    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Was a pretty fun game with a good foundation. Then the devs decided to nerf all the characters, absolutely bury Sorcerer, make the game just a little less fun and more grindy. Really shows an out of touch development team and company, they didn't listen to any of the players complaints.… Expand

    The game in not even beta, missing a lot of content and balance. There is no leaderboard but yes.. there is shop, battle pass! Save your money and time.

    Game started out ok, but felt like an unfinished game. would maybe say 4/10. But the lack of insight the developers are having with the community feedback is insane. Making most builds trash and completely gutting the weakest class. Yeah I aint playing this bulls#$t anymore.

    patch 1.1 is a joke with all the nerfs and horrible changes. Making leveling harder and leaving dungeons taking longer just does not make sense.

    Title: “A Disastrous Turn for Diablo 4: Patch 1.1 Brings Unwelcome Changes”

    As an avid fan of the Diablo franchise, I must say that the latest patch, version 1.1, has left me extremely disappointed and frustrated with the direction Diablo 4 is heading. This update, which was supposed to improve the game, has instead managed to ruin it completely.

    Ultimo aggiornamento penoso....si giocava tranquillamente divertendosi e cercando di creare qualcosa pian piano con quelle poche ore di tempo di gioco disponibili. Ora è impossibile e passa la voglia di fare qualsiasi cosa.

    what at first glance looked like it had potential the developers failed to address anything a game in this genre needed. Simple quality of life mechanics, loot to keep a player interested (often of which the rare items were worse than the ones you got ten levels previous and just simply a lack of anything to aim for) , class balancing, and viable options to try different class builds.what at first glance looked like it had potential the developers failed to address anything a game in this genre needed.

Total lack of build diversity on the talents and the paragon board is boring with raw numbers. The first major update just killed any progress you had already made and slowed down every fun aspect which was already wearing on being tedious. I'd wait a good 6 month before even considering picking this title up and checking to see if they can rescue it before it's just another blizzard failure who seem to be more and more out of touch with the fanbase.… Expand

    The repetitiveness of the game makes no sense when developer kept messing with existing mechanics instead of introducing fresh contents

    Lack of sustainability Lack of end game activities
    Lack of objective

    It felt like the game is in an immature state but there is still time for improvement.    … Expand

    the worst patch, looking at it, the desire to play further in the season and in general disappears!!
    the patch is terrible, and so after 80lvl it was tedious to pump the character further, so after the patch it became even worse, they reduced everything that was possible

    Terrible end game loop. No chase items. No crafting. No agency on the contents and rewards. Bad itemization. Forced builds by devs. Buggy and imbalanced tuning.

    It's really annoying to always fight against the bad decisions of the developers. Obviously they have made the game worse.

    I'm mad because of Nightmare Dungeons XP reduction (from +25% for +3lvl to 1,5% for +1lvl - max.10% for +10lvl). Ridicules.

    Worse patch ever! Made an account just to post my review here. Majority of Diablo players are Millineals who have regular job and just want to unwind and play so every free time is crucial. Way to go making it harder to level and farm! Good job blizzard for Ending the game!!

    Sorry but no sorry . Payed 100$ to play a beta version of a Game . Unplayable classes and builds.
    Bugs everyone with weeks to get fixed .
    Item are pre-fixed with % of getting something good being abysmal low .

    Other than cinematic ...nothing else . But ill rate 0/10 because of gameplay...I don't rate cinematics since i wanna play ..

    Diablo 4's decision to undermine fan-favorite customer and other builds and to nerf everything has left players frustrated.

    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]
