    I did have fun for a bit but the micro transactions and battlepass are gonna kill diablo for me. Its very clear the focus is on those, they've developed the Battlepasses and won't even have leaderboards for multiple seasons. That is insane considering the competition is literally the point of seasons. But obviously those micro transactions are the only priority to them.

    Game is a pale imitation of Diablo 3 and 2. This soulless addition to the franchise exists to line Bobby Kotiks pocket and force you to chase an exponential level grind for meager seasonal offering and no endgame whatsoever stay away!

    is a cash grab wouldn't recommend buying this game. the devs nerfed everything to the ground instead of fixing the main problems. limited stash tabs, devs are out of touch with fans, playerbase and casual players, lackluster gameplay. it gets boring after finishing the story of the game, everythings been nerfed and its not fun to play anymore.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has the possibility to be good. Unfortunately, the developers have ensured that the game is not fun to play while leveling past 50. They also added useless stats to gear that was already extremely hard to get good rolls on and the reroll mechanic is absolute crap. I am done with this game until they add a lot more Quality of Life feature to the game.… Expand

    Activision's rules. More money to spend les fun to play. Blizzard is dead. Game is unfinished, no endgame, same stuff to do again and again without any feeling of progression. Not enough mobs, feeling of combat is unsatisfying, legendary drops are a joke 95% are useless and you will just sell or trash them.

    I've never made a Metacritic review... until today. And Blizzard deserves this one, because in 2023 I feel like we should aspire for more than points to graphics and campaign-- hence the 2 point score.

    The following reflects my starting point at 10 decremented by 1 for each thing in-game that bothered me.
    >The only way to play is online, so you're at the mercy of your internet AND the servers connection. This may cause problems in NM dungeons where you have limited deaths.
    >As of this writing, there's no safety net for hardcore mode players who lose their character once they die. Imagine having to say goodbye to the character you spent a lot of time with just because blizzard's servers disconnected.
    >There's a specific enemy in the game that's not too common but when they appear, 9 times out of ten the enemy will be OFFSCREAN and shoot a powerful projectile at you. Yes, I'm referring to the Skeleton Corpse Bow. Given this skeletal range, I feel like this wouldn't be problem with a ZOOM OUT function but Blizzard said **** that noise".
    >Lack of Inventory space, I need not say more.
    >Endgame is really boring for the last 30 levels
    >And I'm taking two points away because of patch 1.1. I'm being generous with those two points because I had to reserve points Diablo earned for graphics and campaign, which doesn't really say much.
    I would go in depth on this issue but I see other scores have already covered them passionately so I leave it to the observers to explore what the patch entails and how it has affected the player base. A bit of context though, my main character was a sorcerer.... so...

    Blizzard, at this point I've decided to boycott your company and therefore your games. I've ignored all the **** things you've done in the past because I was never involved with your games except D3. My anticipation for D4 has been running like wildfire and it breaks my heart that this was the result of a near decade wait. Thanks for your **** attempt and **** campfire chat; I may return if you decide to reverse your decision to take away the fun everyone been having.    … Expand

    The other games are better than this one.
    I played Diablo 3 for thousand of hours.
    Also Diablo Immortal thousand. In Diablo IV i've reached lv 90 then put it aside. Since lv 75 nothing to do. Nothing to aim at. I mean: it's not a bad game, but my vote it's about what it could have been after 12 years from diablo 3. I'm not complaining about hard game. This can be adjusted.

    But fighting is a mess. it's not accurate at all.
    All this balancing and nerf means that the game released as a beta. example: horse, horse cosmetic and then they add teleport. and bye bye horse. (and also horse is bugged af).
    No social, no pvp event. I've been in a clan and almost never spoke. no event together.
    Blzz should have learned from diablo immortal.
    I've kept repeating same dungeons for hours from 75 to 90 without any benefit.

I can tell the workers are trying hard but the leadership is likely full of idiots hitting their desk and yelling. The campaign didnt give one choice even thoigh it kept alluding to you being able to make a choice. I really put so much effort into enjoying this game and making an enjoyable experience for my partner and sadly we both hated it... for the 60+ hours played, no more than 5 hours of fun. Customizing character and horse skins were about the only thing fun. Good loot is just not a thing in this game.… Expand

I finally got up to level 23 and it felt like I was still low level as I had to be careful with just the standard mobs of enemies as they level up with you. Unlocking new skills isn't really exciting either. I forgot to level up multiple times as the skill s were very underwhelming to me. I had 4 skill points I used right before I quit and I felt like I was even less effective than before I used them.

    It also seems like they went backwards from Diablo 3 on many things. Diablo 3 was more dynamic in both characters and environment. Also I miss the console's inventory system. I think I'll play that instead of 4 the next time I feel like playing Diablo.    … 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]
