    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only fun aspect of D4 was to level Up to 100. The END game is so terrible boring and unrewarding. Everything with this game is made Up of bad RNG mechanics. You dont get any satisfaction by grinding higher tiers in NM Dungeons, you just get random bullcraps. Dont even get me started with the helltide events. You get random stuffs that you need to look out for. So you sit there going through tons of THOUSANDS bullcrap variables , sure you get some obols you can buy RANDOM things. And worst part is that you cant even create specific dungeon Keys for your favourite Dungeons, it ALSO has to be random garbage. There isnt anything in this game that isnt lottery based , except that you can pick which lottery you wanna spend your time with. And Blizzard is purely doing what they are known for, nerfing Classes to obliteration and dosnt bat THE eyes when they see other Classes MELTING uber Lilith under 90 stupid seconds. 1: How about rewarding 1 item that your character actually could use after you finish a high end dungeon so that you actually feel rewarded. 2 : Make players to be able to PICK the exact enchants they want, and lets US atleast enchant 2 attributes. Not just 1. 3 : Let the players Craft the exact NM dungeon key they want to farm. Keep the affixes random .

    4 : Helltides chest/mob buff didnt work so Up it again. 5 : Nerf all classes to barbarians level so that they All Must fight a 7 minute fight. And they have to use 1 META BUILD and there is no way around that.    … Expand

    The giant fell, and his body began to rot and deteriorate into a puddle of blood. The only hope now is that Microsoft's acquisition of Blizzard will make things better.

    Many bugs, Sometimes can't go to world boss area. There are only 4 slots in the warehouse, will it still affect the owner of the server?

    We will not be developing an endgame, we will just nerf the classes and reduce the experience gained. And we will also sell the battle pass without confirmation.
    Oh yes, we will also change the balance in each patch.
    It's not an AAA game, it's a beta test for 70 bucks.
    All I can say is "Blizzard, play this **** yourself" :)

    D4改来改去就是在数值上加减加减做文章，技能搭配、变种、多样性根本毫无建树，还有背包小，刷点贵，根本不让你混着流派玩。实在没想到有这么多经典的同类型游戏可以做借鉴，《D4》还做的这么无创意。我怀疑是不是暗黑4的框架没做好，如果设计师现在把好玩的放出来游戏就会卡。正如设计师说的多开背包页大家就会卡······wtfD4改来改去就是在数值上加减加减做文章，技能搭配、变种、多样性根本毫无建树，还有背包小，刷点贵，根本不让你混着流派玩。实在没想到有这么多经典的同类型游戏可以做借鉴，《D4》还做的这么无创意。我怀疑是不是暗黑4的框架没做好，如果设计师现在把好玩的放出来游戏就会卡。正如设计师说的多开背包页大家就会卡······wtf

    Devs have made a solid effort to listen to the community & try to fix the things that make this game imperfect. It’s a pretty solid experience IMO, but it’s also my first time playing a Diablo game. The game can get a bit 1-dimensional at times however…

    The worst game I've played on PS5 with
    constant lag and crashed! I couldn't understand the point of making Diablo 4 with the need of server connection. This is not a MMORPG. I can only see the fact that Blizzard wants to earn as much as they could with season content.

    Great campaign, great story, great combat, great open world, great visuals, great classes. Yes the game needs some QoL improvements and more endgame content, but it's an insanely solid base.

    Don't believe all the butthurt jabronis giving it a 0. They are just trolling and whining because of 1 bad patch.

    I feel so sad I bought a Ultimate Edition. Diablo 4 is not worthy to play. I give 1 score for main story. My Sor is so weak and diablo4 team nerf my level 80 sor again , that's .... Anyway, don't buy Diablo4, just wait for another 1 or 2 years. Then if you still interested, you can come back and check. Diablo4 is a mess right now. Don't buy diablo 4.

    他們摧毀了幾乎每個人玩暗黑破壞神4的意願和動力。補丁 1.1 應該不要存在。
    但相反，他們將這些職業削弱到了遺忘的地步，因為巫師甚至不再能玩。 暴雪作為一家公司已經失去了聯繫，並且完全失去了與玩家群體的感覺或聯繫。 Nerf aft nerf aft nerf Nerf aft nerf aft nerf Nerf aft nerf aft nerf Nerf aft nerf aft nerf Nerf aft nerf aft nerf    未完成的遊戲。沒有結局，節奏緩慢，玩起來不好。

    I quit playing D4 today after reaching lvl 27 as a druid playing solo. It was fun playing for the first week when I started, but now after the latest patch I just lost any interest in the game. It needs an offline mode and Buzzard should stop changing the game all the time. I'll stick with D3 for the moment and maybe come back in a few months, when D4 hopefully became playable.

    Game was fun for about 20 hours then its boring, Level scaling needs to be removed. Big open world feels so empty and everything feels padded and over bloated.

I guess Blizzard making a game to please everyone, made a great game at pleasing nobody. Casual Players (like Myself will leave as its boring after a while, and hardcore ARPG fans will leave as there are better alternatives to play) I feel the aim to make the console controls hurt the skill variety available and that could be fixed with load outs, the loot fills the LIMITED chest space so fast. I played the game in World Tier 2 and it was easy, like boring easy… put my brain in autopilot and before you know it I’m at the end, and wishing I spent my time on another game. Really sad Blizzard used to make amazing games that were fun and have focused on making an endless chore game where you hopefully pay more money on top of a $70 game… Was fun for about 20 hours then it’s over… So if you want a 20 hour game I guess it’s ok, but if you expected a 200+ hour game it is not… Maybe like D3 it will get fixed. But I think it’s a case of a lot of potential, and just not there yet, maybe it will turn into something good, but its boring now.… Expand

    So I have played this game on both Ethernal and Seasonal Realms to 100 on arguably one of the best classes so far - rogue. I killed Uber Lilith and did high Tier (not 100 yet) but 80+ dungeons. I did all the crafting, helltides, open world, campaign, renown farm and so on that is in the game before forming my opinion.

    Good things about the game: - In-game Music - Graphics/Visuals    So I have played this game on both Ethernal and Seasonal Realms to 100 on arguably one of the best classes so far - rogue. I killed Uber Lilith and did high Tier (not 100 yet) but 80+ dungeons. I did all the crafting, helltides, open world, campaign, renown farm and so on that is in the game before forming my opinion.

    Good things about the game:
    - In-game Music
    - Graphics/Visuals bring a new generation, but others are catching up
    - Number of buttons reduction (i.e. less potions etc.)
    and that is it.

    Bad Things is pretty much everything else. Starting with the most important the dev team is clearly corporate job people who blindly follow policies and metrics with zero novel ideas about the game. That is why they were able to destroy whatever was somewhat OK in the game before Season 1 with the crazy patch coming out. For example D4 is supposed and can work as a fairly casual game with console support where people can enjoy for a few hours a day ... and you go and nerf XP to the ground so that it takes forever to level?! Makes no logical sense. Now they backtracking with monster density improvements and etc., which will probably bring a whole other set of issues on the technical front.

    In any case looking at the core loop gameplay before the patch there was a bit more variety with the Helltide and we all had to do the Campaign, renown etc. Now it is literally Just Nightmare dungeons (same 6-8 ones as the others are horrible) on repeat. Why kill Helltide with the patch again -> makes no sense as game lacks content anyhow?

    Still, even if the game boils down to just repeating the same NM dungeons over and over a hardcore ARPG player like me can handle that. However, something destroys the fun out of this completely --- itemization and loot. Remember this game has super limited stash space where you actually have a very hard time playing with more than 2 different characters (as most stash is shared). But that aside there is an extraordinary amount of useless loot dropping that you have to vendor. However, since there is no loot filter one actually has to read through all of it and check the affixes to make sure it is in fact trash. So after EVERY dungeon, you spend about the same amount or half of it (if you are fast) reading and vendoring. And you have to be selective as remember ... the stash space. This just destroys all flow and fun of the game to the point where stuff drops and I'm not wondering if its something cool, but weather or not it is worth picking it up and reading with the super high chance it will be trash to vendor. Personally that is the main reason I also quit the game and rate it as 0/10 given that 30-50% of my gametime is devoted not to slaying monsters and playing the game, but inventory, stash and item management. Furthermore, what the devs did making ALL other content irrelevant with that patch including outside world and world bosses and helltides just shows me that they have zero idea about the direction and improvement of the game so I'm really not at all positive for the future.

    Lastly a score is also related to what the competition is offering and PoE plus Last Epoch and others are just delivering. With PoE 2 comming maybe next year and developments such as when you disconnect you come back in the same world state before, compared to Blizz devs not capable to provide a loot filter just gives me no confidence in the future of this game. Of course this is a personal opinion, but fun is really NOT the name of the game for Diablo 4 currently and in the foreseeable future.    … Expand

    Endgame is pretty much empty. You run the same helltides, the same nightmare dungeons and the same whispers over and over again.
    I'll pick it up again in season 3 or 4 to see if they've actually made some endgame content yet, but if you've not bought it yet, don't bother, it's a waste of money and time.    … 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]
