    There is no really point to play that game. You must finish campaign which is repetitive and bad to reach rest of content which really does not exist.

    It feels like playing a beta version with so many bugs, wrong decisions and bad design. What a huge pity! After dedicating so many hours to the game, I feel I have wasted my time with no true sense of accomplishment. Keeping on playing this game would be synonymous with self-flagellation.

    D4 is great, if it was made 10-12 years ago. The game mechanics are hot garbage is more mundane than even D3. This game has ZERO unique content to it and gives the most boring replay value.

    I hit level 52 and found the following 20 levels to feel the EXACT SAME as level 50-52. Blizzard seems to have not come up with any unique content that makes you want to level. I started season 1 and within the first 2 hours I was already bored. I have no clue what they are doing over there but this game is vanilla AF.

    Its official FOR ME, Blizzard no longer knows how to make games. An OG fan of their games since I was 10, in 1995. Warcraft2, Warcraft 3, Diablo, Diablo 2,D2 resurrected, Starcraft, broodwars, Starcraft 2, and WoW vanilla-BC player.

    As far as Im concerned, Blizzard launcher is something I will never install again and they are quickly sliding below the likes of Ubisoft and EA.    … Expand

    Repetitive gameplay and a tedious grind with little rewards. The developer has implemented patches to make the grind longer and harder via nerfs that they claim as game balances.Wasted my money, Don't buy if you have not. There are more worthy games that deserve your money and time. Try Baldur's Gate 3 or Amour Core 6.

    Overall, I just did enjoy some aspects of D4. But from the campaign to the end-game, it never felt enjoyable mainly because the gameplay itself just isn't engaging enough. Leveling is a slog, getting upgrades is not as rewarding as in previous diablo releases, and the scaling ruins my feeling of "getting more and more powerful".

But from the campaign to the end-game, it never felt enjoyable mainly because the gameplay itself just isn't engaging enough. Leveling is a slog, getting upgrades is not as rewarding as in previous diablo releases, and the scaling ruins my feeling of "getting more and more powerful".

    Before the game even came out, i was very annoyed by yes, A PREDATORY, practice of charging 20 dollars extra for early access with a hardcore race behind it to FOMO consumers. Anyone who doesn't think this is a scummy, predatory practice is a corporate shill.

    Campaign was extremely easy. I played a TB Rogue. The scaling world felt as though as completely side quests, strongholds, or farming dungeons was pretty meaningless as the scaling would just diminish that effort. So I just went straight through the campaign only to be extremely underleveled when fighting Lillith cause apparently that just didnt scale for some reason? I fought her at level 36 or 37, still one shot it because the game is very easy. Overall, the story, voice acting, and graphics were good but it was boring gameplay. I'd give the campaign a 6/10. It wasn't the worst, but it wasn't Halo 2 on Legendary.

    The combat is more of the same as the last versions of Diablo and in some ways worse. You only have 6 abilities, 4 of the Barbarians spells are nearly essential lock-ins for buff, then you need one builder and one spender. This is across every build Barb has to offer. You press two buttons with some buffs. One you level up you can almost drop your spender because your shouts generate all your rage but most still keep it just in case. You really can't really afford to take leap, charge, steel grasp or anything fun really. Just buff, build, then spend. Was pretty silly that my D2 Barbarian had more spells to use than my D4 barbarian. I haven't played PoE and quit D3 probably after a month or playing it because the RMAH. However, it is crazy to me that in 23 years, I have less abilities in a game to use that is a ARPG. Combat for me is easily a 1/10, I can't imagine a worse action game then pressing 1 combat ability 95% of the time. This was acceptable 20 years ago, not now.

    The gearing system leaves a lot to be desired, its not terrible so to speak but there are glaring issues. Nearly every build prioritizes Vulnerability, Crit, Crit %, and CDR. Resists are utterly useless. Gems have no use beyond your first 10 royals. Acquiring the gear is best done by doing half of a dungeon then resetting the dungeon. This makes for a very repetitive and unfun game loop of pressing one button for two minutes then reset and do 20s of load screens. I'd give gearing a 5/10.

    The dungeon system was terrible. There are 100s of dungeons to do but you really should only do 2-3 because they are SO far ahead in terms of XP per hour you are wasting your time if you are not. Not to mention, most dungeons are crazy similar in their mechanics (kill all mobs, bring two boxes to holders, etc.) and end bosses of dungeons are pretty lame. Nightmare dungeons were a bit more fun cause the scaling made them more difficult but the rewards just aren't there to justify doing them. I'd give this a 3/10.

    The world content varied greatly. Strongholds were amazing. Statues of Lilith / Renown grind was an insane grind and not very exciting outside Strongholds. World bosses were a complete joke. Side quests were mediocre, not much there. The horse is really bugged and the CD on it was kind of annoying. I'd give the outdoor content a 5/10.

    Overall I give the game a 4/10. In my opinion, the developers really need to address the gameplay first and foremost. Barbarian was extremely boring and only having 6 abilities to use is such a disservice to modern games. If they fixed the vehicle im traversing the world through, doing dungeons and world content would be much more enjoyable. I think the game has a decent base to build off of, but is it worth 70 dollars, not now in my opinion.    … Expand

Towns are generic and enemy types are very limited. Open world is done terribly and you have absolutely no initiative to interact with other people. Characters phase in and out at seemingly random and monsters appear out of thin air. The movement when mounted feels weird and unresponsive. Itemization is on par with D3 itemization at launch.

    On the plus side, graphics are top notch, combat feels good and the community figured out some very clever and fun builds. The feeling of accomplishment after you get a working powerful endgame build is still as great as always.

    I had some hope that D4 could become a decent game with enough time and love from the developers, but the recent 1.1 patch shows that they are completely out of touch, arrogant and I doubt many even play their game. They are making nonsensical changes just to make progression slower. The patch made many builds either completely non functional or much slower, while addressing none of the bugs and concerns of the community. This is the only patch of a game, that actually made me angry and makes me consider quitting the game. I am sitting out season 1 for sure.

And only one, NM dungeons was worthwhile - for leveling, "loot" and glyphs.

But after that it just falls flat. The three activities for "endgame" - whispers, Helltides and NM dungeons are extremely repetitive. And only one, NM dungeons was worthwhile - for leveling, "loot" and glyphs.

    The loot itself is subpar and you can get equipment that is completely useless on the highest difficulty of the game (World Tier 3 equipment on Tier 4). The ability to reroll or tweak your gear is hampered by extremely high costs that increase per re-roll. Which forces you to go broke or go beat your head against the wall for a new drop or resources.

    Early adopters of the game got to have fun before patches and mostly nerfs entered. I started playing end of June 2023. The game was pretty fun and i was ignorant to the previous nerfs. I didn't bother looking at the changes because the game itself felt fun. Slow and meticulous - but fun.

    For reference, I have a level 90 sorcerer. And was stoked to be working my way up to higher nightmare dungeon tiers. I just got into the 40s and really digging the pace of grinding with teleport chest piece.

    And then enter the July 18th patch that made the game feel so bad. In the same day, your ability to do difficult activities was heavily diminished. The power fantasy, revoked for many high end builds. And a major nerf to sorcerers - what the community and content creators all agree to be the weakest class. Call me bitter, but to nerf the class and give it useless uniques was a double dipping of punishment.

    Which brings me to creating new builds. After some research, i learned that saving builds was once a one click feature in Diablo 3. Even Destiny 2 managed somehow to piece it together in game (after years of community resources external to the game pulled it off).

    Get your candy and caffeine ready, as you sink time into manually undoing every node on your paragon boards. And slowly reinvent you skill tree chain. Because the July 18 2023 nerfs will have you doing just that.

    If player retention is the goal, shouldn't it be fun? I was debating playing season 1 - but I just don't think its worth the time. Starting from step one is slow enough, but to kill the pace by nerfing the player into the ground - its just too much.    … Expand

Instead we are forced to grind harder to accomplish less. The developers in charge at Blizzard do not value your time or your money. Look at the change to leave dungeons: from 3 to 5 seconds with no additional animations added to compensate. This game has become an icon of WHAT NOT TO DO DURING THE LAUNCH OF A MASSIVELY SUCCESSFUL GAME.

    Genuinely love Diablo, and I even have the unpopular opinion that 3 was an amazing game. This game though, this is riddled with disappointment. Not only were we slighted by the release of immortals it seems like zero effort was taken to interact with the Diablo community that has played these games for years and nothing was learned from the advice being given and the requests of the community.

    It is with a heavy heart that I must write this review of Diablo 4, a highly anticipated installment in the beloved franchise. While the Diablo series has long been revered for its immersive gameplay and thrilling class dynamics, it seems that the developers have taken an inexplicable turn in Diablo 4, resulting in a disappointing game that feels unnecessarily tedious and lackluster.It is with a heavy heart that I must write this review of Diablo 4, a highly anticipated installment in the beloved franchise. While the Diablo series has long been revered for its immersive gameplay and thrilling class dynamics, it seems that the developers have taken an inexplicable turn in Diablo 4, resulting in a disappointing game that feels unnecessarily tedious and lackluster.

    One of the most glaring issues in Diablo 4 is the developers' consistent nerfing of classes, which directly impacts the overall enjoyment of the game. What was once a game that boasted diverse and powerful characters now feels like a struggle to make any meaningful progress. It is bewildering why the developers have chosen to strip away the very essence of what made each class engaging and unique, stifling the joy that came from becoming an unstoppable force of destruction.

    Furthermore, the gameplay mechanics in Diablo 4 feel like an outright chore, rather than an engaging and exciting adventure. The repetitive nature of the quests and lack of variation significantly hinder the player's ability to immerse themselves fully in the game world. Instead of presenting thoughtful and challenging quests, Diablo 4 bombards players with dull and uninspiring tasks, draining the enjoyment from what should have been an exciting gaming experience.

    In addition to the nerfing of classes and repetitive gameplay, it is disheartening to see Diablo 4 lack the depth and complexity that once made the franchise so captivating. The intricate skill systems and character progression, which were once hallmarks of the series, have been watered down to a frustratingly simplistic level. This reduction in complexity not only limits player agency but also removes the sense of accomplishment that came from mastering intricate class synergies and strategies.

    It is deeply disappointing to witness a game that was once celebrated for its vibrant and dynamic gameplay transform into a mundane and lackluster version of its former self. Rather than building on the legacy of the franchise, Diablo 4 feels like a step backward, as the developers seem to have lost sight of what made the series so beloved in the first place.

    In conclusion, Diablo 4's unfortunate devolution into mediocrity stems from its baffling decisions to nerf classes and consistently deliver monotonous gameplay experiences. The developers' choices have resulted in a game that lacks the depth, complexity, and exhilaration that was once the series' trademark. Only time will tell if the developers will take note of the community's feedback and reignite the spark that once made the Diablo franchise shine.

    Ultimately, I hope the developers reconsider their approach and strive to deliver a game worthy of the Diablo legacy in future installments. Until then, it is a challenging recommendation to invest one's time and energy into Diablo 4, given the frustrations and disappointments it presents.    … Expand

    The end of this Season will be telling on whether I change my score. If less than 10% of the active Season 1 participants make it to 100, and something isn't done/admitted to immediately, I'll rate this as a zero forever. The game is good. The devs are poor.    … Expand

The combat is engaging, the story / lore for the series is incredible, and the visuals are fantastic!

    The biggest issue seems to be how incredibly out of touch the Blizzard team seems to be with the D4 playerbase. Updates consistently run contrary to what players are asking for, and the biggest community asks seem to be ignored or tabled with no ETA. The game is getting worse as it ages rather than better. The season 1 mechanic of shoving whole organs into rings and necklaces is immersion breaking without actually adding a meaningful feeling mechanic to the game, and the season came with an update that makes playing off-season endgame content feel underwhelming at best. Inventory management in this game is a JOKE, non-repetitive gameplay is non-existent as devs push players to engage with a single piece of content by pulling rewards from other content, and itemization/build planning is as unbalanced as ever as they continue to try leveling different play styles by literally making ALL builds less effective. Oh, and their idea of making more “endgame content” is by slowing down progression so endgame content is harder to reach!

Was enjoyable but slowly turned into a slow grind. That i could deal with but now with the latest patch with nerfs to damage and making it easier to die and xp gains are nerfed its a grind fest.

    Awful. No group finder? Really? Not a AAA game by any stretch of the imagination.

    With Diablo 4 Blizzard decided to capitalize and take advantage off a loyal fanbase that has been supporting their Franchise since it's inception in 1996.

For full AAA price, we received an unfinished game with shiny graphics and almost zero content minus a story campaign in an empty open world setting. There is no build diversity, no true endgame. QOL features like a party finder and manageable storage space are completely missing. The game is also riddled with questionable design decisions and bugs like resistances not working although res is the main form of defense for certain classes.

    This recent patch was a ham-fisted attempt at slowing down the game since they don't have any quality endgame content to offer their players. Oh and don't forget, if this season seems like a slog you can always buy an Accelerated Battle Pass for 25 USD and skip through some of the pain points!    … Expand

    So much potential. Not supported properly. End game is very poor. Everything too slow

    It's a pity that blizzard killed the game and with it the desire to play season 1. Why did you need to make a season if you have no content in the game. Just a piece...

    Thanks for ruining the game, all the fun is gone - last patch is bs. A shame the game was so expensive - totally wasted money

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game was halfway decent but they continued to tinker with it until it was ruined. No one wants to grind for years on one game. My list of complaints are too many to list. Not happy. Uninstalled. I spend weeks getting the same 5 uniques trying to get one common one my friend had. The game is of poor design. And they just made llerable.… Expand

    Bee were promised a much better game since the release of the game blizzard had done nothing but nerf the game to a point where it is unplayable and un enjoyable. It’s a seasonal where you play 3 months just to try and hit 100. Lore is in enjoyable in this game everything is rng and builds are so weak that even if you try and push as solo casual player you will get no where.

Compared to other games like elden ring where lore is interesting or even indie games like hades or vampire survivor where we actually get a strong character at the end if we do everything right. As soon as a player gets strong blizzard just needs the class. Even the market is bad it’s not free and they try to control everything in the game why don’t they just okay it for us too? Honestly I gave up on d4 hoping new triple a games are going to be more enjoyable for coming months and even games like bg3.… Expand

    I only played for a few hours because it was so underwhelming. I don't like there is no 360 view as an option. It would stop off screen attacks. After seeing my partner play for 300+ hours learning about how resistances didn't work. To then go nerf damage reduction and armour, what are you trying to achieve from doing this?

    You will grind 100s of hours to try and min/max a build only for the developers to ninja nerf your progress. Items on your character will actually be rolled to other stats/skills/%. Sticking with one build is very difficult for the average to above average player. All nerfs will be based on streamers who have all BiS. Congrats, your Shako was just upgraded to a Tarn.

    Cash grab. They made below average game and made it even worse with the latest patch. These people are so out of touch with the player base that I think that they don't even care. Can't believe i parted with all that money for the ultimate edition, lesson learned.

    It was fun an engaging to start with. Classes had many builds to choose from making them all feel unique. Blizzard decided to put all the good and bad things into a blender and turned it into a thick, disgusting paste they called Patch 1.1. No one wants it now and for the most part it makes people sick.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Played 200 hours game was slow but after the recent xp buff the game was finally worth grinding past level 75 plus. Woke up expecting to see sorcerer buffs because I was very far behind in dmg and survivability, they nerfed the **** out of sorcerer???? And then they nerfed cool down reduction. Wow really i guess I won't be able to play the only class I play in every blizzard game.… 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]
