    I honestly feel terrible for some people working hard to make this a good game, because the art is honestly good. The endgame is abysmal though. Please just wait to release a full game next time. RIP my $70.

    This game was released unfinished, unbalanced, full of bugs, and severely underwhelming for a AAA game company who already has experience in ARPG's.

    Story and Cutscene is very good. Patch politics. Mount is horrible.

    terrible game. Although it's not a big amount, it's the first time I've had a waste of money buying a game.

    Played at Pre-release. Game was fun, storyline was great. It really felt open and adventurous. Finish the story line @level 45/50. Grind out Paragons and builds to 100.

    The story is okay if you want to buy the game just for that, but they ruined the game with microtransactions, expensive season passes, unnecessary nerfs in season 1. I hope they would make the next seasons better.

    I loved the previous Diablo games. Getting loot kept me up all night until the break of dawn. With Although Diablo 4 has cool new features, it seems like the core game itself isn't all there. The easiest example, I've found myself falling asleep and dying while playing!

    Believe me, don't waste your time and money on this horrible game. The game designers are trying their best to make you feel awful. They promised they would not nerf any bd in the middle of the season, but oops, sorry , I did it again "coincidentally"! Shame on you Blizzard.

    I'm a long-time fan of the series, played every Diablo so far. When you choose to create a game that doesn't work offline, is expected that that game will work online. This simply isn't the case in Diablo IV. If you want to own a big regret, you should buy this piece of crap.

    All the problems have been well described by others already, because they're painfully obvious. Soulless gameplay, loot, and a UI that's stunningly poorly designed.

    There are a hundred better games for less money. Don't forget your battlepass!

    Simple as this:

    "Stop holding out hope that Blizzard is coming back. Everyone who founded Blizzard, all the principles that Blizzard was founded upon, they're gone or they're dead. They've been desecrated. So, let Blizzard go. Stop holding out hope that they're coming back, because they're not."

    The worst game in the series...

    Ye, sure there is enchanting thing to reroll 1 affix, but since there are tons of them, getting the one you desire is a miracle run (not to say the enchanting gets progresively more expensive so you can afford only a few tries...)

    Also there is NOT A SINGLE REASON to go higher level dungeons since loot is based on YOUR level and not dungeons (thats just straight up bs, not even in a funny way)

    Out of good things: the graphics and souns is really good

    THIS IS NOT THE GAME I WAS DOING NOTHING FOR!
    (the game deserves like 2 or 3, but im an impulsive guy so im giving it straight 0/10)

    EDIT: The game should have never came out on consoles because of stupid targeting system and idiotic horse riding. Good its not my problem anymore since i just smashed my copy of the game into bits (i feel relieved actually and not regreting a thing, well maybe buying it at first place)    … Expand

    A Disastrous Disappointment: Diablo 4 Fails Gamers on Every Level

    I recently made the grave mistake of shelling out a jaw-dropping $130 for Diablo 4, expecting a gaming experience that would be worth its weight in gold. What I got instead was an absolute disaster that left me questioning the sanity of the developers and the sanity of anyone who actually enjoys this travesty. Let's    A Disastrous Disappointment: Diablo 4 Fails Gamers on Every Level

    I recently made the grave mistake of shelling out a jaw-dropping $130 for Diablo 4, expecting a gaming experience that would be worth its weight in gold. What I got instead was an absolute disaster that left me questioning the sanity of the developers and the sanity of anyone who actually enjoys this travesty.

    Let's start with the most glaring issue: the lack of WASD support. In an era where gaming has evolved to cater to various player preferences and abilities, Diablo 4 has decided to regress back to the Stone Age. Who on Earth thought that denying players the basic freedom of using WASD controls was a good idea? Apparently, the developers are either blissfully unaware of the gaming landscape or simply sadistic, reveling in the suffering of players with arthritis, carpal tunnel, or any other disability that makes traditional controls difficult.

    But oh, don't worry, because apparently having control options isn't supposed to translate to good gameplay. No, according to the masterminds behind Diablo 4, we're all just supposed to adapt to their archaic control scheme and be grateful for the privilege of enduring their nonsensical design choices. Because who needs player accessibility and comfort when you can frustrate your audience to the point of tears?

    And let's not even get started on the price tag. $130 for a game that's stuck in the past, not even bothering to acknowledge the basic standards of user-friendly controls? It's as if the developers are actively trying to rob players blind while simultaneously flipping them the middle finger. Congratulations, Blizzard, you've managed to outdo yourselves in creating a product that redefines the meaning of buyer's remorse.

    In conclusion, Diablo 4 is a catastrophic failure on every conceivable level. Its lack of WASD support is a slap in the face to gamers with disabilities, and the notion that control options are somehow irrelevant to good gameplay is mind-bogglingly absurd. Save your hard-earned money and precious time for a game that actually respects its players and embraces modern gaming conventions. Diablo 4 is a prime example of how not to make a game, and I can only hope that the developers come to their senses before inflicting more misery upon unsuspecting players.    … Expand

    Releasing a none finished game made by 5000 people without any guidance or skilled people within gaming, pure trash that will take another 3 years to finish when it maybe gets good. Another max profit do not care about gamers release from a company that does not care about games.

    After playing this game for just a week, you realize that it has nothing more to do. But it's clear that even the developers haven't played their games for two days.
    I think games should be developed by people who know how to play games.

    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]
