    Horrible Game. The development team learned NOTHING from diablo3. Horrible gear balancing, does not scale with levels. horrible maps, same layout all the time with very little diversity. Horrible character builds, no choice in looks or appearance. Horrible game play, same thing all the time.

Horrible game play, same thing all the time. There is no 'end game' at all, once you finish the story line around level 50, there is no need to play anymore. The grind from 50 to 100 is meaningless and so boring. Wait 4 years for the reddit community to tell the developers whats wrong so they can fix it. Or go play path of exile or D3. I spent 40 hours leveling and building a character to 100, only to have it completely NERFED and made useless.… Expand

    I have played all the Diablo games except Immortal ( no one should ever play that), and this game gave me hope that they would undo the damage they did to the Diablo Franchise with Three. The most fun I have had on this game, were the beta weekends. I streamed 140 hours of Diablo 4 on launch, even dyeing to a glitch during the race to 100 ... 4 times in a row on Hardcore.

    Sorry but I really wanted to play this game, I still want to, but it feels so empty. I don’t know why I had to open new char without even completing the first one and doing same things again and again for the new season.. I quit playing 2 days ago, there is no motivation for me to play, no challanges nothing, feels like I am wasting my time for nothing, they missed the biggesr partSorry but I really wanted to play this game, I still want to, but it feels so empty. I don’t know why I had to open new char without even completing the first one and doing same things again and again for the new season.. I quit playing 2 days ago, there is no motivation for me to play, no challanges nothing, feels like I am wasting my time for nothing, they missed the biggesr part “motivation” we are making 100 lvls with full gear but for what? Just to kill one boss..? my buddy quit too when he learned about restarting the new season with a new character.. there is no endgame content, that’s why you have to start a new character and it gets SO MUCH BORING, why am I doing the map renowns again??

    After the patch game and some animations got very slow, you can’t even kill basic mobs, feels like you are beating a wall.

    No good lots, not enought stashes, I spent time checking items more than I play game, so boring. I was very excited for the game and cross platform, they said would be better with the new season but all got worse.

    We get in dungeon and I don’t even see my char, in the end we don’t even see who dealt the most damage, killed most etc. game is so dull. It can be fixed but there will be no players left till they fix. I am so sorry. I will not do the same things again and again for nothing.    … Expand

    I paid 150$ for the ultimate edition and the game is completely unplayable since the last patch dropped. My barb is so nerfed to the ground that the game became completely unenjoyable after investing countless hours. The developers are brain dead idiots who have no respect for our time and energy spent on the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is absolute disgrace. I bought a game for 100 euros, so they offer me to buy cosmetics in a paid game for 25 euro per skinset.

    Total absence of end game content. Lags and the fact that people were thrown there as testers.

    I would forgive everything though and even go play there Season 1, but Blizzard decided to release a patch. So I spend 200 hours to make proper build, I polished it and day after they just said it is too strong so I can go f... myself and try something else. No buffs of other classes so they would be viable, no increase of difficulty level... no. We just release global nerf and make game harder, so you wont reach level 100 too early as it will kill all the interest.

Furthermore, the inclusion of distasteful microtransactions has only added to the disappointment, cementing the perception that this endeavor is nothing more than a mere cash grab.

    Diablo 4 is unironically worse than Diablo 3, the game has nothing going for it, devs are clueless, this game has no direction and no vision, it's a shame but also it is reality that we live in.

    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]
