    Ill never buy a another Blizzard game. Stupid, boring, filled with microtransactions... Why does It force you to play online? That would be ok if the servers were good, but they are hot garbage. 70€ down the drain. Avoid this Game at all cost. The review bombings are right

    Até o level 50 é um bom jogo. Depois disto se torna repetitivo e chato. É um jogo simples, era só pegar a fórmula dos outros Diablo, POE, e melhorar. Não conseguiram fazer o básico. Como pode um jogo se diz RPG, as skill do level 10, são as mesmas até o level 100, isto é só um dos erros básicos, voce nunca fica forte no jogo, nunca evolui.

    There is a special place in hell for developers making single player games with constant requirement of internet access. Stuck in “queue” to login on Saturday night instead of enjoying the game. What a mess!

    Graphics is quite ugly, which is a disappointment. Overall gameplay is quite enjoyable, when the game logs in.

But this time you can't just let it go because some competence points, potion usages, and other important things are linked to this completion ! Ridiculous !! And because it's not enough, regarding the something like 1XX dungeons to complete, they don't have unique bosses, I've already found several copies on the 30 I've compleated. The game fills empty, even more when you finish the story (around lv 45/100), the only thing to do is complete the map .... But be glad my friends the shop is full of expensive look for your character that have nothing to do in the game; Have fun !!… Expand

    Just an overall disappointment.

    The quality of life in this game is unacceptable. Stash management, search function, aspect storage, map search functions (forced to use third party websites) storage for everything is so dated and will likely be trickle-fed as a fix to the problem they created. Be prepared to have an alright time once you finish the game. If you're looking for    Just an overall disappointment.

    Be prepared to have an alright time once you finish the game. If you're looking for anything past the campaign, it's not there. The game is an absolute husk of an arpg, It's astonishing the lack of content available. Not only that, the incentives for higher tier Nightmare Dungeon (The supposed endgame) is the the exact same as a regular dungeon..... harder content should reward better xp and loot...

    Mounting in this game feels like your horse is reattaching itself to a rubber band on the ground. It's extremely buggy, feels terrible, and there's impassible barricades around the map which force you to dismount for nothing.

    The skill/paragon trees are the most basic cookie cutter trash you'll ever see in any arpg. You are pigeon-holed into a build, forced, you're at a massive disadvantage if you "want to play how you want to play" as they originally advertised.

    Grinding renown/levels is extremely tedious with the lack of post campaign content. The constant monster density nerfs, dungeon nerfs, build nerfs, lack of changes, bugs in classes, tons of abilities not being viable in any sort of late-ish endgame is so half-baked.

    Overall the game is a spit in the face to Diablo fans, extremely half-baked for the price, teeming with bugs and a lack of quality of life any 2023 arpg should have.

    Los únicos puntos malos son la obligación de conexión permanente, que provocan que el juego no se pueda jugar fluido cuando la conexión no va fina e incluso puede hacerte perder una partida en modo hardcore si se llega a desconectar.

    it is possible, that you end up with equip you found with level 60 or 70, because the "best" gear can already drop aslong you play in World-Tier 4

    Because the Monsters, scale with your level, at least druid feels never Strong or weak, till level 60 every skill, build, passive and legendary feels more or less the same.

    the "end-game" is very very repeditive and boring.

    The Main-character from past Diablo-games was imo:
    Procedual-generated areas with high deverse Monsters and creative equipment.

    In D4 you wont find good procedual-generated areas, the world-map is always the same, and the dungeons just have 2-4 of the same sets. Monsters and bosses are always the same in each dungeon.

    The level-requirement is based on your level (endgame), so if you planning the farm some start-items for your alt, you are gonne to cry, cause if you are level 100, the items drop with level 100-requirement^^

    The Skill-tree you face is very low, very little and most likely will force you in any kind to play 2-3 playstyles each class conl with the legendary aspects.

    the paragon system is better then in D3, its even more creative then the skilltree and is a good start to the endgame.

    Overall, the game sucks past level50+- in nearly everything. "BUT IT LOOKS KIND OF NICE... "
    Diablo 4 got alot of potential, maybe try it when season 1 starts.

    I played: D1, D2, D2R, D3, D4, PoE, Wolcen, Torchlight 1-3, Titan Quest, Grim dawn
    and more hack & slay rpg

    The monster slaying is really fun. I love the world, lore mmo aspects, I’d like more of this tbf.

    Unfortunately, there is little content after the story and once you hit about level 65-70 the grind loses its fun. The power creep seriously drops off and there is no reason to grind to 100. There is a real lack of build diversity and the skill tree is smaller than d3. For a game in    The monster slaying is really fun. I love the world, lore mmo aspects, I’d like more of this tbf.

    Blizzard have improved on the framework of Diablo 3 in just about every way, from graphics to sound design to story and world building...

Some items still haven't been found at time of writing--by anyone. The story turns into a bit of a slog as you progress, but it's an improvement over the prior games. XP and leveling slows to a crawl around level 60. There aren't good incentives to do a lot of the content they want you to do in many cases. At bare minimum, this needs some serious balance changes, and I'd prefer they gutted the level scaling system altogether if that can be done without ruining the open world built around it. The world is much more immersive and there are lots of surprisingly high-quality side quests. There really are a lot of upgrades to the series here, but it could be so much better so easily. The level scaling feels bad. The gear feels sorta weak. It needs an overlay map (I'm staring at the minimap in the corner of the screen while walking, their plan backfired).… 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.
