    As a single player game to make the campaign and enjoy the story is a great game, however that is not the main goal of the game and what was designed for.
    I was designed with multiplayer, character building and progressing and dungeon crawling for loot in mind and at that if fails miserably compared with the past blizzard diablo games.
    A shame really !

    Played every Diablo game, this was by far the weakest game.

    It's weird but the game feels unfinished, as if 60% of content is missing, I can't really tell why it is but it feels that way no doubt. The price tag is unreasonable for a game that has so little to offer. The game has gotten too repetitive and stale after 40 hours of play, the social aspect of the game is non-existent -    Played every Diablo game, this was by far the weakest game.

    The game has gotten too repetitive and stale after 40 hours of play, the social aspect of the game is non-existent - you have to rely on Discord to find people who are willing to do same things as you do.

    Graphics are alright, tho I've never played Diablo for graphics and I view graphics as secondary, less important aspect of any game. The gameplay is all that matters.

    The music is alright, no score stood out like Tristram theme. Kinda crazy everyone knows Tristram theme up to this day.

    The thing that made me laugh out loud is ridiculous amount of work they've put into cash shop fortune teller lady, it really shows where Blizzard set their priorities.

    Feel bad for the people who want exclusively single player experience, there is no offline mode for D4. It's like we're evolving, but backwards.

    Anyhow, this was the last time Blizzard saw my money, I can't believe the game title tricked me into believing this somehow would be better than D3 or D2, it turned out quite the opposite.    … Expand

    Just as many others have already said - The game is pretty but also soulless and boring. The non-stop waves and hordes of enemies isn't fun in the slightest bit.

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

    I dunno, they need to fix this personally I uninstalled this morning, reinstalled POE for the next week until Remnant 2 comes out then I might consider coming back once all of this is fixed but you took a game that was decently fun on launch and turned it into a boring slog with the last update.

    So this game cost me like 100!!! which is insane. Yes its a big game and ill probably play for over 60hrs but that doesnt justify 100! or day 1 micros which add up to over 350!!! and the battle pass at another ...who knows!!! Its just greedy. And anti consumer. And no game except maybe the witcher 3 would be worth this insanity.

    So if the game didnt have day 1 removed content sold back to us then I would award it an easy 7 or 8...maybe higher once the many bugs are fixed. But right now and for evermore as these micros get worse and worse... I have to say wait for a deep sale or fee2play or plus etc. And its not ok just say dont buy it as if it wasnt for the gulf between rich and poor where there are enough whales to make games with these business models possible then the rest of us average people would not have to put up with this...as we didnt for the last 30 years.

    Maybe buy the disc and resell it etc. Do not reward the greedy devs as I didnt get a pay rise to afford this new tier of 100 gaming and you prob didnt either so we shouldnt encourage it with 10/10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very average ARPG at best, and that's setting aside the Activision-Blizzard pricing on the game shop (for a game that cost $70 base edition???).

    * Compelling story moments are not often to be found throughout Diablo IV (including side quests).
    * Very pedestrian music, where environment is very hard to notice and boss music is overwhelming.
    * Little variance between mobs.
    * The default zoom-out is way too zoomed in compared to even Diablo III.
    * Seasonal balancing changes that negatively affect those on the Eternal realms (who can't even participate).
    * There is no single-player option, so you can never choose to play offline which leads to...
    * Frequent disconnects and lag, which is devastating for "hardcore" characters and --
    * Even setting aside the DDoS attacks, their servers in general are lacking.
    * Game-play wise, there are so many issues that you should just watch The Act Man's video on YouTube on why D4 is a bad game.

    The only positive I can come up with is that the aesthetic of Diablo IV is a massive improvement over Diablo III's. It was very nice to have a return to form.    … Expand

Early in 3, items were boring, builds were bland, crafting materials used too much space, etc. But after some major rework - items were fun, builds were unique, crafting materials use very little space, etc. And when Diablo 4 launches - why did they make their items boring, their builds bland, their crafting materials use too much space? Why can't they play their own games and try to include the "fun" from them?

Diablo 4 is at it's heart kind of boring. It has all the loot hunting and monster slaying mechanics that the previous entries had, but with very little of the life and soul. The flavor just isn't there, it's dry. I rarely even care about the loot I pick up because most of it isn't usable without restructuring your entire build around a probably temporary piece of gear that doesn't seem to really feel any better. Diablo 4 has taken away the joy of finding a new legendary and replaced with a great deal of "meh". I thought the throwback to a Diablo 2 style skill tree would be great, but they sucked the life out of that as well with punitive rising costs for changing skills, the skill bar is much too small too explore your abilities and experiment. The story is okay, the main character voice actors are excellent, but ultimately no matter how good of a job they did, the ending was anticlimactic and forgettable. I've little doubt they will milk it for DLC before too long, but honestly, why bother? They put in a half effort on the main game, and I've little interest in rewarding their laziness by paying them again to do a little bit better. Blizzard used to be great, and I will always appreciate the work they once did. Maybe if Activation gets their mitts off of Blizzard they will be a gaming company again instead of the soul less corporate entity that their newest game mirrors.

    On a minor side note, I really miss hearing Brian George's Abd al-Hazir monster entries and James Hong's jewelcrafter story telling, little things like that being barely present at all in DIablo 4, the small details like that added up to make a game that felt far less empty. Diablo 3 was far from perfect, but at least it was fun. Diablo 4 just feels grindy and hollow to me.    … Expand

    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.

If they aren’t viable, don’t have them in the game. There is no sense of balance if you’ve made no attempt at balancing. Moreover, once you spec for this specific build, just so that you can play the game, they end up nurfing it forcing you to go back on the Internet and weigh the benefits of another build or you just have to put up with what you’ve worked to gain in the game being erased. There are some mechanics like being able to avoid attacks that I like but they could’ve been done a lot better. Anytime you get into a boss fight. The only real noticeable difference is mechanics where you have to kill side mobs that either make the boss stop doing a special attack or causing the boss to be completely invulnerable. I’m all for boss is having different phases. For this to be a AAA game my expectations were a lot higher than the game delivered on. It’s definitely not worth 70 - $100. I’m sure the game has monetization shop items and stuff where they try to milk you for more money but the game base isn’t worth this amount of money, so I’m not inclined to want to spend even more money on it.

    Game pulls you in quickly and is technically very impressive, however, the level scaling destroys the fun of the game quickly. Leveling up is a debuff, rather than a buff and enemies become stronger. Is it really that bad to fight a dungeon with a friend a little stronger or weaker than you for this? Why would I want a group of wolves to challenge my level 90 character the same way as myGame pulls you in quickly and is technically very impressive, however, the level scaling destroys the fun of the game quickly.

I will stop playing until this system is removed or massively overhauled.… Expand

    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.

    The visuals are probably what excited me the most. The way the game looks and the atmosphere makes me feel like I'm playing the old Diablo again. On steroids and on a quadruple screen TV, but the feeling is still there. [Issue#328]

    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]
