    Review gets a 1 because I have seen worse. This recent patch however gutted ever class, but the weakest class in the game took the biggest hit. I log in only to find my Sorc doing 80% less damage than before the patch. This isn't playable, and judging at how long it takes them to fix something (if they even fix it), I'll be long done with D4 before that day comes.

    It goes to show that Blizzard does not respect the player's time. It really seems like they did their best to increase the in-game time by dragging the game out just so they can show their stakeholders increased hours played. Oh nelly will this ever backfire on them.    … Expand

    The game is too grindy and the latest update makes progress even slower. 100+ hours to max level when there is no build variety and itemization is very poor. I have a PS5 and I am a casual player. I am about to buy a PC so I can play Last Epoch and PoE2.

    I have no doubt that Diablo 4 is one of the best games of 2026, today it's not this day.

    Blizzard deploys nonsensical patches that break the underlying mechanics of the game and in doing so ensures that it has no long-term playability. Why would anyone invest time in this game if they're just going to casually break whatever you've built to juice some internal KPI with a complete disregard for whether or not it makes the actual game fun to play?

    They've destroyed almost everyones will and motivation (including mine) to play Diablo IV. Patch 1.1 should've existed out of QoL and/or harder content such as torment 5, 6, or above.
    But instead they nerfed the classes into oblivion where as the sorcerer is not even playable anymore.
    Blizzard as a company is out of touch, and has lost complete sense of feel or connection with the playerbase.

The non-stop waves and hordes of enemies isn't fun in the slightest bit. You just mash and click buttons until the vague and mostly indistinguishable moving objects surrounding you stop moving. Then you pick up the largely useless gold and items that don't really help you in any significant way. I was fully kitted out with yellow items top to bottom by level 14. What's even the point of blue items? And really, even the yellow items aren't usually all that special.
    Diablo I and II were insanely fun games. There was a formula that worked so well that people literally played them for years and even decades (D2). DIII was ok-ish but everyone knew D2 was better. How can the developers at Blizzard be so obtuse? Why make moving through the game so mind numbing? Why get rid of the value of gold? Why not make yellow (and orange) items hard to find and worth it when they are? Why make enemy combat an endless, confusing button smash slog? I literally can't tell what most enemies look like or what they're even doing to me. It's just visual noise.
    Why was D2 so much better than D1? Because it was bigger and gave us more characters. Sure there was some pretty cool innovation with the gems and rune system but the basic game play didn't change.
    I feel like D4 is a pretty looking Diablo clone that got all the reasons why Diablo was so fun completely wrong. This kind of misstep would be ok if these games came out every 5 years. But to wait almost 12 years? For this? It's just flat out unacceptable.    … Expand

As a casual gamer, I can't spend hours every day just farming for a RNG chance at getting better loot. I swear I scrap 99% of what is dropping. Also, if you don't use a few meta builds you're experience will be much worse, especially after they nerfed pretty much every aspect forcing you to spend even more time farming loot. I wish I could get my $70 back. They basically made what should have been a free to play game with season battle pass.… Expand

The cost of rebuilding your character to try new things is only possible if you, once again play 10+hours a day and even then is just ridiculous. They had 3 previous games to build off of but decided they wanted to shoot for a more AARPG/MMO style game but then start taking out multiplayer aspects because they decided a small percent of players are leveling too fast and shining a spotlight on the fact they biffed the endgame? So the decision was to make leveling even worse for others so they dont have a chance to get there?

    Lackluster, repetitive, and "open world" in the sense that the game makes you walk forever. This game feels like Blizzard updated the assets on an unfinished Diablo II sequel, and added concepts to the game without understanding how to make them good, and launched it onto unstable servers.

    -Talent tree and entire UI is ugly and convoluted. It's a quest to find your quests.

    - Dumbest people - Not a single person has common sense. Every person who walks into a cellar, or goes down a ladder is inevitably caught by demons and needs to be saved. Sure, my main goes into those cellars, but is also capable of killing his way out.

    If you know the franchise, then chances are you'll get through the main story line, start the next difficulty, and then quickly taper off.

    Here is another "review bomb" according to some streamers.

Before the game even came out, i was very annoyed by yes, A PREDATORY, practice of charging 20 dollars extra for early access with a hardcore race behind it to FOMO    Here is another "review bomb" according to some streamers.

    Overall, I just didn't enjoy much of D4. From the campaign to the end-game, it never felt enjoyable mainly because the gameplay itself just isn't enjoyable.

    Before the game even came out, i was very annoyed by yes, A PREDATORY, practice of charging 20 dollars extra for early access with a hardcore race behind it to FOMO consumers. Anyone who doesn't think this is a scummy, predatory practice is a corporate shill.

    Campaign was extremely easy. I played a Rend Barbarian. The scaling world felt as though as completely side quests, strongholds, or farming dungeons was pretty meaningless as the scaling would just diminish that effort. So I just went straight through the campaign only to be extremely underleveled when fighting Lillith cause apparently that just didnt scale for some reason? I fought her at level 36 or 37, still one shot it because the game is very easy. Overall, the story, voice acting, and graphics were good but it was boring gameplay. I'd give the campaign a 6/10. I dont particularly like campaigns in general. It wasn't the worst, but it wasn't Halo 2 on Legendary.

    The combat is more of the same as the last versions of Diablo and in some ways worse. You only have 6 abilities, 4 of the Barbarians spells are nearly essential lock-ins for buff, then you need one builder and one spender. This is across every build Barb has to offer. You press two buttons with some buffs. One you level up you can almost drop your spender because your shouts generate all your rage but most still keep it just in case. You really can't really afford to take leap, charge, steel grasp or anything fun really. Just buff, build, then spend. Was pretty silly that my D2 Barbarian had more spells to use than my D4 barbarian. I haven't played PoE and quit D3 probably after a month or playing it because the RMAH. However, it is crazy to me that in 23 years, I have less abilities in a game to use that is a ARPG. Combat for me is easily a 1/10, I can't imagine a worse action game then pressing 1 combat ability 95% of the time. This was acceptable 20 years ago, not now.

    The gearing system leaves a lot to be desired, its not terrible so to speak but there are glaring issues. Nearly every build prioritizes Vulnerability, Crit, Crit %, and CDR. Resists are utterly useless. Gems have no use beyond your first 10 royals. Acquiring the gear is best done by doing half of a dungeon then resetting the dungeon. This makes for a very repetitive and unfun game loop of pressing one button for two minutes then reset and do 20s of load screens. I'd give gearing a 5/10.

    The dungeon system was terrible. There are 100s of dungeons to do but you really should only do 2-3 because they are SO far ahead in terms of XP per hour you are wasting your time if you are not. Not to mention, most dungeons are crazy similar in their mechanics (kill all mobs, bring two boxes to holders, etc.) and end bosses of dungeons are pretty lame. Nightmare dungeons were a bit more fun cause the scaling made them more difficult but the rewards just aren't there to justify doing them. I'd give this a 3/10.

    The world content varied greatly. Strongholds were amazing. Statues of Lilith / Renown grind was an insane grind and not very exciting outside Strongholds. World bosses were a complete joke. Side quests were mediocre, not much there. The horse is really bugged and the CD on it was kind of annoying. I'd give the outdoor content a 5/10.

    Overall I give the game a 4/10. In my opinion, the developers really need to address the gameplay first and foremost. Barbarian was extremely boring and only having 6 abilities to use is such a disservice to modern games. If they fixed the vehicle im traversing the world through, doing dungeons and world content would be much more enjoyable. I think the game has a decent base to build off of, but is it worth 70 dollars, not now in my opinion.    … Expand

I didn't know this until after buying D4. Blizzard pumps out flashy games with no substance and puts the Blizzard stamp on it to cash in on nostalgia and utilize predatory in game cash transaction practices. Their games are pure marketing & sales. Look at reviews for any of their games in the last decade. I wish I had.

    The combat feels good and the leveling doesn’t feel too slow. The classes feel different enough. One thing Blizzard still seems to have with the right team and amount of time, IS good game feel. The sounds and the visuals are satisfying and the builds don’t feel one dimensional as Diablo 3 did and you actually can have versatile subtypes within each class like how a druid can build to focus on being a werebear tank, a wind/lightning mage, an animal whisperer, or a combination of it all. Similar with other classes too how sorcerers can have different elemental specializations and mix and match with beautiful and bright effects and punchy sounds.

    The story seems to be one of those you either love it or you hate it.

    It’s also a better sequel to Diablo 3 than Overwatch 2 was to Overwatch 1(which blizzard released as basically the same game lol).

    Diablo IV does feel different enough and strikes a good combination of simple and complex.

    And it’s an ARPG. You play it for the fun explosions and effects and getting better and better loot which this satisfies pretty well.

    Sadly, as of launch, there isn’t MUCH to do in the endgame when you hit the later/max levels, but they have plans for seasons and expansions to add more. The leveling process and the classes themselves are fun though and you’ll get a ton of enjoyment out of it.

    Edit: As of the Season 1 patch I can’t in good conscience recommend this game anymore. Anything that was bad is doubled down and anything that was remotely fun is nerfed. Leveling was slowed down, classes already gutted, itemization not addressed, endgame activities heavily nerfed.

    Maybe I’ll edit this if they fix it but maybe I won’t bother like they don’t seem to bother with this game.    … Expand

The graphics are a joke. The physics are beyond horrible. The animations are laughable. The level design is terrible. The combat is boring and repetitive. It's too sluggish and even worse than Immortal. No game with an isometric view should be costing $70. When I pay $70, I expect top-notch AAA quality. The fact that Blizzard makes so much money and still make shovelware proves how greedy and lazy they are. That's pathetic and far worse than EA. I expect these developers to work much harder at the outrageous price of $70.

    Truth be told, I don't even have much of a problem with non-P2W microtransactions, because I have to accept reality that AAA online PvP multiplayer on Playstation will basically only happen if MTX is included. You can thank greedy and lazy "story-driven" developers like Sony Santa Monica for that, because they save so much money by giving us half of the game at full price, and still make bank. So of course, developers that give us the full game are going to monetize the online portion for that extra work. My problem is that I already spent $70 on this mobile game that isn't even close to a true AAA experience, and the greedy developers still have the audacity to add MTX. Seeing how this is an online only mobile game with MTX, it should've been free-to-play. This outrageous greed makes EA and Take-Two look like saints in comparison. At least they have full priced games with actual AAA quality. Battlefront 2 or GTA V alone has better quality than the entire Blizzard catalogue combined. That's embarrassing.

    As I already mentioned, this game is online only. So once the developers decide to shut down the servers, this game will end up in the trash can. Charging $70 for a game with no offline modes is a cash grab. The multiplayer is trash. Online is unstable. Blizzard proves once again they aren't capable of making a game with AAA quality. Nothing but free-to-play quality games from these lazy and greedy developers. Blizzard fans ranting over MTX is very ironic. If you're one of those gamers that spent $70+ on WoW, then you have no right to speak against MTX, because you're the reason why they exist in the first place. If a 2004 shovelware can get hundreds upon thousands of dollars from just one person, what do you think the rest of the studios will do? Exactly, how hypocritical. I don't recommend this game at all, unless you want to support laziness.    … Expand

    Diablo IV, sorry Diablo Immortal 2 is a product with little creativity that has been stripped of the key elements characteristic of hack and slash and action RPG games.

    The itemization and crafting system have been taken from the mobile game, which means it is not satisfying for players expecting a deeper and more elaborate experience.

    ITs a huge map, but its basically all the same. Its so generic. All races are resource buildup usage.
    The bosses have such little personality, and the fights are booring. Usually Blizzard has good hang of movement, but its like there is delay in movements, its not fluent at all. The fact that mobs level up as you do, takes away all feeling of progress except for the level number. There is no feeling of getting huge boosts in power. Weapons are not fun to find, since everything is useless once you level up and find next level gear. Honestly not untill you are level 100 the search for best in slow weapons beginss for real. Crafting is a light version of NIOH, simple.
    IT just feels like running up a hill forever.
    Endgame is literally nonexistent, with only 1 boss, which they now removed.
    The builds are locked down by blizzard, almost no freedoom for creation.
    Honestly if you played POE this seem like its made by amateurs or an indy company.
    NO imagination at all. Nothing new.
    There is no HEART in the game, no mood. Yet again a wasted opportunity from a once proud gamecompany.
    I will stick to companies who actually put their entire soul into their game instead, like Fromsoftware especially or TeamNinja.

    Predatory monetizating tactics with buying the expensive editions to beta test and participate in the hardcore first to 100 challenge. Skins with a price of 1/3 of the base game and so on.

    I love this game. It's been such a long time coming, and the first 35 or so levels are an absolute joy to progress through. However, after that, it becomes dull, stretched out and repetitive. The game focuses on tedium as opposed to content to entice players to continue and purchase cosmetics. Once I complete the story, I likely will not return for another few seasons.

    Diablo installments have not hit the major niche of gameplay, gore, slash and loot of the genre. It took a failed mobile game for Blizzard to show us they haven't forgotten a stagnant player base with what looks and feels once again like one of their main franchises. Totally recommended.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion Diablo 4 is the best Diablo has ever been. Easily. It’s the best isometric ARPG you can find. Easily. The latest installment has improved on the franchise in every way possible. Music is phenomenal. Graphics are perfect. Attention to detail is on another level. The massive map and locations are gorgeous. Challenges. Collectibles. So many dungeons. Perfect balance between Diablo 1 and 2. A million things to do. Intriguing story with twists I didn’t see coming. Beautiful armor and weapon design. Aspects are the new cube. Fun builds and powers and playable characters. New memorable characters, not many, but there are a few. Fun grind and end-game and loot system. New features. There are a million things I could say about this game but it would take all day. It is everything I wanted Diablo 4 to be minus some politics and the overpriced microtransaction store. I am hooked. The only reason I give it a 9 instead of a 10 is literally because of one thing, and one thing only……politics. Not only should politics stay out of games entirely, (games are a place to escape reality)… they managed to incorporate lots of it in Diablo 4. You can tell Blizzard was afraid to be called sexists because I am not even kidding when I say that at LEAST 80%-85% of the characters in this game are women. I’m not including the randoms you massacre while you’re exploring, I’m talking about side characters, main characters, characters the leave behind notes for you to listen to. It’s like when Malthael destroyed 50% of the human population 50 years ago (reaper of souls expansion in Diablo 3), he killed all of the men. There are more of your typical politics and propaganda that is in the game to make sure the cry babies don’t go on social media and do what they do best, cry. But I’m sure you can use your imagination. I do realize that there are politics and propaganda in basically everything these days but some games it’s hard to ignore it because sometimes it is overdone. Overall, I give it a solid 9. Absolute masterpiece. Must play. You have no idea what you’re missing out on.… Expand

While it may not be without its flaws, the game manages to capture the essence of the Diablo universe and offers a satisfying journey for both new and returning players. Here's why Diablo 4 deserves recognition for its notable improvements andDiablo 4, the highly anticipated installment in the iconic franchise, delivers a solid experience that shows promise for the future of the series. While it may not be without its flaws, the game manages to capture the essence of the Diablo universe and offers a satisfying journey for both new and returning players. Here's why Diablo 4 deserves recognition for its notable improvements and potential to evolve.

    One of the standout aspects of Diablo 4 is its dark and atmospheric world. The game's visuals are impressive, featuring detailed environments that effectively convey the foreboding nature of Sanctuary. From eerie forests to desolate wastelands, each location feels distinct and adds depth to the overall experience. The attention to detail in the art design and atmospheric effects creates a moody ambiance that immerses players in the grim and treacherous world.

    Combat in Diablo 4 is engaging and enjoyable, particularly for those who revel in hack-and-slash gameplay. The fluid animations and impactful abilities make every encounter thrilling, as you unleash devastating attacks against hordes of demons. The variety of character classes provides different playstyles to suit individual preferences, offering options for both close-quarters combat and long-range spellcasting. Although combat mechanics may not introduce groundbreaking innovations, they do stay true to the satisfying and addictive core gameplay that fans have come to expect.

    Diablo 4 features an open-world design that encourages exploration and discovery. The vast landscapes are filled with dungeons, side quests, and hidden treasures, making each journey off the beaten path feel rewarding. While the open-world aspect is a departure from the linear structure of previous Diablo games, it offers a sense of freedom and adventure that breathes new life into the series. The day-night cycle and dynamic weather system add further immersion, creating a living world that evolves as you progress.

    The narrative in Diablo 4 aims to delve deeper into the lore of the franchise, and while it may not be groundbreaking, it does provide an intriguing backdrop for your adventures. The storytelling is serviceable, with memorable characters and cinematic cutscenes that drive the plot forward. However, the pacing occasionally feels uneven, and the narrative fails to reach the same heights as some of its predecessors. Nonetheless, the story provides a solid foundation that sets the stage for potential expansions and future content.

    Multiplayer remains a core element of the Diablo experience, and Diablo 4 embraces cooperative gameplay with open arms. Joining forces with friends or other players online enhances the fun, as you embark on epic quests together or engage in challenging group activities. The multiplayer aspect fosters a sense of camaraderie and adds longevity to the game, ensuring that the Diablo community can continue to thrive. However, Blizzard's decision to implement an always-online requirement for Diablo 4 is somewhat of a drawback that sometimes interferes and hampers the overall enjoyment of the game.

    While Diablo 4 has its share of strengths, it's important to acknowledge that the game is still a work in progress. Some areas, such as itemization, endgame content, inventory management and UI customization could benefit from further refinement and expansion. Additionally, occasional technical issues and balance concerns may arise, impacting the overall experience. However, Blizzard's commitment to ongoing updates and improvements gives hope for the game's future.

    In summary, Diablo 4 may not be a flawless masterpiece, but it presents a solid foundation upon which the franchise can build. With its captivating world, satisfying combat, open-world exploration, and multiplayer focus, the game offers an enjoyable experience that holds promise for the Diablo series. As updates and expansions continue to shape the game, Diablo 4 has the potential to grow into an exceptional addition to the franchise.    … Expand

    Over 100 hours played since early access, lvl 80 character by the time of writing.

    It's an arpg, not a regular rpg. The game is meant to be grindy and repetitive. If grind in arpg bothers you then this genre is not for you.    … Expand

    Diablo 4 is an exceptional addition to the acclaimed Diablo franchise, a game that seamlessly blends dark fantasy, intense action, and addictive gameplay. With its immersive world, captivating storyline, and improved mechanics, Diablo 4 sets a new standard for the action role-playing genre.

    The game is very good, its quests are original and interesting, the game has had its failures with the servers and the silver coins. but independently it is very fun, and its graphics are excellent, a whole adventure taken care of in all its details. You just need to add more classes but that can be done in the DLC

    I have to admit I was very hesitant about this game after Blizzards terrible recent track record of mediocre or right out terrible releases.
    But the game is good. Very good even. It is a very well thought-out blend between D2 and D3.
    The skill system is back, as is the paragorn board. There is a cap on Skills however, 58 skill points "only" and only 6 active skill slots.

    The skill system is back, as is the paragorn board. There is a cap on Skills however, 58 skill points "only" and only 6 active skill slots. As a D2 player, this sounds limiting, but then again we had mostly 1 or 2 beefed up skills in D2 we used solely all the time to level 99, so in that regard D4 actually improves on with limited, but sensible choice.

    The paragorn board just reinforces the above, where you can further define your build with sensible stat improvements while also having to decide which capstones you want to go for. This together with full respec options allows for a very well thought out character progression system that encourages thinking through your build while allowing constant small or big adjustments.

    The item system is great as always, although in the beginning the affixes felt a bit too samey. But the imprint/aspect system, where you can create your own legendaries with stats that are useful for your chosen skillset is right out fantastic while not trivializing finding new items.

    The shared world sounded very problematic to me - but it wasn't. As a complete solo player I have to admit that it felt very fresh and cool seeing other randos appearing, sometimes helping, and going along again afterwards. It made the world feel full and lively. Respawning monsters are a bit weird but understandble for such a system and overall this added a lot of fun to the experience.
    Downside though is that it means no mods, ever. Which sucks balls but was unfortunately expected.

    On the other hand I have to compliment Blizzard for how polished the release actually is. Very few bugs, none gamebreaking for me and the QoL features, the game design, the story and the progression all feel very well thought out and complete.
    If you like looters and can forgive some less complex mechanics like Path offers, then D4 is very likely appealing to you. I played it now since the 2nd (early access) and I regretted none of the hours in it at all. And my Necro (what else?) already is level 60, so there's that.

    So fun game play, easy skill system, micro transactions are only cosmetic and don't effect game play at all. Endgame barbarian here, only complaint would be the nerf to barbs basically right out the gate.

    Again I must point out any micro transactions are purely cosmetic, they in no way effect gameplay.

    Just finished the campaign. I’ve never played a diablo before and I loved it, excited for the expansions and to keep leveling up, surprised the fanboys hate it so much. The campaign on world tier 2 was extremely fun and the exact perfect level of difficulty. The amount of times I beat a boss with little health and no pots left is absolutely crazy.

    People trying to degen play this like streamers and youtubers, whos job is speedrun the game to produce content, and complaining the game as nothing to do? The endgame is farming for gear? What did you expect from an ARPG? Diablo as plenty to do and various ways after you reach level 50 and or finish the campaign for you to progress your character.

    Servers where down for about 1 hour 8 of june, and this delusional people, who dont even have the game, so they are playing through twitch streamers, came here and bombed the game. What a sad life you must have to deliberately do this.

    This game is a solid 8/10, good story overhall, great combat, great graphics, well optimized, classes feel fun to play, various ways to farm gear, diferent types of end game.

    Now there are many things that could be improved:
    - Stash needs rework and the ability to search
    - Implement gem only bag
    - Builds feel to "pre built" little room for creativity
    - World bosses could be more challenging

    70$ game, if you value your time at 1$ per hour, you get your money's worth and even more.

    When season launches, there will be a battle pass with free and premium tiers. It's not mandatory to progress your character nor does it award items nor power for your character, mainly cosmetics and currency.    … Expand

    I can't wait to play more on my days off. I have never left a review before but I felt like I had to because of all of the review bombing going on for basically no reason. In all honesty if you enjoyed Diablo II or Diablo III then I recommend Diablo IV.

    Graphics/Combat/Content everything is just there and this is just the starting foundation they can only go up from here. They have said we will be recieving seasons every 3 months with more content then ever before. Two expansions are already being worked on i forsee a bright future for D4.

    This game is a solid 8/10 now but if you include that this is only a foundation and will have so much more added to it i will rate it a 11/10 easy. Shocking that there is zero p2w in the game as well.    … Expand

I don't have a log of the hours that I spent on Diablo 2, but given that I played it consistently for five years, and then on and off for the following fifteen years, I'm willing to bet its well over a thousand hours. Similarly, I invested hundreds upon hundreds of hours into Diablo 3 across multiple platforms. In addition to those, IThis is a review from a long time fan of the series. I don't have a log of the hours that I spent on Diablo 2, but given that I played it consistently for five years, and then on and off for the following fifteen years, I'm willing to bet its well over a thousand hours. Similarly, I invested hundreds upon hundreds of hours into Diablo 3 across multiple platforms. In addition to those, I messed around with several of the Diablo clones over the years - Path of Exile, Torchlight, Titan Quest, among many others. Needless to say, I was beyond excited for Diablo 4. I purchased it on PC and on PS5 to do couch coop with my wife.

    I am a Diablo 2 purist, no matter what the series does, I think that is a timeless formula, so I am always a little rough to accept change in the series, even if it takes it in the right direction. Diablo 4 really takes the series to new heights while keeping the same core dungeon crawling, loot hunting, monster slaying concepts. The open world feels very appropriate for the Diablo series without steering off into other MMORPG territories. It keeps the same spirit of the series but it makes the world feel so much more alive. It is difficult to put into words but it is something that you absolutely have to experience for yourself. The world itself is static which is completely new for the series, but all of the dungeons are procedurally generated like you would expect, and it executes it very well. Blizzard made everything feel much deeper than ever before, and they executed it perfectly. I feel almost as if Diablo 3 tried to add this layer of depth, but they needed to test their foundation over a decade to make it work this fluidly. I also like the connectivity with other players - you'll find them in town, you'll randomly come across other players doing an event that you'll link up with for 5 minutes and head your separate ways. It's very nonintrusive and totally adds to the experience.

    The character skills development, and overall depth to the gameplay is all there - the more you play, the more you realize how complex the character building really is. Once you think you have it under control, it just adds more and more depth and complexity to it. Its the most fleshed out Diablo experience without a doubt. The great part about it is that you can play it how you wish. The complexity is there if you really want to get sweaty with the game, but there is so much content that even casual players can fully immerse themselves with as much as they feel comfortable with. I really enjoyed playing this with my wife because she largely does not play any videogames, but I managed to hook her with Diablo 3 many years ago. Its complex enough for me to be able to really get into the stats and builds, but straight forward enough where she can create and customize her character on a far more casual level, yet we can play on the same couch and love it the same.

    The graphics are fantastic, although sometimes the textures look a little too shiny and wet, and some of the character models in the cutscenes look like clay and a bit out of place, but overall the graphics are fantastic. The music is amazing and very well composed, or perfectly ambient. The story overall is excellent for a Diablo game, but the world building and lore is where its at. There is a ton to dig into if you are wanting to learn more about the world of Diablo, something that the series was always lacking. Most importantly, the world has that gothic art style that was present in Diablo 2, and not the oddly colorful art style of Diablo 3.

    They also greatly improved the couch coop for this game. You can each manage menus at the same time, which I cannot express how big of a game changer this.

    Overall, nobody does ARPGs better than Diablo. Nobody. This feels like all of the growth that Diablo 3 experienced and all of their trials and errors are fully realized into this game. I'm still a Diablo 2 purist, they did everything perfect with that game. But if I want to play Diablo 2, I'll play Diablo 2. This was an absolutely necessary step for the franchise and it makes the growing period from Diablo 3 completely worth it.    … Expand

    This game has a lot of promise, but I am truly amazed by how far downhill this game has gone in just the month since its release. The developers continue to implement unfathomable changes that seemingly serve no apparent purpose other than to reduce or eliminate aspects of the game that the players considered to be the most enjoyable. I find it all to be incredibly confusing.

    There's a fair bit to like about Diablo IV — best-in-class sound design, intriguing character classes, fantastic graphics and occasionally addictive gameplay all feel like the series in its prime. However, even the best parts are let down by an undercurrent of frustrating design choices: the cynical inclusion of a Battle Pass, a bloated open world, repetitive mission structure and progression that too often feels meaningless cast a long shadow that let the latest Diablo title down. Future Seasons may refine what's here, but many of its issues sadly feel baked into the core experience. All but the most die-hard fans may wish to wait for a substantial sale on this one.

    Diablo is back, and taking no prisoners. The top-quality, lengthy campaign will be enough for some, while the endgame should prove a welcome obsession for others. [Issue#30, p.84]
