    Ausencia total de dopamina, ni satisfactorio, ni divertido, ni entretenido. El pastiche perfecto de mecánicas erróneas de juegos centrados en la monetización agresiva sumado a un core que hace aguas por todos lados y una historia que parece sacada del juego más lagrimoso de Annapurna.

    Un despropósito de juego hecho sin ganas que marca el inicio del final de la saga Diablo.

    I'm in love with the franchise from the very beginning, but this has nothing to do with Diablo.
    I could go in to all the details but it gets down to one simple conclusion: it's just not fun to play. The soul has been completely sucked out of it and has become an overly commercial product.

    I was a huge Diablo Fan. But this Game is just Trash. They nerfed every fun Part. Explore 4 Dungeons and you`ve seen them all. Did i mentioned the 6 same Dungeonendbosses? Just wait for Path of Exile 2 - lot more to do, lot more fun and it costs 0$. Was my last Game from Bli$$ard.

Be it the bad Battlepass and its predatory system, the absolute boring and meaningless Season one, the half assed made game itself, gems and now hearts blocking all of your inventory and the ridicolous excuse why they can´t fix this. Resistances that won´t work, but instead of an appropriste reaction of the devs in their live stream (where others companys faces would turn red and green because of shame...) the Blizzard clowns are LAUGHING!! They know their game is **** but they don´t give a crap and they dont even try to hide it. This is not acceptable in 2023. These ass clowns should be fired on the spot instead of laughing in their customers faces. Need more? Well, nerfs to classes beyond being able to be played, senseless nerfs of cooldowns, even of qol aspects. They dont wanna make the game fun for us, they want to force us being as long as possibe in this **** and have NO FUN at all. These guys clearly never played their own game or have no idea how games like this are supposed to be played. I regret buying this crap and clearly the will NEVER see one more cent from me.… Expand

    the designers of this game should apologize to all players. stop teaching players how to play "correctly", start learning how to create a game called a diablo-like game.

    Why D4 is bad
    1.Bugs that can duplicate the gears and produce infinite money.
    2.This game read your inventory to prevent you from getting end game gear.
    3.Poor optimization, riding a horse is slower than walking
    4.Bed dungeons design

My mistake was not really looking at the reviews or else I would have never bought this. Never thought that way about a Diablo game before but feels like a potentially great movie with such an awful ending that it ruins the entire experience. I don't want to be Blizzard's beta tester, having spent at least $70 on it; The devs keep changing the dynamics and character skill affects to "balance" the game. Constant fear and anxiety of getting your character nerfed! The changes are so extreme that your character easily becomes not very playable all of a sudden after spending hours and hours on it. The same content repeated over and over is simply not very fun. I would, if I could, for the first time in my life, ask for my money back. The devs look at players who are professional or are somehow monetizing their game to react to their setup. Meanwhile 99% of others are repeating the same content over and over.... and over and over. The first season is underway and already feels so lethargic. I invested in D2R and it is still loads better than D4. Don't waste you money on the glitzy graphics if the game itself is not fun and is boring. It's not the same thing as doing Baal or Mepisto runs. Those were fun for what you got in the game. Blizzard needs the "twitter treatment" as in someone acquire Blizzard and fire 60% of the engineers! And I'm a dev myself; that's how mad I feel about getting swindled on D4. 2 star because although the story is weak, you can still play the initial story with any character.… Expand

    Review gets a 1 because I have seen worse. This recent patch however gutted ever class, but the weakest class in the game took the biggest hit. I log in only to find my Sorc doing 80% less damage than before the patch. This isn't playable, and judging at how long it takes them to fix something (if they even fix it), I'll be long done with D4 before that day comes.

SOMEHOW WORSE, but they are also **** on the community that loved Blizzard and the Diablo franchise so much. The menus are so predatory and money grabbing, stash/bags have been a problem since day one and very little has been done to help, the UI is terrible, gameplay gets super repetitive and boring to the point where you're literally grinding hours and hours for 0.1% upgrades.

    The game lacks so much of the basic fun that you’d expect from this, I honestly feel I have just wasted my life playing it, there's no refund for “time”. The advertisement was so blown out of proportion, that of course, we all fell for it, giving our well earned money over to a company that doesn’t give a single **** about its customer.

    The latest “Devs play the game” video just shows how out of touch this company is, or maybe so in touch that they did it on purpose to give faces and identity for players to blame.

    The only reason I am not giving it a one was because the art and cutscene team did an absolutely amazing job in capturing what the game should be, if only the other departments at Blizzard put even 10% of the effort in as the art team did, they would have a functional game.

    This game is a grand disappointment and a testament to what greed looks like. This is what happens when investors are put before the consumers.

It's like a body snatcher pretending to be a loved one so that when you get in close for a hug they can kill you and eat you - eat your wallet that is.

    The game play could be fun but resistances don't work and the game play has been simplified to this "is your unstoppable button off cooldown? Then live. If your unstoppable button is on cooldown, die." That's it, the only times you die is when your unstoppable is on cooldown. Very stupid.

    No end game.
    The design of the inventory is absolutely foolish - you collect gear in this game to try new builds but they severely limit your inventory space. They have since went on to complain that adding more inventory space is tough - I will remind us all that Path of Exile exists... with practically unlimited inventory space and that's a free to play game. How is it that blizzard is a multibillion dollar company but can't figure "more inventory" space out? It's because it costs real money to have more server for the storage and they cut corners to save money so f the gamers. Lazy.

    Next is the search function, do you know what it's like looking though 200 pieces of gear to find 1 aspect? Why isn't there a search function for this? It feels like I spend 30% of the time reading to find items I need.

    Most of the drops are utter trash but there is no way to tell so you are forced to read through all of for a possible slight upgrade.

    There are over 50 type of damage modifiers... close damage, far damage, cold damage, frozen damage... this ish goes on and on and on. It's almost impossible to find a piece of gear with exactly the stats YOU NEED! It's frustrating.

    Why would blizzard do this? Because they want to keep you "engaged" and playing. They are wasting your time, treating you like a fool merely to keep you playing because you might spend more money...

    There's so much to complain about but I will just stop. I paid almost 130 dollars for this game and I can say it's worth 30 dollars. Unfinished, unpolished, boring, tedious and ultimately not fun. I won't buy a blizzard product again.    … Expand

    A hopeless game that wastes the cost of every player's time and money.
    In a game with no follow-through, even players will go back and play Diablo three instead of continuing to invest time in playing 4.

    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]
