    Diablo IV was a chore to play for certain classes before the 1.10a patch. Now, not only are ALL classes a chore to play because of the massive nerfs to anything that made the game fun, but underperforming classes like Sorcerer have been made entirely unplayable.

    Right now we are in alpha state, consider playing in 2025 when they add more content and hopefully fix the game.

    Diablo 4/10 (I'd give it a 4, but due to all the folks sucking it off with 10/10 reviews, I think it's only right to counterbalance the user score)

    Started out fueled by hype, but got monotonous FAST, with minimal payout. If you've fought 5 bosses, you've fought all of them, and its just rinsing and repeating the whole way through. The community aspect is incredibly un-engaging, and at no point do I feel like I'm part of a teeming world with other real people trying to excel at the game. I consistently wonder why I'm playing Diablo 4 when I'm playing Diablo 4.

    I'm not really sure what the fix is here- maybe adding another tab for ability slots- it could add life and variety into the game, or diversifying the bosses and creating different types of missions, or community engagement like raid-style, team-requiring quests.

    As it stands, I spent $100 and had fun for a couple of days. Not the worst use of $100 in my life, but surely not the best.    … Expand

    STAY AWAY FROM THIS GAME. Devs aren't the brightest, they are patching the only reason people remained and stayed in the game. They are basically making it harder for you to level up and play any class now. At launch this game was fun not the best still was hoping for positive improvements now this game is nerfed to hell.

This is more like a time wasting simulator more than a game. There is no FUN aspects in this game and nothing you do outside of the campaign feels worth your time. We have to speak to these devs by not entertaining their seasons. Whoever thinks seasons are good in a Blizzard game is lost as hell. This is a one time play through the campaign and uninstall type of game. I personally wouldn't even waste time if it was free to play. I was very optimistic at first like hey maybe they will fix these classes because they realize they don't do any damage or have high survivability. Devs just don't know what to do it's sad to see. We don't want you to nerf the only things that work we want you to give us more options. If I wasn't reviewing after latest patch I would give this D4/10 but right now it can hold this 0 for all the shills saying its good.… Expand

    Game was a shell, then they "updated" it to the ground.
    Season1 patch just decreased the dmg over all by 50% while you get more dmg and get less items.

    Every content except for nightmare dungeons is useless now

    10/10 if you like to get your balls kicked like me

This basic mechanic seriously disrupts the fluidity of the game. The nerfs coming for Season 1 will further disrupt the fluency of the game in terms of gameplay. I don't know what kind of mind the developers are going through, but unfortunately it is not an Arpg with a bright future. Waste of time. Maybe I'll look again if it becomes playable after 5 seasons. 1 score for story and name of Diablo. Edit: -1 points for server problems.… Expand

    Patch 1.1 ruins the game and this is not an exaggeration. All the multiplicative affixes butchered and yet Vuln, Crit, armor, cd post nerf still far outweighs the additive dmg buffs....this change solely destroys eternal realm and pushes you into seasonal as you now need seasonal malignant hearts to get anywhere NEAR TO VANILLA dmg and even then your survivability will not compare.

Vuln crit cooldown reduc and armor still only stats to roll same as armor so this patch doesn't change damage buckets at all it just kills the Eternal server, forces you into seasonal server and destroys literally any fun that this game had to offer. The additive buffs are literally irrelevant. This patch kills s1 hype completely. This review is from a lvl 100 Twisting Blades Rogue who despite the insane lack of end game content was still having a ton of fun before this new patch. I'm boycotting s1 and probably won't return w s2 unless major rollback to these changes. This is a " wait till the first major expansion" game now.… 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.

    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]
