    There is no really point to play that game. You must finish campaign which is repetitive and bad to reach rest of content which really does not exist.

    It feels like playing a beta version with so many bugs, wrong decisions and bad design. What a huge pity! After dedicating so many hours to the game, I feel I have wasted my time with no true sense of accomplishment. Keeping on playing this game would be synonymous with self-flagellation.

    D4 is great, if it was made 10-12 years ago. The game mechanics are hot garbage is more mundane than even D3. This game has ZERO unique content to it and gives the most boring replay value. Between level 1-50 you experienced all the variations of the game. All you do at that point is suffer through repetition.

And before you say "thats an ARPG" I've been playing them for decades now and D4 found a way to make the grind actually feel like a grind, no redeeming factors.

    I hit level 52 and found the following 20 levels to feel the EXACT SAME as level 50-52. Blizzard seems to have not come up with any unique content that makes you want to level. I started season 1 and within the first 2 hours I was already bored. I have no clue what they are doing over there but this game is vanilla AF.

    Its official FOR ME, Blizzard no longer knows how to make games. An OG fan of their games since I was 10, in 1995. Warcraft2, Warcraft 3, Diablo, Diablo 2,D2 resurrected, Starcraft, broodwars, Starcraft 2, and WoW vanilla-BC player.

    As far as Im concerned, Blizzard launcher is something I will never install again and they are quickly sliding below the likes of Ubisoft and EA.    … Expand

    it's a shame. this class imbalance is disgusting. empty content (laughter and not the first season), the problem with farming black hearts (why? this is temporary content!!!! make it easier, but no...), endless self-repetition for the same activities and territories. All! This game is over for me. I wish I bought this garbage

    This is not a entertainment product, this is a tool for them to grab money from you. You don't feel fun, you feel time wasting when playing this.

    This game is terrible. I wish I paid so much money for it. Once again, I believed all these stories about the great, from the small game studio Blizzard. Baldur's Gate 3 is out now, which has a more interesting demo than the full version of Diablo 4

    So, here we are. The game looks nice, probably because it is super zoomed in and made for consoles. But the rest? World Tiers, Renown, mob density, no gem bag, no stash or bag space in general, terrible itemization in general, the list goes on and on. What a massive step back from Diablo 3.

Truly shows how tone-deaf and ignorant the developers are for this company. But I can only say "Thank you!" to the Blizzard developers. You've reignited my love for Grim Dawn and am back playing an actual fantastic game!… Expand

    Repetitive gameplay and a tedious grind with little rewards. The developer has implemented patches to make the grind longer and harder via nerfs that they claim as game balances.Wasted my money, Don't buy if you have not. There are more worthy games that deserve your money and time. Try Baldur's Gate 3 or Amour Core 6.

    I'll change this score once the dev team actually starts listening to feedback. We will get feedback tho, around a "campfire", where they will 100% defend their own opinions and weird changes they have made so far.

    The game design is a joke. No respect for player's time, you work days for a build so it gets nerfed into the ground.
    Oh and whoever designed Uber Lilith oneshot wave spam in that arena of the same color should not work in game dev. Have a 0 and enjoy your joke of a game.

    They took a solid core and absolutely decimated it with the last patch. Basically 40% less damage, Mobs have more health and they reward almost 50% less experience. All a money grab for seasons and lack of end game content.

    One of the Worst Launches in Blizzard History and By far THE WORST launch of the Diablo franchise, The game is clearly an 80$ beta that should have been pushed back by 6 months minimum or actually given to a dev who respects and understands the franchise let alone gaming in general...

NO respect for my time NO respect for my DOLLARS SPENT cash grab after cash grab has me really begging you all to stop supporting this kind of garbage over and over and over again tell blizzard how garbage this game is AND STOP! accepting LESS for MORE... they copy paste from Path of Exile (a free to play) yet they dont even take its best aspects or adjust for the fact this is an 80$ game (if playing online... Really sad to see my childhood basically exploited and parted out for money. Lets base it just off the BUGS ALONE.... the amount of time I have had to do certain things to get rid of bugs ***SPOILER***** Having to remount my horse over and over and over again or having to take my gear off and put them back on so my skills would work resist still DOES NOTHING and treasure goblins just go poof after killing them half the time and thats about 1/3rd the entire list of time wasting frustrating bugs... for those who say this is the best Diablo game so far you clearly never played DIABLO 2 and/or LOD because this is a dumpster fire no matter who released it or what franchise it is ITS AN 80$ BETA no matter how you slice it.… Expand

    Just doing my part. Greedy practices deserve no praise.

    Blizzard is a shell of it's former self. This will be my last diablo game until there's new management or a tectonic shift in their business strategy.

    game systems, designs (not graphics), utility (storage, trash horse, get stuck in every fkin corner), endgame (platforming "HARD" boss and spam same dungeons 20 billion times), and the DEV PATCH "BALANCING THE GAME" by nerfing EVERYTHING by 70% and buffing stuffs by 2%

    Bad game, Season 1 is **** sorry.
    The Battlepass also simply makes no sense, why should you spend money to be able to earn something in a month, which is only temporary anyway?

    If you already take money in your hand, then you want to have it directly, so we players are forced to play actively.

    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]
