    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. They obviously don't play video games. Good graphics and storyline but I would not recommend this game to even my worst enemy. More bugs than a picnic basket at the park. The patches are always to fix bugs and nerf characters in some way. Please stay away from this game there are many other options. There is even news to where the developer themselves said to play another game while playing this one. To current players I apologize but nerfing cool down reduction was the one for me. It felt slow as is already and reducing cool down reduction was simply just to hurt the players and waste more time. There was absolutely no reason for this nerf because it was not powerful just made the game play bearable to play the least.… Expand

    The last patch killed the game. They made the game just more boring, farming xp longer, and did not fox any issue reported by players. Disappointing from Blizzard

    Disappointed that there are no quality-of-life changes to the base game and recent changes have made the eternal (standard) realm less fun to play.

    Weirdly boring, not fun, feels like a chore, can barely get the enthusiasm to keep playing. Yes it's a return to the tone of the earlier games.

    Blizzard ruined the game with patch 1.1. Save your money and possibly revisit this title in 1-2 years once it has been fixed.

    Players are frustrated with the overall state of the game, describing it as boring, slow, and repetitive even before the latest patch. The nerfs to characters and overpowered mobs have made the gameplay even more frustrating, leading some to uninstall the game and demand refunds for pre-orders.    … Expand

    The Game had its flaws, seasons was meant to be what we were waiting for, instead they nerfed everything. xp and lvling were rough but now they are unbearable clearly blizzard have no idea what their fans want, the game is unplayable making already annoyed fans like myself quit the game until they fix it or just move on entirely. This game will die completely in its current state.

    At the release of season 1 there were high hopes that the developers would provide solutions and novelties to give this desperately needed dopamine kick. Instead, they massively reduced everything that remained enjoyable, and slowed down the progress of the game to mask its glaring lack of content.
    No Quality-of-Life improvements (stash, search function, zoom out ...) Terrible ...

    Never has a developer team disrespected its players so much and yet another proof that Blizzard is only a shadow of what it has been in the past.

    Do not waste your money on this. I feel like such an idiot right now. You have been warned.
    Such a high priced AAA title and then they can spoil the game at any point with their updates.
    They have just done so and so again I warn you, do not waste your money on this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 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.… Expand

    Hard to say anything good, I have played all of the diablo series and must admit this game Is byfar the worst experience. I have over 15 years playing the series and not happy with blizzard and how they nerf everything into the ground. They have no clue what the community wants and just scales off everyone at the top 5 pct.

    Before lvl 50 - horrible grind in strong holds and redoing all the slow and boring quests. After lvl 50 the game becomes even more horrible having to do the same nine S- and A-tier nightmare dungeons over and over and over again. Finding items is no fun at all, since almost every unique is useless due to developers not giving them good stats, and legendaries are just "aspect holders".

Finding items is no fun at all, since almost every unique is useless due to developers not giving them good stats, and legendaries are just "aspect holders". I would estimate 1 in about 1000 rare items have the stats you want, so be prepared to sort out yellow items like you have never done in your entire life. It's like doing the laundry again and again for hours but you will never get finished. Open world had potential to be fun, but they killed it with patch 1.1 when open world mobs are capped 5 levels below you, so it is just a waste of time. This also makes questing worthless once you hit World Tier 4, so if you saves some quests you will get nothing from them. I was looking forward to this game a lot, and was prepared to forgive many issues, but the game is broken in so many ways that I cannot see how they will put this together into a fun game at all. Also, difficulty scaling is among the most broken I have ever seen. Before World tier 4 everything feels slow and it takes time to kill stuff and move around, and once you get a few upgrades in World Tier 4 everything suddenly is way too easy, and you will be killing world and dungeon bosses in just a few seconds.… Expand

    Poor itemization.
    Poor game Pace.
    Poor EndGame. Poor class design.
    And, as of not ALL this was enough, a patch do Destroy every minute that the comunity spent searching and farming for items to construct their chars.

    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]
