    Don't buy unless you want to pay Blizzard to beta test their $70 game because they obviously didnt. A beautiful game with so much talent and promise behind it...with an out of touch dev team that is more motivated to do what is in their best interests instead of what is in the best interest for the player/community. A grindy disappointment with no endgame. What a waste

    Lazy game developer and greedy company. Have been a gamer almost 40 years and this is not worth the steep price. Boring compared to Diablo 3.

    I would recommend acquiring Malaria over Diablo 4. Blizzard really messed this game up since launch. So much meddling that they don't know what's up and down anymore.

    I typed why I think this game is awful in 3000 words but Metacritic does not allow such filth on their pages. So I will just play nice and give the game a zero as that is the highest it deserves.

    The recent patch sent me back to playing Support in Smite. Thats all the perspective you need. Boycott this garbage until Blizzard decides to apply meaningful updates rather than nerf their game by half in the hopes of making the cash cow last longer.

    I play sorcerer in game, and let me tell y’all something. With the recent patch we got, I feel like that new show that Tom Holland came out with called “The Crowded Room”. Blizzard “fixing” a game by making it worse is not such a fun experience for the fan base. The amount of **** we have to grind and the less damage we do makes me go play Path of Exiles.

    Patch 1.1 has destroyed this game. I've always been a big Diablo fan and loved the Betas for Diablo 4 but it has got progressively worse with each patch up to the point of it has become a chore to play. I was looking forward to Season 1 but now I don't even care to play the game again as I stands right now

It feels like the initial version of this game was not correctly playes as expected by the game designers, therefor they had to do these dramatic changes now. But practically for me after being 670 hours ingame, that nows feels like a massive funchpunch and my character is much weaker. I had max rolled items which are now min rolles, so I practically lost a lot of gold. Everything takes much longer now and you get less rewards. No Quality of Life features like new stash space have been added, it was really balancing downgrades only. Giving this patch without anything giving back (like add fun or rewards) - feels like a massive disappointment. Hence this rating and I hope it will be fixed.… Expand

    Do. Not. Buy. Wait till this goes on sale in a few years. I very much regret my decision, especially with the new "Fun Nerf" patch where what little fun was in the game has been taken out. Blizzard continues to prove they don't care about their fans or player base. I'll be deleting this to free up space and call it a sunk cost.

    Paid $100 to beta test a AAA title with next to no end game, season 1 had tons of changes, non of them address any of the quality of life problems in the systems built into this game, maybe in a few more beta iterations (seasons) some of it will be ironed out and they will have a complete product, don’t waste as much time as I have on this.

I have been waiting years for this release, and have never been so disappointed by the ability for such a large and established company to deliver so little. The fact that Blizzard use the selling point that it has been in development for 9 years was aspirational pre-launch, but is now just utterly embarrassing. Fix your game.… Expand

Between the nonexistent endgame, overuse of grinding mechanics, and finally the first major patch... where they nerfed everything (making it even more grindy). Not that grinding should be unexpected in an ARPG, but when the XP halfway point between levels 1 and 100 is LEVEL 85... something is off.I had a lot of hope for this, since I really loved D3.

    But instead they nerfed the classes into oblivion where as the sorcerer is not even playable anymore.

The combat is engaging, the story / lore for the series is incredible, and the visuals are fantastic!

    The biggest issue seems to be how incredibly out of touch the Blizzard team seems to be with the D4 playerbase. Updates consistently run contrary to what players are asking for, and the biggest community asks seem to be ignored or tabled with no ETA. The game is getting worse as it ages rather than better. The season 1 mechanic of shoving whole organs into rings and necklaces is immersion breaking without actually adding a meaningful feeling mechanic to the game, and the season came with an update that makes playing off-season endgame content feel underwhelming at best. Inventory management in this game is a JOKE, non-repetitive gameplay is non-existent as devs push players to engage with a single piece of content by pulling rewards from other content, and itemization/build planning is as unbalanced as ever as they continue to try leveling different play styles by literally making ALL builds less effective. Oh, and their idea of making more “endgame content” is by slowing down progression so endgame content is harder to reach!

    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

    In a game whose genre finds most of its replayability through build experimentation and entertaining gameplay loops, you'll be surprised to find that Blizzard have opted to discourage both of those facets of gameplay. Build experimentation has been hamstringed through exorbitant costs and tedious skill refund systems. Interesting and entertaining gameplay loops have been universally nerfed for all classes and survivability has been largely removed from classes, particularly for high tier content.

    The development strategy of D4 appears to be solely metrics driven with the primary, or possibly only, metric being time spent. The development team at Blizzard have gone to great lengths to increase the amount of time players spend in the game but have done so not by providing a world and gameplay experience we as players want to consistently return to, but by enacting changes that increase friction and introduce needlessly grindy systems.

I'd rate it very favorably prior to the Season 1 patch. Now it's a 0. It's clear that the devs are either looking at the wrong data to begin with, or they are poorly interpreting the correct data.

    Making the game harder to level when less than 5% of the accounts actually have a max level character? Bad choice.

    Nerfing the class that can't even do end game content to begin with even further? Logic was not used in this decision.

    It's almost as though they are only paying attention to the metrics coming from the streamers and hardcore players (not that it's their fault) and trying to balance the game around the 1% vs the tons of people playing the game casually who might like to see the beginning of the top end some time this year.

    The end of this Season will be telling on whether I change my score. If less than 10% of the active Season 1 participants make it to 100, and something isn't done/admitted to immediately, I'll rate this as a zero forever. The game is good. The devs are poor.    … Expand

    Lazy, Greedy, Talentless Developers. They don't know what they are doing. Why do they even bother making such a horrible game

    I hate Blizzard with all my heart and soul! Patch 1.1 ruined the game and I had to delete it. Dog **** Blizzard employees wish you to burn in hell!

    This game was fun for about a month... then Blizzard decided to release patch 1.1

    Here is the short version of what they did... Much less exp Made every character more squishy Gave enemies more hp Nerfed the strongest builds without buffing anything else Increased cooldowns across the board Heavily nerfed the weakest class in the game (Sorc) Zero quality of life    This game was fun for about a month... then Blizzard decided to release patch 1.1

    Here is the short version of what they did...

    Much less exp

    Made every character more squishy

    Gave enemies more hp

    Nerfed the strongest builds without buffing anything else Increased cooldowns across the board

    Heavily nerfed the weakest class in the game (Sorc)

    Zero quality of life changes.

    It's Blizzard. If it ain't broke, they'll break it.

    I uninstalled the game when I got home last night.    … Expand

    Long time player of Diablo 2 and Diablo 2 Resurrected. Although the trade market is a bit hampered by class specific drops, the play style is awesome and continuing to grow with seasons. Excited to see where this game goes!

    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]
