    Absolute garbage of a game. How this ever got released is beyond me. Even diablo 3 is better and that is saying a lot.

    The game starts out strong, but the total lack of content and objectives in the endgame, poor builds diversity, unbalanced classes, and the tone deaf response of the devs to the community, make this a game to avoid

    Complete incompetent DEV‘s ruining a game they dont play.
    Action game with slow paced action
    Loothunter with boring loot
    And an mmo with nearly 0 incentive to socialise

    This game was already difficult and a tad boring, but after the S1 patches, it's mostly unplayable. The nerfs, the changes. It just shows Blizzard cares about money and not their players. No thanks, I'll just find another game that actually cares about their players.

    They really managed to kill a game. Take your time and money elsewhere. This game has literally no social aspect to it. It's slow paced and the loot is horrible. Not worth the money at all

    The endgame is so boring with lack of content and lack of any activity that makes you feel like it's an enjoyable experience, and the itemization leaves you feeling like you are just wasting time. The world tier system was a good addition, but then they put artificial levels on when you could jump up to the next tier while simultaneously slowing down the leveling system making it even more slow and boring.
    You are literally expected to run the same boring content over and over without any expectation of rewarding loot that is anything but marginally better at best. Even the higher skilled players are forced to grind an abundance of low challenge content ad nauseum just to check a level box to get back to more challenging content.
    The developers have gone out of their way to suck what limited fun was in the game while introducing the new season just to have everyone have to start back over from scratch for a more painful and less fulfilling experience. I highly recommend people sit this game out if you haven't purchased it yet until the developers start playing their own game to see how awful it is and start making real quality of life improvements. It is all but unplayable in its current form unless you enjoy repetitive game play that is a huge step back from Diablo 3.    … Expand

    Started off with potential. Consumers gave them a pass on the early and still ongoing performance issues. However, with so many poor balance passes and strange decisions it's hard to recommend any time investment into this release.
    The game itself, can be fun, but with some of the worse decision making ever seen, the confidence in improvement, at this point remains low.

    nerfed everything into the ground. havent fixed resistances while adding a seasonal item that has resist all for sorcerer... sorcerer gets breathed on and dies. destroyed cooldowns of all skills by nerfing cdr on gear. Nerfed basically everything that helps the player while at the same time buffing enemies damage, health. dont get me wrong here i enjoyed what i played of the game butnerfed everything into the ground. havent fixed resistances while adding a seasonal item that has resist all for sorcerer... sorcerer gets breathed on and dies. destroyed cooldowns of all skills by nerfing cdr on gear.

    The story is okay - fun for once, but ARPG's aren't about story.
    There is no depth in what you can do, what you can drop, what you can build.

    No economy.
    Gold sink is ludicrous.
    Endgame content is nightmare dungeons, which are incredibly boring with all pedestal rocks - just let people zoom...
    Characters move way too slow even if you drop highest roll movement amulets and boots.
    Cooldowns are long and boring.
    If you played ARPG's for a while now, you will be able to identify all "builds" in 20 - 30 minutes.
    And you will never feel like you made this beast of a character like you can in POE, Last Epoch.
    With best possible gear it feels the same as with mediocre gear. Slow and repetitive.

    They introduced 0 fun things for 1st season and increased the tediousness.
    And there was already so so much tediousness in this game.

    Blizzard is dead. So is this game - at least for now.
    Back to POE boys.    … Expand

    The game is lacking endgame content. For the 1st season of the game, Blizzard tries to extend the lifespan of the current content by slowing down the progress for the player. This is just dumb and lazy attempt at a solution. The correct solution would be to add more content.

    But actively release a patch that leaves the game in a million times worse state? Why sabotage a dying game? I'm 110 % certain someone that's never played video games could sit down for one hour and crunch better patch notes than this degeneracy.    … Expand

    Seriously was enjoying the game and was taking my time. Since patch 1.1.0 trying to get through mobs and do anything is much slower now. I really hope that gets changed for the season or my limited time to level is going to take much longer :(

    This game is trash that can't enjoy its former glory. Incompetent people with no development ability completely destroyed the glory of the past.

    Ive been in the franchise since the original Diablo.

    This feels like we are still in beta. It feels like whoever is writing the patch notes does not even understand game mechanics or the gameplay.

    example why have ghors gloves with attack speed when it does not even work with whirlwind.

    Latest patch notes are perfect example

    Game came out at around a 7, fun game, had its drawbacks but was expecting updates to push it further, after recent patches it had nerfed every class and now players can’t push content they could.

    This game was designed to sell seasonal passes, and the nerf's made to it were designed to make them last 30 days.. Avoid this steaming pile from a company that is a shell of its former self, that continues to produce F teir talent and games.

    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]
