    The campaign is fun but not worth the 70 dollars, the late game is like a boring job where you have to repeat the same thing over and over for nothing. Not worth more than 30 dollars.

    They kill the game very patch possible. Dont even bother do play. 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.

    This game is terrible. I wish I paid so much money for it. Once again, I believed all these stories about the great, from the small game studio Blizzard. Baldur's Gate 3 is out now, which has a more interesting demo than the full version of Diablo 4

I tried to go back to the very first small village i started the game in and the monsters there were EXACTLY as difficult as when i first saw them that can be said for the rest of my 30 hr journey in D4.

    Then since i played the sorc class the field of view (FOV) started to really annoy me. AS a ranged class you cant help but to play the same as melee since camera distance is SO CLOSE and the angle is so bad you cant see anything until you are almost on top of it! Camera felt nauseating aswell.

    After about the third village it the world and the monsters started to look and feel the same everywhere i went. By then the story had lost all momentum and i was left to aimlessly wander (that was about 5th hour mark)

    After that was more of the same and when i understood that i didnt like the game at all it was too late to refund it´.

    DONT FALL INTO THE SAME TRAP I DID!
    WATCH THE TRAILERS THATS THE BEST PART OF THE GAME AND ITS FREE!

    PS. I regret wasting my money. I have never paid that much for a computer game.    … Expand

    Throughout Diablo 4's development, it became painfully evident that the developers had little interest in listening to the community and understanding what made the previous games so beloved.

Instead of valuing player feedback, they seemed to ignore the passionate fan base's pleas for certain features, balance adjustments, and improvements. This lack of communication and disregard for the community's desires led to a game that feels like a watered-down version of its predecessors. Core elements that players loved, such as deep character customization, engaging endgame content, and a sense of accomplishment, were either neglected or poorly implemented. As a result, the game lost its charm and the excitement that players once had, leaving them disillusioned and disconnected from a franchise they once cherished. It's truly disheartening to witness a game's potential squandered due to the developers' refusal to embrace player input and deliver an experience that could have been so much more enjoyable.

    To add insult to injury, the server stability is laughable. Constant lag spikes and disconnections make the already dull gameplay experience downright frustrating. It's infuriating to see a game with such a big budget and development time fail so spectacularly in basic server management.

    In conclusion, Diablo 4 is a pitiful attempt at cashing in on the franchise's name while offering nothing but disappointment to long-time fans. From its lackluster graphics and shallow gameplay to its convoluted plot and predatory microtransactions, there's little redeeming value to be found. As a long-time Diablo fan, I can only hope that this abomination is a wake-up call for the developers to return to the series' roots and deliver a game worthy of the Diablo legacy. Until then, steer clear of this mess and save your money for something that actually respects its players.    … Expand

    Game was covered by an awesome story and animations but once you dig deep itemization sucks which was supposed to be the heart of any arpg game such as Diablo. It’s true that the old Blizzard is dead. Pre-season was decent 6/10 but from there just down the drain. Will not pre order Blizzard games on the foreseeable future.

    Not good. Stupid story. Easy. Boring. Bugs. Grind.

    Diablo 4 appears to have one primary function: to waste your time. Every feature seems deliberately designed to maximize time consumption. I managed to reach level 50 in a mere two days, yet the slog to level 62 required a considerable grind through Paragon levels.

    Beware not to be drawn in by the enticing first act; the game is fundamentally raw and bereft of substance. The open world is disappointingly sparse, and the monotony sets in swiftly as you explore and quest.

    The storyline is frankly stupid, with hollow characters that lack depth and intrigue. This 'new Diablo' is a disappointing offering from the contemporary Blizzard team.

    The difficulty curve is wildly inconsistent. Despite a level cap of 50, if you complete all quests in the first act and conquer all the dungeons on T2, you'll conclude the first act at around levels 40-45, creating a disconcerting imbalance.

    The loot system is nonsensical. At level 62, I'm still clinging onto legendaries from level 30+ due to their superior stats. Additionally, the first act leaves you almost fully equipped with legendary items, rendering the presence of white and blue items in the game meaningless.

    Post-game content is barren and monotonous, revolving solely around grinding for keys. Despite my efforts, T4 remains inaccessible, as I can't defeat the necessary boss. Yet, I've managed to clear 20 keys, each swarming with 70+ mobs, with surprising ease.

    However, credit must be given where it's due. Diablo 4 does offer an addictive gameplay loop, and there's potential for future improvement. My hope lies in the developers' ability to patch the existing bugs and inject more meaningful content. As it stands, it feels as though there's little to do unless you're an ardent fan or you've grown weary of Path of Exile.    … 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.

    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]
