    It is kinda cool game to play but overall the amount of bugs is overwhelming. It was less bugs in cyberpunk PC premiere tbh.
    Recent bugs:
    - cannot log in just right now problems with license It cannot find my game license big banner: "solving da problems", - many crashes turning the game off or freezes, - three times couldn't log in into one of my characters- solution is wait 10

    Overall can't really recommend this game - playing it is just a chore, don't even think I will finish it.

    Save your money, I should have listened to my gut and opted for a refund within the first hour.

    Sadly, it's seems pretty clear that the talent has less had the torch passed, to it being replaced by compliant drones. The very short headline, the game has lost its soul.
    it's a pretty lazy shallow attempt of a game, a story designed around a DLC or an expansion a handwave time amount away, that is both vapid commentary on religion and social issues as it is boring. Borrowing techniques and systems from like games, that use the approach, simply because they don't access to the money blizzard does. The prettiness is hear in the graphics, as always with a blizzard title, but now I can't help but start to see the stitch marks of blizzards skin suit draped over an Activision body underneath, like a ed Gein horror movie Gone are the days that we replayed a game for fun, and in truth, also no having the just pure amount of selection to choose from too, and yet we and tried to be sold a used car that won't break down after 6 months and leave you stranded, after spending nothing but everyday working on it. I certainly notice a lot of people who review the game online saying how addictive the mechanics are, even though the gameplay is sub-par, and brothers & sisters, lol you are helping to make the argument that games are a bad thing, which now that massive profit-first business has infected this hobby like a cancer, is true, because we keep supporting the wrong companies make truly great games that both have amazing stories, graphics & mechanics. Younger generations may never truly come to appreciate just how much those three things used to be a standard feature in a game, and now not a sacrificed thing on the altar of profitability, by the bloat of inept middle management that would make peter Molyneux blush. and by the rest of us continuing to reward bad business practices and behaviour, madden players I'm looking at you, those younger than us, and that doesn't matter if you're 20, 10 or even five years older than new people discovering this amazing hobby for the first time, if they see this a normal, then how will they know any different?
    lets face it, we all have let this industry become what it's become, through sheer apathy and complicit indifference, if not "well I have bought MTX before, if I speak up I'm a hypocrite..." (no, no you're not under the right circumstances) and no, the answer isn't outrage or yelling and screaming from the bro-right morons either. it's simply don't buy, don't pre-order, don't MTX. your not missing out, they are, because you choose to save your cash for something better, later.
    don't believe me? fine, don't. I ain't your momma, or your common sense.
    but then don't complain, or complement things as a way to cope with the way things are, when the best thing you can do to protest, is simply don't get dragged into playing the marketing game if you do buy the game, enjoy the game for the money you paid, to play the game (no, FTP doesn't count, but I need to point that out for the simple minded folk). The only way we take our hobby and enjoyment back, is with our money.

    The game had some good parts, but game lead devs take it in a wrong direction making it worse and worse without resolving issues with the game. Not solving issues that matter to the players. Wasting player's time. Making players spend more time on the same activities than before.

    The game had some serious issues that needed tweaking, and then the 1.1 patch came out. ...the patch nerfed everything, increased leveling time by 30%, and literally double-nerfed the sorcerer -- which was already nearly unplayable because of its lack of defense.

    Why are we still surprised by this? Why after (acti) Blizzard screwed up D3 so epically it was comical. Then did it again in D2R (a game they just needed to polish to be good) are we surprised they can't get it right this time?

    The game gets 3 points from me, solely and exclusively because of the story. Which, miraculously, is fantastic. The dark, gory aesthetic to the game is excellent. The musical score is sufficiently chilling and goose bump inducing. It doesn't feel like a cartoon like D3 did. My character isn't jumping around the screen like a looney tune. It's more real, more raw, more engaging.

    This would be the start of something great. Except, once you get passed the superlative. They screwed up literally every other single aspect of them game. The leveling pace is awful, grindy and boring. The scaling system is the dumbest idea to be introduced into Diablo, since real money auction house. All it serves to do is annoy you as you run through zones to find dungeons, as it never gets easier to run through those zones.

    Which brings me too... why the hell are we running through zones constantly? You took a game built on bashing hordes of monsters to try and find shiny things and turned it into a track meet. Who the hell wants to watch a character run across a screen all day? It's insane. There's absolutely nothing interesting about the "zone" content, once you get outside of the storyline. It's all repetitive garbage, the events are all the same, rinsed and repeated. It's interesting once, then annoying immediately.

    How, after years of game development lessons, do you have 0 QOL functions at launch? Why am I running back to my stash to get gems to craft and managing that insane inventory like I'm playing Runescape in 2001. How do this many smart people sit in a room and make a game so mechanically tedious it borderlines on the absurd?

    What is fun about placing stones on pedestals 47 times a day? Who the hell thought ANY of this was a good idea?

    Edit: Brought down to a 0 for have god awful Devs have been in addressing how bad their game is.

    Blizzard is using their paying customers/gamers to find and fix bugs in Diablo4. I'm getting non-stop lag spikes, rubberbanding, non-stop lag on a gigabit fiber connection. Their balancing and season 1 patch updates were a complete afterthought without any kind of proper QA done before release. Don't buy.

    Playing Diablo 4 is like buying the new model of a car, but without the emergency air-bags, aircon, media player and automatic windows functions the previous model (Diablo 3) had. Then the seller says he will install

    Diablo 3 was a casual game (yet still very fun). This game is somehow even more casual while also not being fun. All the things that LOOK so cool about this game are totally unsatisfying when you actually sit down and play. I've been a Diablo fan for over a decade, so I have hope that given 4-5 years this game might be playable.

    S0 was not without its flaws, but was overall enjoyable. The latest changes seemingly rob what enjoyment was present as we move into S1. Cannot recommend the game in its current state as it’s been made into an even longer grind with nothing but nerfs and one uninspired new unique.

    Graphics and CGI during the short campaign were great. However it quickly became apparent that there was nothing to do end game.

There's game breaking basic things like resistances that sorcerers rely on that have been broke since beta, and they have no intentions of fixing any time soon, while insultingly offering resistance gems in season rewards knowing it's currently broken. Then they released 1.1 patch and had to repatch that patch twice in two days with more coming, because they broke so many things. They have no test realm, so everyone is just playing a perpetual beta. I may return in a future expansion, but this game is not worth my time, nor yours. Expand

    Game was fun and then Blizzard decided that was a bad thing and killed it with a single patch.
    I have 0 desire to play the game after this. Many of the changes made don't even make sense.
    Game still has all the same problems it had and all they did was make the leveling experience worse. Will look back into the game in a few season to see if Blizzard decides to provide a fun game again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let's start from the beginning! This game had a massive hype, thanks to all the media push. Fine, but if Blizzard wanted to ride that hype and reach as many players as possible, wouldn't it be in their best interest to release a clean, smooth, and most importantly, finished game?

    But no! The game was released unfinished and poorly thought out. Just the fact that you get stuck on invisible corners with the horse is a complete no-go. And let's not forget the mere 4 stash tabs, while you have to farm endless rare items just to compare and try to make something better out of them. Gems are stored in the stash, too, which already lacks enough space. And don't get me started on the useless crafting system! All those crafting material you collect in the open world are basically worthless since you can't craft any rare items. To top it off, you end up with a ridiculous number of mods/stats on items that are totally unnecessary. Who needs resistances? They're utterly useless when you need damage stats like crit hit chance, crit hit dmg, vulnerable dmg, etc. The few defensive stats are %total armor and HP, etc.

    Sure, the campaign itself is fantastic, and the cinematics are absolutely breathtaking. But after that, the game is more or less over. The endgame goals are reaching level 100 and killing Uber Lilith, and that's it. Once you hit level 100, max out the glyphs, and have almost perfect stats on your gear, the game is done. There's no point in running Nightmare Dungeons since you can't improve anymore.

    Oh, and the Helltides! Until a recent update, they didn't even drop unique items. Players didn't even know about it! So, trying to farm for specific items was a lost cause.

    Now, let's talk about the audacity of asking for 70€ for a game and then throwing outrageously expensive skins into the shop, along with a battle pass. They should be offering way more for what they're charging. It's an absolute disgrace!

    As if that wasn't bad enough, the last patch was pure harassment. They increased teleport time from dungeons from 3 to 5 seconds. Why? What's the reasoning behind that? They can't even provide a proper explanation.

    And on top of that, they nerfed almost all stats for each class. Classic Blizzard behavior! If, for example, 2 stats aren't performing well, they drag down all the others to the level of the bad stats, instead of adjusting those 2. A perfect example is the nightmare dungeons, where the monster density was high, and people loved running them. But after the patch, instead of adjusting the other dungeons, they destroyed everything and reduced the fun for the community.

    I have no idea what Blizzard's goal is, but with this attitude, they won't retain any players. It's just infuriating!

    Expensive yet fun game for the first 20-30 hours. After that it gets super boring.

    Why? No endgame. After the story the game is repetitive, single player, and requires hard core farming to keep things interesting. The rest of the game however is geared at casuals. Things just don't add up. **** management. Release patches without involving the community nor considering how it impacts

There was not much to do at level 100. World bosses die very quickly. That's not fun. There is no incentive for me to do Helltides. I have every legendary aspect other than the sun and I'm packed with resources and gold. My gear is the best that I can make it so what now? Maybe an Uber Unique?

Then patch 1.1 hits.. wow, talk about a middle finger to the player base! That completely gutted my class, my build and my overall game play experience. What was a slog before is now a corpse drag. Everything is longer, slower and harder. That's not fun. Imagine working hard for something and being proud of your earnings only for it to be stripped away. Without warning, I might add.

This is the game I was looking forward to for years. And for what? It's designed in a way that makes it seem like Blizzard doesn't play video games. It never gets fun to play, and avoids everything that is fun about Diablo games. The inventory management is an absolute chore. The town layouts are arbitrarily spread out, so you'd spend more time walking from vendor to vendor. The open world events get old after like 10 minutes. The gearing is atrocious, and the gameplay isn't fun at any point.

    I made this account just to give this game a review. Stay away, and don't believe the paid off review sites. This game thinks that games aren't supposed to be fun to play.

    adding: It's actually incredible how boring this game is. I get bored out of my mind playing it. How can the base gameplay loop be so boring? Some games, I just enjoy walking around and messing about, without really requiring any content. But this game's base gameplay loop is so incredibly dull and boring that the game feels like a chore to play. There's not a single moment of fun, ever.

    It's like they never tested the game for whether it was, you know, fun to play. Makes sense, since the devs don't seem to play games(seen the recent dev video?).

It is nothing short of an abysmal disaster that has left the once-promising game in a state of chaos. It's as if the developers deliberately set out to ruin the entire gaming experience for their loyal players.

    One of the most glaring issues with this patch is the complete and utter disregard for game balance. Instead of addressing the existing problems and refining the gameplay, the developers opted to introduce new features that only serve to unbalance the entire game further. It's clear that they have lost touch with the essence of what made Diablo great, and this patch is a testament to their incompetence.

    The worst part is the "improved" class balancing which has done nothing but create an unplayable mess. Instead of making every class feel powerful and enjoyable, they have effectively nerfed the already weaker classes into oblivion while making sure all other classes are nerfed as well just so no one has fun playing. It's disheartening to see my favorite class (sorcerer) become obsolete overnight, leaving players with no incentive to continue playing.

    Way to go Blizzard, you ruined everything. RIP to a once great company that has now joined the ranks of Bethesda, EA, Ubisoft, and so many others.

    Nothing about the end-game content makes me want to keep playing, at all. 60-100 is a slog. The "best" way to level in the end-game is to run nightmare dungeons over and over and over, which quickly gets repetitive. Crafting materials are rare, and Blizzard keeps making them more and more difficult to obtain. Class power is extremely imbalanced, and instead of buffing the classes that need it, Blizzard nerfs everyone across the board.

    If this is the direction Diablo 4 is headed, count me out. Maybe the game will be worth playing in a year or two but for now, unless you only care about the first half of the game, I'd recommend to avoid it.

    What's better yet is that I was unable to even buy the game initially thanks to regional account issues which Blizzard Activision wouldn't resolve, after finally getting that fixed I wanted to split the payment between my balance and card, yet of course that is not supported on battle.net, they advise to work around that you can top up your account with the difference... When topping up I got a disclaimer saying that it may take 10 minutes to process my top up, they took the funds from my account right away yet it took multiple days for them to release the funds and make them available to buy the game. In the interim I tried to get a friend to gift me the game but he was also unable to purchase the game for unrelated reasons. It took us weeks to even sync up and finally play thanks to battle.net crap.

    Can people stop hyping the graphics they aren't even good? Anything looks good in comparison to d3 btw but d4 looks pretty bad for a 2023 title from a AAA company. No ray traced lighting or shadows in a game that is primarily in dimly lit environments. Poor graphics for a modern title.

I'm paying for 100Mbps Internet and am hardwired into my modem. I'm running a high specked PC. AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 128GB RAM, and GeForce RTX 3080 TI. This PC handles every other game I've thrown at it with ease. Not D4. I've tried tweaking the graphics settings, but this is still an issue. I've even tried a VPN (at a Blizzard dev's suggestion) but it's still an issue. What is frustrating to me is that Blizzard will, within days, kill any bug that favors the player base, but any issue that seems to be adversely affecting players .. these will go months without a fix. It's disappointing to say the least where their priorities are. Been two months and now in season 1, the stash situation is even worse now with the hearts. Still no extra tabs. I played a lot of D3. D4 is not anywhere near that level. Expand

    Diablo IV is the exact same trash game as Diablo III, just with more monetization.

    The Diablo franchise died with Blizzard North.

    some points that it not really worth that price

    The campaign is acceptable within everything, very little innovation and what is that about having only five skills? ... after the campaign, you can only do favors to the tree and do the same dungeons over and over again they could have added a pvp area or something like that to make it more cool I think that diablo today is more

    THIS IS AN UNFINISHED GAME.

    Every detail in the game goes to tell you that you are PAYING & PLAYING AN UNFINISHED GAME. Story? Boring as Fk. I got nothing to say about it, it is boring as Fk. End. Monsters? Lacking and Annoying. Monsters are so annoyingly designed, like they have no purpose better to serve than annoying the players - the monster designs & mechanics bring no joy

    Story? Boring as Fk. I got nothing to say about it, it is boring as Fk. End.

    Monsters? Lacking and Annoying.
    Monsters are so annoyingly designed, like they have no purpose better to serve than annoying the players - the monster designs & mechanics bring no joy in slaughtering them but rather presents an experiences of "working" to slaughter them. and by "working" here i don't mean upgrading itemizations, i'm refering to "closing the distance gap," "getting into their bubbles," "AVOIDING THE ZOMBIE HUGS THAT WILL ONE SHOT YOU."
    It is just not fun.

    And the design of the monsters?
    It is lacking creativity to the max. seriously... It's 2023 and they're sticking with 1980 monster designs...
    A red soul-like creature being portrait-ed as a form of 1. Archer, 2, Mage Skeleton, .... It is tasteless, lazy, failing.
    Insects? no comment.
    I mean I don't want the developer team to go crazy on the designs but this is like they designed the monsters on a "bring your un-creative kids to work" day and swung with what got stuck on the nail-board. One of the kids must-must've phobia on FLIES.

    System bugs? The game has been released for nearly 1 month now.
    And my character still suddenly stops moving after dodging. It just stops.

    I still can't believe a game company like Blizzard isn't even addressing these BASIC BUGS in one of their fancy little NERF updates, just being extremely busy on making the game less enjoyable.

    THESE sorts of BUGS shouldn't have been presented to the players AT ALL, AT ANY STAGE OF GAME RELEASES.

    This is a seriously unfinished game.
    Seriously unfinished and disastrously tasteless game.

    The game is incredibly boring, repetitive, identical in all its parts. The story is confusing, not interesting. The enemies all look the same, shapeless masses of beasts with no personality. The cities are anonymous, the secondary characters insignificant. The game is really

The cities are anonymous, the secondary characters insignificant. The game is really easy, I could make a hardcore character with my eyes closed. There is no challenge, there is no sense of progression. Horses are pitiful, slow and useless. The bosses lack charisma and are not intimidating or fun to deal with. A large pile of well-packed garbage to rip you off 70 euros using the brand name. To never again.

    The new patch fixes none of the current problems and nerfs all builds/experience... this makes it clear that nothing good can be expected going forward. Avoid paying full price for this game, as it is only worth it for the campaign. Such a shame.

    Campaign was fun before the patch. Everything else after finishing the campaign was kinda boring but not too bad...before the patch. Post-patch, everything has turned to **** So sad this game isn't playable anymore. I still enjoyed the pre-patch diablo IV even though it got tedious and boring after the campaign. $70 for 1.5 month of playing. Never again, Blizzard. RIP Diablo.

    Little, to no, end game content, laggy and a developer who has no intention of improving the gameplay. Season 1 will go into the books as one of the most brain dead patches of any game.

    The foundation was great, however blizzard failed to build on it.

    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.
