    I was enjoying the game for the most part, despite the fact that Sorcerers seemed to get the short end of the stick. But patch 1.1 nerfed them further into the ground before they even addressed the broken elemental resistances. Very dissapointed.

    If you buy Diablo 4 expecting an ARPG like previous games in the Diablo series, you will be disappointed. There's less action, no depth to character builds, no interesting loot, and enemies level up with you, so you don't even get a sense of becoming stronger as you progress.

    What you get is a uniform, drawn out "Hack & Slash game where Numbers Go Up"

    At launch, the game was a slog at best - player power kept in check by every enemy levelling up alongside you, from start to finish. There is no feeling powerful in this game, even in the starting area. But with Patch 1.1, player power and progression has been significantly gimped even further, to the point where you have to wonder what the motive could possibly be.

    And I think the motive is to cover up the fact that the game lacks any sort of depth or interesting loot whatsoever. Gems are worthless. Uniques are just souped up rares with a random aspect on em, that you can extract. Items don't have any identity beyond arrow up or arrow down. Crafting is basically nonexistent, and choice of skills and character builds has been dumbed down even compared to Diablo 3.

    It's the action RPG without action, without interesting loot, without depth in character builds, and also you'll be running across the entire world - a huge empty map - for fetch quests over and over. Just walking. And you don't get a mount until you beat the main campaign for some reason.

    Also, they're pinging you to check out and preview microtransactions whenever a new one becomes available... each costing upwards of a third of what you paid for the game. Complete insanity.

    On merit of its game systems, it's not worth playing BUT
    Combat and visuals are solid.
    Story, writing and voice acting is solid.
    For those two, I award one point each. If you *really* care about the lore, consider dragging yourself through the campaign once. 2/10    … Expand

    I am a huge fan of the Diablo series. I held out my review until season 1 in hopes that the game would get better. The game has gotten much much worse. I am extremely disappointed that the Diablo 4 team used nostalgia and amazing cinematics to falsely advertise for a game that is just not fun to play. I wont make the mistake of buying another diablo game or product. Extremely saddend.

By no means was my build perfect, but it was feeling like it was coming together.

Between the nonexistent endgame, overuse of grinding mechanics, and finally the first major patch... where they nerfed everything (making it even more grindy).

    Repetitive beyond belief, no group finder for the thousands of dungeons you have to run over and over just to gain xp. Just to have the xp nerfed over and over. Making an already grindy game more grindy and difficult instead of adding more interesting and unique content makes it a very unenjoyable game.

They didn't listen to the things that people were actually asking for such as addressing inventory, gem, and aspect management. One of the games biggest problems is the inability to easily switch between builds easily. They've tried a new approach that makes switching builds super expensive. With diablo 3 you could find super mega awesome gear and switch your build up to suit that gear. Now, in diablo 4, if you find super awesome mega gear you better hope it matches your build unless you want to spend MILLIONS of gold respeccing. It's sad. Basically the goal is the game is to now grind for gear that matches your build instead of being able to explore builds freely.

    Currently there are a ton of gems that you get and you only have 33 slots on your character...that means you'll be going back to are going back to town CONSTANTLY!! It's so annoying, Anywho, everyone's been asking for this to change and for the devs to rework this system to make the game more fun, but instead of listening to the player base and fixing these issues they instead decided to nerf everyone's players across the board, make the game more grindy, absolutely destroyed the 'sorcerer' class, reduced defensive skills across the board making us die more.

I uninstalled last week once I hit 100 and killed Uber Lilith anticipating a reinstall during season 1 to experience lots of new content with the anticipated amazing new patch 1.1.0 now I have no plans to come back to sanctuary and I wish I could get a refund as this felt like this was a $20 Indy game experience as the story was excellent but Indy game short. This is not the experience I /we waited years for I expected Diablo IV to be a game we would play after dinner together for an hour or so for years to come!

Moreover, we paid an exorbitant price for the deluxe edition and can barely enjoy what the game has to offer due to the developer's own errors. The endgame content is tedious, slow-paced, and repetitive.

    But what has been most bothersome so far is the patch 1.1.0a released on July 18th. The developer treats us as if we're naive by applying nerfs to all classes, essentially saying, "let's throw away the 200 hours this person has invested in the game." Is it really plausible that a company the size of Blizzard couldn't foresee that characters would become too powerful? This could have easily been observed in testing, where the developers have access to every item, class, and level to evaluate.

    After years of development, the team couldn't predict this outcome?

    The solution would be so simple: creating new difficulty levels for the game, introducing difficulties V, VI, VII... This would be far better than wasting players' invested time in the game, considering that we invest not only our money but also a significant portion of our leisure time in becoming stronger, not weaker, in the game. Over the past few weeks, it's been clear that world bosses have weak damage and ridiculously low health bars. New difficulty levels were necessary, not decreasing the power of characters. This update has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. With over 250 hours in the game, I no longer feel any desire to play after this update.    … Expand

Such as: 0 stash space, like legitimately you have to sell somewhat good items you might want to use in different builds otherwise you cant keep all of the aspects or uniques. THERE is legitimately no end game content... just dungeon farm and helltides.. oh and an occasional world boss.... AND BOY it get's worse, they just released the patch that absolutely gutted every class and mobs that you used to one shot unironically one shot you. Quality of life in this game is non existent, not a even a simple thing as a search bar. What a way to destroy an already broken game. This has to be one of the worst ways to spend 100$....

    I'm done. Uninstalled and not coming back for season 1. I cannot keep hoping for these idiots, who are directing the game, to wake the **** up. I mean the game is getting worse and worse, when there is a TON of feedback on the game from players everywhere you look, but instead they make the game harder, so you have to spend more time in this **** that they call a game.

    At the end of the day, games are supposed to be FUN and in the current state of the game, Diablo IV is NOT a fun game to play. I hope there is more people who stop playing the game, just so Blizzard get a wake up call and start implementing things that people are actually asking for.

    Not only they are forcing you to start a new character, but they are also forcing you to do the renown again, explore the same map again, do the same side-quests again, and unlock the waypoints again, like **** no. This is absolute BS.

    Division 2 did it way better IMO - they had seasons too, players kept their fully leveled-up characters, could start new ones if they wanted, and they kept adding new stuff to the game, in terms of gear sets, new storylines, and super fun unique weapons to play with.    … Expand

The Paragon system should change the playstyle, but it doesn't give you anything significant, just a bit of damage, and it's pathetic how little it affects the gameplay. As for the item system, it's like it doesn't even exist because there are only 50 unique items that are so underwhelming that school kids could come up with better ones than what we got in this game.

    But in a very un-Diablo move you no longer can go back and re-fight the same bosses you faced in the campaign. Instead the end game is a nightmarish slog through the same bland dungeons or open world gather/kill tasks over and over and over to the point that there is no point.

You can get something that says +50% to lightening resist and when you equip it, your lightening resist goes from ~40% -> ~43%.

    I waited for Season 1 to give this game proper feedback, and my intention was to give it a solid 8/10, but in light of recent changes introduced by the game developers, I changed my mind. A 3/10 is the best I can do.

Endgame is lacking, but it's normal for a game that has been just    I waited for Season 1 to give this game proper feedback, and my intention was to give it a solid 8/10, but in light of recent changes introduced by the game developers, I changed my mind. A 3/10 is the best I can do. 

    Slaughtering hellish legions is fun to the point where you ask yourself "What else is there for me?". Endgame is lacking, but it's normal for a game that has been just released, so people were waiting for new content that was promised by Blizzard. 

    Instead, we got the 1.1 patch that butchered the game for many. 

    The problem is this patch has taken lots of things from the players that made the game fun for them, and given nothing substantial in return. You could have spent a hundred hours building your character to work the way you want using the rules available, and now it's pretty much useless and requires a grand rebuild (respec that cost in-game resources, as well as looting new items). It's not that the game enabled new, better builds you may want to consider - your current character got nerfed to the ground not allowing you to enjoy the content you were enjoying just a day before. One day you log in, play, and have fun, the next you get slaughtered by a random white mob out of nowhere and you don't know what's happening. An awful experience for casual players and not a pleasant one for pros either. 

    What is worse, some classes' design is simply broken. Looking at the Sorc class, there are basically no significant choices you can make, and the only viable playstyle for endgame activities is "Stun-Kill / if doesn't work run around until the next stun is available". It seems Blizz wanted to address this as well, but instead, they've just nerfed this type of build to the ground while offering no alternatives and making the Sorcerer class significantly weaker than all other classes... just two days before the season starts and people were making plans to go for this class. 

    At the same time, none of the quality of life issues people were asking for even before the release were addressed. Stash is a mess, the game is basically a garbage management system where you drop 30 items and spend time thinking if any of them are worth keeping, because if you don't you will run out of storage space really quickly. For a game that was in design for 10 years not being able to provide a solution some games had 10 years ago is scandalous. 

    It seems as if there was a team working on matching digits in Excel who never actually experienced the game and had no idea what they were doing. There seems to be no real plan for how the game should be balanced, and since the release they've been just changing the numbers chaotically in the hope it will somehow get better. Instead of fixing the core of these issues, they just keep adding or subtracting digits. 

    And while I understand they may still address this, these were to be addressed BEFORE the game launch. It doesn't require a degree in rocket science to understand how the game you're designing works, and if you learn it after the game is released and decide to take away what makes the game fun for people, you have to also accept the consequences with the review of your game dropping significantly and players moving away (aka not spending money on your "live service" anymore). 
    Additionally, this is the first Diablo game that took away the option to play single-player from people, which is an absolute nightmare and causes tons of problems.    … Expand

    The devs seem annoyed that people are playing their game. The diablo GM keeps making awkwardly inappropriate jokes in their update streams (which also push their phone game on us).

    The game is getting progressively worse with no way to revert back to the launch version. It may be good in the future, but it's in an unfortunate state today.    … Expand

    Until the game is changed to prioritize the players' interests rather than just wanting to keep players online for longer, I won't play it anymore.

    No company cares less about their playerbase than Blizzard. It is an excellent ad for POE2 though

    Horrific installment to the franchise. The gameplay overall is just awful and I haven't enjoyed it at all. I can't and won't recommend this game to anyone at all. Maybe on a 50% or more sale.

    After the newest patch... The developer don't know their own game. Sadly, it could be a decent game, but not this way.

    Game play seems very off in this game. Comparing it to D2, it is unbelievably shallow and ill-paced. The content then kept touting is a complete lie. There is NO content in this. The campaign is so soooo boring and drawn out. Loot is one of the worst I have seen in a VERY LONG time. End game is just seemingly pointless.

End game is just seemingly pointless. Everything takes so long to accomplish that in the end turns out to be replaced quite soon after or it just isnt that interesting in the first place. Camera is really bad, so zoomed in and just general FOV is horrible. Balancing and stats are completely off and make no sense. 'Strength' attends to your armour and defence???? Always online connectivity for what? It is not social one bit.. and if anything happens server-wise, youre done. It seems a ridiculour way to cover up some issue they have had. The shop system in the game is very drab, nothing worth buying ever and way out of whack with price scaling. The game looks beautiful and the audio is great.. However this just further confirms to me that is the way fo selling it, with the game design team being so out of cohesion and even knowing what they want to do to make this game remotely FUN or INTERESTING. I will be trading this game in. It is more of a chore than a game. Biggest over-hyped trash of the year if not the generation. Strongly AVOID.… Expand

    Story is really good, game progression is pleasant until levels 70s. From level 70s bore doom start. Other builds / characters are really similar in term of what you do in the world. Re playability is not great.
    It would be a solid 6-7 if this game was 40€ but holy f$ we paid it 70! Definitely not worth its price, not at all.

    Wasted potential. Just Diablo 3 with open world and better graphic . Campaign is boring and predictable

    This was you last chance Blizzard. I buy you games from Warcraft 1, Diablo 1, Star Craft 1. I was Blizzy fanboy... Balance at Diablo 4 very bad, all i see what you doing build game for monetization. Games from you not fun. 1 point for you, because i believe you.

    the overwatch 2 of ARPGs. Congratulations on having zero clue how to balance a game and rug pulling your player base.

    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]
