    Microtransactions & battle passes. Beyond that, for whatever reason the xbox score is higher than the rest for no good reason. Needs to be taken down a couple notches to meet the others.

    Hilarious that you see a 92 when you search and no user score. Like every other non bot user comment has stated, this game blows. Needs work with how many years in development?

    This isn't a Diablo game at all. This is another cash grab by greedy corporate suits who view us gamers as cattle. The story is uninspired. The combat is stale and oversimplified. The game's experience is deplorable, with the only complete and well-thought-out feature being the shop, which is the only part of this "game" I have good words for.

    suck game team
    They have a lot of resources and make the worst games.
    Game production management wastes time on fitness.
    Even a fake Q&A in the live broadcast.
    Comments from the discussion boards of the official website They never take... any comments.
    It is simply the style of the Chinese Communist Party, the management can change the surname to Xi.

    Not recommend to buy.
    The game wasn't ready.
    Blizzard doesn't listen to the community, doesn't fix the most important issues of the game(stash, lack of end game content, resistances doesn't work).
    Instead they just nerf all the classes.
    Feels like they need at least 1-2 more years for the game to be ready.

    Players are not limited to playing just this game. Regarding the efforts we have invested over time, if designers want to make changes, they should consider the players’ feelings. But it’s okay; I can go and play other games. I won’t become your plaything.

    Was really hyped to play the new Diablo to wash the taste of Diablo Immortal out of my mouth. The game seemed fun at the start but at ever turn they need anything that was remotely fun and 70% of the end game is repeating the exact same content for a slot pull on an actually decent item.

Quickly after that while playing I noticed my characters gear was awful looking in comparison to friends with different classes. The rule of cool is paramount in games I don't know how many times we have to go through this with devs we want to play something that looks and feels cool. Get a body size slider in and get the druids gear looking far better than the trash that's been designed so far.

    Secondly after multiple patches all they've done is nerf our characters into the dirt, I play solo now because my friends gave up and I can't play because my characters been nerfed and I'm playing the way I want with the abilities I want I'm not changing my class around every single patch because Blizzard decides "no you're having fun with that build that's not allowed" As it stands I've given up and won't go back to playing and certainly won't invest money into something I'm not having fun with.

    Blizzard needs to start thinking about the reasons people are doing what they are doing in diablo 4 to actually tackle the problem of the game. Why are people boosting alts, why are we in a rush to get to level 85 or 100, why do all the builds max out vulnerable and crit damage...

    Instead of tackling the topical issues, why not address the root ones : content, new classes, having different builds be usable, more world tiers, ability to play with friends at at level and everyone getting meaningful progression.

    Exploring is not encouraged, as there is nothing new you will see or find in another corner of the map!

    +1% chance of harder attack on Saturdays, it's a joke of a loot system!

    Shields exist in the game, bows exist in the game, who can wield them?
    Only rogue can use a bow.
    Only necromancer (!) can use a shield.
    Barbarian has to carry 4 weapons simultaneously even if he uses 1 or 2!

    Why?
    It seems like n 8 year old was writing the logic behind this.

    Depth of character builds - non existent!
    You have one generator skill, one damage skill, one ultimate, other situational, that is it, you have to always play the same way - generate, then DPS, every single character.

    Visuals are good, but that's about it.
    Story very bleak. Progression is non existent.
    Camera is horrible, druid bear literally occupies half the screen.

    They could've just taken D3, add a noir atmosphere from D2, add some interesting mechanics from existing ARPGs, and that's it, with the popularity of the franchise there was absolutely no chance of failure!

    Instead we have this steaming pile of bs, that will get you bored in several days, once you figure out the builds (2-3) of them for each character.

Dungeon after dungeon after dungeon with little to no incentive to explore the okay world unless you are doing helltide. Which by the way, is also boring as h***. There needs to be some serious polishing of characters abilities as well as you will only logically be able to use one f****** ability per class.

Vuln crit cooldown reduc and armor still only stats to roll same as armor so this patch doesn't change damage buckets at all it just kills the Eternal server, forces you into seasonal server and destroys literally any fun that this game had to offer. The additive buffs are literally irrelevant. This patch kills s1 hype completely. This review is from a lvl 100 Twisting Blades Rogue who despite the insane lack of end game content was still having a ton of fun before this new patch.

    Each level up turns into a problem because the player needs to think about how to catch up with the momentarily increased power of the monsters.

    The monsters are always a few steps ahead and you're catching up. And it’s not easy to catch up, you need to regularly study the descriptions of everything, spend a lot of time studying skills and synergies in order to catch up with monsters that are always ahead in strength.
    This is absurd!

    The game turns into build management to just not die from a rat, and this need is constant!

    Auto level kills the most basic mechanics of the RPG genre, level up to move further. Here you lvl up to lvl up, it makes no sense.    … Expand

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.

    Don't buy this game. You won't have a good time. You will find that your character gets weaker as the game progresses. Half the mechanics aren't working as intended, and the other half is boring and oversimplified. The graphics will stutter on almost any setting unless you've got a 40 series GPU.

    Every system in this game is meticulously designed to waste your time in meaningless, unnecessary small ways. The itemization is a joke compared with its contemporaries. So is the story. So is the world, and so are the graphics, for that matter.

    The problems with the game have been evident since the first beta weekend and have been communicated to Blizzard endlessly. They are not interested in resolving them. They'll take easy wins with temporary balance changes that they'll yoink right back from under you when they reckon they've gotten away with it.

    Don't give these bastards any money. They haven't earned any of it. And don't waste your time on this steaming pile when you have fantastic alternatives in PoE (Soon 2) and Last Epoch. Both well designed, player-friendly games with different levels of complexity to appease differing tastes. Put this "game" out of your mind.

    EDIT: I haven't played anymore and didn't return for the new season because of the massive patch to nerf everything in the game. I highly recommend you avoid this title like the plague. It's riddled with systems maliciously designed to waste your time and money.    … Expand

The latest patch is an absolute disgrace, slowing down and nerfing the entire game just to drag things out, I am assuming to try and cover for the fact that there really isn't anything exciting to do once you have finished the main campaign. Running the same 6 NM dungeons over and over is NOT fun. The graphics are amazing, the sound is some of the best I have ever experienced, and the main storyline was reasonable. But past level 50 the itemisation is rubbish, the UI is terrible, and there are so many "design" elements that have obviously put in place simply to slow down progression. I am sad to admit that I have now given up and won't even be playing Season 1. Such a shame, it had such great promise (on release and for the first week I would have given an 8, but after yesterday's patch (1.1) I stand by my 0)

    Hey Bliz, here's an idea for you. If you want to encourage "engagement", make your game fun, not a pain in the ass slog that feels a lot more like work than fun. Here's some engagement for you though, after decades of reading metacritic, your 1.1 patch actually got me to create an account so I could do this review!    … Expand

    公司無視玩家真正的需求.更新內容跟屎一樣.一些無關緊要的~大家誰管你駱駝叫不叫!
    完全不懂現在市場玩家們所需要的.現代人根本沒有太多時間在電腦前跟你耗時這麼久.一個刷寶遊戲
    想搞得像魂系列這樣嗎?...

    This game requires substantial time investment to play towards reaching end game content. The end content revolves around finding the best gear to reach Tier 100 nightmare dungeon and complete the Uber Lilith fight. Patch 1.1 has basically turned this already boring loop into an unbearable slog even with the upcoming S1 malignant heart buffs. Exp NERF was the final nail in the coffin for me.

    No care for the players, only the money they already received. It's sad that they did this, but at least it lets the players know to not trust Blizzard in the future. Weird they would shoot their own foot like this, but I guess this is what they wanted.

    -I like the concept of the upgrading weapons and adding aspects to gear. -I was enjoying the playthrough, side missions and strong holds, and dungeons were cool. -The graphics and cut scenes are beautiful. -I did enjoy plowing through big packs of monsters and helping friends progress through the game.
    - I like they are adapting qualities from Path of Exile
    +Very disappointed with this last patch, it seems they made everyone more squishy, more likely to be 1 shot, made leveling slower, made skills less effective, nerfed stats like vulnerable, critical strike, overpower, ect.
    +seems like we are being rewarded less since the patch on things like helltide and dungeons. + kinda disappointed about how many legendary items there are for the game, I remember that was one of the goals to find the legendary items that were useful or at least valuable. I like most items dropped are class specific, but then you negate trading aspects, how am I going to trade the druid for the necro item?
    +NO SET ITEMS? That was a super cool thing in diablo 2 set items get the whole set and get these extra attributes, cmon guys.
    +What is the point of playing seasons if your cool perks/items/bonuses ect don't transfer to eternal?
    +-+ Are you trying to make a game fun and interactive for the players?
    +-+ Are you trying to 1UP your free game adversary (POE)Path of Exile, or just milk your audience for money with a in comparison **** competitor?
    +-+ Path of Exile makes a really good game and seems to have the players in mind before making money, hence being a free game, and making good content. You have 20 years on them and you pull this 1.1 crap, shame on you.

    I have more to say but will leave it there.    … Expand

    My first Blizzard title was Rock'n'Roll Racing; I have played every Diablo game, every Warcraft game, every World of Warcraft expansion, all of StarCraft. I don't mention this to give weight to my perception, I mention this to give weight to my perception of the steady decline in quality and forks-given of Blizzard products.
    I waited a decade for Diablo 3, did the midnight screening, took 3 days off work to play. Yes the launch was a cluster, and the story felt as retread as the new Star Trek movies, but it was fun, it was smooth, and it was a good finished product. Care went into the art direction, gameplay, sound and music, and the story.
    I can't say any of that for this raging dumpster fire called Diablo $4. ("Diablo for Dollars", I like that, will probably use again)
    Server crashes and server burps are annoying, yes. Blizzard cookie cutter style builds are annoying. Blizzard nerfbats are utterly stupid. The company is so focused on the "long game" they have forgotten how to make an enjoyable and smooth experience anymore.
    The drama around "overpowered builds" is the biggest waste of time I have seen to date, because at the rate gamers are uninstalling the game, no one is going to be around to care.
    When I say the "Blizzard polish" is lacking, what I meant to say is it is nonexistent. Some of sloppiest work I have seen, ever. Voice acting that doesn't match script. Some Enya-esque musical leprosy while fighting Uber Lilith. Horses are stagger and burp every, single, time, you, mount, up. Struggles to find stats that make the game even remotely fun to play, then grinding for hours to find no gear with stats you can use; and then not getting anything useful from salvaging your gear. A plot that barely pays lip service to perhaps the greatest corrupted love story in the Blizzard portfolio, and we're left with a pissy former archangel being petulant with the daughter of a Prime Evil and no meaningful insight or exposition as to what really happened, or what happened between them.
    Speaking of lack, I know the Blizzard Original Thought Well ran dry a long time ago (just look at the decline in WoW expansions), but did you have to crib from Path of Exile, Grim Dawn, and Lost Ark?
    There's an old saying: "to steal from one is plagiarism, to steal from many is research". What do you call it when you steal from many and manage to not be nearly as engaging or good as any of them? |
    Frankly, as soon as I saw this, my first thought was, huh, so this is what Blizzard is going to try to use as a test bed for World of Warcraft 2. Then I thought, huh, this will be their last product before the Microsoft acquisition goes through. Maybe Microsoft can instill some actual pride in the work here, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
    If you're a fanboy who wants to grind for days to be in the top .001%, this is the game for you.
    If you want to play something casually, or enjoy the time you do have to put into gaming, go take a look at the Steam Summer Sale and support a studio that isn't coasting on its former glory.    … Expand

    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.
