    In general Diablo IV is a very decent ARPG. Some of the decisions the systems designers made have to be questioned but there is lots of room for improvement.
    I like the game and don’t regret buying it. If you are into ARPG‘s I‘d recommend you buy the base version and give it a try.

    Great game for Diablo fans. If you play normally, you are motivated for a long time. Currently at 100h playtime and so I think: For the money enough content. Through individual seasons there will always be something to do.

    I believe that Diablo 4 has been overly criticized. It seems evident to me that the shortcomings in the game's endgame will be addressed. Even in Diablo 2, there were many issues before the "LOD" expansion came out.

    Apart from that, the game is quite enjoyable while leveling, and the itemization is well done. It deserves around 8 points in my opinion.

    The developers continuously work to remove any 'fun' out of the game. As soon as anything positive is posted about an ability, piece of gear, or skill/aspect, the developers flag it as an item needing to be nerfed. The company is actively working to remove everything fun out of the game.

    Story is ok.

    Cons

    It runs fairly bad with stuttering and memory leaks.

    Itemization is extremely bad.

    Has a battle pass.

    Dungeon design is horrible filled with endless back tracking.

    Events in dungeons have npc's that need to be protected but don't scale with dungeon level so they die from anything.

    Respecing at max level involves over 450 clicks....

    End game is boring with only helltides and nightmare dungeons.

    World bosses have such long respawn timers and terrible spawn times.

    Getting upgrades at 75+ is slow if not impossible with uber uniques drop rates lower than winning the lottery.

    Builds for each class all have a majority of slots taken by the same few skills leaving 1 or 2 slots free.

    Game balance is awful some classes have multiple viable builds where others have none.

    Dev team is of extremely poor quality and it shows with the continuous tone death patches and responses to community feed back.

    Inventory is very limited with one shared stash for 10 characters.

    Constant nerfing of xp, drop rates, items, aspects, skills, and modifiers to slow down gameplay making it feel even more unrewarding like a working in a coal mine instead of playing a game.

    tldr this game is extremely flawed and it is nobodies fault but the developers and higher ups it's not worth spending your time or money on this cash grab.    … Expand

    They pulled a massive bait and switch. The game was released, they had end-game feedback since late 2022 and, after selling tons of copies and getting good reviews, they slowed down progression across the board instead of balancing the game, probably due to their "game as a service" (aka cosmetic shop, since the seasonal content is minimal) priorities.

    Not good. Stupid story. Easy. Boring. Bugs. Grind.

    Diablo 4 appears to have one primary function: to waste your time. Every feature seems deliberately designed to maximize time consumption. I managed to reach level 50 in a mere two days, yet the slog to level 62 required a considerable grind through Paragon levels.

    Beware not to be drawn in by the enticing first act; the game is fundamentally raw and bereft of substance. The open world is disappointingly sparse, and the monotony sets in swiftly as you explore and quest.

    The storyline is frankly stupid, with hollow characters that lack depth and intrigue. This 'new Diablo' is a disappointing offering from the contemporary Blizzard team.

    The difficulty curve is wildly inconsistent. Despite a level cap of 50, if you complete all quests in the first act and conquer all the dungeons on T2, you'll conclude the first act at around levels 40-45, creating a disconcerting imbalance.

    The loot system is nonsensical. At level 62, I'm still clinging onto legendaries from level 30+ due to their superior stats. Additionally, the first act leaves you almost fully equipped with legendary items, rendering the presence of white and blue items in the game meaningless.

    Post-game content is barren and monotonous, revolving solely around grinding for keys. Despite my efforts, T4 remains inaccessible, as I can't defeat the necessary boss. Yet, I've managed to clear 20 keys, each swarming with 70+ mobs, with surprising ease.

    However, credit must be given where it's due. Diablo 4 does offer an addictive gameplay loop, and there's potential for future improvement. My hope lies in the developers' ability to patch the existing bugs and inject more meaningful content. As it stands, it feels as though there's little to do unless you're an ardent fan or you've grown weary of Path of Exile.    … Expand

    All online activity in the game is to gather in 10 players togeher a couple of times a day and kill the world boss - after which all players again disperse to farm mobs alone or in a pair with a friend - no more.

    And for some reason, a lot of different mechanics that already existed in d2 and d3 were not implemented - because of this, the game feels poor - no legendary potions, no runes, no class rifts, no different types of goblins - it is extremely strange why the experience of previous games was ignored in 4th part

    This game is just NOT fun. It's clear that this is a mobile game disguised as a PC game. With all the recent changes and across the board nerfs it is clear they are ramping up to add play to win "boosts" etc. Should be a free to play game if they are going to rely on microtransactions not a $70 title.

    It is inconceivable that we pay a lot of money for a game and the company simply does not give a damn about its customers and consumers.
    The vast majority of the public, on all channels, on all social networks, did not like the changes and nerfs, every day asking everywhere for Blizzard to change and improve what they did and they just don't care about us.

For the first time you will not need to buy books or turn to content-creators to get the backstory to fully understand what is happening which is a really nice change. It is as dark as the early Diablo games (before the fight was taken to the high-heavens) and has enough character development and twists to keep you engaged.

    The open-world content is fun enough to keep you playing for 10-20h after the story ends. Events are engaging and rewarding enough to be worth participating in until most gear slots are euipped with suitable "ancestral"-items.
    Unfortunately, this is where the game starts to stumble. Once you have your "ancestral"-items for a working build, the only way to increase your power is through "unique items" that are randomly dropped. Yet, these "uniques" are sometimes so powerful that they can make or break your class and without them you will struggle significantly more with higher nightmare dungeons (which become the only endgame content - similar to greater rifts, just with objectives instead of a timer).

    The gameplay is basically a builder-spender rotation that rewards big pulls for most classes. Spenders hit really big while builders do pretty much nothing which feels very weird, especially for classes with very costly spenders. It still feely clunky when you compare the gameplay to Diablo 3 in the end stages, before sets and newly introduced uniques solved the problem. Therefore I give them the benefit of the doubt here and assume that they will introduce new items with following seasons to make gamplay much smoother.

    The game is ok. If you think about buying the game, I would recommend to wait until you can get it at a cheaper price since content is quite limited right now and the gamplay is still somewhat sluggish.    … Expand

    Inventory - no space Helltide - no fun anymore. The chest currency is dropping very bad, you need to collect more against stronger mobs.
    Legion - booooooooooooring.

Micro transactions are the death of quality games and do not belong in RPGs.

    Diablo 4 General Game Feedback (pre-Season 1 patch):

    The Good: The campaign story experience was interesting and engaging and felt like a decent organic leveling experience. Then, at level 37 through 70 I ran around and did all Strongholds, Dungeons, Altars of Lilith, all map exploration, and engaged in Tree of Whispers, Legion and Helltide dynamic events and a few Nightmare Dungeons;    Diablo 4 General Game Feedback (pre-Season 1 patch):

    The Good:
    The campaign story experience was interesting and engaging and felt like a decent organic leveling experience. Then, at level 37 through 70 I ran around and did all Strongholds, Dungeons, Altars of Lilith, all map exploration, and engaged in Tree of Whispers, Legion and Helltide dynamic events and a few Nightmare Dungeons; all mostly in World Tier 3. Then at 70 I battled my way solo through the capstone dungeon (fun and challenging) to get into World Tier 4. I was instantly killed regularly (Sorceress) and just stopped playing. Then I decided to go experience the other classes up to level 30 so I could at least equip them at 25 with the appropriate aspects for their class and build (see below).

    The randomness of The Butcher appearing in a dungeon was amazing! The sense of panic and having to react to him to survive was an excellent element in the game and one of the best concepts I have experienced in any game. I wish there were more bosses randomly appearing at times like that.

    The overall graphics and sound/music was good. The character customization was average, and the cosmetics from the shop were reasonable but need more variety which I expect will happen over time.

    The Bad:
    Incredibly limited storage space on the character and in the stash. Need to move gems, aspects and sigils to the materials list. Storage needs a search feature. Equipment icons need better artwork to not all look the same.
    The social aspect of the game is meh at best. Other than open world dynamic events, I didn't group with anyone. Even though I was in a clan with members from other games, we hardly talked or grouped.

    The Ugly:
    The crowd control (stun, slow, freeze, walls, snares, etc.) is ridiculous in this game. Losing control of a character is not fun gaming, even if it is 5% or less of the time in combat. In this game? It's 75% or more of the time during combat!

    The number of monsters that cause damage after death is also completely unacceptable. It's one thing for a single mob type, like "fatties," having that miserable affix is one thing, but 95% of the mobs in this game explode and/or stun you after they die. Why? WHY?!!

    The mount feature is pathetic! It doesn't path well, and is incredibly slow and has limited "burst" to get out of trouble. It's faster to just walk sometimes? Terrible.

    The itemization in this game is unnecessarily complex and the loot drops are completely worthless 99.999% of the time. There's no excitement from finding a unique, which is often worse than a legendary you've been wearing for many, MANY, hours of gameplay.

    The lack of defenses and resistances was bad, and just got incredibly worse in the Season 1 patch. Combine this with the miserable amount of crowd control and post-death damage and it's not a fun game to play, full stop.

    Class Leveling Experience Feedback:
    I leveled one class to 70, the rest to 30.

    Sorcerer - Firewall to Ice Shards (70)
    Was mostly fun. Firewall graphics were awesome! However , damage didn’t scale against higher level content and I re-specialized into ice shards which was visually less fun but very effective. Overall it was fun but incredibly squishy for a game style requiring melee distance. I got to World Tier 4 and struggled to survive so I stopped to go test other classes.

    Rogue – Twisting Blades (30)
    The most effective and fluid playstyle of all available classes. It wasn’t as visually fun as Sorcerer, but it was so efficient in clearing any content. Great in multi-target or single target. Awesome experience at each stage from 1 to 30!

    Necromancer – Bone Spear (30)
    A bit slow to get going, but eventually was effective from level 12 to 30. It was somewhat fun, but not as fluid as Rogue or Sorc. Visually it was fine, and it felt resource constrained in longer boss fights.

    Barbarian – Whirlwind (30)
    This is typically my favorite class in the Diablo franchise. However, this was brutal. It was clunky, sluggish, and resource constrained the entire way from 1 to 30. Visually it was “meh.” It felt like the character was stuck in mud and struggling for resources throughout most of the experience.

    Druid – Tornado (30)
    This was horrible. Same exact issues as the Barbarian in being resource constrained and sluggish at every step.

    Summary:
    The Sorcerer and Rogue were mostly fun but need improvements for survivability. The visual effects for fire are the best in the game, and all other class effects could be improved to that benchmark. I might consider pushing both classes to 100. The Necromancer shows potential but feels unfinished/unpolished. I might revisit this class in the future based on patch notes. The Barbarian and Druid were a miserable experience. I’d rather be dragged through a mile of broken glass than play one more hour on either of these classes.    … Expand

    As a sorcerer main, I feel like I’ve just wasted 100+ hrs of my life, the character is unplayable.

    Furthermore, the new Oculus wand teleported me into the ground over TEN times during a single Helltide! My character was stuck unless fast traveled. Speaking of Helltides, they’re basically useless after patch 1.1 as it takes almost the entire hour to open a single sub 150 cinder chest.

    On top of all that, the game regularly crashed several times a day, around once per hour.
    This is not acceptable.    … Expand

    Development team and decision making are the downfall of this rancid waste of time. They listen to our issues and fixed nothing while making the loot worse, the grind longer, and any enjoyment we had in play out. This is the worse Development team I've ever come across.

    The game was pretty fun to play through first time around, especially since the campaign was new. Since the release of the new patch, the user experience has fallen like a limp noodle. Changes made to characters and monsters only increase the grind without adding any extra satisfaction or reward.

    You grind sporadic groups of mobs to grind out more sporadic groups of mobs.
    They tried to remake diablo 2 with cash shops and boring grinding mechanics.
    Poor itemization and extremely heavy handed nerfs tacked onto an unfinished boring game.
    Steer clear. Much better ARPGs out there.

    The game was good when it first came out but after the patch it just went downhill from there. I don't know who's idea it was to nerf everything (especially sorcerer) and make it basically one dimensional for all the builds. Why not learn from D2 and take the good parts of D3 to make a better game

    It is difficult for an average/casual gamer to keep up. Season 1 already penalizing players if you haven't completed the story already. The Sorcerer's class has only female cosmetics, and is also the weakest class.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Blizzard is dead, thank you Activision. This game suffers from the same issues as every other activision title- looks cool enough to reel you in, but past a few hours the whole goal is to drag you along. The latest 1.1 patch is proof of this. The game was released initially with massive class issues, rather than fix those issues in the month leading up to season one, Blizzard ignored everyone’s suggestions and pushed out a patch to slow down the game. Okay, fine, slow down the game, but fix the balance issues. Sorcerer class is useless, other classes are teetering on obscurity. Tons of quality of life issues. COME ON, this isn’t the first game blizzard has ever made, not even the first Diablo, but it seems like they don’t have 3 previous games to home quality of life (lack of stash space, no stash search). Absolute mess. Already wasted $70, no way I’m spending another $30 on battle pass. Too many other great games to spend time on rather than shill out more cash to these “game developers” who treat their IP’s like money printing machines and not brands that need to be fleshed out and refined. IM OUT.… Expand

    I would have rated the game a 6-7 with potential to be a 9 or 10 until this pre-S1 patch. Gutting defenses, nerfing CDR, and failing to address any if the severe QoL issues alongside their stated reasoning for these changes makes it a 3 at best until leadership changes.

    The initial experience with this game was dark fun and the story was mediocre saved only by the cinematics which is about the only thing blizzard has done right in decades. By level 60 the game has become an endless grind of garbage loot. Every time you find a build and loot you enjoy blizzard decides you cant play the game you paid for unless you play it their way.

By level 60 the game has become an endless grind of garbage loot. Every time you find a build and loot you enjoy blizzard decides you cant play the game you paid for unless you play it their way. Grinding nightmare dungeons is mindless and now even more so with the XP nerfs. These guys can never let a game be fun, it has to live up to their micromanaged online dev math that is more akin to sorcery than actual sense and must all fall within their desires to keep you playing an already overpriced game and buying the ridiculously priced skins and customizations that look flung together by children. I had originally told everyone i was not going to preorder but Blizzard being the snake oil salesmen they are made things enjoyable originally to get sales up then pulled the rug out. I will NEVER buy another blizzard game again the way this company micromanages everything to their own end for a game that at the end of the quite frankly is not at all fun but frustrating to everyone but people on the autistic spectrum who use it to stim.… 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]
