    I was quite hyped for the new season and thought it would be fun, but after skipping the campaign (which I realise now is the only really fun part) I understood how completely devoid of content the endgame is. This is why blizzard tried to slow everyone's progress, because there is nothing fun to do after it is finished.
    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

    It's a **** waste of money game, I'm curious about the development team's understanding of the character, how come the Sorceress has less than 3 builds to do? And why do patches get nerfed every time?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Never ever believe the critic reviews.

    Decent campaign. Boring gameplay, Zero endgame.
    Devs have no clue what they are doing.

    Marketing team did their job selling so much copies of this crap. Game design was the lowest priority i guess. Slow paced combat, long animation locks, waiting for cooldowns before engaging, the extreme amount of CC received and the boss fights being nothing more than an eye-candy. I had so much hope in the game, played the betas with such enthusiasm and coped hard that it won't suck, butMarketing team did their job selling so much copies of this crap.

    What a sad excuse for a game.

    I should have known better after being burned so many times by Blizz and how poorly they have treated their games as of recently yet I was dumb and nostalgia drove me to purchase. I made a character to about level 60 and then I was completely burnt out. Its the same thing over and over and over again. There is no variety in the end game activities at all.

Billion dollar "AAA" studio can't even get it right.

    So I dropped it hoping that when season 1 started it would bring with it fresh new mechanics, different bosses, new endgame content.. Well... We all know how that turned out.

    What a complete disappointment. With D4 being released into a timeframe with other massive releases at least we get to experience proper, well designed and finished games this summer. Blizz deserves all the hate they are getting and maybe just maybe they can figure their **** out and produce something with substance which will take years, if at all. The only good thing about the game was the campaign/cinematics but then you go look at the predatory microtransaction page and see what they are charging and how much of a rip off it is and then even the fun feeling of that goes away because a 100 dollar game is still trying to suck every last dollar out of you.

    I regret ever buying this dumpster fire. I am actually getting mad as I type this out that is how pissed I am at myself for giving them money. Worst part of it is that they don't care. If anyone wants to play a proper ARPG, go play Path Of Exile, Last Epoch or Grim Dawn. Don't waste your time and money with a company that does not care about its player base.    … Expand

    Good first impression and then a steep decline in quality, playability and design and finaly just not fun to play.
    Blizzard apparently released a buggy, unfinished, unpolished product and then starts nerfing indiscriminently without even understanding or listenig to the extremely unhappy playerbase.
    Just look at the extreme discepency between the "bought" critic reviews and the player reviews.

    Game released to early. Key elements of the game not working or as intended. Resistances, mount, spells, aspects, etc. Social connecting is terrible on this, no LFG etc... I have a list of about 50 items i sent in during beta along with bugs that are just being addressed. Sad that blizzard didn't improve on this release. Lesson not learned with diablo 3.

Now I can't play for five minutes without a crash, and that is with graphics settings turned way down and FPS capped. I might spend time finding a workaround for a game that was worth playing, but D4, frankly, isn't. I bought this game at full price so I could participate in the season events. I will usually wait until a game has been out for a while to purchase. REALLY wish I could take that back, now. Just uninstalled.… Expand

    Diablo 4 left me unimpressed, lacking the spark that makes a game truly engaging. Its gameplay felt like a repetitive chore, failing to captivate my interest. The excitement and depth I anticipated were absent, leaving me with a sense of blandness. While some may find enjoyment, my experience was one of unmet expectations and a lack of the immersive qualities that make RPGs memorable.

I very much enjoyed the Diablo series of games and played them to death. This time, more than ever I am completely over the experience. I have enjoyed playing this game with my friends and wife. I’ve sunk ridiculous hours into this game only to be met with constant disappointment. You find yourself literally gated behind extremely low percentage drops. My friends have since been a lot luckier than I have with drops and have progressed past me. I feel like the welfare member of the group, even though I have sunk many more hours into the game. The ‘chance of drop’ system is archaic and extremely unimaginative. You might actually have to do something new Blizzard other than make prettier dead people on the screen and invent newer and more enjoyable systems so that people can play together.

    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]
