    While it doesn’t revolutionize the genre, it takes a lot of what 3 did, darkens it back to its roots, adds build versatility without being too complex(people may still think it’s simplistic but it’s definitely more complex than Diablo 3), and adds some MMO elements without being toooo invasive in my opinion.

    While it doesn’t revolutionize the genre, it takes a lot of what 3 did, darkens it back to its roots, adds build versatility without being too complex(people may still think it’s simplistic but it’s definitely more complex than Diablo 3), and adds some MMO elements without being toooo invasive in my opinion.

    The combat feels good and the leveling doesn’t feel too slow. The classes feel different enough. One thing Blizzard still seems to have with the right team and amount of time, IS good game feel. The sounds and the visuals are satisfying and the builds don’t feel one dimensional as Diablo 3 did and you actually can have versatile subtypes within each class like how a druid can build to focus on being a werebear tank, a wind/lightning mage, an animal whisperer, or a combination of it all. Similar with other classes too how sorcerers can have different elemental specializations and mix and match with beautiful and bright effects and punchy sounds.

    The story seems to be one of those you either love it or you hate it.

    It’s also a better sequel to Diablo 3 than Overwatch 2 was to Overwatch 1(which blizzard released as basically the same game lol).

    Diablo IV does feel different enough and strikes a good combination of simple and complex.

    And it’s an ARPG. You play it for the fun explosions and effects and getting better and better loot which this satisfies pretty well.

    Sadly, as of launch, there isn’t MUCH to do in the endgame when you hit the later/max levels, but they have plans for seasons and expansions to add more. The leveling process and the classes themselves are fun though and you’ll get a ton of enjoyment out of it.

    Edit: As of the Season 1 patch I can’t in good conscience recommend this game anymore. Anything that was bad is doubled down and anything that was remotely fun is nerfed. Leveling was slowed down, classes already gutted, itemization not addressed, endgame activities heavily nerfed.

    Maybe I’ll edit this if they fix it but maybe I won’t bother like they don’t seem to bother with this game.

    They've done it again folks! Go check out Atlas Fallen, D4 is a grind game with little feeling of accomplishment or power with a dedicated team that only focuses on slowing the game down to cover up the lack of content.

    Kiiled the game with the latest patch. Blizzard is using the "bait and switch" to trick people into buying a classic game with a strong player base, then rapidly changing the game through "QOL" updates only to kill the fun in the game. Get ready for some abysmal Season 1 stats...

    Blizzard is trying to make and Loot based ARPG MMO, without rewarding loot system. An ARPG without action. A MMO without a social system.
    It tries to be everything, and fails on every aspect.

    This "game" has only the looks of a a diablo game, there is no real gameplay or endgame that keeps players to enjoy it. The live service and mmo light is just there to sell you more crap from the real money only store, also they gut your progress every 3 month and force you to play seasons.

    Why would we think Diablo 4 would be any different after the Diablo 3 blunders. Even though the game was missing dept and balancing in the endgame at least it was playable and somewhat enjoyable. The latest patch is the opposite of what has been asked for and the developers talked about. It is also way too early and literally made the game unplayable for many of us.

    Originally when diablo4 came out, I thought the game was rushed, but I still had hopes as I really loved playing D3 and I figured they'd learn from their mistakes and add the good things.

    Since launch we have not had integral features that D3 has had for over a decade: IE: Seeing what enchantment's are available per items at the enchantress, a LEADERBOARD, working resistances, build
    Originally when diablo4 came out, I thought the game was rushed, but I still had hopes as I really loved playing D3 and I figured they'd learn from their mistakes and add the good things.

    Since launch we have not had integral features that D3 has had for over a decade:

    IE: Seeing what enchantment's are available per items at the enchantress, a LEADERBOARD, working resistances, build diversity, yes there were "best builds" but all builds were viable to an extent.
    This has then changed into a game that has little no no build diversity - only one or two builds per class which mainly spam one button is the best option available. Not near the skill customization like in D3 with changing damage types of each ability, etc.

    Now today they release the awful notes that butcher every classes damage - losing Vuln and crit would have been understandable - but then they take away Cool down reduction too.

    As a Sorc main, who loved the ice shards machine gun build - the build is basically destroyed, no survivability as it was due to broken resistances - now they take away roughly 60% of people's damage and I can't do the same NMD's I could do with ease two days ago.

    I was contemplating playing another class on the new season to try something new, but we all got butchered and nerfed.

    I uninstalled. I'm done. they need to fix everything they've ruined or I'm not coming back.

    Review gets a 1 because I have seen worse. This recent patch however gutted ever class, but the weakest class in the game took the biggest hit. I log in only to find my Sorc doing 80% less damage than before the patch. This isn't playable, and judging at how long it takes them to fix something (if they even fix it), I'll be long done with D4 before that day comes.

    It goes to show that Blizzard does not respect the player's time. It really seems like they did their best to increase the in-game time by dragging the game out just so they can show their stakeholders increased hours played. Oh nelly will this ever backfire on them.

The suits above, or whoever is in charge of making the game focused on "player engagement/playtime" has ruined the game. Slows its pacing down so you spend more time grinding away at the same content you've already experienced over and over.

    They want you to spend more time leveling, playing through the story, dying over and over again to simple monsters, because forget survivability in a ARPG game, you want glass cannon! So maybe, just maybe, you'll look at the cosmetics shop and buy something because you're that bored, so its worth it for them in the end.

    They don't respect your time as a gamer, you shouldn't have to respect their game.

    Content made more challenging, on top of stripping player power.

    Hell tides reduced drop rates on embers to trash and increased the only chest worth farmings cost by 50%

    Reduced or removed over land drops.


    The patch notes literally should read, we want to make this as painful and time consuming as possible and we're going to give you NOTHING to make it worth that challange we just want to artificially increase the time it takes to reach end game.


    They simply could have scaled the endgame to make it more challenging but instead they want to turn a game meant to be for entertainment into a grind on par with using a giant cheese grater as a slippinslide.

    Bought this game for mmo and live service aspects. Terrible approach from blizzard! Game was in a bad condition after level 80, now its terrible. Rather than adding contents they are encouraging doing the same thing over and over. Player base had high expectations butt they fail to deliver.

    Monsters level with the player. Nuff said. What's the point of the game? A level one character is just as powerful as a level 100 character, in PVE. There is zero reason to play this game.

    I´ve had an okay ~ish time while playing the story. But for a way to short timeframe for this amount of money.
    There is only one disstatisfying ending, which just shows that they had no interest to spend even an ounce more money for storywriting.
    And this continiues on in an endless grindfest they call "Endgame". Instead of actual content they expect you to play this dumpster dive

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Does good things in some categories, and very poorly in others. Unfortunately the poorly designed categories outweigh what is done well in the game.

    Starting with the good stuff:
    in the first play through you experience a quite joyful campaign. Characters feel visually appealing as your progress and find ways that items and skills further enhance your playthrough. Cinematics in the game are some of the best I've personally seen, and sound/audio is nicely designed within the game.

    The Ugly:
    While combat, first run in the campaign, cinematics and sound may appear pleasant at first, the daunting tasks and playstyle ahead is what completely ruins the game afterwards. The largest and biggest issue within the game currently lies within its itemization design, and even more troubling is that this is meant to be a loot-based ARPG, that focuses on the loot systems and designs. During the play through you gear up in Tiers 1 and/or 2, to progress into Tier 3. In Tier 3, you are met with Sacred items that are more powerful than your current ones. This period is really meant for you to progress to Tier 4, which now introduces Ancestral Items, same thing, just more powerful. As this alone is unexciting and more of a chore, the items themselves contain a massive amount of non-simplistic affixes that further hinder enjoyment. The items do not feel rewarding and are not special in any way really, therefore you are just bombarded with random items that you end up spending more time on shuffling in the inventory than you do enjoying any gameplay. The progression in items is so lackluster that they generally provide you with extremely minimal increases in power on of top not providing any unique design to items themselves. While there are unique items in the game, there are very few of them. And things only get worse from here, these items are locked to your character level, as well as only tradable if they are rare items, therefore excluding any uniques and legendaries to be traded to others. Now there are restrictions on what you are able to trade (which is practically nothing) and only able to use your well deserved finds on characters that meet the high level requirement on alternate characters. So now as you grind, you are showered with useless "rare" items and a few uniques (which you will have several copies of) only to end up having to sit and read what feels like pages of affixes in order to make a decision on whether you want to change your build 0.1% this way or that way. The are also no other uses for any of these items as trading is restricted and the only type of "crafting" in the game is re-rolling an affix on an item.

    This entire chore filled and very repetitive and very little rewarding itemization system does not fulfill any kind of excitement for loot or building of a character, especially in later levels as there is nothing else to look forward to. You will simply grind the same content, with very very little upgrades ever provided to you, and a guarantee shower of useless items that you will not know what to do with.

    There are several more issues that itemization presents that would be too long to elaborate on. Other issues are the social aspect of the game. As this is a "MMO" there aren't any great ways of actually communicating with others, which also seems shocking. The is no trade chat (trading is non existent anyway), no global chat, and a very unsatisfying local channel. Currently the best way to find others is through third-party apps such as discord.

    World boss and other events do not provide anything meaningful in the game. Most world bosses are defeated within the first couple minutes, occur every 6 hours, and provide you with the same useless gear as the rest of the game.

    Overall, this is a very disappointing release of another Diablo series, while I was personally very excited for the game and played it to lvl 100 on top of a second character to T4, there is little excitement to any gameplay. It is a shame as the Diablo series that I assume most hoped for, is yet again not what we expected. And by far the largest disappointment is the way they designed items, what you can do with them, how they feel, and the very underwhelming experience they provide in gameplay.

    As a long long fan of Diablo, I unfortunately do not recommend this game.

    A console game with PC port. Even as a PC player, I have to admit the game feels better on console, which it was designed for.
    It's just not ready or worth the time.
    There is no endgame. It just stops. There is nothing to do.
    The first season was announced. It is no where near enough to keep an active player base.

    Imagine having unlimited money and teams of hundreds of people developing your game and this is the "trash" you come up with. There are developers out here that are innovating the industry on their own and a team of four freshman from ITT tech could make a better game than this is a month. It's astounding the level of con artistry we put up with as consumers.

    1. All of the Events, skills and playstyles are just reskinned from Diablo 3.

    2. The entire games design is based around being "annoying" not "difficult"

    3. Everything is meant to slow you down, not speed you up. This is antithetical to ARPG design.

    4. Half or more of the information on skills, abilities and items are bugged or simply do not do what they say.

    5. It's more repetitive than Diablo immortal. The entire arc of the game revolves around the same two things. Dungeons and World Events. Even half your quests are just generic dungeon crawls with uninspired layouts and boss mechanics.

    We really should be able to sue companies for this kind of behavior.

A lot of core features aren't functioning well or lacking entirely from the game. The character game play is great, but there is hardly any interaction with the monsters you fight. This makes it hard to implement proper difficulty. You either get one-shot or face no challenge. The grind is somewhat addicting, but serves no purpose as there is no endgame.

    Its a good looking cash grab with some potential. The state and lack of soul at release is disheartening, as the experience of the game was clearly a second thought.

    The systems are just right for an approach where everything is a side grade by you increase in power anyway. The progression in everything you do is so satisfying if you're casually around. This is the first arpg i've played where you can say they actually "tried" to tell a story. Thats a new one for me and i like it. The edge lord content keeps you awake in otherwise mindless repetition and offline theorycrafting. Same effect as vermintide. Its really well balanced as well, feels better than modern tv shows that do the same for my tender brain anyway.

    Even the upcoming seasonal battle pass.. is loaded with.. cosmetics! and it seems like most of will be possible just by participation rewards.

    So.. i don't doubt the other scores, but if you land somewhere in the middle to high end of casual.. its like they made the game for us. I wouldn't bother if i didn't think of myself as a gamer causal, or an arpg nolifer, i don't think either demographics are getting served to the high price of entry.

    Leveling up does not feel good at all. Feels like nothing is changing. Playing as a sorcecer is super bad IMO. Low level you are constantly dying due to skills being weak. High level you are just slowly ticking damage down while standing and spamming spells as they become available.

    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]
