    The Game had its flaws, seasons was meant to be what we were waiting for, instead they nerfed everything. xp and lvling were rough but now they are unbearable clearly blizzard have no idea what their fans want, the game is unplayable making already annoyed fans like myself quit the game until they fix it or just move on entirely. This game will die completely in its current state.

    Worst patch in the history of gaming, on top of already hollow game on launch.

    Game is regular cash grab.
    Devs for some goddamn reason decided to nerf everything into absolute oblivion right before Season 1.
    Game is not enjoyable, but only artificially extended time consuming trash fest where nothing works properly paired with the fact that the dev teams are not even talking between themself about the changes they are doing, and don't get me started on all the lies    Game is regular cash grab.

    This game deserves an award for being the fastest Diablo franchise to die...    … Expand

    Ultimo aggiornamento penoso....si giocava tranquillamente divertendosi e cercando di creare qualcosa pian piano con quelle poche ore di tempo di gioco disponibili. Ora è impossibile e passa la voglia di fare qualsiasi cosa.

    what at first glance looked like it had potential the developers failed to address anything a game in this genre needed. Simple quality of life mechanics, loot to keep a player interested (often of which the rare items were worse than the ones you got ten levels previous and just simply a lack of anything to aim for) , class balancing, and viable options to try different class builds.what at first glance looked like it had potential the developers failed to address anything a game in this genre needed.

Total lack of build diversity on the talents and the paragon board is boring with raw numbers. The first major update just killed any progress you had already made and slowed down every fun aspect which was already wearing on being tedious. I'd wait a good 6 month before even considering picking this title up and checking to see if they can rescue it before it's just another blizzard failure who seem to be more and more out of touch with the fanbase.… Expand

    the worst patch, looking at it, the desire to play further in the season and in general disappears!!
    the patch is terrible, and so after 80lvl it was tedious to pump the character further, so after the patch it became even worse, they reduced everything that was possible

    Terrible end game loop. No chase items. No crafting. No agency on the contents and rewards. Bad itemization. Forced builds by devs. Buggy and imbalanced tuning.

I'm 37 years old and I've been playing ARPG's since the early days of Diablo 1 and of course Ultima VII. I grew up having Diablo 2 LAN parties in my basement with my friends where my Mom would make us pizza, and we would descend into the depths of Hell having a grand ol' time. Sadly, Diablo 4, after a smooth launch, just absolutely destroyed their game with this new patch. And I'm going to explain exactly WHY they did this.

    Diablo 4's latest patch has everything to do with destroying the Eternal Realm. Yes, the Eternal Realm may seem "less important" because it won't feature these cool seasonal mechanics that we're supposed to enjoy, but, you can't access, you guessed it: The Battle Pass, in the Eternal Realm.

    Big shocker right?

    When you start to think logically that all of these "game designs and mechanics" were built around a corporate "for profit" scheme, you will understand that the Blizzard that used to exist, is simply a corpse that has been exploded by the greedy Millionaire/Billionaire Necromancer's, that prop up this corpse of a company.

    They sucked the soul out of this game, which actually had a solid foundation, and only needed a few solid tweaks to really solidify it's future, however, these corporate idiots cannot comprehend that empathizing and understanding your player base over making disgusting greedy decisions isn't possible.

    Why else would they reduce cooldown reduction by 30%? It's arguably the most important nerf in this new patch. If you can't reset your cooldowns fast enough, you can't use your skills faster, ultimately, slowing down the game and progress you would've made in the game.

    Why else would they reduce damage reduction by 25%, and completely gut the Aspect of Disobedience, the best defensive aspect in the game? It's the exact same concept, you die more, so it ultimately takes LONGER to get best in slot gear, and reach late endgame content.

    Speaking of endgame content, there is none. This is why they are making these changes. It's why they tried to sneak in capstone dungeon level caps of 40 and 60 without telling us.

    It's why they ultimately giga nerfed power leveling, boosting, and group leveling as a whole. Honestly, they just nerfed leveling and XP in general, because they understand that there's not enough content at the end of the game for you to enjoy.

    They want to keep you in the game as long as possible, so you have the most amount of exposure to the battle pass, and the more time you're in the game, the more time you will be exposed to the battle pass, and more likely to spend money on cool looking cosmetics for weapons, armor or your horse.

    They shadow nerfed several passives from x    … Expand

    It's really annoying to always fight against the bad decisions of the developers. Obviously they have made the game worse.

    This game after the new patch has been terrible. Nerfed the damage for no reason nerfed armor for no reason nerfed cooldown just so you can stand still and wait for cooldowns.

    Do not waste your money on this. I feel like such an idiot right now. You have been warned.
    Such a high priced AAA title and then they can spoil the game at any point with their updates.
    They have just done so and so again I warn you, do not waste your money on this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Truth be told, I don't even have much of a problem with non-P2W microtransactions, because I have to accept reality that AAA online PvP multiplayer on Playstation will basically only happen if MTX is included. You can thank greedy and lazy "story-driven" developers like Sony Santa Monica for that, because they save so much money by giving us half of the game at full price, and still make bank. So of course, developers that give us the full game are going to monetize the online portion for that extra work. My problem is that I already spent $70 on this mobile game that isn't even close to a true AAA experience, and the greedy developers still have the audacity to add MTX. Seeing how this is an online only mobile game with MTX, it should've been free-to-play. This outrageous greed makes EA and Take-Two look like saints in comparison. At least they have full priced games with actual AAA quality. Battlefront 2 or GTA V alone has better quality than the entire Blizzard catalogue combined. That's embarrassing.… Expand

    Sorry but no sorry . Payed 100$ to play a beta version of a Game . Unplayable classes and builds.
    Bugs everyone with weeks to get fixed .
    Item are pre-fixed with % of getting something good being abysmal low .

    Other than cinematic ...nothing else . But ill rate 0/10 because of gameplay...I don't rate cinematics since i wanna play ..

    Slow, boring, tedious. This is nothong more than anotherhis garbage is nothing more than an always online "Seasonal Battle Pass journey" cash grab by Blizzavision. Awful experience- uninstalled for good unless recent nerfs get reverted. Not a real game.

    With the new patch, they killed it. Applause for the dev team. From the day that game released, players been waiting for logical changes. They just made it worse. They even nerfed the almost-dead class, sorceress. They have no idea about players expectation. I doubt if dev team even played the game. Such a dissapointment...

    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]
