    Eh, I guess I'm a bit biassed, but I'm not into the gameplay. The characters are fine, but none of them grab me in any way. Also, they really need to work on their servers if they still force players to play online.

    Diablo 4 is really hit and miss. The initial stages of the game are fun, story starts strong and introduces some interesting characters and while the story loses some interest in later acts it's still a decent campaign overall.

The initial stages of the game are fun, story starts strong and introduces some interesting characters and while the story loses some interest in later acts it's still a decent campaign overall.

    The levelling, skills builds and loot in the 1-50 range is pretty average. The huge range of loot affixes and aspects mean you can never actually have a "build" while levelling and you are wearing whatever has the best main stat and sometimes a preferred aspect or two. Changing your skill tree and using occultist is both expensive with poor UI.

    Hitting about 50 gets more fun again. The capstone dungeon is well designed and other content like tree of whispers, helltides, wold bosses and nightmare dungeons all open up. These are all fun for a while but a little basic.

    After a while the same levelling, skill builds and loot issues become a real killer. The poor damage bucket and stats design, poor loot quality and drop rates and prohibitly expensive respecting of aspects, skills, upgrades, paragon points and item re-rolling makes progression feel super stale.

    The later endgame (80+) is a grind with very limited scope for testing new builds or improving gear.

    Season 1 patch has totally nerfed XP, survivability and damage to the point that I don't think I can make any progress towards my seasonal char with limited playtime. The devs have totally failed to improve build diversity or implement any QoL changes leaving the game in a worse state than pre-season.

    I might roll a new seasonal char and play a few hours, but unless the new Malignant Hearts mechanic is super-engaging (sploiler: it's not) I don't see myself getting anywhere near the endgame again.    … Expand

    Pretty much a mediocre ARPG. Would be 6-7 if it didn't cost $90.

    Some reasons are: - Boring itemization - stack crit chance, crit damage, and vuln damage; - Lack of build diversity - 2-3 builds for a class. Even less if you're a sorcerer; - The endgame loop is far beyond boring - I can't describe it in words but while playing this game between monster packs I felt utterly frustrated;    Pretty much a mediocre ARPG.

    Yea, but what should i say... The Last Patch just killed the Game for me. High EXP Cuts, Nerfs (Offensive and defensive) around the Board and just giving a sht on the Community, that paid 70$ Minimum each. In Fact almost all my Builds are dealing like 30-50% LESS damage and dying faster. And they nerfed a important stat in the game "Player have #% Increased fun while playing Diablo4" by almost 100%. Giving us items for BUGGED Resistances (!!!) and will be fixed in Season 2 (?!). Are you fcking kidding me? Uber Uniques that are so rare, that no one will ever see one. Trading is a Joke. Crafting is bad. Helltides just got WAAAY longer. No Gear Upgrades after level 70 (just small ones). Stashes are way to small (playing several builds and 2-3 Classes and you are fcked). No Loot filter at all. The Hardest Boss in the game doesnt have specific Drops, lmfao.
    I really had so much hope. But boy, here i am.. Bashing Blizzard on Metacritic. Blizzard is still so out of touch with the Community. Learned my final lesson now and will move on. I am using my Random Teleport to go to Baldurs Gate 3 or any other Game.    … Expand

    Story/campaign is good. Graphics are good. Sound effects are nice and punchy. However, once you reach end-game, it is quite lacking. I leveled my sorc to 83, but grinding to 100 is such a chore and the lack of interesting activities to do in end-game makes it worse.

Also, there are A LOT of bugs in this game, some of which have existed since beta and still have not been fixed. Blizzard relies way too much on players to test their game for them. Not only that, but with every patch, Blizzard seems to break something, if not multiple things.

    If you are only interested in the campaign, I highly recommend this game. The production quality of the cutscenes/voice-acting/etc. is top notch. I liked the main story enough to not skip a single cutscene or line of dialogue the first time through.

    If you are an avid ARPG player who is definitely interested in end-game, there are better ARPGs out there. If you have not purchased the game yet (unlikely, because most ARPG fans have already tried this game), I suggest that you wait until Blizzard improves the game.    … Expand

    The game overall is ok. You can definitely spend there few weeks-month by playing campaign and then exploring some endgame stuff to do until it starts getting boring. I had fun playing this amount of time so gaming is good.
    Rating it as 6, because game also has issues that needs to be solved.

    Игра, продающаяся за 70 долларов, выглzдит как демо-версия. Играл на PS5. Главный конкурент этой игры Path 0f Exile вышла целых 10 лет назад и на данный момент превосходит распиаренный кусок дерьма от Blizzard. И это при том, что PoE является совершенно бесплатной, не считая необязательные транзакции для увеличения сундука.

    Первое что бросилось в глаза - мизерное количество умений, которые мы можем разместить на панели управления. Всего 6 штук. В PoE их 12 и недавно добавили еще 4. (PS5)

    Убогое и линейное дерево прокачки. Это даже не дерево, а обструганный сучок, которым можно поковырять в этой куче дерьма. Играть становится скучно уже часа через 3. Единственный выход это сбрасывать очки и идти по другой ветви развития. Но тогда не захочется переигрывать за этого персонажа в следующий раз.

    Местами "деревянные" анимации, персонаж может резко остановиться, физика ближнего боя выглядит убого.

    Огромное количество однотипных подвалов, подземелий.

    Так как игра только вышла, то чувствуется дисбаланс некоторых умений. Но это я думаю скоро исправят.

    Количество навыков преступно мало, по сравнению с той же PoE. Это просто детский сад какой-то.

    Даже если учесть post game активности, играть всё равно скучно. Ждём запуска сезонов.

    Непонятно зачем сделанные нелепые вставки на игровом движке. Лучше бы добавили ray tracing.

    Эту игру тяжело назвать интересной. Геймплей ощущается как обрезанный и искусственно ограниченный. Выглядит игра в целом так, словно тебе показывают красивую лошадь, но не дают поездить на ней верхом, разрешают только вставить ей в задницу игрушечный руль и вертеть им влево-вправо.

    На данный момент не советую покупать Diabo 4. Игра по всем параметрам отстаёт от десятилетнего конкурента, если не считать графику(всё таки 2023 год на дворе) и сюжет (он тут нужен?).

    Серия Diablo культовая. Основоположник жанра и многолетний триумфатор. Но времена меняются. Вместо удовлетворения потребителей, в первую очередь превозносится прибыль. Если вы никогда не играли в подобные игры и готовы впустую потратить деньги, то смело спонсируйте халатность Blizzard. Если же вы хотите посмотреть на настоящую ARPG, гораздо более глубокую, интересную, реиграбельную, с несоизмеримо большим количеством контента, со все ещё актуальной графикой, то выбирайте Path of Exile.

Only those whose bank accounts are weightier than their sense of enjoyment need apply.

    Behold as the game diligently undergoes perpetual renovations, a virtual utopia where every bug is lovingly squashed, every wrinkle smoothed out. What could be more thrilling than a game that gets frequent facelifts? After all, who needs to have fun when you can be endlessly entranced by the riveting process of bug-fixing?

    But hold your horses, thrill-seekers! If your idea of gaming is even remotely related to "fun," tread no further. The developers have declared it themselves, with a straight face no less – "it is not fun." Clearly, we've transcended such trivial desires. Games aren't meant to be enjoyable; they're meant to be the very air we breathe, the immersive cocoon that cocoons us from the mundanity of reality.

    And speaking of time, fret not, for Diablo 4 is here to suck every last ounce of it from your life. A leisurely horse ride? A simple exit from a dungeon? Each act, a luxurious indulgence, costing you the precious currency of existence: time. But rejoice! For as a member of the prosperous elite, you have time to spare, and what better way to squander it than in the throes of Diablo 4's meticulous attention to tedium?

    Forsooth, this game isn't for the riffraff; it's a sanctuary for the opulent. If your bank balance resembles a hamster wheel rather than a mountain of gold, avert your eyes and scurry away. But if you're a bonafide member of the elite, buckle up! Diablo 4 beckons you into its leisurely embrace, a tortoise-paced odyssey that'll make even the slowest snail seem like a speeding bullet.

    Fun? Pshaw! Fun is for the plebeians. Go, amuse yourself with mere LEGO blocks or the frivolous trifles of a Nintendo Switch. Leave the weighty matters to the connoisseurs of discernment, those who understand that an impeccable taste is worth its weight in gold - Diablo 4, a flawless masterpiece, deserving of an unchallenged 10 out of 10. No need for questions, for the answers are written in the golden script of success.    … Expand

The gameplay is quite boring. Players are pushed in these little frames and have to run certain builds otherwise are punished. You are punished if you are playing solo as well, as teams can progress four times faster. The end game is boring as you will be running the same dungeons again and again. Loot, even though is most important part of any build, at the same time is irrelevant. You will dismantle/sell 999 items out of 1000 in end game. Helltide is another end game activity which is, as you might have guessed it - very boring. World bosses, legion, tree of whispers (if I remember correctly) are boring and waste of your time as rewards are meaningless. PVP is least balanced of all the games I have ever played. There can be 40 lvl difference between players and guess which one will be oneshot killed?
    So, would I recommend this game? Yes, if you are casual and a fan of Diablo franchise. As I said the story is very good and acting is at a different level. Finish the story and be done with it as the rest is not worth your time.    … Expand

    The facts that Blizzard stumbled and failed at power progression is mind boggling to me. I understand that its because of level scaling.
    So in previous diablo games level of monsters was fixed. So player CHOSE difficulty by going under level. (if player power is lacking) to grind more and catch up, and keep game difficulty enjoyable. or go over level (if player power is above the curve) and raise difficulty to make it enjoyable.
    because monsters just level up with you, and you have NO choice to pick difficulty for yourself... in many case game is boring because its too easy, or its boring because its to hard and grindy. Game does have same time in golden middle, but not much. It is even worse for your alts.
    One of solutions would be : allow player to -X +X monster levels, that this will reduce/increase XP and Magic find but allow players TO PICK GAMEPLAY THEY WANT TO HAVE!
    Itemization is also boring after first 100 hours. You almost never ever see anything new and interesting. You have seen all legendries by then. And diablo 4 drops very few interesting unyque's. fail here too.
    so... its ARPG, looter to create power fantasy for players. And D4 fails at both power fantasy and loot part.

    I would recommend Blizzard to focus on creating quality gameplay, instead of focusing on creating perfect platform to sell battle passes and overpriced cosmetics.

    If you like ARPG - give Diablo 4 a try. I still believe it technical masterpiece worth experiencing. Only don't plan to spend 3000 h on it like you did in Diablo 2...    … Expand

    I am glad they brought back higher difficutly levels, the the problem with them is that there is only 4 of them.

    Another issue with the game, steaming from it being a live service game is that the XP grind at higher levels is so high, I have not even reached max level (100), and people are saying once you hit 85 you are only half way done with the XP grind, that how badly the XP required to level shoots up. Another issue with it as a live service, is always online, I like playing solo, why do I need to play online if I am just going to ignore everyone else in the game?

This means you’re not getting progressively more powerful as you sink more hours in. You might find a powerful weapon/armour piece which greatly increases your power but, 5 levels later, it is superseded by even average loot being dropped. So you are back on the treadmill searching for more loot just to stand still. I actually found myself in the campaign being tempted to run past easier enemies since I didn’t want to level up and negate the benefits of a great new weapon I'd found before hitting the next boss. It was when I hit endgame that this really became a terminal issue for me as, without the story to focus on, the scaling system just imbues the whole experience with a nagging sense of pointlessness.… Expand

While I don't want to give it a negative review, I can only rate it a max of 7 out of 10, considering it slightly above average.

It falls short in several areas and lacks the qualities necessary to be considered a "Game of the Year" contender. Furthermore, I don't foresee myself playing it much longer.

    The game's main downfall lies in its post-campaign content. The lack of engaging endgame activities is apparent, and it feels like the developers prioritize minor bug fixes over addressing the fundamental issues that make the game less enjoyable for those who have progressed beyond the initial campaign.

    As an action RPG, it fails to deliver action.

    As an online game it fails to deliver social experience.

    As a looting game it fails to provide a rewarding loot experience.

    Dungeons quickly become repetitive, bosses lack inspiration, and combat mechanics are only average at best. Regrettably, playing the game beyond the campaign feels more like a tedious chore than an exhilarating experience.

    While there is potential for improvement in the future, it is imperative that the developers take a proactive and dedicated approach to address the game's inherent flaws. Overall, I would cautiously recommend this game to RPG enthusiasts, but it's essential to manage expectations and not anticipate a truly fulfilling and enduring gaming experience.

    It's worth noting that neglecting player concerns and failing to address issues promptly can have disastrous consequences for a game's community, as demonstrated by the unfortunate fate of a game called Anthem (Rest in Peace).

    Developers should take these concerns seriously and make swift efforts to prevent a similar fate for this game.    … Expand

I pre-ordered it and am currently World Tier 3. I read some of the critiques and I have to disagree with most of them.

    How can someone say the build system is shallow when the game has only been out for a couple of days? You have a branching skill tree (active and passive skills) which not only synergize with the other skills within the skill tree, but also the multiple different aspects you unlock either from gear drops (which you can remove and add to other gear at a cost) or completing specific dungeons. Not to mention paragon levels after hitting level 50 with node and glyph unlocks. Each piece of gear also have different stats and effects which you can also relocate to other gear. All these factors synergize to either create an average build or a very potent build capable of finishing higher level content. Its a bit more than adequate. Not overly complicated, but not simple enough to feel like you are not 'building' your character. People who bought this game knew it was not going to be POE2, so why compare its build system to POE1? The build system is a lot better and more complex and rewarding than any previous Diablo game or any other decent ARPG out there besides PoE. Mythic items are also a welcome addition to the caliber of gear you can get at endgame. I always felt Diablo 3 was missing just one more tier of gear quality.

    The graphics are incredible. They managed to capture the same dark gritty vibe from Diablo 1, which is what I missed at times from Diablo 2 and especially Diablo 3. Environments, outdoor and especially indoor are very detailed and I found myself at times marveling at these.

    The gameplay can be slow and fast at the same time, its hard to describe but it feels good and more realistic than any previous Diablo entry. Each kill is extremely satisfying, the effects are great, everything you would expect from a polished Blizzard game. They seem to be able to do this better than anyone else.

    My favorite part of the game is the maps and zones. For so long I waited for an ARPG that was like Sacred 2 in map and exploration size. Diablo 3 was extremely shoe horsed and I hated that. Diablo 4 is a huge seamless world and this for me is the best part of the game.

    There is also a ton of things to do. Main quest line, a plethora of sub quests, mini dungeons, dungeons, strongholds, helltide, world bosses and probably more I am not even aware of yet. It is a game they can definitely expand on in the future and add more features like this if necessary.

    My only gripes are the following:

    Lack of different voice options. My necromancer sounds like a paladin.
    Act 2 seemed a bit short. The story is average, nothing groundbreaking. I would have like to have seen some more classic Blizzard cinematic, a lot of it is in game cinematic. After just finishing FF7 remake I realized this was lacking a bit.
    Slight rubber banding at times - This definitely detracts from the experience and is annoying. This is most likely cause the game just launched, but will be fixed in the next couple of days.

    Other than that, quite frankly this is the best ARPG I have played. Diablo 1 will always hold a special place in my heart. Sacred 2, Grim Dawn/Titan Quest too, but I feel Diablo 4 has taken positive aspects of all these games, learned from their mistakes from Diablo 3 and made one hell of a game in Diablo 4.    … Expand

Some items still haven't been found at time of writing--by anyone. The story turns into a bit of a slog as you progress, but it's an improvement over the prior games. XP and leveling slows to a crawl around level 60. There aren't good incentives to do a lot of the content they want you to do in many cases. At bare minimum, this needs some serious balance changes, and I'd prefer they gutted the level scaling system altogether if that can be done without ruining the open world built around it. The world is much more immersive and there are lots of surprisingly high-quality side quests. There really are a lot of upgrades to the series here, but it could be so much better so easily. The level scaling feels bad. The gear feels sorta weak. It needs an overlay map (I'm staring at the minimap in the corner of the screen while walking, their plan backfired).… Expand

    1 - "Predatory monetization tactics" - None...ZERO...of the things you can purchase in game with real money give you more of the game, or an advantage in the game, they are purely cosmetic.

    2 - "There's no endgame" - Diablo 2, the most coveted in the series, LITERALLY has no end game. Meanwhile D4 gives us helltides, nightmare dungeons, world bosses and legion events. There's always something to do.

    3 - "Patch 1.1.0 broke the game" - No it didn't. This is the greatest example of hyperbole I've ever seen in gaming. The majority of people who complained about the patch, did so without ever playing the first season.

    4 - "The game goes nowhere" - first time playing an ARPG? You kill, loot, level, repeat. It's like someone complaining in Gran Turismo that all you do is race...

    5 - "They took everything good about 3 and threw it away" - You complained the story wasn't dark enough, they made it darker. You complained it wasn't hard enough, they upped the challenge. You companied there wasn't enough community, they made live events.

    Some people will never be happy. And what's worse, some just live to be angry when they cannot grasp that someone is having a good time that they don't get.

    Review:

    Diablo 4 is undeniably one of the most anticipated games of the past decade, and I am thrilled to say that it lives up to all expectations. The latest chapter in Blizzard Entertainment's legendary series not only surpasses its predecessors but also sets new standards for the action RPG genre.

    Right from the beginning, Diablo 4 captivates with its deep and immersive story. You find yourself in a dark fantasy world steeped in darkness and chaos, bearing witness to an epic battle between good and evil. The meticulously crafted narrative comes alive through stunning cinematic scenes and top-notch voice acting, infusing depth and emotion into the characters.

    The gameplay in Diablo 4 is on a whole new level compared to previous installments. Every strike, every spell cast with smooth and realistic animations, delivers a sense of power and satisfaction. The character progression system offers a vast array of abilities and combinations, allowing players to create unique heroes that align with their playstyle.

    The world of Diablo 4 breathes with life. Each location, every corner, is infused with an atmosphere of darkness and terror. The diverse landscapes and intricately detailed environments immerse you in a realm of grim fantasy, where every step can be your last.

    Diablo 4's multiplayer mode offers unparalleled opportunities for collaboration and competition. You can join forces with friends to take on mighty bosses, tackle challenging dungeons, or engage in thrilling PvP battles. The seamless online integration ensures a dynamic and engaging social experience.

    Visually, Diablo 4 is a feast for the eyes. The graphics are stunning, with meticulous attention to detail, realistic lighting, and breathtaking visual effects. The art direction perfectly captures the dark and gritty aesthetic of the Diablo universe, enhancing the overall immersion.

    Furthermore, the soundtrack of Diablo 4 is a masterpiece in its own right. The haunting melodies and epic orchestral compositions amplify the game's atmosphere, evoking a range of emotions from awe to spine-chilling dread.

    In conclusion, Diablo 4 is a triumph that exceeds expectations on all fronts. It delivers an enthralling story, engaging gameplay, and a captivating world that will keep players hooked for countless hours. With its impeccable presentation and a wealth of content, Diablo 4 is poised to become a modern classic in the action RPG genre.    … Expand

    Great game, not sure why people are review bombing. It's not a 0 or a 10. I think it fits into a good spot between mindless and complicated. You can experiment with your own builds because they aren't overly complex. Yet there is enough complexity to be engaging enough to be entertaining.

I think it fits into a good spot between mindless and complicated. You can experiment with your own builds because they aren't overly complex. Yet there is enough complexity to be engaging enough to be entertaining.

    I enjoy PoE for a different reason entirely, it's like turning up the speed substantially but the downside is I have to follow build guides closely. I have 700 hrs in PoE and that is considered as a new player. You could play PoE for 10,000 hours like Zizaran and still find new things about the game.Diablo IV does not replace PoE nor is it trying to, its more like a plug n play where you don't have to look for third party resources to enjoy your experience.

    I can easily see myself alternating Diablo and PoE. The main concern I have is that I will have to farm renown each season, in which case I might do it for the first season, then not come back for years. It would just be so insanely monotonous to do it each season, even with the game being as fun as it is. The first three renown levels are fine and happen naturally, but the last two take substantial effort that is not challenging, only time consuming.

    Crafting, I hope they add more crafting options in season 1. It works out fine for release since we have a lot to learn but this won't be enough for long term play.

    Bosses, would be nice to have more Uber bosses like Lillith, maybe bring back old bosses from D2. Give us an Uber Butcher etc.

    Uniques, are awesome but I think having more options to define builds would help with build diversity. I don't think the devs should worry about people fulling slotting with all uniques, since we still need our other aspects and the Unique gear is usually lacking important stats.

    Connection issues, have been a thing. I've played every day since release and have had 4-6 times where the servers went down, it only happened after official release, not during the early release. I was never locked out longer than an hour. Otherwise, I've had 500ms spikes in the open world but for a release these days it was actually pretty good.

    Lastly, I think the worst thing to give credence to negative reviews are the bugs. Just to name a few, the "cannot use abilities" bug really threw off my groove day 1 but it's only happened twice. It's embarrasing that Shroud lost his 100 druid to the bug in HC. Also the HC world first team had it happen on their stream, which is not good publicity for people watching Twitch to see whether they want to play the game. To my knowledge the major bugs have been fixed.

    If you read this far, congrats! Please leave an upvote if you agree.

The number of abilities, items, dungeons, and cosmetics in this game is enormous, allowing for countless possible builds and strategies. However, one small downside that I experienced is the tutorial, which I found to be lacking. Many mechanics were not thoroughly explained, and some of the advanced tooltips for items and abilities were not available at the beginning. You have to manually enable them in the settings. Additionally, I encountered a bug where if you lose connection for a second while in a loading screen, you get stuck in an infinite loading loop. To resolve this, you have to manually restart the game and load it again. I was hoping for error handling that would prompt me about the lost connection and return me to the main menu to try logging in again. Another thing worth mentioning is the need for a function that can automatically match solo players with others for dungeons or other activities. During my gameplay, I struggled to find someone to play with in a party. Overall, it is still a very good game, although there are some areas that could use further polish. I hope these issues will be addressed soon.… Expand

    Played an unhealthy 127 hours in the first week + early access, and despite having hiccups with the game, I have to admit that it launched in a strong state. The campaign definitely felt great for an ARPG, and it introduces areas and characters at a good pace. It felt like a complete upgrade from the third game in every way, and in some ways definitely exceeds even D2. The only two thingsPlayed an unhealthy 127 hours in the first week + early access, and despite having hiccups with the game, I have to admit that it launched in a strong state. The campaign definitely felt great for an ARPG, and it introduces areas and characters at a good pace. It felt like a complete upgrade from the third game in every way, and in some ways definitely exceeds even D2. The only two things that I truly disliked about my experience was the balance and the traversal. Mounts don't feel great, and druid/necro had almost no movement abilities, making any traversal feel slightly annoying. Pretty much every class that needs to use basic abilities to build up their resource feels really bad, because basic abilities do literally nothing outside of utility. Some abilities were also just objectively awful, like Decompose, Rabies, some minions, and even Sorcerer conjurations. This will probably be changed within the next three months though.

    But the big reason I'm giving this a 9 is the accessibility and comfort when on a controller. Holy **** Path of Exile and Last Epoch felt awful on controller compared to this. I had to learn mnk just to play them and have fun, but now I never want to go back to it. Movement feels crisp, the UI actually works, and skills having toggle settings made playing this feel easy on my hands. The screen reader, decent colourblind settings and the keybindings helped me enjoy this so much. Few games exist where I can play for hours without a headache and discomfort, and this is thankfully one of them. It also has local play which was absolutely perfect and I'm so happy to have it back.

    I'm currently a lv76 Necromancer, and I'm still enjoying the game. It has issues, sure, but the ease of access, great visuals and sound effects, strong campaign and well executed open world make this a damn good package. The only thing I absolutely require Blizzard adding is a server selection with more options, playing at the bottom of Africa makes lag really ****ty.    … Expand

    Itemization is a huge issue. Hordes of drops that are completely worthless for your build is the norm, with endgame itemization even worse (when that is the stage in these kinds of games in which it should shine), with relentless grinding for meager gains the norm.

    The inability to play offline, and therefore pause and attend to real life like an actual human being is a big put off when considering playing the game more.

    What is not so great is a lot of issues with rogue class where any back piece ornament will clip into bow/crossbow.
    The horse gets stuck on a lot of objects. The endgame paragon farming can get a bit repetitive (you have helltides, dungeons and world boss) there is a lot of room to grow though and that's what I hope for.    Game plays very well in general, the main story is interesting.

    There is no joining someone's party from the lobby like in diablo 3, meaning that if you want to experience multiplayer content you have to have friends or spam area chat.
    I know it's pretty early now but the balance is non existent. If you play rogue you mostly just go twisting blades or flurry. Most bow builds are meh same as cold imbuement. It just does not compare to the poison or shadow.

    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.
