    Just bought it and almost finished the campaign. As I loved the dark style of D2 and never really got into D3 cause of the comic-like art, D4 has all I wished for.
    Can't say anything about endgame but people whining a lot here, when there is still time for Blizzard to improve things.
    At first was too easy, now too much nerfed. They won't be satisfied whatever happens next.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An improvement from all they did wrong with Diablo3 but D3 brought the franchise so much back that even a step forward is still far behind what it should be.

    They didn’t took any risk

    - itemization: bland, soulless, boring
    - story: decent until your character took the damn stupid decision to refuse Lilith offer
    - campaign: so many unskippable dialogues… escort mission and low mob density
    - skill system: boring and limited. The 4basic, 4 core system makes it have max 1-2 decent build per class. There is no possible theorycrafting or diversity possible. The generator/spender system has been a franchise killer

    Combat: the amount of CC you have to endure is killing the fun, especially for melee. It doesn’t matter to have unstoppable 4 sec… you’ll be Cc for the rest of the Cooldown of your skill. Pvp is decent

    Endgame: boring same crap

    Crafting: non-existent

    Qol: lacks so much of it… no map overlay, no gem tab, no proper search function

    Ui: this game was created for console and its limitations, so when ported to pc it feels so much shallower because Pc can do so much more    … Expand

    Let's be honest, its not absolutely terrible and it's not perfect. More builds need to be competitive and renown is a WoW-like hamster wheel because they don't trust their game to be played enough on its own. They had 10 years to make this great and it falls well short.

    Diablo IV is a decent release from Blizzard. Combat is enjoyable, with the usual packs of exploding demons, and the game world is gorgeous.

Combat is enjoyable, with the usual packs of exploding demons, and the game world is gorgeous. The storyline was solid for Diablo with lots of cinematics. Seasons look good and with a revenue model, hopefully they will contain interesting content. There is a modest endgame that consists of scaling dungeons, helltides, tree of whispers quests for gear, and legion events. The world boss appears too infrequently.

    There are some major missteps that need to be rectified though. QoL is poor, with too little stash and tiny character inventory. Yet again loot is disappointing as if they learned nothing from Diablo III. Legendaries amount to crafting materials, unique affixes are iffy, and incomprehensibly they put in ultra-rare drops that most players will never see. Why do that in an essentially solo game that revolves around loot? There is no random grouping for nightmare dungeons, and respeccing a character costs a small fortune in gold. This design decision makes no sense in a live service game where a patch can break a build overnight. It should have been free - optimizing gear is already a substantive gold sink.

    Also conspicuously missing are the cow level, gold and item find gear that was a staple of previous Diablo games, and the Horadric cube. Treasure goblins are stingy and even after the buff gold shrines are barely worth clicking. One has to wonder if the development team has even played the previous Diablo games.

    Hopefully Blizzard will get the issues rectified more quickly than they did for Diablo III. It certainly has potential but it's not a great game at this point.    … Expand

    Statues of Lilith are annoying and do not add anything meaningful into the game.
    The dungeons only being accessible in the overworld introduces meaningless walking.
    No loot filters. Have to sift through loot manually.
    Stash/vendors in town are spread out. Introduces meaningless walking.
    Nerfs to builds 2 days after launch. Wasting your pre-launch build planning. Hopefully they will not do that to season launches.
    Low dungeon randomization. Leading to high dungeon predictability / determinism of certain dungeon features.
    Low mob density. Partially making players walk more than kill monsters.
    The general low mob density and low dungeon randomization also causes dungeons with high density clusters to be more efficient to farm to the point where only 1 or 2 dungeons are being farmed by the community.
    Group play has so many benefits that it trivializes and exploits certain aspects of the game. That can be ok if the ladder will be split in solo only and rest.
    Bad class balance. Some classes are good and fast while leveling and in endgame. Some only in endgame. And some seem to be worse in all parts of the game.
    No super rare powerful chase items like rare runes in D2, Mageblood in PoE, etc.
    Legendary / unique affixes which add dmg multipliers to specific skills. This creates a balancing hell where one or two skills will always be better to pick due to their affixes being more powerful (see Whirlwind for Barb or Twisting Blades for Rogue). Instead of having generalized affixes which make many different skills more powerful, increasing build diversity.
    UI made for consoles / controller limitations.
    No social features like party finder. I would expect this from an always online, shared overworld game.
    An enemy level scaling where mobs also gain levels when your character levels up. This will cause your character to sometimes get weaker when leveling up due to mobs sometimes gaining more stats than you on level up.    … Expand

    Basic UI options are missing... you can't highlight items on the ground by hold Alt? Or anything?

    Finally, the class balancing is garbage. Some classes run through the game, while others are a constant struggle bus.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game. Probably the best in the Diablo franchise. Much better than the trash known as Diablo 3. I never give any game a perfect score, but as far as Diablo games go this is as near to perfection as the series has come. I would give it an 8 if not for the required internet connection which drops it 1 point solid 7/10 at least. I haven't played too deep into the campaign yet, but there is enough exploration, side quests, and dungeons to keep you busy for hours. The game rewards exploration and completing side quests/ dungeons. The side quests are my favorite addition as they are all dark and gritty while being compact yet in depth and enjoyable sub stories encapsulated within the main plot. To give an idea about the amount of exploration and reward that can happen here. I have barely completed act 1 and am already level 47, I have just barely started exploring the area to the northwest of the beginning region. This is from doing side quests and optional dungeons. A huge amount of work has gone into world building and emersion. The graphics are beautiful and don't resemble the comic book style of WOW and Diablo 3, which is a huge plus. Alot of the WOW DNA that contaminated Diablo 3 Is gone and replaced with all new mechanics. The leveling up system feels more akin to Diablo 2 than Diablo 3. The game as a whole feels like a sequel to Diablo 2 rather than Diablo 3 and this is also a huge source of brownie points. As a Diablo fan that has been with the series since the first game port on the PS1, this is a must play.

    I see alot of hate for this game saying the patches made it unplayable or something. My response to this is get better. You can respec your class at any time for a cost. My necromancer has made it through the patches unphased ( I'm playing a summoner). Currently enjoying earning the blood steed in an unpopulated server.    … Expand

I have asked for a refund ONLY for that cosmetic (2200 platinum, not money) back, so I can use the platinum on something I eventually like. I have been denied the refund, because:

    '... cosmetics that are purchased with in-game currency, such as Platinum, are non-refundable. However, those cosmetics can be refunded in case they were purchased with real money!' - guess what: the option to purchase from the shop via 'real money' is not existent, and the platinum is purchased with 'real money'. Being treated like this after I've given them 'real money' and didn't ask back for it, but for the platinum, is disgusting.

    This is a great game, even with it's few flaws compared to the big picture - in story, and in bugs.

    Unfortunately, there is little content after the story and once you hit about level 65-70 the grind loses its fun. The power creep seriously drops off and there is no reason to grind to 100.

    Long awaited game for me. Not because I’m such a big fan of Diablo series in general, just really wanted to play co-op story game with friends. Developers do not treat us often with that kind of games.

    I’ve finished the game as Barbarian. And it was kind of…boring. You just hold X, wait for the rage to fill and then push “square”. I had another build, it was one more button complicated.

    I’ve finished the game as Barbarian. And it was kind of…boring. You just hold X, wait for the rage to fill and then push “square”. I had another build, it was one more button complicated. The main problem is difficulty. On the first run I was only able to choose second difficulty as highest, not taking into account the last one, where you could only die once. On this difficulty there was only one boss, who fought back - Butcher. All the others, including Lilith - we’ve been just standing in one spot, holding X, pushed second, rarely - third button sometimes. And that’s it. No challenge. At all.

    What really pissed me off - is that Blizzard has purposely left difficulty change for after the campaign is done. I was here only for the campaign. I don’t like being restricted and pushed into the “endgame” content. I’m not interested in pointless dungeon exploration, looting etc. Endgame - means that game is finished for me. At this point I exit and go sell it.

    Another mistake player like me could make - take side missions. By the 60-70% completion of the main story you’ll be around level 45-50. That means further development of your character is pointless and brings no joy. You already have all the main skills, it makes no sense to change the build, because the game already doesn’t challenge you at all. So just follow the main story, I suppose that way the gameplay will be more satisfying.

    Graphics are beautiful. Locations too. Sound is good. Atmosphere great and story is pretty good for the series. The main problem is that there’s no challenge for people, who are only after story completion. Vampire Survivors were more complicated. The main problem is that there’s no challenge for people, who are only after story completion. Even Vampire Survivors were more complicated.

    p.s. Haven’t played Season 1, I’ve finished game before. Once again - the idea of going through Season 1 only with a new character is unimaginably ridiculous. I don’t want to go through that same story and locations once again.

    p.p.s. I understand, that it’s hard to balance between 2 major groups of Diablo audience - those, who don’t care about story and are only interested in “Endgame” and those, who are, like me, here only for the main story. But, remember “If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either one”.

    For instance necromancer have blood, minions and bones spells. The game will push you to take all the minions skills to optimize your gameplay. So the build variety is quite low, and enabled by legendary items.

    Add to that, no loadouts, expensive respecialization, it's tedious to try new builds, you need to find legendary items, manually respecs all your points, and you cannot test your builds and evaluate it with metrics. You have no dummies to try your build on. So if your new builds feel less good, you need to pay again to respecs, and put all your points, gear back as it was before with no way to save it. The game highly discourage build exploration.

    First of all, I'm not a hater of the game, I hope that Blizzard will work on it over time.

    The story was good up to act 5 which felt like a chore to me, especially when I was already 53 when I finished the act 2 because I cleaned the first 2 zones completely and felt the need to rush the campaign to unlock the T3 difficulty while I just wanted to explore the map. T3 should be unlocked at lvl 50, not after the campaign because what's the point of having such a huge world to explore if you're block the difficulty behind the campaign.

    Limited trade : I really don't like the idea of not being able to trade my perfect roll legendary that I can't use in my build. Some people will say it encourages RMT and ... I don't care, that's not my job to fight against bots, it's Blizzard job, they're taking the easy way out by removing a key feature of ARPG for a lot of people.

    Balance/bugs : There are huge disparities between classes which isn't helped by the bugs but that's not something engraved in stone, it's gonna change, yeah the actual balance is pretty bad and we're only one week into the game. Balance is especially bad if you're not playing a strength class in late game but that's an "easy" fix (comparatively to other problems about design of the game itself)

    Itemization : I didn't know what to think about it during the beta but now that I've seen it up to late game, I would rather go back to usual stats, I don't like the "close/distant/vulne" stats. They add no real value and are hard to quantify in effectiveness. I have around 1500hrs in PoE and 3000hrs in D3 and those stats still confuses me.

    Scaling (with a bit of itemization) : I get the idea behind it, being able to play with your friends and all but to me, I feel pretty bad chasing the same item I already have, just with +10ilvl. I like the idea that, if I can kill a monster in 2 hits at lvl 20 and I doubled my damage 10 lvls later to OS that same monster. That's how I feel myself more powerful, seeing change over time.
    At the moment, the game on that point feels more like a cookie clicker. That's especially true after lvl 70+.

    The mount : It's getting stuck on everything ... You can't sprint in town, in fact it's the same speed as if you were walking.

    Stash : We need a gem and an aspect inventory, they're taking way too much space for something WE NEED to have, idk why it's not already in the game while we already have a ressource inventory.

    And yet, even with all of this flaws, I'm still rating 6/10 because I truly think it's a good base for a game and I have seen much much worst of a launch ... but I wouldn't recommend it atm, especially if you're into playing all day long, as a casual, yeah maybe because you'll most probably won't encounter the late game problems before they fix those.    … Expand

    Até o level 50 é um bom jogo. Depois disto se torna repetitivo e chato. É um jogo simples, era só pegar a fórmula dos outros Diablo, POE, e melhorar. Não conseguiram fazer o básico. Como pode um jogo se diz RPG, as skill do level 10, são as mesmas até o level 100, isto é só um dos erros básicos, voce nunca fica forte no jogo, nunca evolui.

    Beautiful game and really liked how they went back to their darker roots in the storyline this time around. Unfortunately I had to request a refund due to not being able to play alone. It's incredibly immersion-breaking to have characters such as DarthNads and I'mNotAGirl show up in your world. I may be back if they ever change that.

Una campaña que vendieron tanto criticos como blizzard,como la segunda venida de cristo y es meh total. La subida de nivel es escandalosa, casi al punto de un mmo aunque la gente no quiera verlo. Cambio de estadisticas absurdas, con gastos de millones de oro para q la mayoria de las veces no cambie o el cambio sea a peor. Unos precios en tienda absurdos con un juego q vale 80 euros. Un proximo pase de batalla q no hace falta a precio, lo minimo seria q te diesen los pases por lo q vale el juego. Personajes a los q dedicas 200 horas para q no valgan en julio porque patata, aqui la gente lo defienden diciendo q en los otros juegos hacen lo mismo, eso no significa q este bien, es una excusa porque saben q no pueden meter contenido suficiente durante 3 meses para cada temporada y lo resuelven haciendo q te vuelvas a subir el personaje, envez de subir el cap lv en cada temporada y seguir subiendo estadisticas con nuevas zonas con enemigos de mayor nivel e ir añadiendo habilidades para los personajes cada temporada para aprovechar los niveles nuevos. Supuestos arreglos que lo q hacen es romper o nerfear builds segun les salga del culo, como en el overwatch con los personajes, q unos valian y otros no segun el parche. Un endgame basura de repetir mazmorras de pesadilla como un condenao durante mas de 100 horas. Con el nivel 70 con nigromante ya me he cansado hace tiempo. Unas misiones secundarias a las q empece poniendo atencion, pero que segun avanzas, lo q te cuentan es una mierda, no tienen relacion con el mundo del juego. Por poner un ejemplo reciente, Final fantasy 16 tiene 4 misiones malas por tutorial, pero cuando pasan 4 horas de juego son misiones q profundizan en los personajes y en el mundo, ademas de mejorarte opciones o mecanicas del juego o añadirte mejores equipaciones. Pero claro, diablo tiene 200 misiones y eso conlleva q la mayoria van a ser basuras, q se arreglaria rebajando el numero de misiones y aumentando la recompesa, q por cierto las recompesas son penosas. A nivel tecnico el juego va como la mierda desde que salio, han mejorado pero sigue estando mal. A mi personalmente me parece q blizzard no valora desde hace bastante tiempo a sus jugadores, el overwatch que lo abandonaron ellos mismos y con el 2 mienten sobre lo q van a añadir y hasta sus propios creadores de contenido se estan quejando. Activision no pinta aqui, pero como son empresas conjuntas, el cod se va muriendo y sus jugadores no paran de quejarse. Espero q con este diablo no pase eso y de verdad mejore mucho, pero con el historial q llevan lo dudo. No lo he disfrutado y si no hacen nada dudo q vuelva a jugar, son 80 euros q me han dolido gastarme.… Expand

    There is a lot of going back and forth here and there and it takes way too long to get the horse to speed it up.

    They should of made this game first person like Fallout 3 or the new Zelda games. Then the devs would probably of saw how they could streamline items to matter more and not try to make things interesting with complexity since the top down gameplay feels stale to most people. It just turns into flyswatter mechanics.

    At this point the devs need to look in the mirror and realize that they should take out about half or more of the affixes on items. There is no reason for different crits for different situations. Anything elemental should be intuitive like how Zelda does it. They dont have a huge stat sheet since you can FEEL how much stronger it is to freeze something and then hit it with fire.

It is as dark as the early Diablo games (before the fight was taken to the high-heavens) and has enough character development and twists to keep you engaged.

    The open-world content is fun enough to keep you playing for 10-20h after the story ends. Events are engaging and rewarding enough to be worth participating in until most gear slots are euipped with suitable "ancestral"-items.
    Unfortunately, this is where the game starts to stumble. Once you have your "ancestral"-items for a working build, the only way to increase your power is through "unique items" that are randomly dropped. Yet, these "uniques" are sometimes so powerful that they can make or break your class and without them you will struggle significantly more with higher nightmare dungeons (which become the only endgame content - similar to greater rifts, just with objectives instead of a timer).

    The gameplay is basically a builder-spender rotation that rewards big pulls for most classes. Spenders hit really big while builders do pretty much nothing which feels very weird, especially for classes with very costly spenders. It still feely clunky when you compare the gameplay to Diablo 3 in the end stages, before sets and newly introduced uniques solved the problem. Therefore I give them the benefit of the doubt here and assume that they will introduce new items with following seasons to make gamplay much smoother.

    The game is ok. If you think about buying the game, I would recommend to wait until you can get it at a cheaper price since content is quite limited right now and the gamplay is still somewhat sluggish.    … Expand

    The Good: - Its a Diablo III reskin - "same" gameplay with different skills and bonuses. Its fun, I put in over 80 hours, so I paid approximately $1.00/hr for fun. I may return in a couple of seasons, so my value goes up. - I thoroughly enjoyed season one... "The Barber", nuf said. The Bad: - At about    TLDR: Its a Diablo III reskin with scantly more depth.

    - Its a Diablo III reskin - "same" gameplay with different skills and bonuses. Its fun, I put in over 80 hours, so I paid approximately $1.00/hr for fun. I may return in a couple of seasons, so my value goes up.
    - I thoroughly enjoyed season one... "The Barber", nuf said.

    The Bad:
    - At about level 85ish, the game loses its purpose and gets real boring and overly grindy.
    - Legendaries and Ancestrals need a name change to Powerball and MegaMillions. You have to go through 100's of them to find something to tolerate.
    - There is a LOT of stuff that is unexplained by the game. You must go find Youtubers to teach you otherwise you end up with 20 levels after you unlocked it, you will find things like the 's' button is a key part of a build or that power level, except for 700 and above, means nothing at all or that... list could go on for four or five paragraphs.
    - Only two or three side quests have characters and stories that are worth reading, and while we are at it (finger pointed at the whole industry), I am the most powerful wizard in the world...I defeated what heaven couldn't and your idea of great side quests are make them an errand boy *sigh*. If unlocking paragon points wasn't attached to them, I would never look at them again, as they don't effect jack.
    - Microtransactions, although not nearly as bad as 3 was in the beginning, if you want it, one complete outfit can cost you as much as the game.
    - If you don't pay for the season, your playability will be very limited.

    The Ugly
    - My biggest beef with Diablo IV is that in eleven years of development only this much got done? I expected more than a reskin with new skills which makes Diablo IV an eleven year old "Madden" game. You know the one, where EA updates a roster, adds a couple words and charges $70 every year. It took Blizzard 11 years to do what EA does every year.
    - Multiiplayer is super lacking. No hopping into random "Riifts" or interacting at all, in fact, when you see someone cross your path, you end up going the other way because it hurts you. My question is, what's the point of clans or being online-all-the-time if there is no good way to interact (other than emote "look" five million times). I joined two separate clans and unless you Discord, there is no simple way to hang out and join parties. Again, a D3 reskin.
    -Im old, I have seen and played all four iterations of Diablo on day one. If you look at the base, you will see a trend of most saying D2 was the best iteration, and with that I agree. Why is it we keep getting further from the best iteration rather than build upon that one? Oh yeah, that model didn't have season passes, microtransactions and was heading in a fantastic direction that we could all see.    … Expand

    I have played Diablo since the very first one was released. I have a ridiculous amount of hours in Diablo, D2, and D3.

    The good: + I enjoyed the overall story. + I enjoyed the main npc characters and many of the quests. + Leveling up to level 50 or so was fun. The bad: - Leveling past 50 is an absolute chore and boring. - Many stat rolls on gear are freaking bizarre and useless. -    I have played Diablo since the very first one was released.

    The good:

    + I enjoyed the overall story.

    + I enjoyed the main npc characters and many of the quests.

    + Leveling up to level 50 or so was fun.

    The bad:

    - Leveling past 50 is an absolute chore and boring.

    - Many stat rolls on gear are freaking bizarre and useless.

    - Cost of re-rolling and re-speccing is outrageous.

    - Online only.

    - End game feels like World of Warcraft with nothing but busy work.

    - Classes are completely unbalanced.

    - Graphics are not really anything to brag about.

    - Absolutely no point in making a hardcore character if you can only play online. - Disconnections and world lag.

    - Dungeons are terrible. - Season 1 is massively boring. - The top down view needs some major adjustments.

    - Battle pass and cosmetics shop is unnecessary.



    Overall 5/10. Completely average. Nothing special at all. A solid deal when it goes to $29.99 or lower.    … Expand

    Extremely mediocre and disappointing, if it was called Lillith 1 no one would defend it.

    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]
