    L'histoire est vraiment mais vraiment baclée.
    Il y a de nombreuses incohérences. :
    - Pourquoi tel personnage traque tel autre ? - Pourquoi tel personnage ne meurt pas quand un démon la possède (décidément toujours la même, sans compter son inutilité dans le Lore) ? - Pourquoi ... cette fin, sans aucune explication, par ce perso qui au final sort de nullepart ? - Pourquoi... etc etc    L'histoire est vraiment mais vraiment baclée.

    - Pourquoi... etc etc etc
    L'histoire aurait pu être bonne: la guerre entre Lilith et Inarius, mais elle a été mal écrite, mal racontée, limite nanardesque (Inarius bordel...)
    Heureusement certains persos sont bien écrits (les 2 Horadrims avec leurs forces et leurs faiblesses humaines, ainsi que Elias qui agit "logiquement")

    En ce qui concerne le gameplay (finalement le plus important pour 80% des joueurs) et bien moi j'aime bien. Il y a des changements par rapport à D3 mais ils sont les bienvenus
    Le monde ouvert est également cohérent et donne un sentiment de liberté.
    Pour le reste c'est du craft et des heures +++ à passer pour obtenir du matos, on aimera ou pas mais au moins la durée de vie sera au RDV

    A noter également que excepté hier pendant 1h30, les serveurs ont tenu le coup

    Enfin contrairement à ce qui est dit, il n'y a pas de microtransaction honteuses comme dans Immortal. ici il n'y a que du skin, en tout cas pour le moment.

    Je mets donc 7 (à cause du Lore qui m'a décu)    … Expand

    The bad:
    * While graphics and audio are certainly very high-quality art and sound feels soulless as if done by someone with lots of money and a spreadsheet but who doesn't understand how to create a meaningful computer game world.
    * Absolutely horrible level-scaling. Whenever you gain a new level up every zone in the world immediately adjusts to your new level. It is a really bad experience which makes you feel like treading water instead of developing that progressively more powerful character.
    * The game mechanics feel very limited. There are only very few ways to customize a build and everything feels "on rails". After around level 30 you are just putting skills in +1% perks. Other ARPGs are lightyears ahead here.
    * Most smaller quests are just "fetch X" quests and get boring very quickly. Even the main story is barely meeting the mark.
    The other stuff:
    * Microtransactions are bad blah blah, but D4 can be played just fine without every looking at them, and they are really not the reason why this game is just not that great.    … Expand

    Diablo4 scores points in audio and visual. They nail it, it's blizzard, it's the quality we would expect.
    They also score some points on character customization, though they also severely lose points here because there's 1 meta for each character, and blizzards "play how you want to play" motto falls short on your build just not being able to progress. "get good" should never get in the way of just have fun. Even build % charts show 90% of each class using that one ability, there's literally no other way to get by. They shouldnt nerf these builds but bring all the other abilities up to match them.

    The gameplay is fluid (for the most part). Mounts are janky and get stuck on the smallest rock, and there's many times you'll be in battle only to have your character stop moving and attacking because he's clipped through the floor sightly and you have to dash to fix yourself.

    What hurts the game is it's repetitiveness. Sure, that's what this game is going to have, but they literally have 120 dungeons, and there's maybe 3 or 4 styles of dungeons with 5 or 6 objectives, and 5 or 6 rotating bosses, leaving the game severely hurting next to the large random rifts that their previous d3 rifts provided.
    Replayability is possible moving to a new character, but the game severely punishes this in a way with the amount of storage space you have. I personally have an endgame character with all 4 stash tabs mixed with "class specific" legendaries, so starting a new character would literally mean destroying most of that equipment, or going back to the diablo2 days where you have to make a character specifically to hold gear. Also, when it comes to loot, they say they want legendary loot to be rare so it feels like you've accomplished something when you find a piece, but i believe they should go back to diablo3's roots on this, and if a legendary drops you should be able to trade with anyone in your party, as i run with another player on the same class we just have different builds, it sucks to be in a party and something drop epic for them that you also helped work for, but you're missing that party trade timer of old.

    In summary, diablo4 is a well built game, but i feel like by the time season 1 rolls around, if the rewards arent great, i dont see many people wanting to start the game over again. The repetitive cycle on the game is very unforgiving like others of it's class. Only time will tell, and i hope in the coming months i'll be able to return and push my score up a little bit, but ultimately..... diablo2 > diablo3 > diablo4. Not a good trend.    … Expand

    The story is amazing, the cut scenes are masterfully crafted, the world looks and feels amazing, it's a joy to run around and explore the many different areas. On the flip side, the monsters just become reskins of other monsters very early in the game, there is a variety of around 10 dungeon bosses that you will fight over and over again if you want to clear every dungeon at least once, and I can't even count the times I had to "free 6 prisoners" or "find the mechanical stone" in a dungeon in order to advance to the boss room.

    On the good side again, character development and builds are amazing, there is a ton of options to choose from, you can re-do the skills easily and switch completely between different builds mid-game if you want to try another fighting style, the skills feel tight and impactful, and the combination between skills, equipment and play style works perfectly. Then again, some classes are just significantly weaker than others. Necromancers, rogues and sorcerers are massively OP if you know how to build characters, while the Barbarian is okay and the Druid looks and plays horribly.

    The quests are fun, there's a bunch of interesting small story threads, the NPC dialogue in the towns is interesting, in general the world building is fantastic, but then again the open world structure of the game puts you off the main story, often taking away the tension and energy that has been built up during story scenes. The introduction and the first few quests, where the game is still linear, feel so amazing, and then it gets more and more washed down by an overwhelming amount of blue exclamation marks.

    I love this game, that's why I gave it an 8, but there are many, many points that especially long-time fans of the Diablo franchise will definitely hate.    … Expand

    What I feel the game has build differently and have some aspect from D2 in terms of leveling. The game stepped up from hack and slash element to semi-opened world with concept of MMORPG. Overall the game looks great and can't wait the season theme how it looks like.

    Just bought it and almost finished the campaign. As I loved the dark style of D2 and never really got into D3 cause of the comic-like art, D4 has all I wished for.
    Can't say anything about endgame but people whining a lot here, when there is still time for Blizzard to improve things.
    At first was too easy, now too much nerfed. They won't be satisfied whatever happens next.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An improvement from all they did wrong with Diablo3 but D3 brought the franchise so much back that even a step forward is still far behind what it should be.

    They didn’t took any risk

    - itemization: bland, soulless, boring
    - story: decent until your character took the damn stupid decision to refuse Lilith offer
    - campaign: so many unskippable dialogues… escort mission and low mob density
    - skill system: boring and limited. The 4basic, 4 core system makes it have max 1-2 decent build per class. There is no possible theorycrafting or diversity possible. The generator/spender system has been a franchise killer

    Combat: the amount of CC you have to endure is killing the fun, especially for melee. It doesn’t matter to have unstoppable 4 sec… you’ll be Cc for the rest of the Cooldown of your skill. Pvp is decent

    Endgame: boring same crap

    Crafting: non-existent

    Qol: lacks so much of it… no map overlay, no gem tab, no proper search function

Gameplay is different than D3,D2, and most action rpg ( you actualy need to know how to play, you cant just go in and kill everything on the map, i takes skill and preparation and understanding of the items, builds, statuss effect like "unstoppable" - must have, "vurnerable" etc, dmg to crowed controled etc" Aspect system is amazing, crafting is there and its nice, game is DEEP but not like POE trust me you dont want 7 pages of 100+ skill trees and when you hover over an item you need to do a quantum mehanics equasion to actualy know what works or what doesnt work" Its a game for MOSTLY CASUAL audience but even HC players can find something here. BLIZZ pls dont listen to these idiots trashing your game on purpose cos "its not offline" "where is Diablo" and ALL other supid explanations... Skills are great, combat and "FEEL" of the game is amazing, Transmog is great, Paragon Boards are great and fun. MOUNT system is rly good, MAP is ENOURMOUS, Bosses have phases (i guess noobs probably dont get there is a breaker system in place like in Guild Wars 2) Open World is AMAZING, leveling is great. GAME isnt easy dont listen to anyone, i am a veteran player and its not easy if you are not paying attention you WILL DIE even on World Tier 1. Dungeons are okay, BOSSES are good, DODGE mehanic is a must have to go around your cooldowns, Transmog system is great, UI is not that bad as ppl say it just takes some time to get used to it. WORLD bosses are amazing and Fun - hard but rewarding loot piniatas to enyoj the world with others, world events are on Guild Wars 2 level, and thats something RLY great. It does feel like an MMO but hey thats fine so does DESTINY 2, they all do. We live in an online wolrd. What else, yea, oh store prices? POE and other games also have 20$ prices... Everyone does it, but i gotta give it to the skin designers, even the random ass yellow items look good, (IMO some look better than the store ones, and they are free.) LISTEN TO ME, im not a fanboy i think d2 is too old, i think d3 was rly bad, but THIS game, i think is one of the best arpgs of the decade. Bu hu hu the servers suck we have disconects, guess what, ALL GAMES DO. Give the Devs a break and dont trash the game, i mean MILLIONS of people are playing the game... it WILL get better. And as for bu hu hu i want a solo expirience, gues what, if you even tried to play, most of the time id DOES feel like you play SOLO. (excluding World Bosses, and Events, and Towns) you wont see many ppl there (great server layering congratz to the devs) and ENDGAME is GREAT. You allways have something to do, i hope seasons will be great i will buy them all i think. This game is a masterpiece 10/10 with minor fixes needed, dont listen to anyone pls, listen to me, i know what im talking about i have 2500 hours in Destiny 2. and almost 1000 in all other MMO's and Action RPG's, and BY FAR Diablo 4 is the ONE TRUE KING.

    VERDICT 10/10 - if you dont like it dont trash it its just maybe not for you. Everyone likes different stuff, that doesnt mean you need to hate the game.

    HORIZONTAL PROGRESSION is a MUST. Great JOB devs, i rly like that WHOLE MAP feels impactful.
    all those idiots that say that they dont feel the progression, they are just below 60 IQ. It takes time to develop skill, and BEST in SLOT items for your character, TRUST me you DO feel strong when you do all the stuff right.

    Stay Strong DEVS!    … 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.
