    During the daytime when I play with a friend it's problematic... in that in the past I never needed help to get past bosses - now I do.

    Then later at night, it's a glitchy mess: - bouncing off invisible walls, can't just walk - hitting buttons in battle and nothing happens - in the middle of a fight and NOTHING is changing, but then I'm dead or sometimes everything else is dead -    During the daytime when I play with a friend it's problematic... in that in the past I never needed help to get past bosses - now I do.

    At night it's UNPLAYABLE, and NO it's not my internet connection - this games servers SUCK!

    Only reason it gets a 4 is that usually (Eastern Time USA) daylight hours it's ok, kind of tough with the bosses and VERY miserly with the drops, but OK - not how I remember D3 so fondly    … Expand

    The developers seem intent on draining any sense of "fun" out of the game as they seem to focus on the "semi professional" Diablo obsessives who live and breathe different builds.

    es stellt eine ganz gute Beta da, ber kein fertiges Spiel. Es vergeht nicht ein Tag an dem nicht an dem Spiel rumgefummelt wird und alles zu Tode generft wird. Es ist zäh, langweilig und monoton und das leider schon recht früh im Spiel. Da hilft die gute Grafik auch nicht weiter

    It's an action RPG without much action. 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.

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

    If you thinking of buying on PS 4 don't. The game is not optimized and you'll be lagging half the time. It's unfortunate as the game seems like alotbof fun.

    The patch that killed my love for this game. Knowing the devs are implementing measures to make the game less fun, grindy, and less payoff sealed it for me. Already with season 1 I've seen countless issues. I have no hope for the future of this game.

    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.

    To sum up, this game is **** tier and doesn't deserve your money, let Blizzard sink.    … Expand

    The game is a joke. Released in an extremely unfinished state leading to constant game changes that severely limits and impacts every character you can play giving players no reason to sink 100+ hours into an aarpg.

    Dou essa nota só pelo fato de ter conseguido chegar no nível 100 no modo hardcore em 1 mês. De resto, é tudo ruim.

Há itens irrelevantes, além do passe de batalha que contém 95% de cosméticos que não ajudam em nada durante o gameplay. Começar do zero é como se os devs estivessem rindo enquanto te dão um soco na cara. Não vale 350 reais, nem ferrando. Por isso e por outros motivos que já citei, estou dropando o jogo, e se houvesse uma maneira de devolver o meu dinheiro, eu agradeceria. Dessa vez foi a gota d'água pra mim.… Expand

    I've been waiting so much. I was a fan of D2 and D2-R and even played D3 regularly. I waited. First of all, the game is boring. Secondly, it's hard to play.

I was a fan of D2 and D2-R and even played D3 regularly. I waited. First of all, the game is boring. Secondly, it's hard to play. 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

    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.

    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.
