    in the first season they completely changed the balance of the game, it became boring to play, other players do not want to play with me because in the party the level of opponents is many times higher. As a result, go through to run alone. sadness

    Was okay before. Really gorgeous. Game still stutters all of the time and I realized that after about level 70, the game doesn't change. There just doesn't feel like there's any incentive to keep playing. Season 1 was a ray of light, but upon realize, it's garbage. All of the things that made grinding annoying, go worse.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the 5th Diablo game including Diablo Immortal that came out a short while ago. I got to a reasonable level of 76 before the patch was implemented. I did enjoy the beginning of the game. The middle and towards the endgame was horrible. The main boss isn't even a prime evil. She felt more like a sub boss at best. Paragon isn't a true paragon. They should just call it max level 100. In previous titles, both D3 and Immortal, the paragon levels was separate and infinite. When you completed the season your paragon experience would transfer to your non seasonal characters. With the current play style, it's impossible. There's no pets which would make it easier to pick up gold for you. There's no set legendaries like there was in the previous 2 titles. The mount is as slow as my character. And for being an open world where they supposedly sold 10 million copies, the game always feels empty. The guild I was in no one ever talked, even though it was an option. And the people I ran with were just rude and only wanted to do the content they could do ( NM dungeons 50 ). When I was running into a real problem. I kept getting levels, but the lvls was not what I was needing. I was needing gear and aspects from legendaries which never dropped my entire playthrough. My advice for developers, if it ain't broke don't fix it. In other words reevaluate aspects of previous installments of the franchise (and not just D2) that made the game fun and work off of that.

    Despite having some moderate amount of "fun" during the beta, the full game turned out exactly as i predicted based on my experience with how modern Blizzard does video games - a polished turd. They baited the public, then balanced every last drop of fun from the game and turned it into a tedious, and ultimately pointless rat maza grind.

Just to kill one boss..? my buddy quit too when he learned about restarting the new season with a new character.. there is no endgame content, that’s why you have to start a new character and it gets SO MUCH BORING, why am I doing the map renowns again??

    After the patch game and some animations got very slow, you can’t even kill basic mobs, feels like you are beating a wall.

    No good lots, not enought stashes, I spent time checking items more than I play game, so boring. I was very excited for the game and cross platform, they said would be better with the new season but all got worse.

    We get in dungeon and I don’t even see my char, in the end we don’t even see who dealt the most damage, killed most etc. game is so dull. It can be fixed but there will be no players left till they fix. I am so sorry. I will not do the same things again and again for nothing.

    Just as many others have already said - The game is pretty but also soulless and boring. The non-stop waves and hordes of enemies isn't fun in the slightest bit. You just mash and click buttons until the vague and mostly indistinguishable moving objects surrounding you stop moving.

The non-stop waves and hordes of enemies isn't fun in the slightest bit. You just mash and click buttons until the vague and mostly indistinguishable moving objects surrounding you stop moving. Then you pick up the largely useless gold and items that don't really help you in any significant way. I was fully kitted out with yellow items top to bottom by level 14. What's even the point of blue items? And really, even the yellow items aren't usually all that special.
    Diablo I and II were insanely fun games. There was a formula that worked so well that people literally played them for years and even decades (D2). DIII was ok-ish but everyone knew D2 was better. How can the developers at Blizzard be so obtuse? Why make moving through the game so mind numbing? Why get rid of the value of gold? Why not make yellow (and orange) items hard to find and worth it when they are? Why make enemy combat an endless, confusing button smash slog? I literally can't tell what most enemies look like or what they're even doing to me. It's just visual noise.
    Why was D2 so much better than D1? Because it was bigger and gave us more characters. Sure there was some pretty cool innovation with the gems and rune system but the basic game play didn't change.
    I feel like D4 is a pretty looking Diablo clone that got all the reasons why Diablo was so fun completely wrong. This kind of misstep would be ok if these games came out every 5 years. But to wait almost 12 years? For this? It's just flat out unacceptable.

    I gave this review a 0 since I've seen worse. However, the most recent patch devastated every class, with the weakest class taking the largest impact. When I log in, my Sorc is doing 80% less damage than before the patch. The game isn't playable, and based on how long it takes them to fix something (if they solve it at all), I'll be done with D4 well before that day arrives.t
    It demonstrates that Blizzard does not value the players' time. They have done their best to boost in-game time by stretching the game out to show their stakeholders increased hours played. Will this ever go wrong for them?

Season one has also been a disappointment, with the same repetitive grind content coupled with a new mechanic that rarely delivers anything exhilarating. So many patches, so many balances and fixes, and my game still crashes once or twice per session. If a good build becomes to powerful, its “balanced,” why try new builds to begin with when they could possibly be nuked. Slogging through even the most basic mobs now is a massive chore because damage and cool down have been significantly reduced.

    long story short diablo 4 is a shiny turd with beautifull graphics hiding a shallow boring game that doesn't deserve to be part of the diablo franchise, diablo 3 was better!

    ps; do NOT buy the ultimate version. 150$ gives you absolutely nothing of true value. save your money and skip diablo 4 altogether until very deep sale. once you beat the campaign and reach lvl 50 the game has nothing else to offer

    Worst game ever. I've never seen such a lack of communication between developers and users. It's obvious they've never played a game. The creators of the game enjoy causing discomfort and discomfort to users. They're all sadists.

    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.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been a huge fan of the Diablo series for 25 years now. I had heard something about Blizzard getting on shaky ground, but I didn't pay much attention to it as I don't have a lot of time to be an active part of the gaming community. When I saw the offer to purchase the game, it brought about sentimental feelings that it would be a worthy continuation of the second installment, although I found the price to be a bit steep, especially considering the main competitor is a free-to-play game (PoE).

    The visual aspect is of high quality, and the atmosphere is on point with great animations, etc. However, the game design feels raw, the balance is not great, and the endgame content is quite weak. It seems like the developers were rushed into releasing the game, and it ended up being unfinished. The next patch only made optimizations worse and disrupted the progression and balance. The seasonal system and battle passes are just nonsense; it's evident that the managers at Activision Blizzard are simply greedy people who sacrificed creativity for profit. This approach will only alienate the remaining loyal audience. Perhaps, this is the fate of large corporations - to become dull garbage towards the end of their life cycle.

    Bad:
    - sad writing of story, its seen better days with regards to storytelling and this is the least worst thing.
    - lots of bugs still blocking progression, day 1 quest bug that is still not fixed.
    - unbalanced leveling experience with several progression walls (yes, several, not 1 or 2).
    - 80 to 10 frame drops out of nowhere with latest drivers (not running on the best video card tbh but if it can produce a steadily 60-80 for at least 80% of the time, the drops are irregularities)
    - features feel outdated, the grinding game is too strong and no incentive to come back
    - no point in continuing because there are too many things wrong with the game

    Worst bit is that after a month of break away from the game to give it time to stop disappointing it hasn't made much progress. 1 month of no real tangible improvement in a 2 mo old game, feels abandoned by devs only to have leads come up on stage to promise things.

    I really wish the best in terms of improvements, my frustration comes from the love I have for the francize and genre.

    And that's not to mention how broken a lot of things are in general, like resistances not even working? Several design issues that don't seem to get an improvement. Control issues for PC, and from what I hear also control issues for console. Plus a weird chatwheel which might make sense on console, but why is it in a PC-game where I should be able to bind any of my keyboard keys? The loot and crafting system and progressing to become stronger, does not feel like its really working or making an impact, it becomes a drag to continue.

    I'm not too happy losing my HC barb due to the game silently disconnecting me, where everything kept on playing almost entirely as normal, and when you realize something is slightly off, its already too late and you're dead. I'm used to HC, used to losing characters to stupid things, in PoE I've at some point had lag issues killing off a character, but at least there you notice the lag, and decide to push on anyway, and fail. I did not however decrease my score over this, its just another thing showing how broken things are... Actually kind of happy my char died so I have a reason not to play this game. That being said, I didn't play season one, I didn't play the first nerf-patch.

    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.
