The Barb is nearly unplayable, and the druid is better than before but is still almost unplayable against bosses especially hardcore where their damage output is the lowest of all the classes and has equal defense to the sorceress. The rogue has good damage output but has almost no defense so is also unplayable in hardcore. Please buy Baulders Gate.… Expand

    They turned an arpg looter power fantasy series into a greed grind. This game is good at stripping you of any sense of feeling accomplished, and the money from your wallet with bloated prices for cosmetics that you don't really see very well in an isometric game anyway, season passes which is a grind ON TOP OF stripping your accrued progress on you to force you to do it all again.

    For an ARPG there really wasn't much action and the only role I really feel like I played was "The Sucker" for paying for it.

    3. 各種自我感覺良好的宣傳態度，毫不在乎玩家心之所向
    4. 玩法設計不良(抗性機制、巔鋒盤沒一鍵重置、沒搜尋裝備功能等)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even Diablo 4 designers don't play the game, what do you expect out of the game, they made the game so frustrating, and bugs everywhere, sometimes you don't even realize that's a bug or it's meant to be like that. tbh, I enjoyed the game when it first came out, but a recent patch made me feel like they didn't care what users thought, the only thing they cared is how they can drive users to stay in the game longer, so they made the game harder without thinking what negative impact the patch will cause to the game, they fixed bursting venom, now my rogues left.… Expand

    I have never reviewed a game. I created this account specifically for this review.

    This game is complete trash. Especially in comparison to D3. It is soulless and empty. It is extremely grindy. Leveling experience is good until about level 10-20, than its just garbage. Super boring. The story is mid but mind numbing a couple acts in a not interesting to follow. The background art is utter trash. The world map is huge but its the same boring background of desert and plains. A lot of running and wasting time in the same boring environment. You never feel strong during the leveling process.

    I have been waiting for years for this to squad with the boys, but this is just garbage. Not even close to D3.

    I would refund if I could but you cant refund after 2 hours played. Blizz is officially dead. Soulless corporation that only wants your dollars. Buy this game if you hate yourself and the gaming community and want to buy bobby another yacht.    … Expand

    Levels 20-55 or 60 give players a false sense that this is leading somewhere when really, you've essentially played all there is to play by the time you're 60% leveled up.

    I don't know how they thought Season 1's gems would change the game in such a way people would be happy about the battle pass or bring people back to the game.

    Then the devs literally punish players instead of enhancing fun with their patches.

    Then they show two devs that are so bad they don't even *accidentally* use core skills or potions like a 5-year-old would if they button mashed, dying in T1 at lvl 55 had to turn off the comments on the YouTube video because Blizzard themselves pushed the negative narrative that devs are disconnected from the games they work on.    … Expand

It honestly just feels like a bubble popping game where the bubbles are demons.. Truly terrible drivel. I'm actually surprised they released this game, let alone releasing this game in the state that it is. The release was one of the scummiest things that I've ever seen a blizzard do, as everybody thought that the battle pass was going to be immediately available to get rewards from day one! But of course no they don't want you to experience MORE things at once so they have to do MORE work COULD YOU MAKE THE GAME ACTUALLY INTERESTING, SO THEY HAD TO STRING IT OUT AND LET YOU BEAT THE GAME AND THEN THEY GAVE YOU THE BATTLE PASS. The battle pass mind you doesn't give you enough to buy the next battle pass nor does it allow you to buy anything of use in the store! Not to mention the dark pattern that exists for controller players where you will automatically click on it by pressing a which is so unfortunate, greedy, and disgusting that they are refusing refunds for the token. Bobby Kotick is the worst thing that has ever happened to gaming. Activision is the worst thing that has ever happened to getting so for them the two forces to be combined is the most shamefully disgusting and scummy company to ever exist. I'm just glad that while I was playing the game I never saw anybody with any purchased cosmetics, and the one time that I did I made fun of the guy. He actually apologized and told me it wasn't worth it lmao. I'm so sad to see the state of gaming nowadays and I'm so happy to see that Baldur's Gate 3 is going to kick the s*** out of you guys for years to come.

    What are you stupid? Everyone was already planning on playing it.
    Put a patch to nerf the entire game and punish 6 million players because FIVE (5) YouTubers found a way to break it and one shot Lilith. Who the F cares!? You know what, forget it. It's all old news. Everyone has already said it. So never mind, I have nothing further to say about that stuff.

    However, I finished the Season 1 Journey. I got my final reward, I opened it, then I quit.
    F U Blizzard! F U DIV Dev team!
    300 hundred hours into trying to find a way to love this game and you dump this crappy reward on all of the people who where foolish enough to hold out hope and keep the faith that something good would come and actually finish it.
    It did not! You should all be ashamed of yourselves for this. Most of you at D4 should be fired.
    The lies, the manipulation that you try to pull over on the fans, the customer, the people who spent money on something that was supposed to be good. Then you have the nerve, the audacity to say: "It's okay to not play the game" "It's okay to stop playing" Well no s**t sherlock! You already have all our money! So why would you give two s**t's about us, the costumer, the fans?

    They said "Play your way" Play the way you want" "Build what you want"
    Um, where is that?

    Do you want to have a real example of "Play your way" "Do what you want" "Do anything anywhere to whomever or what ever you want to"

    In general, the game is very poor, the story is not bad, but the endgame is one of the worst things I've seen in my more than 30 years of playing video games. Many things can be said, but it can be summed up by the fact that it is an extremely boring game, with mechanics designed by children. It seems like a game from 15 years ago, with no content and no motivation to keep playing.

    I don't know why I still hoped that Blizzard could manage to make a decent game, but even this time, it's a total letdown. The latest patch is the confirmation that they don't even know which direction to take for improvements. If I could go back in time, I wouldn't buy it, as I won't buy any of their games blindly anymore. Embarrassing for a company of this size.

    Diablo 4 should rather be named as "Hell 4 U". It was funny to play at the start, but lack of content, lack of boss variety, short story, awful season just destroying the experience.
    In case new bosses, activities and season content added I'd likely to get back.
    For now, not playing and even regreting buying it.

    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]
