You wake up and your character does 40% of the damage you used to, what a joke. I would steer away and look for games such as baldur's gate 3.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game started off so well with a great story, until you hit endgame. If you want to keep up with everyone else and be capable you get one class option... If you want to be even able to attempt success as a sorcerer, you get one build option... your forced into using shards, with one adjustable spell slot. And your pick through paragon board and skillset must be exact or it will fall flat, NO room to experiment and have fun with other builds, even with 12k health you will still get 1 shot by EVERYTHING that is with every AC and Health increase available on the paragon board. Even using max rolled disobedience with God-rolled gear... even if you get the 840 item level weapon, a level 70 rogue or druid or barbarian with low rolled gear will survive better and deal more damage. And have options. I play magic based games for the fantasy of being a sorcerer/wizard/mage with the power of fire ice and lightning and that's what appeals to me, and I thought i could find here. To be able to kill the endgame boss as sorcerer you have to bring 3 extra armor pieces and swap mid combat. The number one defense we would have been entirely unfunctional which is resist all elements and specialized resistance to wielded magic. As well as instead of fixing this obviously RUINED class they keep buffing the enemies and making it harder, even level 100, invested heavily into defense, with very good gear, fully coordinated with high rolled stats and over 800 item level on everything, you will still get one shot by most everything during a helltide. The classes should balance, and all have options for different playstyles viable. But no, they say we built this game all around playing druids so druids can laugh at everyone else for being dumb enough not to pick druid.... I am sorry but I am very touchy about my size, I work really hard IRL to not be overweight. The idea of running around fat would just make me sick.... why would I want to fantasize that am? I understand for some it isn't a choice, and they can't help it, but it is very hard for me to not gain weight. Every other class can quickly burn down bosses and easily survive hordes. But for some reason as a sorcerer, your forced to have very slow damage to them until you stagger them, then you can kill quick, but if you don't swap gear in combat you can't get from staggered to dead fast enough. we should not have to work harder to play than other classes. There should be balance. Even people who play other classes feel sorry for us sorcerers and wish they would do something to improve our situation, but they just don't want people who would want to play sorcerers to enjoy their game. It's very saddening to me because I waited until reaching level 100 and unlocking full renown with very good gear and much time invested. I haven't even started the new season yet because of how disappointing the experience has been. I wouldn't mind starting over if playing a sorcerer actually mattered, but it doesn't. People can get chill and vulnerable easier with other classes/gear why do they need a sorcerer around? Why can't we have fun too? The story line is truly amazing, with wonderful cinematics. But all that that brings evaporates the instant you realize how unfair class balancing is. and we are playing another game that even though a gear says a certain percent, you cant trust it because they have adjusted to performance of the metrics to not match what the gear says it should do, 30% should be 30% period.... if you get above 100% resist you should be healed for what goes over it, and let the stat actually function.… Expand

    The game is not that bad. But the actual state (1.1.0) is lacking the fun of the series: killing enemies fast, drop loot, have a build that's adapted to your play style.

    As the first season is live, it appears that the devs will not let the players have any of that: in each patch, they nerf loot and build, they buff enemies.

    However, d3 season 28 is pretty cool. And cheaper.

    Setting all rules to 0 with a new season might work, but applying this 2 days before? Should we respec & grind for 48h? But I can live with that.

    It's ok to have less end-content or a smaller season, as the game itself occupied so many ressources, this is fine for pre-season and S1 for me.

    But the biggest mistake is how they handle the renown system and codex of might (Aspects)!
    I am totally sure, that this will be the 1st and also the last time I will re-do this! Never ever again!
    As there are so many skill- and paragon points within the renown system, it is kind of mandatory. Bypassing this "passivly" by running nightmare dungeons doesn't work, as you need these points ASAP. Not all dungeons are nightmare dungeons. And last but not least the affixes might force you to reroll keys.
    At the end of the day this means, you'll rush through ALL dungeons on WT1, running to the end (if it's not a %&/$§* "Kill all mobs" one) hour after hour. Or doing stupid side quests, like: bring this camel back to town...

    Endgame grinding, equip farming - that's Diablo.
    Even a new fraction or another level of reputation for the existing ones - ok.
    but a reset of the entire reputation and all aspects - no chance. Never again. This is my personal red line I do not cross, I will never to this again. If it's not changed - I will quit D4.    … Expand

The best quality (meaning armor looks and designs and overall visual appeal) of content is available through the in game shop for an obsurd amount of in game currency.

    Terrible itemization, every class needs vulnerable stat and CC reduction since its so damn strong in endgame.

    Game is too dark, it's hard to differentiate between elites/champions and normal trash mobs because they removed the colorization they had in d3, it feels like you are always fighting weak or strong trash mobs.

    Bosses are terrible, they have zero mechanics, just pure damage sponges.

    To make the pace of the game slower, they nerfed builder skill damage. You are always building up resources to spend it in a second. Combat is really boring, felt so much better and smoother in d3.

    Leveling is a slog, it takes around 150 hours to reach max level if you play solo and don't exploit party benefits.

    World events are boring as hell, it feels like you are forced to do boring chores copied directly from world of warcrafts world quest system.

    Mount is the worst functioning system in the game without a doubt. Clunky as hell, keeps getting stuck between barriers placed out in the world and needs to charge a charge for a speed boost. If you get dismounted in combat there is a 30 second cooldown lol.

    UI looks like pure garbage, optimized for consoles and it shows. Too much emphasis on the character look (obviously for mtx reasons) and too little on the loot. It doesn't feel good when you get new good items, there is no dopamine rush like there was in d2 and d3.

    This game is not worth 70 (or 100 with the battlepass) dollars. The story is very generic. The only good thing about this game is the graphics in my opinion. If you really want to buy it wait for a sale and pick it up for 20-30 dollars. When you reach lvl 60-70 you have pretty much done everything there is to do in the game, there is no point in reaching lvl 100.

    Im a lvl 80 barbarian and i kinda forced myself to keep playing in hopes it was going to get better but the game felt like a boring chore the entire time. In my humble opinion, do not buy this trash.    … Expand

    it was an amazing game until it was fked by it own "BALANCE TEAM"
    cool graphics and the gameplay feels some what okay atleast for some class. (barb and druid early game feels GARBAGE) i changed my class twice and saw how much better rogue was. so theres no point to continue when ur fav class is dudu and the team decides to nerf the intire game

    The game feels extremely unfinished and just falls completely short of competitors. Critics scores are from paid reviews and clueless people. The game is worse than diablo 3 although it looks nicer occasionally. Pathetic cash grab.

    Pre-ordered the game because I had a lot of fun playing their beta test. Since launch there were a few hiccups, but things were looking positive, with a lot of hopium balancing on the table to make the game better. Then come season 1 patch, this really showcase that D4 devs doesn’t **** know what they’re doing, and a bunch of morons. Classic Blizzard.

    After the honeymoon phase expires as it does with every other media what is left and how it performs after that time will determine the true worth of the game. Unfortunately, Diablo 4 has not delivered and is on a course to continue on this trend.

Unfortunately, Diablo 4 has not delivered and is on a course to continue on this trend.

    After the initial euphoria of a new Diablo title and romp around sanctuary, one starts to realize that there is very little to do after the campaign, and what is being offered to you after said campaign is repetitive disappointment. Not repetitive in the sense that you are spamming the same dungeons or locations over and over again, rather, the constant tone deaf alterations to the game that makes these repetitive actions even MORE obnoxious to do which damage this game for the foreseeable future.

    Specifically, the myriad of patches and hotfixes with the intent to lengthen some of the worst parts of gameplay are being, and continue to be implemented that run counter to the desires of the most loyal and knowledgeable fans of the franchise and genre. Sweeping nerfs to experience point gains so that it takes longer for people to experience what the majority calls "the real game" which transpires upon entering World Tier 3 (usually level 50-52). In reality it is upon reaching World Tier 4 (usually around level 70+) that the game is truly "opened" in such that you can now obtain the unique items that define most builds and are the target of many players (not including uber uniques).

    The EXP nerf is further exacerbated by a torrential downpour of nerfs to damage on ALL major fronts IN ADDITION TO Defensive nerfs. Critical Damage, Cooldown Reduction, Core Stat, Crowd Controlled Damage, Total Armor, and Damage Reduction all nerfed. Monster Health can QUADRUPLE So not only does it take you longer to kill enemies, they also kill you faster, thereby arbitrarily increasing time played. They nerfed avenues of reward obtainment as well, by making Hell Tides (events in their game) redundant and relegating them to only being a place to farm 2 or 3 resources from a place that was previously used as an alternative means to obtain gear by reducing gear drop frequency and increasing the amount of resource required from 175 to 250, a 42.8% increase on a TIMED event that REMOVES all of said resource when it ends. Meaning there is no longer an incentive to even do these events if you aren't low on the materials.

    Some character builds suffer horrendously with 0 change in sight despite the many many patches. And their "nerf everything" mentality doesn't bode well for character builds like Fire Sorcerer, Boulder/Companion Druid, or Minion Necromancer; Fire Sorcerer being the most egregiously terrible build that its pathetic.

    It feels like Blizzard is giving the playerbase 30% of what they want at the cost of 70% of what they currently have. "You wanted higher mob density? Ok well we will take away the density right now but we will give you more in the FUTURE. Oh you want us to buff loot drops? Ok but we will decrease loot from some other part of the game as a trade. You want buffs to damage? Ok we will give you a 25% buff to basic damage but as an exchange we will make you take more damage and we will nerf damage multipliers by 30%. Oh you want stash tabs because you have no more space for gear? You'll get it, EVENTUALLY, even though our game is about getting a ton of loot."

    Their actions are almost completely disconnected from the community that the community at large consistently wonders if they play their own game. It feels like Diablo 4 is a Wet Towel and each nerf is the towel being twisted and stretched as Blizzard attempts to squeeze playtime out of the game in as many undesirable ways as possible.

    I scored this game as a 5 because despite its current trajectory I was having fun during launch and for many weeks after, almost maxing out my first character and making plans to start a new one and I can't just give a troll low score. However, it is the current trajectory and decisions being made by Blizzard that cause this score to be lower to virtually negative. Their decisions are laying the foundation of the future of the game and this score takes that into account.

    As long as they keep this mentality of nerfing constantly in ways that increase tedium and frustration in the game the reviews and the moral of the community will remain low and when other games capitalize on this, the players will leave in droves to places that offer the BARE MINIMUM in terms of this type of game    … Expand

    Blizzard didnt respect the time and effort we took to grind our build. Weeks of grinding were thrown out of the window with one patch. My character now feels 15 levels lower. The time taken to build 15 levels are definitely gone. Am a casual player with a day job. Our time play after work is limited. They didnt respect that

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My gaming experience of S1 is awful! Those so called designers never try to make the game interesting, they only care about whether camel is barking or not. Since Blizzard ruined WC3 and Diablo in recent years, better think twice before purchasing their products in the future.… Expand

    Generic, soulless and extremely repetitive gameplay. A lot of things copy pasted from Diablo 3. Graphic looks kinda good but it's the only advantage of this game. Not worth the price of 70$.

    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.
