    When you spend 70 dollars but you can not play the game, the game is a straight 0 out of 10.

    For a paid battlepass, feels empty and cheap when comparing with other battlepasses from other games. Specially when thats the main feature and main reason to grind in the new season.

    I was really excited for this game. Diablo going back to it's Diablo 2 roots? Hell yes, sign me up. Then the game came out and it was anything but going back to its roots. The art style is about the only thing that can be considered Diablo 2-ish. Everything else is typical "video game for the modern audience" nonsense. Big, pointless, open world filled with fluff that you'll just end upI was really excited for this game. Diablo going back to it's Diablo 2 roots? Hell yes, sign me up. Then the game came out and it was anything but going back to its roots. The art style is about the only thing that can be considered Diablo 2-ish. Everything else is typical "video game for the modern audience" nonsense. Big, pointless, open world filled with fluff that you'll just end up skipping (like cellars) because it's not worth your time. Map littered with icons (especially once you beat the campaign). Daily chores list that rotates every so many hours. Dungeons with the same two dozen or so tilesets, same dozen-ish objectives, and only 6-8 unique boss types at the end of them. Zone-based renown grinds that they're resetting every season.

    All of this would be okay if the hook of playing were there but it isn't. 1-50 (the campaign portion, essentially) is loads of fun and feels rewarding. But then you hit the late game. Leveling becomes a tedious slog, especially once you hit 70+. Itemization is pure trash with 99% of drops being straight up vendor fodder. You can grind for hours to gain a single level and not see a single meaningful upgrade to your gear. Or, conversely, you can get best in slot stuff in the mid-70s but due to the way the game scales, you'll never change it out from that point onward. There's no significant sense of progression. Skill trees full of fluff passives like "+3/6/9% damage to skill X" and most of the paragon boards are also fluff "+5 to stat" tiles.

    And then yesterday happened. They dropped a patch so egregious that I don't think I've seen anything as bad as it in my 40 years of gaming -- and I've seen some whoppers of bad patches back in my MMO days. They nerfed everyone across the board, made it EVEN SLOWER to level, broke one of the few end game activities (Helltides), and made enemies stronger. They claimed they wanted to expand the number of viable builds people can play but their nerfs have done the EXACT OPPOSITE. At late/end game, you either play a meta build, or delete the game. That simple. Or, if you play a Sorcerer, just save yourself the trouble and go ahead and delete the game.

    Typical knee-jerk Blizzard balance where they drop a nerf nuke on the game because a tiny minority of players have no-lifed the game and found the absolute best stuff the game has to offer. So Blizzard ruins it for the rest of us. It's not my first rodeo with this nonsense -- I watched them do it for years with Arena PvP in WoW and in Overwatch.

    Everything about D4 screams that it's a game built to create good "player engagement metrics" for the shareholders. Fun is secondary. Keeping people grinding, pushing them towards the cash shop, pushing them toward the premium battle pass -- those are their REAL objectives. I cannot recommend this game and I regret buying it, let alone wasting the time to get a Druid into the 80s and a Sorc into the 50s.

    Prior to the patch, I would have given the game a solid 6, MAYBE a 7 on the strength of the campaign and art. But now having spent a significant amount of time at the end game, and seeing this joke of a patch, the best I can give this mess is a 2.    … Expand

    The game could be good, but the people making the game keeps making it worse with new patches. Blizzard is not the same it once was, the people working at Blizzard ain't same and I think everyone can see this. They only makes the game worse instead of better with patches.

    Blizzard keeps nerfing the classes and the loot to prolong playtime but it just made what was a decent dungeon crawler ARPG into an insufferable grindfest.

    I was planning on getting Diablo 4 as I am a huge fan of the series but I think I'm going to pass on that one, getting Baldur's Gate 3 instead when it launches on September 2nd for PS5. Blizzard is really a dead rotten corpse being puppeteered by Activision.    … Expand

    Before, I managed to play 1-3 hours a day because I don't have much time, but since the new battle pass I can't play anymore because of bugs (example I arrive in a village and I can't nothing to do anymore no merchant windows open) and disconnections, crashes (it's so annoying in the middle of a quest and a fight).

    Game is fun for a while. Does look great and has a good story but falls apart in the end game. Poor performance as well. Gets very repetitive and the grind in this game is unlike any other I’ve played. I was giving Blizzard one last chance and now they won’t get another dime from me. Wasted my money and time. Strongly recommend against buying this. At far away from Blizzard.

    Absurd nerfs in patches can come at any time, I can't stress this enough. One day you will be happy and having fun and the next day your character will be unplayable.

    Okay so basically don't get this game. The devs are the worst at reading a crowd that I've ever seen. They clearly don't know what direction to take the game. I spent over 300 hours grinding out the perfect gear and finally felt good and days later they nerfed my character so hard I lost easily 80% damage while more powerful builds got relatively untouched. The gameplay is extremely repetitive, grinding out the same tasks or dungeons over and over. And when I say they are the same I mean literally the same thing. Endgame is absolute garbage. I feel like an idiot for spending so much time and money on this game. Don't fall into the same trap. Please look for a game that respects your time and devs that won't nuke you back into the stone age for no reason what so ever one day while other classes were and continue to outperform. If I were to continue playing I would have legit anxiety that I would be mega nerfed for no reason out of no where.    … Expand

No pay-to-win microtransactions, strictly cosmetic. Modest PC client requirements.

    Bad: incomplete endgame. All stick, no carrot balance philosophy. No effort to improve quality of life issues. Emphasis on player minutes, microtransactions, and other corporate metrics over customer satisfaction. Aggressive changes to encourage the "right" way to play as dictated by the devs. No random scenarios like D3 Rifts (i.e. no procedurally generated dungeons).

    Neutral: darker and grimmer than Diablo 3. Closer to Diablo 2 in terms of setting and art. Slower paced combat than Diablo 3, less "arcade-y".

    Diablo 4 is one of the most anticipated games of the last few years. The launch went very smoothly, which gave many people hope for the game in general. But the developers seem to be ignoring player feedback in their attempts at "balancing" the game. Statements are made about preserving the long term health of the game, but in practice that just seems like artificially slowing down character progress with nerfs to damage and experience. Some changes make no sense other than as ways to extend active player minutes, a metric used to indicate user engagement on the platform (and something the suits like to see).

    The attempts at balance feel very punitive and subtractive; that is, instead of increasing things on one side and decreasing them on the other, the vast majority of changes to gameplay involve reducing the amount of damage players can do, increasing the damage that monsters can take and deal, and slowing down the rate of progression. For a company that literally invented the ARPG genre and has almost two decades of experience managing a live service game in WOW, these actions feel comically inept and unfriendly. The lack of a player test realm - an environment in which players can help developers test changes to the game - means that balance changes are made in a partial vacuum. In a context where the player is the ultimate arbiter of how things work in practice, this makes no sense, especially when PTRs have been a fundamental part of WOW's development and were used in Diablo 3.

    In short, it feels like Blizzard somehow forgot almost everything they learned from Diablo 3 when making Diablo 4. Players are punished for finding effective configurations, with changes that not only fix "broken" builds, but changes that ruin every build by turning down fundamental values without turning others up for balance. It's not too much to expect a company with Blizzard's resources and experience to provide a product that respects the player and leverages the wisdom accumulated by literally decades of experience in the market.    … Expand

    Player power across the board was reduced, BUT, no adjustments, or fixes were implemented to fix or help the huge amount of bugs, and imbalances in the game. Weak classes were made even weaker, while legitimately 1 strong build from 3 of the 5 classes was left basically untouched.

    Sorcerors and Barbarians are legitimately unplayable at the moment even on the "easy" T1 difficulty.

    It's good, but not great. While it experiments with new ideas, far too much of it feels staid and unchanged in the ways that matter. Good for some fun with friends and to learn more about the setting, but not great enough to hold my attention after the initial campaign.

    GRAPHICS, ART and SOUND:
    Somewhere between the dour, dark and evil tones of the Diablo 1 and 2, and the brighter, more arcade-like art of Diablo 3. The environments are relatively simple but well made, with enemy design and animations being detailed and impressive. Character customization is also at a new high for the series (admittedly not a high bar to clear).

    GAMEPLAY:
    On the plus side, each character seems to have a variety of unique, interesting fighting styles, and often have ways to set up combos within their abilities. Several of these can help other players in your group as well, letting you tag-team larger monsters. As usual, some classes are harder to play than others, but that's not unexpected; the main issue is that a few classes seem drastically underpowered compared to others (at the time of writing, Sorcerer and Druid suffer from this).

    Diablo 2 had slow progression, especially in its endgame, but Diablo 4's mechanics seem to be actively trying to slow you down. You can't get a horse until quite late in the campaign, making it slower to traverse the world map. Gear stats are incredibly minor, making any upgrades from piece-to-piece feel tiny, removing much of the joy from finding new loot, even for 'legendary' items. Loot on the whole seems lackluster, with even larger bosses not dropping much of interest.

    In battle, many better skills have lengthy cooldowns and mana (or 'resource') recharge is much rarer for most characters, meaning for certain builds you will be running in circles waiting for your cooldowns or mana to recharge during tougher fights.

    In addition, enemies scale to your level. This isn't an issue on its own, but it also means you can't go back to an earlier area to have fun curbstomping weaker foes, and you can't find higher-level enemies to challenge yourself against and try to eke out a bit more XP. This leads to a disheartening feeling where despite better gear, better skills and better skill, you never really feel like you're becoming a powerhouse, always stuck slogging through even chaff enemies if your big combos are on cooldown.

    In addition, enemies lack diversity, and you'll often be fighting the same enemy types throughout the game with slight color differences.

    The gameplay is still good, and has a decent core, but much of the design choices surrounding that core seem to detract from the fun of it.

    STORY AND LORE:
    Oh boy, where do I start?

    Okay, for one, the setting has been greatly expanded and we get a good look at the 'good' forces of Sanctuary. We also see a lot more of the corruption and temptation aspects of evil and how people can fall to it, as well as the zealotry and disturbing nature of even the 'good' side of the conflict. Good stuff.

    However, the main story is... eh. It's so, so close to being good on a number of occasions. Lilith is a good antagonist, with clear motivations and sympathetic but still EVIL feel to her. Several other characters have decent arcs as well.

    The problem is there are multiple moments in the story where I stared and shouted 'WHY?!' Why would you leave the place where you are protected to get some fresh air to be literally captured seconds later? Why would you taunt your arrogant ally with the macguffin you have so they confiscate it from you? Why would you listen to a deal that a literal greater demon is offering you? WHY would you have a major boss from an earlier game pop up with NO build up and NO reason, just to further your character's badass credentials right before the last act?

    There's so much to work with here but missteps seem to plague the plot's every move, and many parts of the story feel needlessly dragged out to make sure you visit as many corners of the map as possible.

    DESIGN:
    Baffling. There's so many poor design choices that hold this game back. No horse until over halfway through the game. Incredibly slow progression. Poorly implemented caling enemies. Incremental gear. The lack of balance smacks of being redesigned at some point.

    CONCLUSION:
    Diablo 4 is decent, even good. But it's not great.

    ARPGs rely on a good 'feel' to prosper. Diablo 2 is my favorite in the series because I adore the feel of it, no matter how old the game is. Diablo 4 struggles with that. When it worked, it worked well, but too often I got annoyed with small quality of life issues and design choices. So while I enjoyed the game, I can't say that I feel the need to play it further.

    Honestly, at the end of the day, it feels more like they took another game and did it up to look and sound like Diablo, but it doesn't truly play like Diablo.

    Oh, also, $70 is ridiculous for this game.    … Expand

    The presentation (graphics and sound) are very well done, but the game just isn't fun to play. There is absolutely no sense of progression because all of the enemies scale with your current level, meaning the enemies in the first area will always be difficult to kill. Boss fights are interminable. Item/loot drops are no longer exciting because they don't really make you more powerful.

There is absolutely no sense of progression because all of the enemies scale with your current level, meaning the enemies in the first area will always be difficult to kill. Boss fights are interminable. Item/loot drops are no longer exciting because they don't really make you more powerful. You keep watching your numbers go up, but it doesn't make any difference. It's the video game equivalent of a slot machine that never pays out anything. It's the first Diablo game that hasn't hooked me immediately. I have trouble seeing this game succeeding long term if they don't make changes. I would tell anyone considering a purchase, to at least wait a few months.… Expand

    Flawless "pay to wait" game. 0 innovations. Terrible special effects.
    The feeling of everything - it's all the same as it was once. Nothing new. Nothing interesting. Absolutely worthless pumping tree.
    "Pump in 1 point here and get 0.01% to something." No balance, nothing. Dead cities. All NPCs just stand there. For half an hour I looked at the blacksmith who beats the anvil with a    Flawless "pay to wait" game. 0 innovations. Terrible special effects.

    For half an hour I looked at the blacksmith who beats the anvil with a hammer. And that's it. This is the only animation.

    The character walking animation (I play with a gamepad) is just a slow-motion animation of running.

    Absolute hack.    … Expand

    Im a big fan of diablo 3 so I guess with d4 being more like 1 and 2 (grittier) im not the best judge but its not the excellent story or the awesome graphics or the brilliant sound and music which I take issue with. Its the microtransactions.
    DAY 1 micros and a battle pass to come!!!
    So this game cost me like 100!!! which is insane. Yes its a big game and ill probably play for over    Im a big fan of diablo 3 so I guess with d4 being more like 1 and 2 (grittier) im not the best judge but its not the excellent story or the awesome graphics or the brilliant sound and music which I take issue with.

    DAY 1 micros and a battle pass to come!!!

    So this game cost me like 100!!! which is insane. Yes its a big game and ill probably play for over 60hrs but that doesnt justify 100! or day 1 micros which add up to over 350!!! and the battle pass at another ...who knows!!! Its just greedy. And anti consumer. And no game except maybe the witcher 3 would be worth this insanity.

    So if the game didnt have day 1 removed content sold back to us then I would award it an easy 7 or 8...maybe higher once the many bugs are fixed. But right now and for evermore as these micros get worse and worse... I have to say wait for a deep sale or fee2play or plus etc. And its not ok just say dont buy it as if it wasnt for the gulf between rich and poor where there are enough whales to make games with these business models possible then the rest of us average people would not have to put up with this...as we didnt for the last 30 years.

    Maybe buy the disc and resell it etc. Do not reward the greedy devs as I didnt get a pay rise to afford this new tier of 100 gaming and you prob didnt either so we shouldnt encourage it with 10/10.    … Expand

    I’ve played Diablo games for nearly 25 years, with the exception of Immoral (I played that for 5 minutes). I’ve also played various other ARPGs, along with a variety of MMOs, FPS, RTS games, etc. I run a popular network of community game servers. The point is that I have experience gaming.

I’ve also played various other ARPGs, along with a variety of MMOs, FPS, RTS games, etc. I run a popular network of community game servers. The point is that I have experience gaming.

    The good:

    - nice graphics, smooth combat, decent sound design, okay music
    - has that “blizzard polish” you expect when it comes to presentation

    The bad:

    - massive open world that requires lots of pointless meandering with very few enemies and/or points of interest; towns are large and require lots of walking just to reach NPCs and waypoints; it is just disrespectful to the player’s time
    - despite being required to play online, there is literally no social aspect. nobody uses the chats, very few people are in towns.
    - the character building and looting feels very much like somebody who doesn’t know ARPGs designed it
    - storyline is a bore; those that say otherwise might need to crack open a book, watch a movie, or listen to a John Prine album
    - absolutely lacks LFG, search, party finder, modern inventory management
    - plays like a bad ARPG or bad MMO - it has none of the good qualities of either genre
    speaking of MMO, it is an immersion breaking experience to see other players when you aren’t expecting them

    Commentary:

    None of the above is even nitpicking the small details that really need addressing either; it’s not worth the time to even write it out. I hope this review will help those trying to make an informed decision.

    The “official” reviews are all paid marketing campaigns.

    TL;DR
    Once you get past the makeup, expensive hair + fingernails, and Gucci handbag, there is an immature, soulless product with a poor taste in music, demands a sugar daddy, and doesn’t know how to wash dishes.    … 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.

    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]
