    This game is great don't listen to the negatives I created this account just to say give it a try. It might have a server issue with a slower log on during really busy times but it is still great.

    The game is not feel improved in many way. just a huge step back. Just for some example: The mini map too small, is not customizable, can not be placed as transparent over the character like in Diablo 2. The team players teleports all the same, could not distinguish like the Player flags in Diablo3. The inventory is too small, no improvement, like auto salvage option.

    Too many collectibles to use 3rd party map on second device. Instead of in-game built help like a pet barking a direction to Lilith Altars.
    The compare system does not compare the 1 handed weapon to 2nd handed, garbage.
    The dungeons looks very similar to me.
    Oh and I forget the visual effect of my friend's necromancer brown **** which covers the full screen, and could not see the bombs, so annoying and ugly.

    The game is very good, its quests are original and interesting, the game has had its failures with the servers and the silver coins. but independently it is very fun, and its graphics are excellent, a whole adventure taken care of in all its details. You just need to add more classes but that can be done in the DLC

Also, the skill tree sucks and the paragon board is bland if you dont stack dmg to vulnerable targets you deal no dmg and the gear is meh its pretty much get decent stats on any piece of gear then put a legendary aspect on it. they had so much time and all of our patience over the years just to give us this man its just bad… Expand

    The game does an amazing job making you feel like you're in a different world. The effort shows, its beautiful, engaging and hours of fun. My only issue was the character selection. Not having Monks or Paladins felt weird considering they have always been there. I hope they add more characters with greater diversity in play style. However, all in and all i enjoy playing.

    Diablo installments have not hit the major niche of gameplay, gore, slash and loot of the genre. It took a failed mobile game for Blizzard to show us they haven't forgotten a stagnant player base with what looks and feels once again like one of their main franchises. Totally recommended.

    I've loved Diablo since the first one came out and sunk 1000s of hours into D3... this one has been a disappointment so far. A lot of people are complaining about the server issues, and they *are* bad, but the worst part for me is the always online features. The game can't be paused, so have fun getting murdered if you ever have to answer the door or take a phone call.

There's no option for single player, so watching other PCs enter your game and so stuff you were working on for you.

    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.

    This game will be good in like a year or two after a dozen or so patches, but at launch, it's tough to enjoy.    … Expand

    Long time D3 player and so much about D4 feels like a step backwards. Incredibly grindy, and it never feels like you have the upper hand. Spend 80% of the game trying not to get ohk'd by everything and not able to deal meaningful damage. Massive scaling issues as you level and the whole thing feels like running underwater.

    It has potential, but it just feels like Diablo 3 with a few new things at the end of the day. Feels like it's still in beta, and it feels like they knew this as well. Graphically good, the story is okay but not revolutionary. Hell tides are a nice addition but become a chore over time. This is a PC review, and I'm a little disappointed how 9 years of development led to this.It has potential, but it just feels like Diablo 3 with a few new things at the end of the day.

This is a PC review, and I'm a little disappointed how 9 years of development led to this.

    However, the world looks amazing. Skills do feel pretty fluid and look half-decent. The music is great. it's worth a playthrough...although I think just once. Here are the issues I had with the game.

    -The Mount system is really bad, the way it moves, doesn't move, and bugs are awful.
    - Invisible walls all over the map, most notably coming out of cities.
    -Massive loading lag in certain areas.
    -The stash is a 4th of the size it should be. 1 character will fill up the entire thing, not well thought out for multiple characters.
    - No search in the stash which is AWFUL, you have to save up legendaries and it is so tedious to mouse over every single item to check things.
    - Resists and defenses seem to be bugged, many people reporting this. This is a HUGE problem.
    - because of the resist issues, elixirs feel pretty useless outside of the XP bonus they give
    - NM dungeons bug out and kick you out sometimes while in a party
    - Too much screen clutter during battle, sometimes you cant see enemy attacks at all. Its a bit much.
    -Running to every NM dungeon feels tedious, especially with how the mounts are.
    -Some dungeons are unable to be completed due to bugs of objectives.
    - Very little build diversity (so far) I went to lvl 100, and I felt pigeonholed into going into 1 or 2 builds at most. All other builds weren't just slightly worse, they were almost unplayable.
    - The UI is horrendous, it's very mobile-like, with no customization. No name or health bar above your head. No map overlay options.
    - the PC UI is clunky, the game was clearly catered towards console, PC is paying the price for it.
    - The HP bubble is very confusing with Fortiy, Shield, and Poisons. HP bar over your head would help this.
    - Almost no endgame content. It's a never-ending loop of helltides and NM dungeons. They are D3 systems renamed. There's a boss at the end, but that's it? Needs more endgame goals.
    - No leaderboards at launch, kind of odd.
    - Itemization is not as hype as they make it. It is very basic but slightly better than D3...I guess?
    - Some loot rewards just don't feel worthy enough in some parts of the game.
    - World bosses are very basic, Not a challenge in any way, shape, or form.
    - Can't block people spamming emotes, gets pretty annoying
    - objects in the open world cause you to get stuck all the time
    - The notifications for world events are basically non-existent, so you end up missing some or needing to use a website to keep track of things.
    - Quest log does not track your old quests. So at a certain point, you cannot retrace and find the ones you are missing. Many people are stuck not knowing where to go to complete these currently outside of using a website and retracing all of their steps in every zone.    … Expand

    Diablo 4, the highly anticipated installment in the iconic franchise, delivers a solid experience that shows promise for the future of the series. While it may not be without its flaws, the game manages to capture the essence of the Diablo universe and offers a satisfying journey for both new and returning players. Here's why Diablo 4 deserves recognition for its notable improvements andDiablo 4, the highly anticipated installment in the iconic franchise, delivers a solid experience that shows promise for the future of the series. While it may not be without its flaws, the game manages to capture the essence of the Diablo universe and offers a satisfying journey for both new and returning players. Here's why Diablo 4 deserves recognition for its notable improvements and potential to evolve.

    One of the standout aspects of Diablo 4 is its dark and atmospheric world. The game's visuals are impressive, featuring detailed environments that effectively convey the foreboding nature of Sanctuary. From eerie forests to desolate wastelands, each location feels distinct and adds depth to the overall experience. The attention to detail in the art design and atmospheric effects creates a moody ambiance that immerses players in the grim and treacherous world.

    Combat in Diablo 4 is engaging and enjoyable, particularly for those who revel in hack-and-slash gameplay. The fluid animations and impactful abilities make every encounter thrilling, as you unleash devastating attacks against hordes of demons. The variety of character classes provides different playstyles to suit individual preferences, offering options for both close-quarters combat and long-range spellcasting. Although combat mechanics may not introduce groundbreaking innovations, they do stay true to the satisfying and addictive core gameplay that fans have come to expect.

    Diablo 4 features an open-world design that encourages exploration and discovery. The vast landscapes are filled with dungeons, side quests, and hidden treasures, making each journey off the beaten path feel rewarding. While the open-world aspect is a departure from the linear structure of previous Diablo games, it offers a sense of freedom and adventure that breathes new life into the series. The day-night cycle and dynamic weather system add further immersion, creating a living world that evolves as you progress.

    The narrative in Diablo 4 aims to delve deeper into the lore of the franchise, and while it may not be groundbreaking, it does provide an intriguing backdrop for your adventures. The storytelling is serviceable, with memorable characters and cinematic cutscenes that drive the plot forward. However, the pacing occasionally feels uneven, and the narrative fails to reach the same heights as some of its predecessors. Nonetheless, the story provides a solid foundation that sets the stage for potential expansions and future content.

    Multiplayer remains a core element of the Diablo experience, and Diablo 4 embraces cooperative gameplay with open arms. Joining forces with friends or other players online enhances the fun, as you embark on epic quests together or engage in challenging group activities. The multiplayer aspect fosters a sense of camaraderie and adds longevity to the game, ensuring that the Diablo community can continue to thrive. However, Blizzard's decision to implement an always-online requirement for Diablo 4 is somewhat of a drawback that sometimes interferes and hampers the overall enjoyment of the game.

    While Diablo 4 has its share of strengths, it's important to acknowledge that the game is still a work in progress. Some areas, such as itemization, endgame content, inventory management and UI customization could benefit from further refinement and expansion. Additionally, occasional technical issues and balance concerns may arise, impacting the overall experience. However, Blizzard's commitment to ongoing updates and improvements gives hope for the game's future.

    In summary, Diablo 4 may not be a flawless masterpiece, but it presents a solid foundation upon which the franchise can build. With its captivating world, satisfying combat, open-world exploration, and multiplayer focus, the game offers an enjoyable experience that holds promise for the Diablo series. As updates and expansions continue to shape the game, Diablo 4 has the potential to grow into an exceptional addition to the franchise.    … 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.

    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]
