    Im a big fan of diablo 3 so I guess with d4 being more like 1 and 2 (grittier) im not the best judge but its not the excellent story or the awesome graphics or the brilliant sound and music which I take issue with. Its the microtransactions.

    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

I’ve also played various other ARPGs, along with a variety of MMOs, FPS, RTS games, etc. I run a popular network of community game servers. The point is that I have experience gaming.

    The good:

    - nice graphics, smooth combat, decent sound design, okay music
    - has that “blizzard polish” you expect when it comes to presentation

    The bad:

    - massive open world that requires lots of pointless meandering with very few enemies and/or points of interest; towns are large and require lots of walking just to reach NPCs and waypoints; it is just disrespectful to the player’s time
    - despite being required to play online, there is literally no social aspect. nobody uses the chats, very few people are in towns.
    - the character building and looting feels very much like somebody who doesn’t know ARPGs designed it
    - storyline is a bore; those that say otherwise might need to crack open a book, watch a movie, or listen to a John Prine album
    - absolutely lacks LFG, search, party finder, modern inventory management
    - plays like a bad ARPG or bad MMO - it has none of the good qualities of either genre
    speaking of MMO, it is an immersion breaking experience to see other players when you aren’t expecting them

    Commentary:

    None of the above is even nitpicking the small details that really need addressing either; it’s not worth the time to even write it out. I hope this review will help those trying to make an informed decision.

    The “official” reviews are all paid marketing campaigns.

    TL;DR
    Once you get past the makeup, expensive hair + fingernails, and Gucci handbag, there is an immature, soulless product with a poor taste in music, demands a sugar daddy, and doesn’t know how to wash dishes.    … Expand

    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

    A game with mmo touch, but in the game you are almost never someone.

    The game costs around ps5 79.-Euro . In addition, you can then pay battlepass.

    One is still ripped off with an ingame store....

    So buy a game and have the feeling to play a f2p game and be ripped off as well.

    Stop using the excuse that this is being “review bombed”. This is real frustration and burnout from online only micro transaction games. I paid $70 to play single player. The forced online is to tempt you to want to show off vanity gear to other players, making you purchase. DON’T DO IT.

    - cash shop with absurd prices in an already full-price game
    -contrary to crap IGN is spouting, there is absolutely no endgame at all
    - this is touted as a 'live-service'. Well, live services are usually free to play and receive a plethora of free updates, such as fortnite, LoL, Dota2, CSGO. Take Path of Exile for example: It received more content in a 3-6 month span, than Diablo 3 did in 5 years. The little content Diablo 4 will receive, will be paid DLC.
    - how is it, that a triple-A game developed entirely for console has no proper controller support on PC, when even $3 games on steam can pull that off? PS5 controllers only work with DS4 (or cable, lol)
    - no feature parity, same price - Where is local coop on PC?
    - this is basically an open-world AARPG, which is unfortunate because open world offers absolutely
    zero replayability. Do you really want to finish the story and collect all this garbage all over the map for every season? I couldn't even bring myself to do it on 1 character.
    - the scaling feels incredibly awful. Playing world events with a lvl 50? Well, that level 10 guy next to you could do it solo. Farmed/explored some area? Doesn't matter, everything else is now a couple level higher. There is no sense of progress, all skills feel mediocre: You'll succeed whether you min/max everything or just equip a couple blue items.
    - skills/builds are extremely formulaic. Everything feels so similar. Illusion of choice or no choice at all.
    - clunky mounts. Seriously, who thought this needed momentum physics?
    - no offline mode. I don't really care, but considering the poor server performance on release day, especially in hubs, this is a con.
    - the world is entirely forgettable - I just played this and all I remember is a series of canyons and tunnels, zone after zone.

    Interesting that the website won't let me post my review that contains woke/marxism agenda criticism. Aparently there's only one "tolerant" side of the spectrum you can be part of.

    Terrible game, boring and ridiculous story, unplayable because of technical problems. Only soundtrack makes sense in this piece of code. What a shame after 20 years since D2.

    Non-innovative, uninspiring, simple, repetitive game. The skills feel unimpactful, the combat feels stiff, the itemizations don't produce an impactful difference. I honestly don't see how this game is much different than Diablo Immortal with a bigger price tag, along with a shop selling skins for $25 for...horse armor. Blizzard's outrageous greed continues while producing subpar games.

The game itself was buggy, reports from the 3 early betas were ignored, and the game launched with lots of unpolished glitches. The campaign is a walking simulator, the bosses are forgettable, and the plot is unenjoyable at the end.

    The main elements of an arpg are character progression and loot. This game makes both of those things unenjoyable. I dreaded progression because I knew monsters would be absorbing more damage, and my items would become more obsolete every time I grinded to a new level. I approached this game with an open mind. I wanted to accept it for what it is and not be attached to the mechanics of other classic Diablo games. Unfortunately the game, on its own, is just a very bad player experience.    … Expand

    Worst part is without a doubt how expensive respecing is and it forces players not to make too many changes to the builds. That is VERY bad and could have been done differently.

The game itself is a huge disappointment and truly lacking in almost all areas. The only positives it has, are the cutscenes and the music. I still cannot believe that this is the product of over 6 years of development. It simply does not show. This feels more like a smaller studio trying their first stab at an ARPG, rather than an established studio making a new iteration of a (once) great franchise. Sadly, with this 4th and latest instalment, Blizzard has damaged the Diablo franchise to a point where I doubt recovery is possible.

    Yea, but what should i say... The Last Patch just killed the Game for me. High EXP Cuts, Nerfs (Offensive and defensive) around the Board and just giving a sht on the Community, that paid 70$ Minimum each. In Fact almost all my Builds are dealing like 30-50% LESS damage and dying faster. And they nerfed a important stat in the game "Player have #% Increased fun while playing Diablo4" by almost 100%. Giving us items for BUGGED Resistances (!!!) and will be fixed in Season 2 (?!). Are you fcking kidding me? Uber Uniques that are so rare, that no one will ever see one. Trading is a Joke. Crafting is bad. Helltides just got WAAAY longer. No Gear Upgrades after level 70 (just small ones). Stashes are way to small (playing several builds and 2-3 Classes and you are fcked). No Loot filter at all. The Hardest Boss in the game doesnt have specific Drops, lmfao.

    Игра, продающаяся за 70 долларов, выглzдит как демо-версия. Играл на PS5. Главный конкурент этой игры Path 0f Exile вышла целых 10 лет назад и на данный момент превосходит распиаренный кусок дерьма от Blizzard. И это при том, что PoE является совершенно бесплатной, не считая необязательные транзакции для увеличения сундука.

    Первое что бросилось в глаза - мизерное количество умений, которые мы можем разместить на панели управления. Всего 6 штук. В PoE их 12 и недавно добавили еще 4. (PS5)

    Убогое и линейное дерево прокачки. Это даже не дерево, а обструганный сучок, которым можно поковырять в этой куче дерьма. Играть становится скучно уже часа через 3. Единственный выход это сбрасывать очки и идти по другой ветви развития. Но тогда не захочется переигрывать за этого персонажа в следующий раз.

    Местами "деревянные" анимации, персонаж может резко остановиться, физика ближнего боя выглядит убого.

    Огромное количество однотипных подвалов, подземелий.

    Так как игра только вышла, то чувствуется дисбаланс некоторых умений. Но это я думаю скоро исправят.

    Количество навыков преступно мало, по сравнению с той же PoE. Это просто детский сад какой-то.

    Даже если учесть post game активности, играть всё равно скучно. Ждём запуска сезонов.

    Непонятно зачем сделанные нелепые вставки на игровом движке. Лучше бы добавили ray tracing.

    Эту игру тяжело назвать интересной. Геймплей ощущается как обрезанный и искусственно ограниченный. Выглядит игра в целом так, словно тебе показывают красивую лошадь, но не дают поездить на ней верхом, разрешают только вставить ей в задницу игрушечный руль и вертеть им влево-вправо.

    На данный момент не советую покупать Diabo 4. Игра по всем параметрам отстаёт от десятилетнего конкурента, если не считать графику(всё таки 2023 год на дворе) и сюжет (он тут нужен?).

    Серия Diablo культовая. Основоположник жанра и многолетний триумфатор. Но времена меняются. Вместо удовлетворения потребителей, в первую очередь превозносится прибыль. Если вы никогда не играли в подобные игры и готовы впустую потратить деньги, то смело спонсируйте халатность Blizzard. Если же вы хотите посмотреть на настоящую ARPG, гораздо более глубокую, интересную, реиграбельную, с несоизмеримо большим количеством контента, со все ещё актуальной графикой, то выбирайте Path of Exile.

    This game is objectively half-baked and was released way before it was ready to be a worthy successor to previous entries of the Diablo franchise. That was apparent in the open beta events, and now it has been confirmed by the latest patch 1.1 released on July 18th prior to season one.
    The game has many issues, that are incompetent in a unique and fascinating ways, and by that I mean stuff that makes you wonder: "How did a triple A development company miss the mark so much? What were they even thinking? How can there be such incompetence and stupidity in a company this big?"
    Here are some examples:
    1- You only have 4 stash tabs. Clearly a left over from an earlier concept where they intended to sell them for money but was scrapped, but how did that make it into the release?
    2- Elemental and magic resistances don't work. They are useless stats, even now in build 1.1 with season 1 starting in less than a day.
    3- There is no endgame, everything you have been doing while leveling IS the endgame.
    4- The game has some really questionable coding, like it lags when you interact with vendors, open world map, go from one area to the next ...and I'm sure you have already heard of this game literally frying GPUs for some people.
    5- The always online is a staple in Blizzard games by this point, but I'm still gonna complain about it. Since a disconnect will almost always result in your hardcore character dying. And be disconnected, you shall.
    6- This is an ARPG with the camera zoomed in way too much (because they sell you cosmetics), no map overlay (so you'll always be opening your map), probably the clunkiest UE (D3's was way better), and nothing screams ominous setting and hellspawns like Arial and Sans serif fonts.
    7- Nightmare dungeons, the main endgame activity (if you can call it that), are tedious, repetitive and are just objectively worse than rifts.
    8-world bosses are loot piñatas basically. No challenge after your character hits level 70
    9- Itemization is lackluster, lots of filler stats that are useless in most cases with a few good ones that all builds go for.
    10- Lack of build diversity, one or two viable builds per class and the rest is trash, and there is no balancing whatsoever as some class/build combinations can do 4x times the damage of the best build of another class.
    And now we get to the 1.1 build, which was a **** storm for all intents and purposes. The developers didn't fix any of the previous problems I've mentioned, but instead decided to nerf all the stats and lower the rewards of almost all activities in the game, and implement several changed that made the game more tedious, grindy, repetitive and made every thing require more effort for less rewards. This indicates a flawed design philosophy which suggests the game is going in an even worse direction. The fact that the patch merely introduces band aid fixes and half assed solutions to core mechanics that are fundamentally broken indicates that the development team are an out of touch, incompetent bunch of morons.
    The sad thing is the game has a lot of potential, it is made up of mostly wasted potential really. The artwork is great, the world design is intricate and well crafted, the story (as a concept) was good, the combat engine is fluid and responsive and the combat overall feels great.
    But alas, it appears that the game director doesn't even play the game and has no idea what he's doing so I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone in this state.    … Expand

    Not a bad game in general design and is fun, until you wake up and realize the service is glitchy, the loot is stingy, Blizzard/Activision is trying to push people to Battle Passes and with the recent patch they reduced all class power trying to artificially lengthen the leveling time, hoping people dont find the end game is non-existent.

Itemization is NOT straight forward, has breakpoints that are not obvious, storage for items you are trying to collect is laughable

    I loved Diablo, I am sad for what Diablo 4 has become with the latest patch!    … Expand

    Newest patch just goes to show blizzard has no idea what they're doing. No direction for the game, no QoL fixes, classes are not anywhere near on the same level (Current tier order is Rogue, Druid, Necro, then way below is Barb and Sorc). They literally nerfed two whole classes to the point that they are unplayable for endgame content. It's like they don't even playtest their own game.

    Season 1 is unplayable, 2h of loading screens before created character could enter the game, followed up by infinite loading screen of some cave from the beginning of the seasonal questline, fun times :)

    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]
