    Do NOT buy this game. Critic reviews have not reached end game. Blizzard has ruined the game with nerfs and artificially slowing player progress to a crawl. QoL features are non existent and there is no end game. AVOID THIS GAME LIKE THE PLAGUE

    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…    … Expand

    Game was covered by an awesome story and animations but once you dig deep itemization sucks which was supposed to be the heart of any arpg game such as Diablo. It’s true that the old Blizzard is dead. Pre-season was decent 6/10 but from there just down the drain. Will not pre order Blizzard games on the foreseeable future.

    The patch today was a steaming pile. I think most people would agree with that. Nerfs across the board never sit well with gamers, especially in ARPG's. But I don't think they understand how "on the fence" most people already were.

    As more and more people reached the end game and realized how truly lacking in depth this game really is, the tone amongst Reddit, Twitter, Discord, and    The patch today was a steaming pile. I think most people would agree with that. Nerfs across the board never sit well with gamers, especially in ARPG's. But I don't think they understand how "on the fence" most people already were.

    As more and more people reached the end game and realized how truly lacking in depth this game really is, the tone amongst Reddit, Twitter, Discord, and Forums started to shift. That was two weeks ago.

    The fact is, people are getting bored. This is an ACTION RPG with slow-paced action. It's a LOOT hunter with boring loot. This is an MMO with no social aspects. A dungeon crawler that feels more like a game of fetching the stones and putting them on the pedestals.

    The cracks are starting to show in the end game, and people feel like we're playing a paid Beta, you decide now is the time to drop a patch that **** on every build. What better way to push everyone over the edge than to nerf everything?

    Damage? NERF
    Defense? NERF
    Cooldown? NERF
    XP? NERF
    Power Leveling? NERF
    Helltide? NERF

    Sure, some builds needed to be fixed, but you didn't have to completely gut entire classes while you were at it. But the nerfs are not even the point of this post. I don't even care about them. I'll adapt and overcome, I'm not afraid of a challenge. But this patch made me really think, why play season 1 at all? You didn't address a single one of the NUMEROUS valid complaints about this game.

    6 new uniques? If you think adding 6 new unique items for every 3 month season is an acceptable pace to bring some depth to the sorely lacking itemization in this game, I might as well not play until season 30.

    No leaderboards? No in-game trading with an option for self-found mode? No paragon board reset? No Occultist changes? (Cost or listing possible outcomes) No group finder? No stash tabs?

    Nothing, in fact. Not a single thing to shine a bit of light on this **** sandwich. You made the game slower. Mobs take longer to kill, and yield less xp, and we're now gated to lower world tiers until the "recommended" (now mandatory) levels of 50 for WT3 and 70 for WT4.

    So on Thursday, we're expected to start over, but this time it's all slower, less fun, time & experience gated. And all to get to the end and realize what an unfinished and lacking game this really is. Again. Still.

    Maybe if you spend less time trying to "balance" a SINGLE PLAYER PVE GAME WHERE NOBODY CARES ABOUT BALANCE, and more time adding things that are actually fun and immersive, you might sell more battle passes and cosmetics.

I'll start with the graphics: I changed the color adjustments, sharpness, and color saturation several times. Nothing helps: maps are poorly readable, characters in cities are almost invisible, ARMOR has barely visible details, including a stash - you can't see what you hover over with the cursor, what is the special symbol, color, etc. Skill tree - graphics hopelessly smaller than game settings, it's hard to see what you choose in the next level. The whole game is grey, unreadable when playing in cities and in combat (and I have good eyesight!). Playability: you see almost no change in damage when you add levels to a skill, getting the items needed to level up your gear - again, the graphics! it takes a lot of effort to see lying items worth collecting during the game, it's best to hit everything you see and it slows down the game. Navigation: tasks (subtitles are especially small, I tried to change them) do not suggest where to go, sometimes you don't know which way to go after leaving the city in order to complete the main task. Script: I don't know what the character is doing. I don't know what motivation he has to look for something and push himself into this nightmare at all, instead of buying a horse and going to warmer countries. Another thing (I thought it affected a small number of people but I read the reviews that it doesn't): the game increases the problems with nausea. In my case, it is possible to play for a maximum of 1.5 hours, then the headache and dizziness begin. I don't know why this happens, it's not my job but with D-2, D-2R and D-3 I've never had such problems. And the price: for such "something" that I don't want to play, I paid 100 dollars. I regret the money spent. I've been waiting so much for this game.… Expand

The additive buffs are literally irrelevant. This patch kills s1 hype completely. This review is from a lvl 100 Twisting Blades Rogue who despite the insane lack of end game content was still having a ton of fun before this new patch.

They intentionally nerfed mob density to slow leveling so now your cool downs run out before you can reach a second pack of monsters. It's supposedly a social game which is why it has to be online and you can't play when servers crash, but there's no group finder feature so you'll never play with others in dungeons. There's no build diversity for the classes. You are locked into one of two meta builds. If you play sorcerer, you have to pick all ice, lightning, or fire skills because the skills don't benefit cross spell types. Most of the quintessential diablo skills are useless. I came to play classic diablo sorcerer skills like hydra but they nerfed that because it scaled too well at level 25. Essentially I paid $70 for a classic diablo sorc experience and still haven't gotten that yet. Players were having too much fun power leveling friends alts so they nerfed that. They even added an additional two seconds to the cast time to leave a completed dungeon because the pace of play needed to be slower. Seriously who intentionally adds longer loading times to a ARPG? Mount is clunky AF. If you touch the directional stick while they mount up, your character will be locked in place until you let them finish their initial burst of movement when mounting up. One of the only fun things to do was helltides but they nerfed those because community was making maps to determine where the best chests were. Now the cinders drop at lower rate and it takes even more cinders to open the good chests. Blizzard admits that the casting classes are underperforming because their main stat intelligence drives elemental resistances and they acknowledge that elemental resistances are broken and wildly underperforming, but say they aren't going to fix anything about that until season 2 in several months. It's just not an entertaining game. I wouldn't even buy this game if it were on sale for $20 right now. It's not a finished game and the developers are actively making it worse with ongoing changes. After diablo 3 launched and was meh, they really got it right with reaper of souls xp and subsequent patches. They've since forgotten all those lessens and are charging full price for a markedly worse game that they are actively making worse with every patch.… Expand

There have been no meaningful QOL changes that have been desperately needed already, not even but a little over a month after launch. 90% of what the community has asked for has been ignored/communication has been radio silent. I do not recommend touching this game for at least another year at this rate

Loot drop rates seem to be based on trading with other players, but there is no way to do so. End game activities were already lacking, and they have now been reduced even further. So, things now take longer, reward less, and appear to have but a single design gial in mind: Delay everything so that Activision can artificially inflate their aytime metrics. Instead of accomplishing this by making an enjoyable game that people want to play, they make every activity take longer and actively hotfix anything that people find to make the game enjoyable. They actually increased the channel time to leave a dungeon when it is finished...

    To quote an almost perfect synopsis of the most recent patch:

    "This is an ACTION RPG with slow paced action. It's a LOOT hunter with boring loot. This is an MMO with no social aspects. A dungeon crawler that feels more like a game of fetch the stones and put them on the pedestals." https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/153hzqg/what_blizzard_doesnt_understand/    … Expand

    I'm surprised, after reading all of these reviews for the PS4 version, that nobody is talking about the issue with the mount, and after searching the interwebs, it seems to ONLY be impacting PS4 players.

    The issue is: When you get onto your mount, you can't go forward. It's like you're running into a wall. You literally cannot move forward. You either have to let go of the joystick, wait for your horse to stop and it'll do a subtle little backstep, and then you can go forward, or, when you mount, immediately go in another direction and then turn back to the direction you wanted to go. Even that doesn't work all the time and mostly you just have to not touch the joystick and wait for your horse to 'settle'.

    Also, it doesn't matter what horse you use, or what armor you have on, or what class you're playing... none of that matters, it happens 100% of the time, no matter what

    This is insanely annoying and frustrating, and completely unnecessary, given that it works fine on PC and PS5, and considering they mastered the whole 'mount/steed' thing in D3. Remember the Crusader? No issues there. Why the hell is this even happening in a newer game?    … Expand

    Early acess 02/06/23 : minor bugs, servers were working pretty well. I progress through the campaign with my friends and it went pretty well.But once we achieved endgame features, there's a lot of bugs.
    Nightmare dungeons : bugged. You can't go in with friends because you will be desynchronised 1 dungeon out of 2.
    Helltide : unplayable with lags. you'll die everytime you take a lag, and you'll lose your components.

    Release date 06/06/23 : lags everytime. Permanent lags, so totally unplayable endgame features

    08/06/23 22h30 GMT+1 : Crash server. Can't play. Only 2 days since release.

    Enough with server problems. There's also class balance problems. Barbarian is Godlike, rogue is too squishy (gets one shotted by almost everything), necromancer has literraly 0 mobility, druid is unkillable, and sorcerer is the only balanced class.

    Let's talk about campaign : Act 1, 2, 3 ,4 and 5 are Star Wars Disney tier. Act 6 is a real masterpiece.
    Campaign boss fights are for retarded ppl. they have 0 mechanics, they just have a ton of hp.
    Only Lilith have a real boss fight. And Elias after the campaign will have a real boss fight too.

    The Artistic Direction is perfect. that's why i give them 1 point.
    Sound Design is good, but Lost Ark is better at it.

    There's a lack of features in the UI. We can't see other player's profile. there's no statistics, can't watch playtime, there's no ladder.
    There's no search bar for items in the stash. Gems take too much space

    And there's a ton of other bugs, like sometimes you can't use any ability or dash. Sometimes the horse's pathfinding will totally bug. Cinematics will sometimes bug when you play with friends, only 1 in the group will the dialogues / cinematics.

    There's no diversity in the bestiary and the dungeon bosses or in the decorations. All monsters are recycled with different color, and they are spread all over the entire map. Dungeons are procedural but you will see always the same monsters in them.
    Dungeon Bosses are catastrophic. Distant / Mage bosses are retarded, they do no damage so you can just burst them with any build.
    Melee Bosses are a nightmare, they run faster than you, have an attack speed higher than the light speed. So you almost can't kite them and if you don't play barbarian, druid or sorcerer frost you'll just instant die.

    I have now put 15 hours into Diablo IV, and I think Diablo III was just more accessible and more fun. I even think    This is the review in progress of a Diablo III veteran. I’m 38 years old, have 5-month old daughter and run my own small company. So, take my comments as the comments of someone who loved Diablo III and doesn’t have much patience for more work/slogging in a video game.

    I have now put 15 hours into Diablo IV, and I think Diablo III was just more accessible and more fun. I even think Diablo III's simplified levelling/character building was better or at least easier to grasp. I thought Diablo III made me feel powerful as I levelled while Diablo IV makes sure I never do, and I frankly don't care for this open world thing. I don't think Diablo IV is a bad game, it's just that my first Diablo game (and therefore my benchmark) is Diablo III, which was faster paced, more lively, and felt like you played as an unstoppable force.

    Diablo IV feels like a dreary slog through a dreary world where you're not powerful, and every fight is a fight for your life. Maybe that's what Blizzard wanted and if so, they nailed it. But I don't enjoy it as much.

    1. The open world "choose your own adventure" is not real choice. In Diablo IV, it looks like I can go anywhere, but I really can't because the story happens where it happens. I liked Diablo III's linear model better. It felt more curated so you got the appropriate challenge for the level you had as it took you through the story.

    2. Side quests are the most time-wasting and boring thing ever. I don’t know why I’m killing 25 skeletons in the woods for some small XP and a little gold. Where are my drops? They’re literally just padding quests that add nothing to the game. If levelling mattered, they might serve more of a purpose.

    3. Diablo IV nails the atmosphere/look of the game, but I cannot hear the darn music. I had to YouTube Diablo IV’s soundtrack just to hear it.

    4. I find that levelling is basically meaningless in Diablo IV because everything scales to your level. As you level your skills get more potent but so do your enemies. I'm yet to get to a point where I feel powerful even though I unlocked all the skills by level 33.

    4.A. I remember in Diablo III when my Wizard got what I call the "Doom Laser" at some point and it was so satisfying to just level a room full of enemies. Not a single skill in Diablo IV does that. None of the skills feel powerful. Even my ultimate only feels good because all my other spells feel so weak. Instead of giving me a genuinely good spell for levelling up, I got spell 1.0, which I now have to upgrade to 5.0 for it to be "good".

    5. Why have level scaling and World tiers? I'm playing solo on WT I and I'm just barely scraping by some strongholds (down to my last health bar with no potions). I find it stressful, not fun. I cannot imagine WT II, III and IV are any fun.

    6. Unfun enemies: not only are there hordes of trash mobs, the bosses just spam bullsh!t attacks. The last stronghold had a boss that froze me all the time. It's not fun to be frozen all the time so the boss can wail on you. It's not "hard" content that I need to overcome. It's just to throttle you by playing punch-for-punch until the boss falls down or I die.

    7. The inventory… In Diablo III you could carry like 100 things - gems were their own slot - and I could play for like 1-2 hours before I had to go back to town to dump loot. In Diablo IV, I cannot make it through one dungeon without having to go back to town to empty my inventory, which holds 30 things including my gems, which is 12 slots, and then go back. It's annoying, it’s just padding.

    8. In Diablo IV, I'm on my first character, Sorcerer, at level 33, still mostly in the Fractured Peaks, and I'm still in Act I of the story, and it's been like 15 hours. It feels like a slog to get anywhere on the map. All I want to do is loot this dungeon and it feels like 20 minutes of walking / slaying un-fun enemies that drop trash loot, or little XP and gold. It feels like padding, like an artificial extension of the game. I don't want to spend 20 minutes walking from place to place - I want the game to get me there naturally like in Diablo III and be rewarded with a cool boss fight or new enemy types or new scenery and then I get a cool story reveal that drives me forward.

    I think I can summarize Diablo IV like the quest where I finally met Inarius (the angel):

    I climbed a whole mountain, in a distant corner of the map, through a blizzard and hundreds of enemies who dropped no good loot and weren’t fun to fight, all the way to Kor Valar just to so Inarius could tell me to f**k off.

    It’s not worth the 15 minutes of grind to do that, and that is the whole game so far. Slog, slog, slog, loading screen, some story tidbit. Rinse. Repeat. Don’t feel powerful just keep fighting for your life, just keep grinding. Diablo III was faster, more fun, with better loot drops and better music and a real power fantasy. Not this drudgery we got in Diablo IV. I'm going back to Diablo III.    … Expand

    Based on the franchise’s history, Diablo IV has large boots to fill, but does an admiral job of meeting this longtime fan’s expectations. Diablo IV maintains the core gameplay that made it popular while combining the best elements of the the previous games. The continuous open world is an improvement over the completely separate acts with an intriguing story that feels more nuanced than the previous entries. All the elements of of a great action RPG are present, most importantly Diablo’s reward loop system where players can spend years playing through new seasons and characters to experiment with different builds and try to collect the best equipment. The gameplay is repetitive and simple but is still a joy to binge play, especially with friends.
