    A $70 commercial for Blizzards battle pass and shop. - main game has no valuable content, only in Battle Pass and in-game purchase - in-game purchases are more expensive than $20
    - they forces you to create a new character, beat the +30 hrs campaign again to have the chance to participate in the season. - repetitive content with only a few different bosses and unfun repetitive gameplay.

They did the same thing to me with Overwatch 1, I payed full price for a game I loved only to have it completely destroyed and remade into Overwatch 2 which I absolutely hate. This company has really gone to crap. I remember being 8 years old and loving Blizzard and daydreaming about all of the amazing games they could make in the future with better technology. Yet I keep falling for their dirty tricks every time.. Tomorrow they'll stay Starcraft 3!! And then 8 year old loses his mind and becomes a little boy again and has to play it and get his hands on it... I need to grow up man, I can't let this company does this to me anymore. Hopefully I'll learn my lesson this time... Expand

Patch 1.1.0a happened, though, and as a result I'm actually giving the first zero I've ever given in any review on any site. Without fixing anything the community considered a problem, the patch gutted player damage output and survivability, across the board. Nerfs happen, we all know that. In this instance, however, there's a strong case to be made that they simply felt players were getting too far too fast, and that crippling them would further sales of their season pass tier skips. I've never seen a worse patch, much less a worse first major patch, and unless Blizzard reverses course, I'm done with the game. Right now, I just feel like a sucker for imagining they'd actually done something right. Expand

    Updated for Season 1:

    QA is a joke, for a "Prepared and QA'd Season" it is just trash

    Predatory "Acclerate Battlepass" Button is a lawsuit waiting to happen

    The Dev's actually said "We know our game isn't fun, we will make it fun in the future"

    Season is just the normal game with a garbage gem system that makes you hope for RNG colours on your gear.

    Hearts are inventory space hoggers, you can't even scrap them in every town.
    You have to go to Keovoshad or to his little wagon to use his workbench.

    No QOL Changes, NO INVENTORY UPDATES, it is a joke.

    Don't buy it, and chargeback if you don't care about your account getting banned.

    -----------------------------------

    Campaign is alright, itemization is backwards, end game is a joke.

    I asked for a refund, but had spent too much time on the beta weekends apparently.

    They are nerfing the only way to explore the game with crushing the open world xp / monster level.

    Still haven't gotten my beta pup

    Huge disappointment, the only reason I have played it is the friends I that I'm going to play LE with instead.

    Just like diablo 3 is a downgrade from diablo 2, this is a downgrade from even diablo 3, with microtransactions. In the 2000s there's a lot of lame Korean grindy online games inspired by diablo 2; this thing plays just like those abominations.

    The game could be good, but the people making the game keeps making it worse with new patches. Blizzard is not the same it once was, the people working at Blizzard ain't same and I think everyone can see this. They only makes the game worse instead of better with patches. Other companies i prove the game, but Blizzard are fifferent and make it worse..

    The game is rather repetitive and lacks depth. It was sold as a $70 experience, plus there is a recurring cost with seasons. I think the game is hardly worth the cost. The only place where the game excels is in the graphics department, but then I'd rather spend $80 on subscribing to a streaming service or buying a couple of 4k blurays. I regret buying it — would recommend others pass.

Dungeon design is horrible filled with endless back tracking. Events in dungeons have npc's that need to be protected but don't scale with dungeon level so they die from anything.

    Pros

    Game looks good

    Story is ok.

    Cons

    It runs fairly bad with stuttering and memory leaks.

    Itemization is extremely bad.

    Has a battle pass.

    Dungeon design is horrible filled with endless back tracking.

    Events in dungeons have npc's that need to be protected but don't scale with dungeon level so they die from anything.

    Respecing at max level involves over 450 clicks....

    End game is boring with only helltides and nightmare dungeons.

    World bosses have such long respawn timers and terrible spawn times.

    Getting upgrades at 75+ is slow if not impossible with uber uniques drop rates lower than winning the lottery.

    Builds for each class all have a majority of slots taken by the same few skills leaving 1 or 2 slots free.

    Game balance is awful some classes have multiple viable builds where others have none.

    Dev team is of extremely poor quality and it shows with the continuous tone death patches and responses to community feed back.

    Inventory is very limited with one shared stash for 10 characters.

    Constant nerfing of xp, drop rates, items, aspects, skills, and modifiers to slow down gameplay making it feel even more unrewarding like a working in a coal mine instead of playing a game.

    tldr this game is extremely flawed and it is nobodies fault but the developers and higher ups it's not worth spending your time or money on this cash grab.

For example every Barbar unique is absolut trash and can not be used in the endgame. New Update is a mess. They nerfed crit dmg, vul dmg, damage red, armor, cooldowns , exp gain. Almost everything was nerfed. I was hyped for season 1 now considering not to play. Revert the changes or you will loose alot of players.

    What I like about this game?
    - it looks very cool, more like D2 (and i LOVE D2)
    - gameplay is nice
    BUT
    Lags are huge and a sometimes game crashes makes this game hard to play for me (and I have pretty nice PC, no other game is so laggy for me like this one).
    PvP is very very bad, worst PvP I have ever seen.

    The game becomes very repetitive quickly, the helltide, renown thingy are extremely boring. The gameplay does not feels rewarding at all, in fact it is eqqually as bad as the original D3, if not worse.

    The variant of character models focus soly on several aspects such as tattoos, hairs, but the facial and body build options are very lacking, for one the transmog witch actually looks better than the female sorc. And there is no freaking way for you to make a thinner druid.

    The item upgrade feels very inorganic as u have to hunt for items with the right affixes wehther its rare, legendary or unique, and then repeat as u level up. Most of the affixes do not present a way that is game changing during lvling process and the resource mgt is not fun until u come up with something like the mother embrace ring.

    There seems to be no testing for class mechanics before release and it persists post-release judging from the gaps between necro, druid and sorc.

    I did not really like the potion system in D3, D4 is worse because the low cap at start is worse than potion cooldown.

    The horse cooldown and shuttering start at release is annoying as hell.

    The only thing done right maybe the starting trailer which has good bgm, the story line is soso.

    The fact that the game designer(s) in chief celebrated this game success is kinda sick joke, completely outta touch.

    Through the time playing i starting noticing my Dark wizard of death necromancer was a little lack lusting and kinda weak but i though that i will have to wait for endgame and see evolution, Oh my great mistake the more end game i reach the more weak i become and this loved class was so behind others.
    I Mostly spend all my game time playing the story mode, when i reach endgame T3 i sadly noticed and realized that this was a treadmill and endless farming.
    I stopped playing and I've been waiting with hope that the famous season will bring improvements and less tedious gameplay but was all the contraries, The last patch just finished to F&% the game even more.

    This will be my last blizzard product, before diablo IV my last product was Diablo III so you better believe me when i say I WONT Spend a single dollar in this crap company anymore.

    Rating: -10 (Too generous)

    I recently purchased this game, and let me start off by saying that even a rating of -10 is too generous for it. Considering the price tag of 100 EURO, which is no joke in today's gaming industry, I feel obligated to share my thoughts to prevent others from wasting their hard-earned money. Before I delve into the negatives, let me remind you that there is a game on Steam called Path of Exile (POE) which is not only free-to-play but also offers a better experience.

    Negatives:

    Slow: The pace of the game is painfully slow, making it tedious to progress and engage with the content.
    Poor quality: The overall quality of the game is subpar, resulting in a frustrating and unsatisfying experience.
    Lack of excitement: The game fails to provide any thrilling or engaging moments, making it boring to play.
    Useless skills: The available skills within the game are lackluster and fail to add depth or enjoyment to the gameplay.
    Limited content: The game lacks a variety of enemies to fight against, leading to repetitive and monotonous gameplay.
    Lack of endgame: There is no substantial endgame content to keep players engaged once they complete the main storyline.
    Absence of meaningful items: The game fails to offer a rewarding loot system or meaningful items for character progression.
    Unbalanced characters: The different characters available in the game feel unbalanced and offer little value in terms of gameplay variety.
    Comparison to Diablo 2: The skills and gameplay mechanics in this game pale in comparison to the superior Diablo 2.
    Annoying glitches and bugs: The game is plagued with numerous glitches and bugs that hinder the overall experience.
    Lack of social features: The absence of a party finder and an open-world feel further dampen the multiplayer aspect of the game.
    Overall disappointment: This game is simply a cringeworthy, slow, and boring experience that fails to deliver on its promises. It's hard to understand why it was released in such a state.
    Positives:

    Playing POE (Path of Exile): On the bright side, there is a fantastic alternative called Path of Exile (POE), which is not only free but also offers a superior gaming experience.
    In conclusion, this game was a waste of both time and money. It falls short in almost every aspect, including gameplay, content, balance, and overall enjoyment. I regret spending my hard-earned money on it, and I hope this review prevents others from making the same mistake. I sincerely hope that improvements will be made to address the numerous issues and provide a more satisfying gaming experience. As a paying customer, I would like to request a refund for this disappointing purchase.

    DR nerfs should have never happened before fixing the resistances, Damage nerfs should have never happened without introducing the essential QoL features everyone is asking for. Also, they did a very **** job for class balance.

    I have been playing quite a few RPGs and all Diablo games to date. It still escapes me how a company like Blizzard can make a so poorly planned game launch. They haven't thought which kind of players to target to basically they are targeting none. The game itself is fine but it has a lot of issues. Itemization is really bad and messy.

It still escapes me how a company like Blizzard can make a so poorly planned game launch. They haven't thought which kind of players to target to basically they are targeting none. The game itself is fine but it has a lot of issues. Itemization is really bad and messy. Magic, Rare, Legendaries and Uniques and then, parallely, sacred and ancestral. By the end game most item drops are useless, even uniques. It feels like an endless and nonsense grind.

    There is a huge gap between the performance of different builds making it a forced single option if you want to be able to do something.

    On top of this Blizzard seems to not acknowledge these issues and instead they go for making the grind worse and destroying the popular builds and stats / aspects. But they don't balance others. I got to 74 because i was playing with friends. Was gonna try something different for season one but looking at the direction of the game i will just take a break and allow them to either find the right path or just kill their game.

    I am so happy that Baldur's Gate 3 came out around the same time as this game to really show how terrible D4 actually is.

    If you accidentally hit 'a' on the seasonal page of this game, it automatically charges your card for the 'battle pass'. Blizzard knows they made a terrible game and need to scam their players with these 'ooopsies, you accidentally bought something' tricks. Don't play this & don't let your kids think that this is blizzard you grew up on.

The graphics are a joke. The physics are beyond horrible. The animations are laughable. The level design is terrible. The combat is boring and repetitive. It's too sluggish and even worse than Immortal. No game with an isometric view should be costing $70. When I pay $70, I expect top-notch AAA quality. The fact that Blizzard makes so much money and still make shovelware proves how greedy and lazy they are. That's pathetic and far worse than EA. I expect these developers to work much harder at the outrageous price of $70.

    Truth be told, I don't even have much of a problem with non-P2W microtransactions, because I have to accept reality that AAA online PvP multiplayer on Playstation will basically only happen if MTX is included. You can thank greedy and lazy "story-driven" developers like Sony Santa Monica for that, because they save so much money by giving us half of the game at full price, and still make bank. So of course, developers that give us the full game are going to monetize the online portion for that extra work. My problem is that I already spent $70 on this mobile game that isn't even close to a true AAA experience, and the greedy developers still have the audacity to add MTX. Seeing how this is an online only mobile game with MTX, it should've been free-to-play. This outrageous greed makes EA and Take-Two look like saints in comparison. At least they have full priced games with actual AAA quality. Battlefront 2 or GTA V alone has better quality than the entire Blizzard catalogue combined. That's embarrassing.

    As I already mentioned, this game is online only. So once the developers decide to shut down the servers, this game will end up in the trash can. Charging $70 for a game with no offline modes is a cash grab. The multiplayer is trash. Online is unstable. Blizzard proves once again they aren't capable of making a game with AAA quality. Nothing but free-to-play quality games from these lazy and greedy developers. Blizzard fans ranting over MTX is very ironic. If you're one of those gamers that spent $70+ on WoW, then you have no right to speak against MTX, because you're the reason why they exist in the first place. If a 2004 shovelware can get hundreds upon thousands of dollars from just one person, what do you think the rest of the studios will do? Exactly, how hypocritical. I don't recommend this game at all, unless you want to support laziness.

    so now in a half baked unfinished game, you also do very little damage, along with dying much more quickly, making the experience even slower, more sluggish and grindy

    i cannot believe this is how a billion dollar company treats their games and players, if there was a score lower than 0, i would give it

    its unreal how 1 patch completely destroyed all good will and any hype for the new season, everyone in general were still excited at the prospect of the new season, especially because, for many it would be their first arpg season, but now most of the sentiment around this game is to uninstall and never buy any games from this company in the future

It’s suppose to be a grind but in my opinion is over the top. The endgame is not compelling, but I liked the campaign ok.

    You know what they say about hindsight, but I would have waited for this game to be 50% off. Lastly the micro transactions this reduced my score by at least 2. I know people say they are only cosmetic etc. Yet this is a full priced game, the really “cool” skins should be the result of gameplay not $20. If Fortnite wants to sell skins, fine it’s free to play. Selling skins in full price games only incentives developers to hold back content to sell at a premium. We shouldn’t stand for that it’s a slippery slope.

    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.
