    This game was released unfinished, unbalanced, full of bugs, and severely underwhelming for a AAA game company who already has experience in ARPG's.

    Finished the campaign. Haven't really logged back into the game after this. Nothing really keeps me playing. It's just a grind. And they want you to pay more money for passes and store items. My time is best spent elsewhere.

    I'd give the game a 5/10 on launch. Went downhill in season 1. Once you hit level 80 and upgrade a few pieces of gear it's possible to spend 50 hours without one single upgrade.

    Sound the dread alarm for our friend Diablo was killed by the very studio who created it. And instead of listening to fan feedback the devs are just going to dig in their heels and get combative with the very folks who keep their game alive by playing it. What a damn joke of a studio Blizzard has become.

My build just.... doesn't even work anymore. And many other builds were drastically hurt by the nerfing of most major core properties.

Releasing this disastrous patch two days before the first season has to be one of the most boneheaded things I've seen in gaming for at least five years. Awful awful stuff.    … Expand

    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

They are making very fundamental changes that impact the base game (aka Eternal Realm) because "seasons". Seasons have more microtransactions built in, so it seems they're trying to funnel people into microtransactions content by making the base game not fun anymore.

    To out things in perspective, I main a Sorcerer despite it being arguably the most underpowered class in balance. They don't compare to the damage of any other class, and to make matters worse, their survivability is abysmal in comparison. Blizzard claims to be listening to the community, yet they made survivability MUCH worse with the most recent patch while also nerfing damage despite the fact that the community has outlined in detail what's wrong with the class (and how to fix it).

    They are also IMMEDIATELY fixing issues that benefit players but holding off on fixing issues that work against players. All the while, they claim to be listening to the feedback... but then not actually following through with any of what is brought up. During the last livestream before this patch, they kept saying that they don't like doing nerfs and "we think you'll be happy with the patch, it's really got a lot in it!". Weird that all the buffs were in direct conflict to the nerfs, and the net result was big losses in power.

    This wouldn't be so problematic if they were also giving us the option to refund things like skill points for free since they're making massive changes, but they're not. They're seemingly doing what we all feared: Looking at the numbers from a profit perspective instead of fun perspective. Horrible.    … Expand

However, we all know that the end of the campaign is where these types of games should just be beginning.

    To keep it brief I'm just gonna list out things I thought about while playing:

    -Cooldowns are way too long I'd much rather all my abilities be weaker but I could use them more often.

    -More abilities should interact with each other in interesting ways. Best example I can think of is druid bear charging into a crowd and using pulverize in a big group.

    -I wish at any given moment there was like 4 times the amount of enemies on screen

    -Enemies leveling up with you not only makes the game feel super repetitive, but also makes leveling up seem incredibly useless

    -Hard crowd control happens way too often and lasts way too long. There are no clear visible debuff icons telling you what you're afflicted with and for how long.

    -Hardcore characters dying when a disconnect from the server occurs is dumb as hell. Who cares if people abuse it? It's a PvE game. Also when you put a random **** you enemy in the game like the butcher then give people no escape from it. Making a hardcore character seems like a test of patience and luck rather than skill.

    -Modifiers being tied to legendary gear is cool, but when the amount of modifiers to your abilities in the skill tree is so low it makes it frustrating to grind out what you need just for your build to work. Abilities and skill tree in general needs a rework.

    -Servers are ****ed

    All that being said, I had fun with the game. But the second I hit the end game and realized how tedious it would be, how many problems were adding up, and how truly little endgame there was, I just decided it'd be better to move on. Hopefully some of this stuff gets fixed and they give me a reason to come back.    … Expand

First time I've ever played a game that was more fun in beta than after the first major post release patch. Factors contributing to the lack of fun: no ended game content, incredibly slow progression both with XP and gear, too few viable build options (mainly because instead of making underperform skills they decided to just make everything worse. This is how not to fix a game 101), the necessity of creating a new character every 3 months to experience the seasonal content, game is "balanced" around powerful seasonal abilities, that are temporary, instead of around the base game, which is the wrong way to balance a game as proven by plenty of other games, including ones from Blizzard, she they should know better.

    I played this game from launch. I maxed to 100 on 2 separate classes and started a third prior to the season one patch. As soon as the season one patch hit the servers, I lost all enjoyment out of it. Diablo 4 has turned into such a horrible, BORING grind now that I no longer will be playing this game. Such a shame.

    1st review on this site. This piece of work was worth creating an account. Took a lightly buggy game, made a huge update, and completely took all the fun out of it. buffed all the monsters, nerfed all the characters, but what's worse is they took players weeks of grind and just took a big hot runny dump all over everyone. Will wait to see what they work out to fix their good ideas.

    The game launched well with a few issues, but was overall a decent game. Probably an 8. Known QOL issues and broken mechanics have been ignored outright by the dev team and in the most recent patch(1.1) they went off the deep end and made matters worse. Some classes are unplayable in the higher levels.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I dunno I’m finding it really unbalanced, demolishing elite mobs in a instant then it takes to kill one marauder. Then it’s just way to easy the higher lvl you are the easier it get. When you about lvl 55 on wt 3 it becomes to numbly boring and easily, grinding till lvl 60 to do the next wt dungeon was a true test of perseverance. Yeah the first few lvl on wt 4 are challenging like I said it gets earlier as you lvl up and you don’t even feel like ya characters got any more powerful or evolved. My fights look and feel exactly the same on wt4 lvl 68 as it did when lvl 20 on wt 2 and I would say wt 2 was more challenging, I met the butcher more often and had crap gear. I think its easily solvable tho we need areas of the map that are all ways 2 or 3 lvls above I would make them hell stronghold permanent, introduce heavenly stronghold and let us choose who to fight for hell, heaven or nephalem, man when I played the campaign I wanted to join Lilith and smoke Inarius and Mephisto by the end. Next hell tides need way more mobs and boss fights, i would also have a thing where in the last 10 min we have to push the hoard of Hell back, if players fail this it reduce the drop rates until areas have been cleared of x amount of enemy’s. The campaign is also not up to standard, starts of really good but after the first act it flat lines 2 good cut scenes, the first is the resurrection of Lilith at the start and then some parts of Lilith and co walking though Hell. I know lots of ppl don’t like the aesthetics of D3 but just go watch the cut scene where Diablo open the doors of heaven to Lilith opening the doors to Hell. She just squeezes a rock and doors open to nothing and the gates to hell where on every loading screen it was very anticlimactic. The entire way though the campaign she like 5 steps a head of you and at the end you just get teleported to the right location just before her to foil her plans and your own. It end with a hero not the hero travelling around with a soulstone with a prime evil in it again, that what happen to D2 hero at the start of D3, just this time it’s Mephisto in the soulstone instead of Diablo.… Expand

    Leveling up takes forever and is completely meaningless. You don't get more powerful if everything else is always 2-3 levels above you anyway. The skill tree is far too complex resulting in the need to create very specific builds. If you don't do your research, create a spreadsheet, consult NASA and cross-reference your astrological chart you won't have the right points in the right places and you'll just die a lot. Paragon won't help either. Apparently the demons have a better paragon board than I do since they are *still* killing me easily.

    But surely you can compensate for that with gear right? No. The gear is awful. I haven't swapped out anything in about 10 levels. It just isn't worth it. Remember when you'd get excited about finding something rare? Or at that classic *ting* sound of something hitting the floor warning you to pay attention and get ready because this thing right here is going to be awesome? You couldn't wait to check the stats. That's gone. I kill a Boss, collect the loot, go do five other things, then check the stats of the new stuff when I go to town. Why bother getting excited when I'm just going to salvage it anyway because it has half the stats of my current stuff? I used to chase treasure goblins down. Now I don't bother with them. They don't have anything. And you can't buy anything. The shops have four items, crazy expensive, that change every hour, that also have lower stats.

    Also, this requirement to be online is frustrating. I have not had any server issues. I get on right away. I have always been a solo Diablo player. I always will be. I don't want to see other people in my game let alone watch them take my gold after my kill which has happened several times now. I have never played a season and have no interest in doing so.

Whilst its intention seemed to be to rein in the uber-builds in use by a few elite players, the changes resulted in the game becoming unplayable for the majority of players who had reached end game.

    But once you get through the campaign, you realize this is a hollow shell of a game. Everyones mad about their 1.1 patch nerfing everything, but the fundamental issues go much deeper. This is probably the worst designed ARPG ive ever played in terms of items, progression, and builds. There is no build diversity. You use the same skills at lvl 80 you do at lvl 30. The loot is unbelievably boring, with needlessly complicated stats (some of which don't even work) and uninspired art. This is supposed to be a looting game but the loot sucks, there is no storage space, and the way items have a lvl requirement makes getting gear for alts pointless. The legendary aspect system is terrible and most the aspects are boring, WoW style conditionals stacked on conditionals. Very few of them actually change the way you play.

    There's no content. It would have been so easy to take something like the Delve mechanic from Path of Exile and have an endgame of progressing through an infinitely scaling Hell. Instead there is some boring ass world events, and grinding copy paste dungeons that all feel exactly the same, and barely even have any monsters in them compared to other games in the genre.

    Its becoming a meme but it truly feels like none of the lead devs actually play this game, or other similar games. The problems are obvious to anyone whos played arpgs. They have 9000 devs or some **** yet they can't add stash space? Can't fix bugged resistances for months (and then add a new unique that procs resists, lol)? Can't think of any way to quickly implement some end game content?

    Its pathetic. Diablo 4 is a fast paced action ARPG with slow boring combat and barely any abilities to use. It's a looter with the worst loot of any game in the genre and barely any fun items to work towards. "Your class your way" theres virtually zero build diversity or options, and what is there is unimaginative and pathetic compared to other games. It's an always online MMO game with no tools for grouping up in any way, no group content, even chatting is a pain in the ass. It's trash.

    Blizzard is dead. There are some talented people still there in the art and basic gameplay departments, but the senior devs are totally incompetent and are being driven by boardroom suits more interested in player retention numbers and battle pass sales than they are in creating a great game.

    There is no reason to play this garbage when games like Path of Exile or hell even the Diablo 2 remaster exist. It deserves all the poo currently being slung at it and is the perfect example of everything wrong with modern gaming.

    The game started very well, but after the updates it started to lag and the scenario load is terrible, it often freezes and sometimes crashes, throwing you to the initial screen. Developers should keep their focus on improving the gameplay of the game rather than mitigating the players' enjoyment.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a game playtester myself, this is a AAA++ title, released for full retail price, that is in reality a beta. I have played enough beta versions, pre-release titles by indie devs to see it plain as day. Do not spend money on this game. Do not support this company, do not support Microshaft/Blizzard/Activision/King. There are shameful business practices in place to milk the consumer of every single dollar & cent possible, with zero shame or remorse. The cash shop was in place on pre-release. IE, myself, someone who paid for the Ultimate Edition, aka I could physically not pay more for the retail price of the game, was not given 100% of the game's content, which was behind a paywall. This is the OnlyFans of video games. More than a bait and switch, there is no fish, no meat. The game itself is dull, boring and uninspiring.

    The story is this: Lilith is back, you chase her around, a **** ton of every potentially interesting NPC dies and leaves, and you go and put Mephisto's soul in a new soul stone you craft. Because Lilith was after him to try to gain power so she could stop the war on Sanctuary. You then go and murder Lilith cuz reasons. My own character is not my own character; they are an NPC added in last minute, in what I would refer to as Lilith the MMO, or Diablo IV beta, take your pick. The story has no good plot to it, I skipped nearly all of it as my own character has nearly zero interactions. You will sit and watch cutscenes that don't involve your own character at all, engage in "dialogue" that your own character barely has any lines for, and then run to kill more meaningless bosses, to go and sit and watch other NPC's chat.

    This is by far, the worst video game I have ever played. Items are bad, loot is bad, voice acting is bad, music is bad. The art is amazing...but I can't tell where my character needs to walk, as I can't make out a door from a wall.

    The game itself is not fun. My own motto for a slogan for it would be, "I can't keep from putting it down!" You will have 99% boredom playing alone. The forced multiplayer is a giant detractor for me. You will have kids running up to you, spamming the voice emotes, ruining your immersion. Speaking of, your own hero will never feel as such. Just another generic adventurer, dashing around town to try to scrap maybe an ounce more power out of the **** gear you have found. As the game also has leveled enemies. So you will always face the exact same level as your own, you never feel strong, or powerful. There is no going back to farm a previous zone or region, to possibly get new items for a new character or new build you might want to try. You can get say, x1 item for something new, hope to try a build around that & miserably fail.

    This game is bad, bad beyond words, bad beyond comprehension. As a writer I can't think of any more blistering, scathing, deep seated rage & anger I've felt while in a game before, at having played this pile of trash. I've been called slurs in WoW that had less negative impact on me than this game experience has had on me, overall. From playing both betas, which were just server stress tests, with carrots of cosmetic items to get people to get playing the game initially. To the first x2 hours in game, dying, and realizing I had zero interest in even starting over again, no desire to play the Zero FunTM beginning of the game again. Where your hero is duped into helping some villagers, poisoned and is ready to be sacrificed to Lilith, when you have blood petals poured down your throat, which you puke up shortly after, but seems to really do nothing at all story wise after. Your own "character" is only important to the story, as a fact because they had an interaction w/ Blizzard's version of their own, "fan favorite" NPC in the franchise. There is barely a mention of Diablo, at all, in this entire Diablo game.

    I can not strongly enough express my boredom in playing this game. it is horrible, if there was ever a game that was an Anti-Diablo 2, as fun and a masterpiece as that was, this game is it. It is anti-fun mechanics on top of boring gameplay on top of bland music, dull, lifeless world and no content. It's a cash grab, not a business model. It is not, "just the way things are." I paid for an early release of the video game, The Forest. As it was from a tiny developer at the time, one who would need revenue to continue a project. This is the exact opposite of Blizzard, now a part of one of literally the largest companies on the planet. The cash shop is beyond ludicrous for its prices, most of which are 1/3 the base cost of the full retail game, for a single set. No cosmetic should cost more than barely a few dollars, for a free game at that. There should never, ever be a cash shop for a game that has a full retail cost.

    My zero score does not feel strong enough; if I could I'd rate it -10. The worst video game ever.    … Expand

    Leveling a character in season; feels like a chore. Season patch is a true fun killer. Why would a game company do something like that is beyond me.

    Disappointed with the game. With the Season we are forced to start new character and repeat 90% of the content to enjoy 10% of content that going to be deleted after season end. Content added to Season is not worth Money and time. Eternal round character got 00% content with season 1 release. Game forcing you to spend a big amount of time for no reason Ex: Horse not fixed =more time toDisappointed with the game.

    Just shows how little corporations care about their fans. From terrible updates to screwing you over with pricey battle passes(and currently useless), shows the same level of greed that has been getting worse for many franchises. Blizzard has failed their fan base with their greed and allowed a poor product to be released. Until they rectify this, it gets a poor score from me.

    Diablo IV is the perfect evolution of the series. The many new features make for a truly modern title, giving us an experience capable of keeping us glued to the controller for many hours, without neglecting the historical and most beloved features of the series. If we add to this a technical aspect of the highest quality, a very accessible multiplayer structure, and a huge end-game, we obtain a majestic title that stands as the best exponent of the action-RPG genre and is capable of bringing us plenty of emotions.

    Diablo IV is a social phenomenon and once again sets a new standard for the genre. It's a dark, spooky, action-packed experience. Combat is frantic, fluid and fun, while micro-management of resources and inventory feels better than ever before.

    Diablo IV is the culmination of everything Blizzard has set up before to make one ultimate experience. The world is stunning, drowned in a beautiful soundtrack that makes even the smallest moments feel epic. With a deep character system, satisfying combat and an endgame that feels like only the start of your adventure, it's hard not to recommend. Dig in, experiment with classes, fight some demons and loot some dungeons. You won’t regret it.
