    The game is repetitive and boring. The loot is boring. Mob level scaling to yours every time you level feels like a punishment for playing.

    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.
    The customer should get the product the he wants, not be shoved a mouthfull of horse*hit that they think you deserve.

    MAKE THE GAME FUN FFS!!! Collapse

    Kupujesz grę za 350zł, myślisz warto, bo to Diablo 4, a tu jeb, grasz i bug za bugiem, albo balans tak zrypany, że aż boli. Czasami się zastanawiasz czy to jest gra za 350 zł, czy może EA, które powinno kosztować 100zł. Najbardziej żal mi tej kasy na tą grę. Nie jest warta nawet za 250zł w przecenie, co rzucili pod koniec sierpnia.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow this game is the biggest desapointement of the years... what have you done blizzard ? What hapened to the day you would make game so much fun that you would play for years....

    Diablo 4 is not a finished game it just a cash grab and play with old fan base nostalgie.

    The game is not finish and feel like it a giant copy past....same cave all over the game.... same dialogue..."" we come to purge the evil blablabla"" same mission, event etc..... they did not take the time to finish the game.... and a diablo game with no diablo exept if you plan to buy the 2 expension...... yeah right i should not have pay the full price of the game (it already discounted and they give bonus xp because so many player left and they hope they will comme back) i wont buy any expension or microtransaction cosmetique.....

    This is not the same feeling like the one i got when playing diablo 1 or 2.....

    Also the drop are so bad.... and when a unique drop you will ger 4 or 5 time the same unique armor.....then you upgrads the game difficulty and you will drop again THE SAME **** ARMOR with better stat for the difficulty ???

    Wtf blizzard you did not event took time to created good loot in the game

    Many classe got nerfed to the point they are no fun and you need to play the game meta....

    You dont have the fun to custum your build like diablo 2 like you could make many different kind of caracther

    You have to few magic choice...... what hapen to all the magic option of diablo 2 ???

    Why i cant put my speel on my mouse wheel ???

    Why do i feel weak compare to diablo 2 ???

    Why i cant have a merc like diablo 2 ???

    Why so many resource ???

    You need to farm a milion different stuff....

    Why when you find the butcher (he is hard to find) anf when you kill it HE DONT DROP YOU A 100% CHANCE TO HAVE SOMETHING RELATED TO THE BUTCHER ???? LIKE WHY DUDE I KILL HIM 4 TIME AND ONLY GOT JUNK

    The season is boring the hearth system is boring

    The cinematique are ok but there are to few of them........ why not remove the in game cut scene and make cinematique thst would have be nice....when playing diablo 2 you would alomost watch a movie....now those in game cut scene you just want to skip them.....

    So many different horse and they are all the same....

    The boss are boring and feel the same.....

    The paragon system is bad i preferer to have a skill tree or the old book system of diablo 1

    Blizzard should have took the exemple of baldur gate 3......THEY TOOK TIME TO MAKE A MASSIVE GAME good acting, good story, good voice acting they took time to make good side quest and many different magic etc.... The feeling i got from diablo 4 they rushed a product to make fast money and they are already talking about the 2 expension and diablo 5..... dude forget diablo 5 nobody gona buy that with what you did in diablo 4

    Game looks good and... that is all.

    Story and quest are boring, map is big but offers really low monster density which, if you play mage you are gonna always have low mana lvl. Even with higher lvl you don't see the power of your character. The only difficulty with bosses is their HP. Nothing exciting. Just long, boring story. I had more fun i ln diablo 3 than in this game. Sadness,

HOWEVER, I suffered MASSIVE lag while living in the same county as Blizzard HQ and their servers. While living in LA County I would almost never see my ping below 100ms and I even had a ping of 768 (image: https://tinyurl.com/8ef7p274 ) after the servers went from the initial week of early access to fully live. Once the game was fully live the lag was constant. I know about the inventory programming problem, but I'm talking about having lag with zero other players around as well as while in dungeons. I've moved across country now and my ping usually sits around 100ms with regular stuttering. Now that the game has been out for a while I feel absolutely comfortable in writing Blizzard completely off. I'd sworn off Activision and had hoped they didn't get their claws into Blizzard enough to ruin them, but I was wrong. This is a shell of a game with not much content, near no difficulty compared to ARPG's that are much MUCH better.

    Between the dark UI forcing so many players to activate their battlepasses from their version of the game they bought to the lack of content and the poor programming by these developers who seem amatuer at best, the game is a hard pass and needed another couple of years of development or to be handed off to developers that know how to design ARPG's for the 20th century.

    RIP Blizzard. Maybe Microsoft can resurrect y'all.

    It's clear after patch 1.1 that blizz either has no idea what they're doing or they hate the player base. How else can you explain them making the game significantly worse with each update. Diablo 2 and 3 are a couple of my favorite games ever, but i don't see D4 turning around and becoming great like 3 eventually did.

    Unfortunately Diablo 4 is an unfinished product. In a normal situation this could be salvaged however the game is flawed at the very core.

    In attempting to be more like each of the previous games it fails to perform in various aspects. It's not appealing to D2 players because the itemization and build viability is one of the worst in a arpg to date. Also no trading, smart loot, etc..

    It's not appealing to D3 players because the the gameplay is too slow and clunky, mounting in and off your horse and constant loading screens impede proper gameplay It's not appealing to D Immortal players because there is no public chat nor party finder or any sort of clan activities.

    So it can only appeal to casuals who have never player a Diablo game and even then the cracks re starting to show as newcomers are reticent to restart a character a grind renown every season.

    And with the cracks starting to show in the end game, people feeling 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 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, 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.

    What an absolute joke!

The current team has an absolutely incoherent design philosophy that shows through constant embarrassments in just about every one of their patches. Constant nerfs and bizarre itemization choices make investing time into this game utterly pointless. The best items in the game are so rare that even the sweatlords were constantly asking blizzard if the items were even in the game 3 weeks after launch, which effectively means there are no chase items in the game. 10 million copies sold and you can count on one hand the number of people that have found these items. Literally. Then, the items that were attainable were made absolutely obsolete after the latest patch and had their stats forcefully changed. Zero quality of life changes that players have been begging for and should have been in the game from day 1. This game is run by buffoons and has zero hope of ever sniffing it’s potential. This game is a Disaster. Expand

The suits above, or whoever is in charge of making the game focused on "player engagement/playtime" has ruined the game. Slows its pacing down so you spend more time grinding away at the same content you've already experienced over and over.

    They want you to spend more time leveling, playing through the story, dying over and over again to simple monsters, because forget survivability in a ARPG game, you want glass cannon! So maybe, just maybe, you'll look at the cosmetics shop and buy something because you're that bored, so its worth it for them in the end.

    They don't respect your time as a gamer, you shouldn't have to respect their game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only fun aspect of D4 was to level Up to 100. The END game is so terrible boring and unrewarding. Everything with this game is made Up of bad RNG mechanics. You dont get any satisfaction by grinding higher tiers in NM Dungeons, you just get random bullcraps. Dont even get me started with the helltide events. You get random stuffs that you need to look out for. So you sit there going through tons of THOUSANDS bullcrap variables , sure you get some obols you can buy RANDOM things. And worst part is that you cant even create specific dungeon Keys for your favourite Dungeons, it ALSO has to be random garbage. There isnt anything in this game that isnt lottery based , except that you can pick which lottery you wanna spend your time with. And Blizzard is purely doing what they are known for, nerfing Classes to obliteration and dosnt bat THE eyes when they see other Classes MELTING uber Lilith under 90 stupid seconds. 1: How about rewarding 1 item that your character actually could use after you finish a high end dungeon so that you actually feel rewarded. 2 : Make players to be able to PICK the exact enchants they want, and lets US atleast enchant 2 attributes. Not just 1. 3 : Let the players Craft the exact NM dungeon key they want to farm. Keep the affixes random .

    4 : Helltides chest/mob buff didnt work so Up it again. 5 : Nerf all classes to barbarians level so that they All Must fight a 7 minute fight. And they have to use 1 META BUILD and there is no way around that.

    Content made more challenging, on top of stripping player power.

    Hell tides reduced drop rates on embers to trash and increased the only chest worth farmings cost by 50%

    Reduced or removed over land drops.


    The patch notes literally should read, we want to make this as painful and time consuming as possible and we're going to give you NOTHING to make it worth that challange we just want to artificially increase the time it takes to reach end game.


    They simply could have scaled the endgame to make it more challenging but instead they want to turn a game meant to be for entertainment into a grind on par with using a giant cheese grater as a slippinslide.

That’s Blizzard. And EA. Honestly, Diablo 4 has been a disaster since it’s release. It’s only redeemable quality was it’s campaign storyline. Beyond that it’s repetitive and a miserable grind. To add insult to injury, the devs continue to shoot themselves in the feet by making the game less and less enjoyable for it’s players. Every time a strategy or dungeon or item/combo is found to work well, the devs nerf it. INSTANTLY. All because the devs want the game to be more “challenging”. Pfft. There are plenty of ways to do that without sucking the fun out of something and requiring an addition couple hundred hours of grinding to get to the same point. Furthermore, when the devs get together to talk about the game, they say they’re going to address player concerns then blatantly do the opposite in their “campfire chats”. Locked comments of course.

    Regardless, the point here is, if you haven’t bought Diablo 4 yet and you’re wondering if you should? Don’t. The same $60 USD could be spent on plenty of other games that are already in better conditions AND have an even brighter future ahead of them.

The community aspect is incredibly un-engaging, and at no point do I feel like I'm part of a teeming world with other real people trying to excel at the game. I consistently wonder why I'm playing Diablo 4 when I'm playing Diablo 4.

    I'm not really sure what the fix is here- maybe adding another tab for ability slots- it could add life and variety into the game, or diversifying the bosses and creating different types of missions, or community engagement like raid-style, team-requiring quests.

    As it stands, I spent $100 and had fun for a couple of days. Not the worst use of $100 in my life, but surely not the best.

    Necromancer. Barbarian. Rogue. Sorceress. Druid. Long ago, the five classes lived together in harmony, each player honing their abilities, perfecting their strategies, and reveling in the thrill of Diablo 4. Then, everything changed when Blizzard launched Patch 1.1.

    A world of versatility and power was suddenly replaced with stifling constraints. The once robust Necromancers, Barbarians, Rogues, Sorceresses, and Druids faced crippling nerfs that stripped them of their former glory.

    No relief came from the enchantment front either. The mysterious and potent art stayed as costly as ever, draining resources without a hint of mercy. The fiery Helltides, once swift as the wind, now languished at a snail's pace, mocking the determined players with their sluggish currents.

    The art of Boosting, once a glorious race to the top, was crushed under the weight of patch 1.1, now resembling an uphill battle in waist-deep snow. The once diverse gameplay was corralled into Nightmare dungeons, where other challenges were reduced to mere whispers in the wind.

    Experience bonuses that were once the spoils of defeating mighty adversaries became mere crumbs, a meager 10% of their former glory. The sensation of triumphant victory against higher-level beasts was replaced with a hollow echo of what once was.

    The essence of combat, the critical strikes and vulnerability damage, faced the wrath of the patch as well. Slashed by 17% and 40% respectively, they further dimmed the once blinding brilliance of the game's weapons.

    Diablo 4 was not a sprint; it was a marathon. But with the arrival of Patch 1.1, the marathon had turned into an endless crawl through a desert of nerfs, each oasis of fun seemingly further away than the last.

    But there was no all-powerful Avatar, no master of all classes to rise and restore balance. Instead, a call to arms echoed amongst the players: It's time to speak up, to say 'enough is enough.' It wasn't about persevering silently or accepting the nerfed world; it was about making their voices heard, about standing up for the game they loved. Because when it comes to the games we play, the hope is not just something we give ourselves. It's something we demand from those who hold the reins. This is the true essence of player pow

Not by giving you more content, but by stretching out already unfinished content and introducing patch notes that literally take out parts of the game people universally loved and introducing time wasting mechanics instead. It seems clear that blizzard rushed this beta version out early and then got way too confident with the great reviews of people who played the great first 10-20 hours of the game. Then the game that was advertised to us turned out to be unfinished and redoing the same side quests each season and losing your progress was pitched as the exciting seasonal model. Blizzard was really close to nailing this one, turns out it was designed to get you to play long enough that your refund was no longer eligible and that's it.

    Edited to lower score after the laughable patch notes where they ignored all player feedback. I won't be buying blizzard ever again and this silly review is the most I can ever do since they denied my refund requests. (I bought platinum and they even lied and said I bought it past the time for a refund, a lie and a cash grab)

    I've never been this upset with a game developer and can only warn others not to buy until they fix their game.

    Gameplay feels very isolated. A 'multiplayer' game that has no features to let players look for party. There isn't even a general chat channel or any social features. Clans serve as nothing more than just a chat channel. Other than occasionally running into people in the open world, it's still very much a solo game.

    Further more, it is clear they shipped an incomplete beta version looking at the numerous technical and gameplay issues and missing features that the devs say will come in a few months.

    There's a persistent memory leak issue present since launch affecting even top end rigs that causes stutters that gets progressively worse as you play.

    Content wise, mid and end-game is completely sparse. To artificially prolong the game's playability, they are intending to drip feed content slowly. In the mean time, to fix the lack of content, they are nerfing everything to slow down progress.

    Just like Diablo 3, Diablo IV may become a decent game, but it'll take a few years for the devs to work on the game.

I feel weak, I still get one shot in nightmare dungeons. Items do not feel exciting and I am usually addicted to games like this. Dungeons have ZERO appeal. Feels like a chore and not a game, and I quit Lost Ark for those same reasons.

    In D3 the items determined your build and you could easily respec abilities and paragon points. In D4, everything is backwards. The stash is too small, the dungeons are slow and tedious. Objectives and bosses are repetitive and awful. There is no party system to easily group up with strangers for adventure mode, clans are useless, not enough bosses and content for 50+. The visuals for the main story were good, but parts of the plot felt so weak. Side quests give zero xp. Overall a solid 2/5 for me.

    Also PLEASE fix the golbins so they are exciting like D3 and drop good loot, portals, different types etc. Very sad. :( I want exciting loot that drops and I can just wear and easily reroll stats without wasting all my money. I don't want to stare at stats and spend so much time crafting with aspects that are lame anyway. Cube was much better.

    1. All of the Events, skills and playstyles are just reskinned from Diablo 3.

    2. The entire games design is based around being "annoying" not "difficult"

    3. Everything is meant to slow you down, not speed you up. This is antithetical to ARPG design.

    4. Half or more of the information on skills, abilities and items are bugged or simply do not do what they say.

    5. It's more repetitive than Diablo immortal. The entire arc of the game revolves around the same two things. Dungeons and World Events. Even half your quests are just generic dungeon crawls with uninspired layouts and boss mechanics.

However the decrease in experience, world tier hard level caps, reduction of the most popular affixes, and nerfs to helltides have done nothing but make the game more time consuming and less fun. I went from utter excitement for season 1 to finding a new game to spend my time on. Not sure who is running the ship at blizzard in terms of balance but they need to revisit that team composition and lead 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]
