    BLIZZARD is like your abusive ex-girlfriend, who keeps talking you into engaging with her once more; that everything will be different this time. But under the pretending surface you very well know she doesn't love you, but your money.

    Game has recently become unplayable with the constant lag spikes and rubber banding. The only resolution for the issue would be blamed on the users rather than addressing and fixing the issue. Everything fun about the game has been nerfed by this small indie company. End game is unrewarding hence the farming of lower end dungeons for same rewards that are given in nightmare dungeon.

Game should've been advertised as early access since the game is very buggy and should have not been the price tag that it was advertised. In conclusion, do not buy until issues have been resolved. Lots of headache from trying to enjoy this game.… Expand

    A game that comprises it's UI to make console and PC bad.
    Level scaling makes gaining any levels feel like a setback. It also makes party play feel imbalanced.
    Boring skill design, low build viability. Limited action set is too console focused.
    This game feels like an early alpha but costs 100$. There is potential but it is wasted.

    Possibly the most overrated game I’ve ever played. The gameplay and fighting in it are dire. Every fight is the same; every boss looks the same with its faded red color and generic size/shape.

    Edit: it got worse. Unbelievably, improbably, it got worse.

As far as Diablo goes, this is not polished... nearly every aspect of this game has regressed from an innovative standpoint and a quality of life standpoint.
    - Can't track sidequests, crashing all over the place
    - Resists just don't work, leaving armor and health your only options
    - Their end game is pointless; Diablo games are supposed to reward you for increased risk. This version doesn't. Gear drops are based off your character level and not the dungeon level. This means running a 40 minute dungeon isn't as valuable as running 4 x 10 min dungeons. It's not supposed to be this way. We want to enjoy the challenge and be rewarded for it.
    - The story line is short and dumb.
    - Nearly every aspect of this game has some unpolished wonkiness, for instance there's no Diablo IV graphic on my OS tool bar. I don't want to buy a AAA game and see a white piece of paper as the game icon. Especially when the game crashes as much as this one.
    - The season play doesn't include new content. Season play is supposed to be a NEW season each time you play it, not the same old content that's been done before on repeat.

    While in Diablo you spend a lot of time looking at new gear, this new version tipped the balanced. You spend too much time looking at gear now with all these stupid sub divided stats. Leaving gems in to take up inventory space just to have something to fix that the community will be happy about it is an obvious play and doesn't make up for the half finished nature of the game. This isn't a Blizzard Diablo, which always has something innovative even if it doesn't work you need to try. This is a washed out version that actually makes the game crappier. Booooooo go back to mobile games Blizzard you're embarrassing yourself.    … Expand

    The rubberbanding from latency makes the game unplayable, for a game starting at $70 Blizzard CAN afford better servers. it should've worked at launch, and there's simply no excuse for this. If this was a small indie companies first online game it could be forgivable, but this is coming from a company that only creates online games, and is considered an industry leader.

    I scheduled my G.D. vacation time for the D4 release & 3 days into playing it stopped being fun. I'm still upset. What a scam.

    The once great Blizzard North was bought out over a decade ago and none of the brilliant minds still work there at what is now called Activision Blizzard. I didn't know this until after buying D4. Blizzard pumps out flashy games with no substance and puts the Blizzard stamp on it to cash in on nostalgia and utilize predatory in game cash transaction practices. Their games are pure marketing & sales. Look at reviews for any of their games in the last decade. I wish I had.

    Don't believe the positive critic reviews or the fake positive reviews masquerading as negative ones. Blizzard pays for those to confuse people

    Unplayable on the ps5 with all the rubber banding. Looks like Blizzard didn't bother buying servers. If you are going to release an online only game and then not have enough servers, it is basically a scam. I cannot play the game i paid full price for. Lesson learned. Never buy blizzard. Never buy online only.

I assume they are just too big anymore to have any other item besides profitloss spreadsheet to design a game. This was pitched as Diablo II with a refresh, but I don’t remember not being able to pause, queuing behind 3 players all doing the same quest separately. This is just the worst of Diablo and WOW mashed together, with lack of any imagination by Blizzard. On the plus side, the spreadsheet your horse armor should make a lot of money and if you nerf things after people bought the game maybe you can make them pay for it later. Blizzard is a game studio that was amazing but as head over heels I was on I and II and I didn’t hate 3 (with some issue but I’m single player). They have tipped their hand once again. Either they have gone far away from me, or I’ve gone far away from them. I doubt I will buy the next one (sadly until they have some great cutscenes and say they are not going to commit past sins I’m a sucker and they know it). With 600M I doubt they give a **** about any reviews they certainly aren’t listening to anyone. Just listen to the Dev updates.

    I would love to put hours upon hours into this amazing game, but I literally can't without constant frame drops because of the completely unnecessary forced always online functions of Diablo IV.

    They seriously need to work on these servers, but also add a offline mode like every other game that is mostly a single player experience as well.

    it is possible, that you end up with equip you found with level 60 or 70, because the "best" gear can already drop aslong you play in World-Tier 4

    Because the Monsters, scale with your level, at least druid feels never Strong or weak, till level 60 every skill, build, passive and legendary feels more or less the same.

    the "end-game" is very very repeditive and boring.

    The Main-character from past Diablo-games was imo:
    Procedual-generated areas with high deverse Monsters and creative equipment.

    In D4 you wont find good procedual-generated areas, the world-map is always the same, and the dungeons just have 2-4 of the same sets. Monsters and bosses are always the same in each dungeon.

    The level-requirement is based on your level (endgame), so if you planning the farm some start-items for your alt, you are gonne to cry, cause if you are level 100, the items drop with level 100-requirement^^

    The Skill-tree you face is very low, very little and most likely will force you in any kind to play 2-3 playstyles each class conl with the legendary aspects.

    the paragon system is better then in D3, its even more creative then the skilltree and is a good start to the endgame.

    Overall, the game sucks past level50+- in nearly everything. "BUT IT LOOKS KIND OF NICE... "
    Diablo 4 got alot of potential, maybe try it when season 1 starts.

    I played: D1, D2, D2R, D3, D4, PoE, Wolcen, Torchlight 1-3, Titan Quest, Grim dawn

    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]
