    This game is terrible. Blizzard is dead. It's not the same good Diablo from Blizzard North.
    Don't support this terrible company. You will get exploited, playing their purposefully worse game just so their "engagement numbers" are up for the shareholders. Yuck! Avoid this like the plague.

    O jogo tinha bugs, até aí okay, mas nerfarem miseravelmente o dano/armadura/resistência na maioria das classes é muito amadorismo. Nota zero

    Too many ridiculous examples you can search from internet , such as helltide chest / class changes / items & stats changes . They even think fixing a NPC Camal's "sound" is more important than the players .
    Their response always excuses to "bugs" , but many know they are testing the baseline of players .

    I played D2 D3 WOW COD , and I think this D4 maybe the last product I bought from this **** company , unless they are giving a sincerely apologizes & admit their brainless decisions all along the DEV. and management .    … Expand

    After thirty years of developing Diablo games, Blizzard forgot every important lesson about how to make these games fun. Items are boring, the map is just an endless slog, movement is slow, the game is both always-on and completely empty, you can't trade items, your bags get full, skills are boring, etc.

    I can't understand why they didn't bring a single QOL feature from the last decade's worth of Diablo 3! Early in 3, items were boring, builds were bland, crafting materials used too much space, etc. But after some major rework - items were fun, builds were unique, crafting materials use very little space, etc. And when Diablo 4 launches - why did they make their items boring, their builds bland, their crafting materials use too much space? Why can't they play their own games and try to include the "fun" from them?

    This game is shockingly bad, and while you may have some fun with it, the game itself has very little to offer.    … Expand

    The game never left beta. Patch 1.1 makes me question if the developers even enjoy playing games or if this is some conspiracy to get everyone to go outside more for the Summer. I would love to try out the seasonal mechanics but it is clear that Blizzard is just staring at a spreadsheet to see what people are using only to take that away without understanding the logic behind their moves.The game never left beta.

I would love to try out the seasonal mechanics but it is clear that Blizzard is just staring at a spreadsheet to see what people are using only to take that away without understanding the logic behind their moves. I had fun with this title at release but the paper thin endgame is awful and the XP grind is brutal (made even more brutal with the newest patch for some baffling reason). I may come back with a proper expansion but if anybody has not picked up this title yet, I would seriously urge patience. The D4 team is learning as they go and it seems like it is going to take quite some time to understand why people actually want to play their game.… Expand

    Everything about the game is overtly tuned to waste as much of your time as possible.

    Ability cooldowns are exhausting and define the pace of gameplay. PvP is a literal game of duck-duck-goose to see whose wombo combo will proc first. Enchanter options have been reduced so you have less possible outcomes with exponentially increasing costs that can eliminate several hours worth of gold for a few rolls. It takes around 20x longer to reach max level as it did in Diablo 3.

    All of the seasonal rewards can be purchased directly for around $125 (so you don't need to play the season to get them), and the game prominently features "microtransactions" for cosmetics that can run $25 a pop.

    Forget the fun you had playing Diablo 2 & 3. Old Blizzard is dead.    … Expand

    If you want to be positive, you can say there is a good skeleton for a game here.
    Otherwise, it's just another failure. Yes, the artstyle is nice, the story certainly better than D3, cutscenes are pretty good... but ultimately that doesn't matter much in a game like this.

    What matters is loot and the way you progress. It mostly sucks here for now.

    Patch ruined the fun of the game. Seems like a ploy by the devs to slow down the game and force everyone to grind 100s of hours for much less content.

    Those 4 idiots that keep doing community campfires probably never played a Diablo game before. You can tell by the way they approach patches and fixes. They have no clue of what they're doing. The incompetence level is just overwhelming. How can you be so clueless and still manage to keep your job? I really don't know.
    Worst Diablo game ever. Congratulations.

    + Graphics
    + Voice acting

    Negatives:
    - Poor itemization
    - No end-game loop
    - Poor build diversity at end-game
    - Massive costs to respec
    - Massive costs to re-enchant
    - Game feels unfinished, it feels like I paid $99 to be an open beta tester

I guess Blizzard making a game to please everyone, made a great game at pleasing nobody. Casual Players (like Myself will leave as its boring after a while, and hardcore ARPG fans will leave as there are better alternatives to play) I feel the aim to make the console controls hurt the skill variety available and that could be fixed with load outs, the loot fills the LIMITED chest space so fast. I played the game in World Tier 2 and it was easy, like boring easy… put my brain in autopilot and before you know it I’m at the end, and wishing I spent my time on another game. Really sad Blizzard used to make amazing games that were fun and have focused on making an endless chore game where you hopefully pay more money on top of a $70 game… Was fun for about 20 hours then it’s over… So if you want a 20 hour game I guess it’s ok, but if you expected a 200+ hour game it is not… Maybe like D3 it will get fixed. But I think it’s a case of a lot of potential, and just not there yet, maybe it will turn into something good, but its boring now.… Expand

    The story is pretty good but as with many "live service" games the developers are completely ignorant and ignore the community. Last patch nerfed every single build costing people hours of grinding and destroying the pace of the game. Avoid this game for the foreseeable future.

    If you've ever wondered why D4 limits nearby players to 10-15, as opposed to hundreds of players in every other game, is because the way D4 loads other players' stashes. For some reason Blizzard coded this game in a way in which you load everyone's inventory and all stash tabs. An unnecesary waste of memory and bandwidth, but at least Blizzard has been honest about it.    … 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.

    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]
