Very little skill creativity - skill tree abilities only really have one animation/incantation and leg aspects don’t help this all that much. D4 wants us to do an mmo-like grind and lock us into builds, thus eliminating point 2.

    I remember d3 also had a rough start with auction house and completely unbalanced difficulty tiers, but eventually became great game. I hope d4 can do the same, but d4 core problems seem harder to correct.    … Expand

It’s a fun experience early on, and the campaign is well-crafted, but the late game is extremely lacking and clearly rushed. There’s nothing fun to do after level 70, and itemization and item drops are a huge negative; simply put, there was no thought behind how to ensure a meaningful, positive feedback loop that would keep players hooked. To add to the mediocrity, most builds are unviable after the most recent season 1 patch due to huge reductions in survivability and damage. Blizzard justifies this large patch as being necessary for bringing the game into alignment with their vision, but they have done an awful job of articulating their vision and no one really understands the purpose of their game design outside of driving engagement. One major problem blizzard seemingly hasn’t come to terms with through their game design is that retention > engagement. Retention is driven by long-term value whereas engagement can be built through short-term, trivial, and easily forgettable reward systems that burn out and frustrate customers. A company with low player retention may claim victory for their product at launch, but the damage to their brand over time will be immense if churn is high, and I suspect that after this game, blizzard may not be held in as high esteem as it once was. Brand loyalty = retention and long-term value, and Blizzard is doing a very poor job of understanding this.… Expand

    I don't know why, but for some time AAA game studios treat games only as money making. How is it possible that Blizzard doesn't know anything about their game? 0/10 is not enough for a €70 title that was supposed to be a game for years. And also paid content in the game we pay for. Eh... why is it going this way. This game will be playable in about a year or more. In Season X

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First and foremost, I am a casual gamer. I was not supposed to buy this game but bought it anyway because of how much I enjoyed D3 playing wizard/sorcerer.

    I played sorcerer for the campaign and toughed it out using a frost nova hydra build because it was the most suitable with my playstyle. Battles were usually long and arduous. Later on it became a task. I am mainly a solo player and only encounter other players during world events. That's when I see players 10 levels lower than my sorc from other classes dealing more damage.

    I don't usually look at the numbers (unlike the plyers at reddit which is cool) but the disparity between classes was in plain sight. I thought maybe the sorc will be stronger at 100 but happened upon a 100 sorc in a legion event. Both of us tried to take down a structure but it took painfully long until a druid "TOUCHED" it and took us out of our misery. Honestly it was demoralizing since the druid was lvl 77, I was at 86.

    Basically, a 80+ and a 100 lvl sorc combined, is weaker than a 77 druid. I retired my sorc that night. I would have uninstalled the game but I paid 150+ for this and I have not gotten my money's worth. If I can't get it from the fun aspect, I might as well get it from playtime.

    Created a rogue for season 1 and battles are finally looking up. But...

    Season 1 is underwhelming and frustrating. New dungeon mechanics make it hard to complete for malignant hearts but require a malignant invoker that is not even a guaranteed drop in the same dungeon. Am I supposed to run around dungeons for a "chance" to complete it because that, to me, sound like a scam and a good way to tell me to cut my losses and just uninstall.

    I expected a fun game and a little challenge. I guess Blizzard wanted to build a challenging game more than a fun one so now we get a patch that makes things more difficult, in the process lessening the fun aspect. The game has become more and more uninteresting.

    The only saving grace I have is I share the account with my partner and did not pay twice for a bad game.    … Expand

    Total absence of end game content. Lags and the fact that people were thrown there as testers.

    I would forgive everything though and even go play there Season 1, but Blizzard decided to release a patch. So I spend 200 hours to make proper build, I polished it and day after they just said it is too strong so I can go f... myself and try something else. No buffs of other classes so they would be viable, no increase of difficulty level... no. We just release global nerf and make game harder, so you wont reach level 100 too early as it will kill all the interest.

    Scaling, Scaling, Scaling, overly large, dull open world, repetitive, uninspired combat, scaling, always online, corporate noses firmly ensconced in trough, and Oh yeah! Scaling.  Art and sound design are nice, I suppose. D4 is a game that needs to be taken behind the shed and shot between the eyes in the next few months. If not, then there is truly no justice in the world. Avoid

    No feedback at all from Dia3
    Unfriendly gameplay
    I don't know why there is an open world.
    Numerous sub-quests, do not feel the charm to do
    It's still fun to farm and get stronger, but there are only builds that are worse than Dia3.

    I already described with high precision what's wrong with the game and why it's going to die really soon. Somehow my review got wiped. So this time instead of 4 rating will be 0.

    Update: decided to go "deeper" into endgame. Quickly or rather slowly found out that there is no depth. Legendaries that started dropping and would offer "new" powers proved to be a rather lateral progression, not really changing my build because they can't. After level 50 any "new" thing or any item proved to be a gimmick that could give the expression to some people that the game and how you build your character could be complex and has depth. But it doesn't, it's a shallow autoclick free to play style mobile game. Then the newest patch came out and the next day I found out I'm leveling 30% slower doing the same dungeons, while being the same level. Calculated that in order to get to max level I would need at least 200 more hours just for that. Also found out that some of the really good items wore and had in my stash were destroyed by the patch. Practically salvage now, basically deleted. So they promised they won't wipe the boring altars and renown progress every season. In the same time they decided the players are worth nothing and they can simply delete their items, humiliate them and make them find other items. Such a level of disrespect can be treated only 1 way if a person respects him/her/we self. If they think they are Gods more power to them. I will not spend another second of my time on them. Never again Blizzard or Activision, for any reason, even as a gift. I uninstalled it and their buggy launcher too. Now if someone gifts me the game I will politely refuse it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As an owner of the Ultimate edition, I would like to express my disappointment regarding the rewards.

    Wings: They have a good and epic appearance, but the three-second animation and the animation turning off make it seem like a late April's Fools joke. This item should have the option for users to permanently turn it on or off based on their preference.

    Horse: I can create a better-looking pony using MS Paint. This horse seems like a joke and should have a unique design that stands out as one of a kind.

    Now, let's discuss the game itself:

    Skills: I had higher expectations in terms of the number of base skills and the passives associated with them. There should be a wider variety of skills to provide more options for gameplay.

    Story length: The story is interesting and captivating, but it should be optional for those who are more focused on the end-game. Players should have the choice to engage with the story or skip it if they prefer.

    Leveling: As a casual player who spends around 3-5 hours per day, reaching level 1-40 takes a couple of days, level 40-60 takes a bit longer, and reaching level 60+ can take over a week or even more. The leveling process should be faster, as I lost motivation to continue pushing forward around level 50.

    End game: The endgame content is lacking. Currently, it only consists of PvP and repeated dungeon runs. More alternative progression and endgame content should be introduced to provide players with additional options and goals.

    Ubers: The entire battle system needs to be reworked, as it feels like a kill-or-be-killed scenario. Attempting to learn the mechanics seems useless, as the ubers are overpowered.    … Expand

    Beyond this issue I think the biggest problem with diablo 4 is that the games campaign's bosses are boring as **** compared to diablo 2. Diablo 2's campaign and settings were inherently captivating and each boss was hype due to the unique boss design and the way you beat each one.

    This game is a game that should entertain you for thousands of hours so:
    Campaign - 8 (12-20 hours playtime at best)
    Content/Endgame/Gameplay Loop/ARPG Systems - 2 (the rest of the time you ll spend in D4 if you are an ARPG fan, if you are a campaign/story andy idc). Endgame is booring and unfinished unpolished. Ganeplay loop? Same 2 builds that feel bad. No variety. For a 70$ game? Pathetic

    The game is a 3/10 experience wrapped in an 8/10 package. The visuals engine is great. The sound engine is passable. Yet these things only seem to delay the inevitability of starting to get annoyed by the game.

    Its dark and atmospheric yet the world feels soul-less and empty. So much of the world just lacks anything except a pack of scrub mobs that attempt to hit you as you ride by.    The game is a 3/10 experience wrapped in an 8/10 package. The visuals engine is great. The sound engine is passable. Yet these things only seem to delay the inevitability of starting to get annoyed by the game.

    Its dark and atmospheric yet the world feels soul-less and empty. So much of the world just lacks anything except a pack of scrub mobs that attempt to hit you as you ride by. The open world seems like the basis the whole game was created upon yet it is the thing introducing the most friction into the experience.

    Towns are laid out hilariously poorly. I understand the people saying "it is for immersion" etc but at a certain point I am playing the game to have fun. It is not fun to watch my character slowly walk from black smith to stash to occultist, especially when "the town is lava" is a concept in-grained into many diablo/arpg players.

    Everything the developers could implement to introduce friction, tedium and time waste they took the opportunity to do so. Oh you are enjoying riding your horse for a slight speed boost while running from dungeon to dungeon? Too bad you have to get off every time there is a random ledge the devs added into the map. Oh and then your horse is on a 9 second cool down. It's laughable.

    The combat looks impactful but is actually a slog to experience. This mainly comes down to the level scaling where you are effectively punished for leveling up. Didn't get a good weapon drop? Not impactful passive point (lets be honest - most of them are not impactful)? Then your character just got weaker upon leveling up. Eventually you will out scale the monsters but it really feels like a grind to get there. Even when you hit the scaling tipping point, there is still so little mob density in certain areas that combat still does not become engaging.

    I don't think any hardcore player will argue with the fact that the game is extremely grindy. It requires an immense amount of time as it is to progress, and that time is multiplied by all the added tedium.

    Dungeon design is so bad. So bad. There are maybe 2 interesting tile sets? The rest feel so lifeless and similar. This is particularly confusing because I just spent so much time running to the new dungeon, surely it will look and feel different than the one far away right? Wrong. The actual mechanics of the dungeon are so annoying. "Collect animus from carriers" might as well just read as "kill all elites". There is no surplus of animus, no choice to make in which elites to kill. You have to kill them all. The dungeon layouts are not player friendly and often require backtracking multiple times just to find the remaining elite or straggler to kill. It is extremely unengaging. Or how about the interactables that require you to stand still and channel for 1.5 seconds? It sure would be annoying to have that channeling be stopped by an insignificant auto attack from a white mob (it is).

    Everything they could add to waste your time they did. I won't even get into farming renown (or the thought of having to do it again per season) but wow it is such a boring grind. In a game whose core story is life or death for the characters and sanctuary, it sure seems weird that I am doing so many fetch quests for random NPCs in the world. There is absolutely nothing engaging about the side quest system. Other than adding to the grind, of course.

    There are minimal exciting synergies that are not just a conditional multiplier for damage. Druid seems to be the only class that has some interplay between its elements, or forms and that leads to some interesting builds. The rest not so much. You always feel like you are playing a build the designers intended you to play. That is a big red flag when it comes to game design. There is nothing clever implemented just more damage multipliers. With a weird over reliance on the vulnerability mechanic. Nothing like a status so core to the game you have no option but to find a way to apply it on literally every build. The systems appear like there is more than meets the eye but you are soon disappointed once you make it passed the campaign.

    The most annoying part is these glaring issues will not be immediately apparent to the casual player. The casual player is still having a great time looking at the visuals and slowly killing monsters. That is fine. But all of this culminates into a mediocre experience, and a bad ARPG game.    … Expand

Even more so now PoE 2 is coming out and if Blizzard don't want their game to die in a few weeks they will have to consider their community, not only the people who roar non-stop about which class was very loud. There's no point in listing every single thing about the game, ABSOLUTELY everything good about the game was ruined - I'm not exaggerating at all!

I only have myself to blame. We had the betas and the footage. A game's visuals are only 1% of the whole story. you could see it was just a $100 skin over a bad design and clunky mess. It is as bad or worse than anthem. It has all the same features and flaws except anthems campaign was better and fighting mobs felt decent.

    The campaign... omg the campaign. it took me 15-20 hours to beat the whole campaign but it felt like decades. I just wanted it to be over but it just kept dragging on and on AND ON. And at the end you literally have to fight the same fing bosses over again that you hated fighting the first time. I played on Tier 1 so things would go faster and smoother which it did for the getting from point a to point b with mobs dying fast enough unless you get the archnem mob ( poe reference, and no I hate current poe and don't play it anymore so i'm not just a poe player hating the game ). BUT THE WORST was the "bosses" or "mini bosses" that have the bars. They are just annoying meat bags in the way of playing the game you have to smack down. I guess it wouldn't be THAT bad if it was just a few in the campaign.....no you have to fight one of these boring lame pos every 2 minutes. the campaign would be half as long if they didn't put these artificial bosses that i've already forgotten the names of by the time i'm done fighting them every time you take a step. I could have beaten the campaign a little faster but I was getting the statues and aspects I needed for my build so I could feel stronger and be prepared for endgame when I got there... however it felt pointless since I never felt a power boost ONCE during gameplay. I got all the items I needed and felt like I was lvl 5 with nothing because the mobs just out scale you. The story itself was written by some diversity hire that probably used chat gpt to write most of the plot and dialogue. Most of it was just to artificially increase the game time so people like asmongold can shill and say " at least you got your $100 worth with the time you spent playing it".. pathetic. don't get me started on this guy straight up gaslighting people and blaming them for not liking this trash.

    The endgame is quite literally just diablo immortal and anthem combined. you run around doing nothing but the game says you're doing something so you huff on the copium tank and sit there with a blank stare on your face as you run from location to location.

    The dungeons are the worst most trash pos garbage low iq never played a game in your life design i've ever seen. You know what we want when we do a "dungeon" , "rift", "map"? we want to pop in and BLAST. You know what we get in d4? mini campaign missions, just like in anthem. You go in and you have no idea how long it'll last. They make you pick up ish, they make you find random crap to get things from them, they MAKE YOU KILL 95% OF A DUNGEON THE SIZE OF CALIFORNIA and more..... the worst part? dungeons can have multiple "layers" or "dungeons" in a dungeon and they ALL have one of these requirements to complete it. And what makes it worse is when you just want a dungeon to last 4 minutes and you get 10 cursed shrines and chests.... REMOVE THESE. you know how many times I was fighting the butcher, saw a shrine, and was like "THANK GOD" AND IT WAS A FING CURSED SHRINE!!?!?!?!? TOO MANY!

    Gear is boring. i can see where they were going and i've thought about how a system like this could work before and i'm glad they did it to show me I was wrong. other than that it's not even worth the time to get in to.

    The game has 3 of the 4 big NOPES for me when it comes to games
    1. jumping / climbing puzzles - they're not really puzzles but they exist and ruin horses
    2. mokoko seeds - whoever puts these in games should be in prison for life
    3. paid early access ( days not early access status ) which anthem had too
    4. sailing - there's always room for them to f up.

    Monetization isn't as bad as poe. Insane we don't see a yong yea video about GGG being greedy trash. With that said the game should not have any monetization ffs. I spent 107 bucks on this trash. If I have a cool skin it should be from killing something you greedy fs.

    And no asmon / quin. We don't need to say positive things about everything. it is ABSOLUTELY possible for products to be completely downsides and negatives. stop being shills. you make money off games just for them existing. You can always find a positive cuz your bank account gets bigger no matter how ish it is. I don't have that luxury. I don't need to cope and see a silver lining when they try to shove ish down our throat and call it chocolate ice cream.

I participated in the closed beta about 6 months ago and many of these issues were reported and never fixed. They spent way way more time over marketing an unfinished product rather than focusing on a quality game. The lack of quality of life issues is just mind blowing.

    1. No group finder to play with people.
    Game efficiency is heavily skewed towards being in a group but they make it so challenging to find people to play with.

    2. No world chat? Might as well be playing offline mode except with random disconnects that make me restart endgame dungeons.

    3. Poor town design. Need to run all over the place to salvage items, go to stash, go to occultist/ Hewlett-Packard etc. I don’t want to spend time walking around while people wait for me to get back into the dungeon.

    4. NO loot filter. I legit skip picking up items at times that might be good because there is so much crap and no way to easily look through it all.

    5. Tiny inventory space which already is full with gems makes the above even worse.

    6. Tiny stash with only 4 tabs. Like this game was designed for mobile players but I think Diablo immortal may even have more stash space. How are we supposed to try different builds or classes with no stash space? 7. No stash search for items. Despite stash being small, all of the items inside take up the same space and nothing looks unique so can’t ever find anything. Just a bunch of squares. 8. Excessive cooldown on house dismount. So many times I just want to mount a short distance and jump off but due to all the lag and bugs and excessive cooldowns I’m left mashing my keyboard and stuck on my house while monsters beat on me.

    9. No teleport to party member feature. This was removed from beta and have no idea why. Why do you think it is fun to have to ride that buggy mount to every single dungeon rather than just teleport to team location. At least put a waypoint near all the dungeons. 10. No map overlay. How does tabbing my solid map open every few seconds increase immersion? What a joke. Even the minimal in the corner is so small that I have to completely shift my gaze to it which breaks immersion but it’s too zoomed in to be helpful anyway. 11. Speaking of zoomed in. My god can you please take back the FOV?! The camera is so close to the character it is nausea inducing. No fought to make you see the cosmetics they charged you a ton of money for. 12. Skill tree and paragon maps also way way to zoomed in. It’s like the designed it for old people that can’t see well. But this makes it extremely hard to navigate. 13. The occultist defaults to showing all aspects instead of class aspects. It should be the reverse. Many of the design decisions are just devoid of logic. 14. No way to mark loot you want to keep. At end game, 99% of the loot is worthless so why in the burning bells would you make a mark junk feature? Again it should be the opposite. There should be a mark “save” feature so I can auto salvage the rest. 15. No sell all feature. Game needs this as well since gold is important. I could keep going on QOL but other issues need to be addressed. 16. The open world feels too repetitive and bland. I think this has a lot to do with the lack of monster diversity. 17. The itemization is terrible. Why even have normal, sacred or ancestral item tiers of the item level dictates how strong the item is in the first place? Why do I still get extremely low item level drops for pushing harder content? None of the unique names tied to items even mean anything. A regular staff is can be just as good as an archeon staff if item power rolls the same. 18. Defenses. What is armor in this game so godly and adding resistances doesn’t seem to do anything at all to help my survival. This is a real part of the game right here that makes it feel like a cheap nock off rather than a Diablo game.

    19. How does one push nightmare dungeons when all trash mobs one shot. I get the game wants you to focus on defense. But because of how monster availing works, even when building a character defensively, the damage done and damage taken feels way off.

    20. Class balance and build options for classes feel way way off. I would have liked to see more viable options for classes and for the different classes to be closer together in power. Rogue, Barb, and druid get auto vulnerable though a glyph, which is one of the few multipliers available and are subsequently destroying content with it. It allows for strong burst damage and causes sorc and necro to run after them in dungeons but necro is so slow and cant keep up.    … Expand

    sometimes we drop several items on the ground and as the backpack is small we don’t want to pick everything up and in the other diablos I could hold the ALT and hover the mouse and have a visualization of the item on the ground without needing to grab it to decide to pick it up or not

    when I watch a video I don’t know if the player is a hardcore player or not, when I go to my friends list to invite someone to join the group, I don’t know if the player is a hardcore player or not, if it were possible to play together, fine, but it’s not It’s possible so I need to know with an icon or other things if he’s playing in normal or hardcore, as was possible in other games of the franchise…

    the very big interface that gets in the way mainly with huge names on the item floor, horrible for those who play on a larger screen and especially in 4k because you usually play close to the screen since you have no problem seeing pixels because it is in 4k (if you play in 4k super far from the screen you are throwing money away yes)

    and I feel that the game is very focused on the experience of the console player and the PC being left aside , what I said above is just a lot of things , there are several others that bother me and that makes me think that it is because as a console player … I want to know when and if they are going to fix the game to make it pleasant for those who play on the pc and make the most of it and when are they going to start respecting the pc player who mainly made the game what it is today it is being spoiled by people not playing the game and all it has to offer. (I’m talking about the amateur devs involved)
    The only thing that makes me think is that the company only listens to what’s easier to do, which will soon make the game fall by the wayside and forgotten like many who go down that path, if that’s not what you want, I’m just sorry , but unfortunately that’s what the game is currently making me feel
    and I think that helped the bad score on metacritic
    I don’t care about metacritic, I just want to play a well-made game and a game whose main objective is to farm and do repetitive things several times, it really needs to have an excellent quality of life because after a while the small problems become extremely big when the game is lacking in content… and we know that games with seasons tend to have a long period of lack of content after a short time of the beginning of each season…    … Expand

    The campaign is maybe a solid 6/10, if you just want to casually play it for 10-20h, go for it.

    Now, the endgame is a real mess. - Online only, constant stuttering and freezes in towns, when entering/leaving the open world areas, it just feels terrible - Social interactions are pointless, you just meet to do a world event then leave, that's it, no world chat, no trade chat,    The campaign is maybe a solid 6/10, if you just want to casually play it for 10-20h, go for it.

    Now, the endgame is a real mess.

    - Online only, constant stuttering and freezes in towns, when entering/leaving the open world areas, it just feels terrible

    - Social interactions are pointless, you just meet to do a world event then leave, that's it, no world chat, no trade chat, nothing except a local chat that no one uses

    - PvP areas, fun with players of a similar level, which rarely happens, if another player is 5 levels below or above you, you stomp them or they stomp you, and that happens 90% of the time

    - Progression, during the campaign and up to level 50 it's fine, then it rapdily slows down to a tedious grind

    - Items, fine until around 50-55 when you will have good items for your build and then it's just min-maxing, without any real gameplay changing upgrades for felt ages or ever, 99.9% of the items will get instantly sold/scraped

    - Crafting, maybe a bit overwhelming for casual players who are unfamiliar with similar systems, but very restrictive for others

    - Currencies, mostly pointless as you will have massive amounts of them and very few items to use them on

    - Trading, sometimes you might find items that are good, but you can't use for your build or store them, let's sell them to other players?, yeah, nope, no auction house or anything that could reasonably facilitate trade between players

    - Content, you have a couple different variations of pretty much the same gameplay loop, get's stale fast

    - Downtime, there's just way too much of downtime in between, go travel to a dungeon for 2 min why???, just tp, want to do an event with other players, time to travel and wait, have to do errands in town? time to run around the whole town because everything you need is spread out, kill a mob group? time to move to the next one which takes the same or more time then killing it, did you miss something in the semi-maze dungeon? time to walk around and find it, ..

    - Mobs, mostly fine, some variety, mob group density is bad in dungeons

    - Bosses, forgettable, unchallenging and repetitive, world bosses are a joke as is the reward of killing them (which you only get once a week xd), campaign bosses which were fun aren't used in the endgame (with some exceptions)

    - Overall difficulty, if you use all the tools you have available somewhat efficiently then you will hardly struggle, you want a challenge? You can play dungeon at a much higher level then yourself to limit test, which mainly takes more time and makes it frustrating as a untimely sneeze will be your demise, loot is still bad and you earn less xp per hour

    - Game stability, handful of game crashes in my playthrough, ocassional stutter even in dungeons, forget about playing hardcore

    - Build variety, is very bad, you have a handful of options per class and that's pretty much it, and if you find a non-default build, good luck finding any uniques that might fit, because they don't exist

    Well, I'll leave it at that.

    tldr; If you don't own the game and want to play it for an extended period of time, forget about it. If you own the game, stop playing when it becomes tedious, because it will only get worse.    … Expand

In game shops have over priced junk that you'll replace in the next 5 minutes. The gear crafting system is gone. The story is dull. (Why do I have to ask permission to fight the big bad threatening the world??) Going anywhere in the world is a slog. Does anyone really want to take 20 minutes smashing hordes of damage sponges just to click some stupid tablet to hear useless rambling?

    There is some character customization but no matter what I select it's just unsatisfying. In game gear is hideous (at least for the mage). Level 30 "legendary" gear still looks like peasant rags. There seem to be a lot of spells and abilities to play with. Unfortunately, you have to pay to respec every time you want to try something new. This discourages me from trying to find a build that I'll have fun with because if you die it's 10% durability and about 10% of your money pool to repair it.

    Combat is just bad. Why is there a cooldown on the dodge button?? I have to keep dropping my AOE spells on bosses because I'm too busy running around avoiding the junk that the boss is throwing around. This makes for super long, drawn out battles, that end in drops that are worse than the gear I had heading into the fight.

    Why is this thing on-line only? I can't even pause the game to answer the phone, the door or grab something to eat. Why can't I start my own game and invite people I want to play with?

These are problems that numerous people have posted about on various sites so seeing reviews stating "smoothest launch" seem incredibly suspicious to me.

    Next you have the odd design decisions. Just lots of little things that make you wonder if there was any quality control going on or if they had two teams working on it that couldn't agree on anything. Like when I'm trying to create an outfit on my druid and I can't see the top of the staff which is the bit with all the detail on, when looking at the challenges if I expand one that has a lot of requirements I can't see them all as there's no way of scrolling down (there's a scrollbar but this is ps5, not PC so you can't use your non-existent mouse to scroll it down) or their rather odd way of making it cheap to change your class build anywhere but it's a tedious endeavour to do so and there's no option to save your build as they want to encourage people to commit to a build........so why let us change out our build wherever and whenever we like then?

    The combat feels clunky - they wanted to slow things down from the arcadey feel of D3 however it just comes down to hitting more resource builders and fewer spenders so it doesn't feel very satisfying - they could've tried something new or different instead of just slowing down a system that was fine for faster combat but feels sludgey in slower combat. The builders do absolutely no damage as well so the flow of combat is wonky as hell.

    The world itself is a nice idea and having active events is welcome however the core dungeon grinding is bland. There's nothing new here, the layouts feel all too familiar, however they've opted to have every dungeon use one of about 4 different mechanics that all involve backtracking as you fetch items to progress to the next area, kill a room of mobs, do another similar mechanic then do the boss. It becomes very tedious, very fast and when you think there's over 50 dungeons it just feels incredibly lazy to only have a handful of variations on how to progress through them. There's things missing too like all the random traps that added little bits of flavour here and there or the joy of finding a randomly generated dungeon of epic size just teeming with mobs to kill - I'd actually groan if I found such a dungeon now with how tedious the combat can feel and how far I'd have to run with all the backtracking.

    Build wise it looks good at first - there's lots of options to try out and have a play with but sadly this just makes the lack of being able to save your builds even more frustrating. It harms absolutely nobody to just let people save them - the cost of changing skills is negligible even in late game so why half a*** it like this? There are also some incredibly powerful builds that rely on "uniques" dropping which are incredibly rare and when you combine that with the bug where druids get a lot of barbarian drops (in the first week I had 9 uniques drop and 6 were barbarian) it just saps all the fun out of grinding - you see that unique item colour drop, get excited, pick it up, look at it and realise it's not usable (they have acknowledged that this is a bug). There is also a caveat to this build variety however - when you get to late game you absolutely must have ways of afflicting the vulnerable status as well as ways of becoming unstoppable to break out of the constant CC chains which make the already sluggish combat feel even more tedious so your build variety becomes somewhat limited which is a real shame.

    I like a challenge - in fact I'm drawn to difficult games like a moth to a flame but this isn't difficulty to me, it's just frustrating even when it's not particularly challenging. I feel hamstringed at every turn when I just want to move around and have fun.

    edit: based on the recent big update I'm lowering the score by another point. Boosting the damage of basic skills slightly does nothing - they still hit like a wet noodle whilst you build resource for the core skills. They apparently bumped up the resource gains but not nearly enough - it still feels slow and dull, if you run out of resource you're left casting up to 7 attacks or so to fill it back up again then spent it all in 3 core skills. They also allegedly bumped up the xp gains from nightmare dungeons. I completed one with enemies 2 levels higher than me and got around 10% of a level and one legendary item. This is painfully slow levelling when combined with the dull combat. I'm not asking for it to be lightning fast, just for your time investment to mean something more than the paltry rewards you currently get.    … Expand

    This is not a terrible game, actually if you can get past the rather childish plot/storytelling it’s pretty decent during the campaign and at least semi interesting, the problem is once the campaign is done reality strikes and it’s like a punch in the face.

    - Scaling is a nice idea for coop/friends but otherwise a shockingly lazy ill-thought non-Diablo introduction - you will forever feel weak, if you level it’s a punishment rather than an achievement.

    - Class builds are shallow and frankly poor, only meta builds will suffice, this is D3 again where you’re “told” what to play.

    - Itemisation seems to be deliberately created to waste your time, not to seek a reward, just to waste your time.

    - As with D3 the gear dictates the build, such a shame, if you can’t find “x” item that build doesn’t work - also, you can’t “respec” unless you have perfect gear as the world scales to your level so you need to be at peak efficiency.

    - Horses, just dumb but necessary due to all the time spent running.

    - Online play is just a waste of everyone’s time - there’s no clever grouping feature, just a complete nonesense.

    - Basically the worst of an arpg and mmo combined, misses all what makes each good (my personal opinion is this should never have been an mmo style game but even then, they completely missed the mark on that if they were trying).

    This was my last attempt with anything Blizzard because of my love for Diablo but I have been constantly disappointed by this company, it feels to me that they’re an arrogant bunch of people standing on the shoulders of greats before them with an enormous ego whereby they think they can “better” the classics of these franchises instead of following the simple formulas set out in previous games still being played 20 years later, again, such a shame.

    This will be a good game eventually, one thing Blizzard are decent at is plugging away but we’re essentially playing a Beta for the next year or so - I wouldn’t buy any time soon if you haven’t already.

    Last thought given I understand the amount of “dads” the feel stung by this game - I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.    … Expand

    Sometimes I wonder if Critics are on drugs when they review these games. I'm not here to say buy or not buy; I'm here to give my opinion, so take it or leave it. I got roped in to begin with but level scaling, grinding, forced online playing, microtransactions, and so on. The more I played, the more frustrated I became. In my opinion, the game is simply not fun. Its overpriced, overrated,Sometimes I wonder if Critics are on drugs when they review these games.

    Online only. On paper this is how I would like to play the game. I’m reality it doesn’t work. Constant crashes and network issues. Forever losing progress and wasting hours of time. Stop forcing online only if you’re too incompetent to make it work. Sick to death of broken games.

    For me the story is not worth the 70USD, it can be good but to sell me a full priced game with battle pass, ingame store or skins and add to that possible DLC or classes .... Stupid server crashes for hardcore players, a P2W release event "with early access" is fine they want to make money as a service but don't sell me the **** skins at that price being a full price AAA game.

    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]
