    The worst patch in video game history, what a waste of time. Was already getting bored with the grind and then they make every aspect of the game worse.

    Played the game, liked it. Devs are now forcing you to participate in their seasons mechanic and try to get you to buy a $20 battle pass for a game that already cost you $70 when you just bought it.

    HOW DOES A LOOT GRIND GAME NOT HAVE COOL LOOT. Story was cool but that’s not why we are here. Items are lame. Uniques are meaningless and sparse.

    There is no Endgame in Diablo IV. The Devs are clueless on how to make a good ARPG, they've got a new season mechanic for Season 1 which is boring and unintuitive, they have done 0 QOL updates and have not listened to the community at all.

    1.1 patch is a giant dumpster fire. Anything past level 80 is completely pointless. There have been no meaningful QOL changes that have been desperately needed already, not even but a little over a month after launch. 90% of what the community has asked for has been ignored/communication has been radio silent. I do not recommend touching this game for at least another year at this rate

    Blizzard Activision being Blizzard Activision. If you have to withhold patch notes till the last second because you're scared of the reaction, maybe you should rethink the content.

    For a live service game, having developers that listen to player feedback is incredibly important to it's longevity, replayability, and improving upon the game as it ages. Diablo IV has none of that.

Instead, the patch provided literally the complete opposite...nerfs to all classes across the board along with a significant increase to grinding everything we already did over the last 2 months. Not to mention, those last 2 months seem wasted considering we spent significant time & gold, farming specific gear affixes just for them to go ahead and nerf all of that gear building to the point that it all must be redone. The sorcerer is also useless at this point. So yeh, pointless/repetitive grinding, gear-killing nerfs, and meta class seasons. Everything that ruined Destiny 2...what a let down, man.… Expand

    When playing the game expect to to be killed in 1 hit. Or 15 min to kill 1 mob. In a game designed to kill hords of thousands and collect loot before the patch the game was actually fun. Now the game just isn't fun nor worth the effort to pretend that it's fun.

    Game was alright for a few weeks, but the patch on 7/18/23 killed most aspects of the game. It’s a shame. Before it was a dumpster fire it was an alright game. Hopefully Blizzard will get its act together and resuscitate this game soon. Otherwise I can’t advise buying it in its current condition.

    Devs are completely out of touch with the player base. Choosing to nerf everything so the grind is longer because there is a complete lack of endgame content instead of actually adding more content and improving the gameplay loop and itemization. Blizzard as a whole have been in decline there is no more passion and vision in this company.

    The game is very repetitive but so is the "ARPG" genre. The difference here is that the loots are very unexciting and makes you wonder why are you are playing it for. Also if the devs just didn't listen to the community for feedback that would be one thing but here not only do they not listen but on top of it they actively go out of their way to make the game worst in every single aspect.

The Diablo team is incompetent. The itemization is horribly designed and the loot hunt it non existent.
    There are no role playing since the character identity is depended on items.
    The game was fun when the density was high but they kept nerfing it.
    All the lasers, the ice wall, the fire bombs, poison pool, ice orbs, fear, etc... on the ground is horrible design... half the time, your character is CC'd and you die.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The mindset of "the "game" only really starts after you've completed the campaign." is one of the dumbest takes i've seen. As I played through the campaign there were certain legendaries that I needed to complete my build to play the way I wanted too. I was lucky and got my first drop at level 28 but didn't get another legendary drop of the same aspect until I had beaten the game and reached level 60. Since the legendary aspect was on my weapon, that meant that unless I wanted to play a different build, my only option was to use this lv 28 weapon until I got a second drop, which made the game grueling to play through. Now I know that I could have just picked a different build and ran that through the campaign, but what game makes you tailer your playstyle depending on what random drops you get? Why are dedicated legendary drop sources not a thing in this game? once I beat the game and got to the "post game" that everyone said would be the best part, I just didn't care anymore. The only thing I had to look forward to being nightmare dungeons and Uber Lilith as a final "test" for my character, but since I basically needed to be level 100 to fight Uber Lillith and there was no inbetween boss, I had no drive or desire to grind my character after finishing the campaign and unlocking world tier 3. blindly playing through and grinding, hoping I got lucky, and I could get another drop to make the exact same build I am running stronger (just by having an on level legendary aspect) or that I got enough other legendries or uniques to make a different build. there was no step progression that drove me to want to play further.

    After the 1.1 update it has completely killed any desire, I had to revisit the game and start a fresh new character. Season 28 of Diablo 3 felt right, it was refreshing with the altar of rites making the grind and gameplay easier to get to max level and try out new things but dropping the 1.1 nerfs to every character just before season 1 killed the game. Now even if I wanted to come back and play my eternal realm character to finish the grind and beat Uber Lilith, I do significantly less damage, grinding XP got much harder and I get less, it takes longer to kill all the mobs and clear dungeons, I take more damage than I did before which was bad enough as it was because I was gettting 1 tapped or CC'd to death frequently enough, AND its now much harder to farm gear with the nerf to helltides. I'm sure given enough seasons, this game will get better as blizzard figures out how they want this game to be, but I really don't care about the eventual state of the game, if I wanted to play a game that got good around season 12 or 15, I would have bought the game WHEN THEY GOT TO SEASON 12 OR 15, not when it released. I also don't want to be that guy that compares Diablo to POE, but with how terrible they are handling season 1, I have to. Not only is this games post-game WAY WORSE than POE, it's not even close. Now I know POE has also had plenty of seasons and almost 10 years of development to get to where it is, but it is also a completely FTP game, not a $70 release game. It's just really disappointing, seeing how they did so well with Season 28 of Diablo 3, I was hoping they had used their 28 trial seasons there to put together a really solid season 1 of Diablo 4, but I was wrong.

    Blizzard will never learn, and I really hope that Diablo 4 dying will make them.    … Expand

    Started out ok. Then, instead of adding meaningful content, Blizzard just nerfed everything into the ground to increase their "time played" metrics. POE and LE both do ARPGs better now.

    Don't be fooled. Blizzard doesn't exist anymore. This is just a zombie brand designed to exploit nostalgia with the IP they bought so they can have your money. If you want to find a game made by someone who wants you to have fun, look elsewhere.

    For once Blizzard, listen to your player base. You are going to start losing revenues if you don’t. I was going to buy the season 1 battle pass, but not now, and I won’t spend another dime until you fix the game. Itemization, social aspect, making builds more powerful. Everyone shouldn’t be running the same thing!! Bizarre that they can’t see these issues, or maybe they just do not care.

    This game had so much potential, until you got to the end and realized there was little to no soul. I can not understand why a Diablo game would not have trade while also having an incredibly simplistic "crafting" system. Gear progression in this game is very bad. There are no loot filters so half of the game is looking through rare items you've picked up and vendoring 99% of them.This game had so much potential, until you got to the end and realized there was little to no soul.

There are no loot filters so half of the game is looking through rare items you've picked up and vendoring 99% of them. Upgrades are small percentage points at best once you've hit end game.

    The uniques are awful. Seriously makes no sense how and why they designed uniques this way in the game. Getting a good unique in D2 was a great feeling and allowed you to trade towards a BIS item needed for your build. None of that exists in this game. The poor design on uniques means most will go straight to a vendor.

    Lastly, the last "balance" patch is a clear indication that this game is intended to become another chore simulator with time played metrics. The cash shop will no doubt start being loaded with crap to speed this process up in the near future when season 1 starts. The blizzard of old is gone and the systems implemented in this game are only intended to waste your time to make you pay like they did for Immortal. What a shame.    … Expand

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).

    - The Devs don't play their games - They literally announce one of the core defensive stats in the game, elemental resistance, to not working properly and they would only address it in season 2 (Yes, a core mechanic that needs 4 months of work to be fixed). However, they add that very "not working properly" stats into the item affixes pool, and literally buffed the passive that gives elemental resistance on Sorc, but who asked? It's not working properly, instead of fixing it, they keep acting like it's hot **** and players need to use it.

However, after finally playing the game, I can confidently say that it was a major disappointment and fell far short of the high standards set by its predecessors.

    First and foremost, the graphics and visuals were shockingly outdated. In an era where gaming technology has evolved leaps and bounds, Diablo IV seemed like a throwback to the early 2000s. The lackluster character designs and environments felt bland and uninspired, failing to immerse players in the dark and immersive world that Diablo games are known for.

    Additionally, the storyline was a convoluted mess. Diablo games have always boasted engaging narratives that draw players into a rich, dark fantasy realm. However, in Diablo IV, the plot seemed rushed and poorly developed, lacking the depth and complexity that made the previous installments so captivating. The character motivations were unclear, and the dialogue felt clichéd and predictable, making it difficult to connect with the story.

    Gameplay was another letdown. The combat mechanics felt clunky and unresponsive, making it frustrating to engage in battles with demons. The skill system lacked depth and creativity, leaving players with a sense of monotony and limited choices. The promise of diverse character classes fell flat as each one felt unbalanced and underwhelming, failing to provide a unique gaming experience.

    Perhaps the most disappointing aspect was the monetization strategy employed in Diablo IV. The game was riddled with microtransactions, which not only disrupted the gameplay but also gave players a distinct pay-to-win advantage. The developers seemed more focused on squeezing money from players than delivering an enjoyable and balanced gaming experience.

    Furthermore, the numerous bugs and glitches encountered during gameplay were simply unacceptable. Frequent crashes, loading issues, and server problems plagued the overall experience, adding to the frustration and diminishing any sense of enjoyment.

    In conclusion, Diablo IV was a colossal disappointment. From its outdated graphics and lackluster storytelling to its subpar gameplay and exploitative microtransactions, the game failed to live up to the legacy of the Diablo series. It lacked the soul and passion that made its predecessors beloved by millions, leaving fans feeling betrayed and let down. Save your money and steer clear of this disappointing installment.    … Expand

The statements that it’s all for the “health of the game” is BS. The future health of the game is THE PLAYERS! Not your idea of what it should be and since you don’t like it, you stop it. Instead of focusing on creating new content, new equipment that might entice people to change their builds, new dungeons (which is basically the only thing to do in endgame besides Helltides), we have continuous messing around with players characters because the developers don’t like how players are playing the game. THE PLAYERS PAID FOR THE GAME! You made a product! Players will play how they want!!

    The devs wanted people to use nightmare dungeons for loot and experience, they increased experience but no no no, now you level up to fast so we’re taking that away and knocking you back 18 ND levels because we hate you and hate your dog. The treasure goblins suck. They don’t give you treasure. You chase down a glowing glob of goo for nothing. The developers don’t like people farming Helltide mystery chests. They raise the price of them. The said it was “a bug” that reduced cinders. If you believe that, don’t. I don’t want to farm dead people on a stick and kick rocks to see if they are under there. The fun was running and killing monsters fast and finding the chests. It’s not like you have a chance to get anything you use in there for anything other than material. So what the problem? The problem was fun for players and pissing developers off that people were playing how they want them to play. Actual good equipment is so rare. You have to assumably play for 1000 hours and still hope you get something. I started the game with my husband as we did with the other Diablos. We have two TVs next to each other. He plays a barbarian, I play a rouge. The unbalanced amount of drops is unreal. He literally got 3-4:1 legendarys or/and horse cosmetics to my character… through the whole game. The worst part, you can’t trade them or give them to your friends! The legendarys are the more crap in the game, why can’t you give them to your friends? How about not dropping equipment that doesn’t belong to your class if you can’t drop it to friends. OR FIX THE STORAGE SPACE! What could have been a good game that was built on, will never be a good game with the people there that are working on it. There’s still server problems and rubber banding, loot is terrible, they keep messing with characters, goblins suck, there’s no cow level, to do anything in the game is expensive and took take farming away to get more gold, they killed Helltides, there’s plenty of equipment to refine to materials, very very very hard to get drops of stuff you can use, experiment gain is butchered…I could just go on and on. Bottom line, Blizzard doesn’t like people playing how they want to play so they kick you and cut you off. They want you to play in their vision of a game. Well FCK that. I paid for the game, I paid for a product to use how I want. You make new content that’s relevant and I use it in my product to change what I want. Instead of chopping characters up, make new and harder monsters to fight at higher levels. I quit the other day after dying multiple times with the build I have in a dungeon level I have been playing easily. Then I checked out a Helltide because I was getting frustrated. That was the final thing that did it for me. This franchise is dead with the people in charge of this one. They don’t care about a good game, they care about keeping you in there for as long as possible.    … Expand

    The game was fun before the patch and now it's terrible!! The patch nerfed damage, added health to mosters, nerfed horse riding speed (due to cool down reduction), added almost twice the time it takes to leave a dungeon (why you ask, no one knows. Maybe the Devs really just hate the players and want us to stop playing) added more

    No end game content. Nerfing everything we like and not listening to community. Good job blizzard another bad game on your list.

    I am begging the devs to play their own game. I’ve never seen such blatant disregard for the community or willful misunderstanding of why people play a Diablo game. NO ONE CARES ABOUT BALANCE IN A SINGLE PLAYER ACTION RPG. Please just let us kill mobs, get loot, eat hot chip and lie.

    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]
