    As a fan of this franchise for ~25 years, I am quite saddened and dismayed by this recent installment for Diablo 4.

    This game is terrible.

    While it does have some interesting elements, the music scoring is incredible and the graphics are nothing short of amazing... It has many, many, MANY, downfalls.

    It was fun and exciting for the campaign, but after that, you level for a bit and progress somewhat when you can explore Nightmare Dungeons, or do Hell Tides, or just farm content. However, you quickly hit a wall in which you cannot progress. This was further amplified by the constant nerfs the developers implemented in various parts of the game.

    The game, now, is no longer something you are able to play and enjoy to reach player power increases. It is, unfortunately, made even worse by the considerable stat affixes that are amazing but never roll on your gear. This frustration is compounded by the introduction of the challenge of farming enough gold to, enable what should be a switch in character builds or specializations only limited by the random drops in the game, and not, be for paying for every system required for the switch. Thus, pulling you deeper into a downward spiral of a time sink, severly limiting play and forward momentum. This will only be exacerbated more during the seasons, when you have a time crunch and also a reset factor. Resent nerfs have made it even worse, clearly designed around the, now clearly apparent philosophy of ABK that: "time spent = content."

    I have already wasted my 120 dollars on this piece of garbage software that is now lining my recycle bin on my desktop. This is the first game in the franchise that I have ever uninstalled and stopped playing due to dissatisfaction with, not only the current version of the game, but also the deep flaws that exist in the character designs and key game mechanics/systems.

    Hold on to your precious dollars. There hundreds of better titles out there. Wait for the expansion and re-evaluate, in my opinion.

    I will not be buying another Activision, Blizzard, King title or anything related to this horrible company that clearly has lost touch with their player base and does not respect their player bases time.    … Expand

    Most of the reviews already said it, the game is trash in current state with possible potential in a few years if they can even save it lol. Hope Lizzard stocks crash and the investors money burns. I think theyre just trolling their customers at this point. I hope a lawsuit happens.

    The game was pretty fun if a bit slow paced compared to older titles in the series, but Blizzard have decided that fun is not allowed and you are not to have a good time with this game. Exp nerfed, survivabity nerfed, fun factor nerfed, Helltides unplayable, For **** Sake they nerfed how long it takes to exit a **** dungeon.

    The patch for Season 1 is the worst patch to a game ever. I would not waste your money on a game where they will just destroy your build because it works. That and the completely nerfed dungeon XP which makes killing anything in them pointless. Its like an alternate universe where Blizzard is Lilith and Lilith wins.

    You CAN'T even buy a premium battle pass if you purchased the 100$ version that came with an accelerated battle pass because the game FORCES you to use it, even though Blizzard explicitly said you can save it for later seasons!

    Sure you can, but if you do you CAN'T get the premium battle pass because the game forces you to use the accelerated battle past first!

    The 1.1.0 patch completely gutted the game, and it was so widely hated they had to do an emergency livestream the following friday just to try and quell the backlash.

    This has been ONE of the BIGGEST flops i've ever seen, honestly.

No end game activities, lots of confusing patches, very repetitive gameplay at the moment, pvp is a mess, and there just isn't enough build diversity to really warrant playing.

    Division 2 did it way better IMO - they had seasons too, players kept their fully leveled-up characters, could start new ones if they wanted, and they kept adding new stuff to the game, in terms of gear sets, new storylines, and super fun unique weapons to play with.    … Expand

The Paragon system should change the playstyle, but it doesn't give you anything significant, just a bit of damage, and it's pathetic how little it affects the gameplay. As for the item system, it's like it doesn't even exist because there are only 50 unique items that are so underwhelming that school kids could come up with better ones than what we got in this game. And don't get me started on the latest update, it turned the game into something even worse, as now the characters that were already weak have become even weaker...… Expand

D4 wants us to do an mmo-like grind and lock us into builds, thus eliminating point 2.

    I remember d3 also had a rough start with auction house and completely unbalanced difficulty tiers, but eventually became great game. I hope d4 can do the same, but d4 core problems seem harder to correct.    … Expand

    This game just keeps getting less and less fun with each patch. This most recent patch was clearly meant to force players off of the eternal realm as everything is "balanced" around the seasonal buffs. Seasonal play should not be mandatory.

    With the addition of patch 1.1 we've received no quality of life changes, no buffs for classes that desperately need them, no stash increase, and no addition of a world tier 5 which the community is desperately asking for. And no actual balancing to make other builds and classes viable. Instead blizzard took the easy way out and nerfed every important stat In the game to the ground.

Thus leaving us weaker, dealing less damage, and taking more of it. Effectively lowering the power ceiling but also drastically lowering the floor. Now leaving us with only 3 viable end game classes out of 5. Not to mention the addition of a new "Uber unique" which more or less is an unobtainable item in the game that has a 1 in 1,000,000 chance of dropping. This can now join the the rest of the "Uber uniques" as a complete waste of developer time and money since most gamers will never see them drop in all of their play time spent in the game.… Expand

    3. The combination of overzealous political correctness, declining development capabilities, and disregard for users makes for an extremely chaotic collaboration.

    As the user's reactions turned negative, they suddenly claim to have unplanned live communication?

    Pros: Lillith is cool

    Cons: -Blizzard is purposefully creating a problem with inventory space to sell a solution later -Camera is too zoomed in -Character creator is terrible, worse than Diablo immortal for some reason -End game revolves around the same dungeon loop -Itemization is really stupid/bad affixes -Stats are bad, Resistances do nothing -no loot filter -Cant give items    Pros: Lillith is cool

    Cons:
    -Blizzard is purposefully creating a problem with inventory space to sell a solution later
    -Camera is too zoomed in
    -Character creator is terrible, worse than Diablo immortal for some reason
    -End game revolves around the same dungeon loop
    -Itemization is really stupid/bad affixes
    -Stats are bad, Resistances do nothing
    -no loot filter
    -Cant give items to alts due to level req. being at dropped level
    -no social systems even though marketed as mmo-lite
    -The Illusion of Choice - You get to pick 6 abilities except not really because each class has 2-3 abilities that are a must for all builds plus an ult. have fun choosing your two abilities barb players.
    -Dev Team wont fix problems in the game because season 1 was shipped, then proceeded to nerf every single class as well as exp. gained

    False Cons: Not pros but not cons
    -Scaling levels with enemies - Seems like a bad idea but not that bad when you hit end game as content becomes static for NM dungeons and other events
    -Simplicity- Builds look cookie cutter and they are but the paragon board post 50 adds a decent amount of complexity to builds

    Overall: Give this game 2 years and it might be good. In its current state, it is only fun for the campaign and falls off hard after. theory crafting builds is not fun due to itemization and lack of balancing from the devs.
    If you like games like diablo 4, I would recommend Path of Exile, Last Epoch, Grim Dawn, Torch Light 2, or even the previous diablo games over d4. This game needs a lot more Quality of Life, more content, and more classes    … Expand

    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.
