    The campaign is decent, but the game falls apart when you level to 50 or higher. There are glaring issues. Build diversity is in a horrible spot.

Forget using frozen orb, fireThe campaign is decent, but the game falls apart when you level to 50 or higher. There are glaring issues. Build diversity is in a horrible spot. If you're a sorcerer, you're going to be running frost nova, flame shield, and ice armor on any sorceress build. There are only three endgame viable builds for the sorceress also: arc lash, ice shards, and fire wall. Forget using frozen orb, fire ball, charged bolts, chain lightning, or blizzard. They are just too weak. The enchantment system on the sorceress is just wildly unbalanced also. You'll be running fire bolt just to burn things so that you do more damage to them on any build. Some other big issues are the fact that monster scaling feels bad, item level requirements constantly increase as you level, and the quality of life is horrid. Monsters scaling makes it so that you never really feel powerful. The monsters are always increasing in difficulty as you level. It makes it so that you can play with friends of all levels, but it comes at a big cost. You'll see your level 10 friends killing things faster than you. You also lose out on the sense of power progression that you get from other ARPGs. Item level requirements that constantly increase feel terrible. The game basically has three tiers of items. Sacred and ancestral items come with set level requirements, but then they continue to scale up to your level when dropped. This feels bad as items I am finding now all have a level 85 requirement on them even though they are not more powerful than items I was finding at level 60. The item level requirement scaling makes trading rares terrible, gearing alt characters almost impossible, and it ruins being able to give friends rare items that would be good for them. My other big issue with the game is the lack of quality of life. It feels like they just rushed the game out after the campaign was polished and they threw in some endgame activities. The game lacks basic features like being able to search in your stash and having a place to store your gems. It also lacks social features like being able to talk in a global channel or being able to queue up for group activities. There is no loot filter either, so finding upgrades at higher levels becomes extremely tedious. You also have to run to nightmare dungeons, but a fix for that is supposedly coming within a few weeks. Overall, Diablo 4 just isn't worth the money right now. The campaign is okay, but ARPGs are known for their replayability at endgame. Diablo 4 completely misses the mark in this area due to the reasons above. I would recommend that you wait to purchase this game for probably a year or so. They may address some of the bigger issues by then.… Expand

    Basically a prettier version of Diablo 3, content wise just replace rifts with dungeons and you have Diablo 4. Combat is slow, mob density is low, movement is clunky, and very little build diversity. Hopefully seasons bring in some game changes and content but as of right now I was bored in less than a week.

    For the casual player it is worth to buy it. You have a good campaign and good immersion. The problem is that Diablo is THE franchise which in the past sets milestones in the genre. This isnt the fact with diablo 4.

    All mechanics are already known from other games. Nothing innovative here. I had fun playing this game until Level 60-70. But after that it gets boring. The progression system is similar to the Diablo 3 system where you just do Greater Rifts to level up your gems and get paragon points. The game in its actual state does have a lot of potential because of its nice combatsystem and graphics. If blizzard would change the endgamesystem similar to poe and do innovative stuff like last epoch, this game and its community would love it. Also in its actual state there are a lot of technical teething problems. - Barricades in a open world game which hinders players to ride through it.
    - low mobdensity
    - backtracking affixes in nightmaredungeons
    - missing endgame bosses and an interesting progression system
    - multiple missing QOL features such as geminventory, clunky horseriding turbo, less stashtabs, missing overlay map, no trading, dealers in towns are far away from each other, traveltimes are too high for nightmaredungeons.

    All in all this game has a good base but with a lot of air upward.    … Expand

    I have to share that I can't recommend this game at this time. I liked the story (wasn't terrible) and most the fun i had was like the old school d2 feel of playing with the builds/skills/abilities, the almost same nuance of the feeling of exploring something new and that seemed to all just go away the more I played as the lack of everything that finally was fixed in the prior series justI have to share that I can't recommend this game at this time. I liked the story (wasn't terrible) and most the fun i had was like the old school d2 feel of playing with the builds/skills/abilities, the almost same nuance of the feeling of exploring something new and that seemed to all just go away the more I played as the lack of everything that finally was fixed in the prior series just seemed to be completely omitted or reduced significantly in this version. The highlights (well low lights in this case):
    -gear rewards for ancestral dungeons is randomized to lower rated gear
    -purveyor gear stated as a specific tier also includes pool of lower rated gear
    -side quests you missed are not listed anywhere (D3 at least said do this bounty quest in a specific area of a region)
    -mounts seem horrifically useless and always just run into non visible blocks that just stop you or
    -random dismounts
    -i honestly think all the math isn't adding up as well for resists and damages but i can't be certain because there isn't clear way to see what values you're pulling as you can't look at your stats while playing
    -i'm getting just rubber banding issues at certain times and the constant hotfixes is causing disconnects
    -there doesn't seem to be any focus on anything that helps players in the long run while the studio just seems to put their attention on blocking anything that helps players (make elites spread out, make elites spawn less, make players get less XP, make sure to not fix any of the other major issues)
    -early game wasn't as expensive respecing but the more changes they keep making, the more folks are trying to find builds that will help and update gear that will help and it's all for naught because it'll get nerfed again or you're too broke to fully get to the point you're trying to reach
    -accessibility options are very minimal and don't really assist in anything outside the same ol' standard template of "just give 'em basic stuff so we can say we tried".
    -if you're gonna make this part Diablo Immortal, least put in the LFG for dungeons. That I dug and would help with folks who are on solo and just wanna clear an area faster. Currently no real way to find a group to do things like the old school battle net lobby and i think it's because the crossplay that lot of console players don't really chat from the console

    This feels like Diablo Immortal slapped on Diablo 3 very poorly with a promise of D2 feeling captured but it's like a D2 Lite Spritzer. The team seemed to have forgotten all the things they endured to make D3 better and it had a rocky start. I can't even agree with some of these folks that say it's more Diablo 3 - It seems pre D3 to me in the sense of the AH fiasco all over again. I'm slightly hopeful that Blizz will release something that they will be more vocal, they'll be more active and share why some of the choices they made were implemented that worked well in the previous iterations and that like the rough start of D3, they're gonna do what they can to make it right.

    It wouldn't be fair to just say the bad things about this game so:
    -i liked the story, it's a bit slow paced and some moments are definitely "why?!?1" but it's good for what they're trying to do with this live service and chapters approach
    -it does look pretty, those people saying it's a prettier D2/D3; that's not a negative and they should highlight that
    -i had fun with the exploring and seeing items dropped very early so again, fun for the first few days; when was the last time you were excited for a yellow item to drop?
    -all the easter eggs
    -trash titles

    I did see Devs released an update as i completed this and will definitely update this to better if they follow what they shared on the video
    https://youtu.be/3PO9OY7AIs4?t=1715
    -this is more personal but 25-28 bucks for a costume seems absurd, kudos to those that don't care about that and that's not included in my negative outlook for this game but it def is only for looks - no pay to win junk in the store as some of these other folks wrote.    … Expand

    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.

    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

    This game was bad before the patch. Diablo 3 was better and Diablo 2 remains the best in the series. This game has amazing graphics and a great story. That's it.

This game has amazing graphics and a great story. That's it.

    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.

    It just doesn't feel like Diablo anymore.    … Expand

    Frequent bugs preventing gameplay.
    Sign in issues. I feel like I paid 75 bucks to beta test.
    There seem to be a lot of self infected issues; gems taking up so much limited inventory; level and intro requirements.
    Requiring an xbox gold membership for in game features. Hopefully they listen to feedback

    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.
