    Really fun game. I've lost hours and hours happily playing with new builds. Combat feel brutal and levelling is fun. There are a few bugs that need ironing which I'm sure will happen in time but after 100s of hours of play time I'm still very much enjoying. The community are a bit annoying and seem to have temper tantrums about ay old thing but you can mostly ignore them.

    This is the ultimate Diablo fantasy. I've played D2, D3, D2 Resurrected and now D4. I can say that D4 is the pinnacle of the experience and I've already added 100's of hours into it.

    Fantastic game. The recent patch finally brought in some balance even if its a painful one and still tips the scale to one side.

For hardcore arpg nolifers, see the 5 to zero reviews, they're probably true. BUT.. for CASUAL ARPG PLAYERS, even hardcore casual.. my god this is freaking amazing.

    The systems are just right for an approach where everything is a side grade by you increase in power anyway. The progression in everything you do is so satisfying if you're casually around. This is the first arpg i've played where you can say they actually "tried" to tell a story. Thats a new one for me and i like it. The edge lord content keeps you awake in otherwise mindless repetition and offline theorycrafting. Same effect as vermintide. Its really well balanced as well, feels better than modern tv shows that do the same for my tender brain anyway.

    Even the upcoming seasonal battle pass.. is loaded with.. cosmetics! and it seems like most of will be possible just by participation rewards.

    So.. i don't doubt the other scores, but if you land somewhere in the middle to high end of casual.. its like they made the game for us. I wouldn't bother if i didn't think of myself as a gamer causal, or an arpg nolifer, i don't think either demographics are getting served to the high price of entry.    … Expand

    Diablo 4 is overall a great game. Amazing visuals, sound, story and gameplay. It doesn’t offer the depth that something like POE does and the bosses are not as challenging as lost ark , however it makes up for these with the massive world you have to explore and the very fun combat.

    After the diablo 3 part, the 4th part is a real refreshment, it was much better than the 3rd part.

    I'm 40 years old, I've been playing video games since I was a kid. I love Diablo 1 I love Diablo 2. Diablo 4 looks and works great but is weak in the most important aspects. Weak items, no motivation to play. I'm going back to Diablo 2 Resurrected. 3/10

    The graphics and gameplay are absolutely stunning, what makes slashing through hordes of monsters and demons even more enjoyable! On top of that, the variety of character builds will guarantee hundreds (if not thousands) of hours of gameplay with different classes, builds and possibilities.

    I can't find many flaws in the game after playing it for over 60 hours and am seriously looking forward to the future and how Blizzard is going to expand on my adventure with Diablo IV.

    This game is a must! Definitely worth spending your money on whether you're a fan of Diablo series or a newcomer to this demon-slaying craze!    … Expand

The combat is deep and engaging, with many different routes for each class, although some specific builds are WAY stronger than others. The main story is very well written, voice acting across all the classes is great, characters in the story have actual weight, imo. Side quests are usually good, with a few duds like the usual fetch quests or trailing missions, but some highlights for sure that even add to the main story. Dungeons are awesome, environments look great, enemy designs are great, and while diablo 2 had a better system with scaling, I still enjoy finding the right loot after hitting certain milestones. The devs have also been pretty active in listening to what people want changed, so it's good to see they'll be constantly tuned in and changing what needs to be put in.

    The reason it's not a 10 is because there were a few questionable decisions made for this one as opposed to previous Diablos. Legendary items are no longer tradeable, I play with a few others and it sucks that I can't gift them good aspects or loot that I find. World bosses and legion events feel way too easy at higher levels, and there also isn't enough variety in those two events, although I'm sure they'll add more world bosses. Also having world bosses spawn every 6 hours just feels like it happens way too seldom. The nerfs are also a pain, especially nerfs regarding dungeon exp, but I'm hoping that gets reevaluated as well. The constant live service means there's going to be login issues or disconnection, and I feel like there should have been an option for offline play, though I do admit I like seeing other players, especially when people actually do things to interact with one another but that doesn't happen often as people kind of have to constantly be active.

    Minor complaint here, doesn't really change my opinion too much on the game: I understand the need for microtransactions and battle passes these days so that they can constantly have the income to add more **** but oh my god... The cosmetics are WAAAYYYY too expensive, and don't even look as good as most of the base armors. Either way, this is the game I'm gonna be playing for a long time. Good job blizzard.    … Expand

    Diablo 4 deserves an 8/10 for its stunning graphics, smooth gameplay mechanics, and immersive audio. The game creates visually captivating environments. However, the high price tag is a drawback. Additionally, reaching the end game quickly leads to repetitive gameplay. Despite these flaws, Diablo 4 offers a solid gaming experience.

    Basic UI options are missing... you can't highlight items on the ground by hold Alt? Or anything?

    Finally, the class balancing is garbage. Some classes run through the game, while others are a constant struggle bus.

    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.
