    Blizzard really pulled a bait and switch on me with this one, these crafty little goblins. They released the game in a state where the casual andy's and reviewers enjoy it and then pull a patch in season 1 to make the game grindier for more player retention.

They did the same thing to me with Overwatch 1, I payed full price for a game I loved only to have it completely destroyed and remade into Overwatch 2 which I absolutely hate. This company has really gone to crap. I remember being 8 years old and loving Blizzard and daydreaming about all of the amazing games they could make in the future with better technology. Yet I keep falling for their dirty tricks every time.. Tomorrow they'll stay Starcraft 3!! And then 8 year old loses his mind and becomes a little boy again and has to play it and get his hands on it... I need to grow up man, I can't let this company does this to me anymore. Hopefully I'll learn my lesson this time...… Expand

Patch 1.1.0a happened, though, and as a result I'm actually giving the first zero I've ever given in any review on any site. Without fixing anything the community considered a problem, the patch gutted player damage output and survivability, across the board. Nerfs happen, we all know that. In this instance, however, there's a strong case to be made that they simply felt players were getting too far too fast, and that crippling them would further sales of their season pass tier skips. I've never seen a worse patch, much less a worse first major patch, and unless Blizzard reverses course, I'm done with the game. Right now, I just feel like a sucker for imagining they'd actually done something right.… Expand

    Predatory "Acclerate Battlepass" Button is a lawsuit waiting to happen

    The Dev's actually said "We know our game isn't fun, we will make it fun in the future"

    Season is just the normal game with a garbage gem system that makes you hope for RNG colours on your gear.

    Hearts are inventory space hoggers, you can't even scrap them in every town.
    You have to go to Keovoshad or to his little wagon to use his workbench.

    No QOL Changes, NO INVENTORY UPDATES, it is a joke.

    Don't buy it, and chargeback if you don't care about your account getting banned.

    -----------------------------------

    Campaign is alright, itemization is backwards, end game is a joke.

    I asked for a refund, but had spent too much time on the beta weekends apparently.

    They are nerfing the only way to explore the game with crushing the open world xp / monster level.

    Still haven't gotten my beta pup

    Huge disappointment, the only reason I have played it is the friends I that I'm going to play LE with instead.    … Expand

    Just like diablo 3 is a downgrade from diablo 2, this is a downgrade from even diablo 3, with microtransactions. In the 2000s there's a lot of lame Korean grindy online games inspired by diablo 2; this thing plays just like those abominations.

    The game could be good, but the people making the game keeps making it worse with new patches. Blizzard is not the same it once was, the people working at Blizzard ain't same and I think everyone can see this. They only makes the game worse instead of better with patches. Other companies i prove the game, but Blizzard are fifferent and make it worse..

    The game is rather repetitive and lacks depth. It was sold as a $70 experience, plus there is a recurring cost with seasons. I think the game is hardly worth the cost. The only place where the game excels is in the graphics department, but then I'd rather spend $80 on subscribing to a streaming service or buying a couple of 4k blurays. I regret buying it — would recommend others pass.

    Pros

    Game looks good Story is ok. Cons It runs fairly bad with stuttering and memory leaks. Itemization is extremely bad. Has a battle pass. Dungeon design is horrible filled with endless back tracking. Events in dungeons have npc's that need to be protected but don't scale with dungeon level so they die from anything.

    Story is ok.

    Cons

    It runs fairly bad with stuttering and memory leaks.

    Itemization is extremely bad.

    Has a battle pass.

    Dungeon design is horrible filled with endless back tracking.

    Events in dungeons have npc's that need to be protected but don't scale with dungeon level so they die from anything.

    Respecing at max level involves over 450 clicks....

    End game is boring with only helltides and nightmare dungeons.

    World bosses have such long respawn timers and terrible spawn times.

    Getting upgrades at 75+ is slow if not impossible with uber uniques drop rates lower than winning the lottery.

    Builds for each class all have a majority of slots taken by the same few skills leaving 1 or 2 slots free.

    Game balance is awful some classes have multiple viable builds where others have none.

    Dev team is of extremely poor quality and it shows with the continuous tone death patches and responses to community feed back.

    Inventory is very limited with one shared stash for 10 characters.

    Constant nerfing of xp, drop rates, items, aspects, skills, and modifiers to slow down gameplay making it feel even more unrewarding like a working in a coal mine instead of playing a game.

    tldr this game is extremely flawed and it is nobodies fault but the developers and higher ups it's not worth spending your time or money on this cash grab.    … Expand

    The game freezes when you cast Shadow Step, or when is loading a new area. Also is insanely repetitive - 200 identical dungeons obviously auto generated.

    Last patch completely killed the game. I paid $100 for this game, started out enjoying myself, only to have them pull the rug out from under me a month in. I’ve uninstalled it, and have finally learned my lesson: no more Blizzard slop.

    Basically theres no endgame, when you reach lvl 70 youre done, only thing you can do is grinding for better items.
    Nightmare Dungeons are boring and not giving better loot, Diablo 3 rifts were better. Everyone is using yellow items upgraded to legandarys, almost every unique ist absolut crap and are not usefull for endgame Builds except 2-3 items like the tempest roar for druids.

    Had to create an account just to write this review. Leaving the ongoing rubber banding issues aside, the patch was the straw that broke the camel's back. I was playing as a sorcerer and I'm just gonna bin it. Can't even return the damn game. Definitely uninstalling it. This was a moneygrab without quality delivery.

    What I like about this game?
    - it looks very cool, more like D2 (and i LOVE D2)
    - gameplay is nice
    BUT
    Lags are huge and a sometimes game crashes makes this game hard to play for me (and I have pretty nice PC, no other game is so laggy for me like this one).
    PvP is very very bad, worst PvP I have ever seen.

    I can’t believe it was even possible to make such horrible game. These are not the people who made D2. I won’t repeat all arguments why it is bad in all its aspects. I want a refund. I can’t recall if I ever wanted a refund before, but I want now. This is even worse than f2p trash. I forced myself to even finish campaign. Deleted after it right away. Waste of money.

    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]
