Jesus Christ Blizzard, I guess you are stillsetting new standards in the gaming industry, just not good ones. Has anyone ever opened reddit or Twitter from your team? How was it a good idea to nerf everything across the board into the ground? You deal less damage than before the patch, which makes leveling even more of a grind. You can take less damage which makes you die faster, which makes leveling more of a grind. On top of that you destroyed cool downs across the board. How is it fun to run in circles to wait for the cooldowns? It's mind boggling really. And to round it up you decided to finally delete the sorc from the game, because f*** it, sorc was bad in pre season already so why not just delete it from the game altogether?… Expand

    The widespread criticism of D4 is entirely warranted. Balancing is one thing (and not what Blizzard was trying to achieve with the patch from hell), but nerfing the game into the ground is another. Forget everything else, the massive global nerf to damage, defense, CRD and XP - and all of the things that follow on from it - is the most out of touch thing I have ever seen in a game.

Forget everything else, the massive global nerf to damage, defense, CRD and XP - and all of the things that follow on from it - is the most out of touch thing I have ever seen in a game.

    I don’t participate in things that reach a certain value proposition threshold - time v reward, enjoyment v frustration, effort v outcome. I uninstalled the game ten minutes after trying each of my classes post the patch. I waited to test them, because it’s important to react to reality rather than impression - but my suppositions were correct. I absolutely will not validate this kind of cynical behaviour, either in life or in the virtual world. When you take meritocracy and choice away and supplant it with ‘you must accept what we give you - and by the way, you won't enjoy it’, I walk away. So I will not add to their metrics by even logging into the launcher.

    If this is remedied, I may check back - but I have little faith that Blizzard will address these out of touch nerfs, let alone the myriad of QOL, necessary fixes and missing aspects of the game that the fan base has been calling for since release.    … Expand

The game in the current state seems like an unpolished beta test. I will rather play D2R instead of D4. My decision to give D4 a rating of 4 is because it has great potential but in the current state seems more like an expansion to a flawed D3 game. If only the game were more like D2....so sad.… Expand

    Patch 1.1 was a huge step backwards. Nerfing Sorcerers, the weakest class. Nerfing dungeon exits. Nerfing literally every class and reducing experience gain. I don't need to go into detail, other people have already done that. You made the game worse.

Game design is awful as always from Blizzard, bland talent tree, green and red tooltips making us think we're stupid and can't figure out what's better ourselves. UI feels extremely mobile because the game is catered to console users for maximum profit. Further, they're giving us only a few keybinds and they're massive and glued to under your action bar and cannot be turned off.

    This version of Diablo is missing so many essential aspects that we are so used to with past games. It feels like it's also missing the game's social aspect, especially on consoles. The skill tree is lackluster at best. No runewords. This is a $40 game, and it will be the last time I ever preorder a Blizzard game.

    Due to the irresponsible patching of the management, the "Rogue" players felt angry and disappointed. Not only did the patch simply nerf the character, but the mechanism of character play itself collapsed, and there was no reason to play "Rogue" anymore after the endgame.

I've played better if you don't balance the classes it's useless. You can't charge a Beta game as effective and have to wait for patches to balance. Make him pay less and write us beta then I'm fine with it but full price for a finished product doesn't exist. Side quests few good and many repetitive. It's deadly boring doing secondary schools that don't shine at all. Reviewers give this game too high a rating it deserves 6 to 7 maximum. Scale your expectations this game costs too much for what it offers. The thing that is most to like are the localized dialogues, open world and cutscenes.… Expand

    The gameplay itself is very similar to Diablo immortal, which for a F2P mobile game was adequate - but for a triple A flagship title all I can say is Diablo 4 feels half baked and unpolished.

    The "Skill Tree" is essentially a linear "choose one" skill selector, and the paragon board only gives an illusion of depth and diversity, which seriously detracts from the long term replayability of Diablo 4, which has always been the franchises strength. More than anything however - is that it just wasn't fun, even in the early access beta when everything was new and shiny it just felt like a boring version of any other generic low budget ARPG. I know comparing it to Diablo Immortal might come off as a slur, but it really does feel like the closest analogue in terms of feel and fun, and in some respects I think I liked Diablo Immortal better.

    I'm sad to find that this game fell flat on it's face, as with any other game in the Diablo franchise I was looking forward to many years of at least casual engagement, but I found myself bored, uninterested and just not caring shockingly fast.

    In preparation for this review, I ended up asking myself - would I play this game if it was F2P - and ultimately, no, this isn't worth even my time - I have better games to play, and just touching grass would be a more rewarding experience than spending a couple hours in Diablo 4. Considering this is a full price $70 (minimum) game with already oodles of premium add-ons, micro transactions, battle passes and more - I question how the standards of developers have slipped so far.    … Expand

    Early acess 02/06/23 : minor bugs, servers were working pretty well. I progress through the campaign with my friends and it went pretty well.But once we achieved endgame features, there's a lot of bugs.
    Nightmare dungeons : bugged. You can't go in with friends because you will be desynchronised 1 dungeon out of 2.
    Helltide : unplayable with lags. you'll die everytime you take a lag, and you'll lose your components.

    Release date 06/06/23 : lags everytime. Permanent lags, so totally unplayable endgame features

    08/06/23 22h30 GMT+1 : Crash server. Can't play. Only 2 days since release.

    Enough with server problems. There's also class balance problems. Barbarian is Godlike, rogue is too squishy (gets one shotted by almost everything), necromancer has literraly 0 mobility, druid is unkillable, and sorcerer is the only balanced class.

    Let's talk about campaign : Act 1, 2, 3 ,4 and 5 are Star Wars Disney tier. Act 6 is a real masterpiece.
    Campaign boss fights are for retarded ppl. they have 0 mechanics, they just have a ton of hp.
    Only Lilith have a real boss fight. And Elias after the campaign will have a real boss fight too.

    The Artistic Direction is perfect. that's why i give them 1 point.
    Sound Design is good, but Lost Ark is better at it.

    There's a lack of features in the UI. We can't see other player's profile. there's no statistics, can't watch playtime, there's no ladder.
    There's no search bar for items in the stash. Gems take too much space

    And there's a ton of other bugs, like sometimes you can't use any ability or dash. Sometimes the horse's pathfinding will totally bug. Cinematics will sometimes bug when you play with friends, only 1 in the group will the dialogues / cinematics.

    There's no diversity in the bestiary and the dungeon bosses or in the decorations. All monsters are recycled with different color, and they are spread all over the entire map. Dungeons are procedural but you will see always the same monsters in them.
    Dungeon Bosses are catastrophic. Distant / Mage bosses are retarded, they do no damage so you can just burst them with any build.
    Melee Bosses are a nightmare, they run faster than you, have an attack speed higher than the light speed. So you almost can't kite them and if you don't play barbarian, druid or sorcerer frost you'll just instant die.

    The games graphics are great. Art direction is great. Smooth launch. Great story. The biggest problem is class balance, with Necromancer in particular being by far and away the worst.

The biggest problem is class balance, with Necromancer in particular being by far and away the worst. The class as a whole was completely destroyed after the open/closed betas and so far have only received small buffs to minions. They lack survivability and have zero movement. They are underpowered in single target boss fights, and don't even get me started on PVP. While it's not uncommon to see unkillable Barbs, Druids, Sorcerers pumping out massive AOE and single target damage. Necromancer struggles at both. I was really hopeful that I would spend hundreds if not thousands of hours with this game over the next few years. But the state Necromancer has launched in has destroyed all the hype I had for this game. Now I'm wondering if I'll even manage to stick around for the first season let alone the first expansion.
    I leveled up a Barb and Rogue just to compare and confirm my suspicions and they were absolutely confirmed. Those characters were easily able to complete content my Necromancer struggled on and in the case of The Butcher my Necromancer was the only one to die. Bottom line it's a great game if you don't want to main Necromancer. However Necromancer is so bad and feels so lackluster in so many area I find myself wondering how much longer I really want to play. There is hope on the horizon though with Path of Exile 2 not to far off in the future. Maybe they'll give me the class fantasy Diablo 4 can't or won't.    … Expand

    My first day of the game was fine, played an entire session no disconnects or lag at all. I managed to reach the last quest of campaign and then got booted out three times in a row as I was about to finish the quest.

I managed to reach the last quest of campaign and then got booted out three times in a row as I was about to finish the quest.

    Now upon hitting level 50 it seems as though the game is just determined to prevent me from actually finishing a single quest. I get disconnected every single time I get to the last portion of boss health or kill the last enemy, lag out and simply do not get the reward. This would be fine, I can live with side quests and the like as their rewards are menial anyway.

    But how, after several months of testing, can there still be a game breaking bug in the capstone dungeon to allow the player to progress to past veteran tier? Of the 10 attempts at this dungeon before contemplating throwing the console and controller out the window, my first 4 saw the boss de-spawn as he hit the last quarter of health bar, no way to exit the instance besides disconnecting from the server and relaunching the game.

    The remaining attempts saw me make it to the boss 5 out of 6 times, only to just flat out be disconnected after a 5 second freeze.

    Again, if this were checkpointed like all the other campaign quests then this wouldn't be as much of an issue. However, you need to restart the entire instance, along with the pre-boss each time, and it is vital to complete to progress the game. Abysmal design from Blizz here, but I don't know why the hell I expected any different, its becoming a track record for them.

    I'm still finding rare items more powerful than unique items, and since i can't progress my world tier I guess I'll continue to do so... Deep customisation? Crunchy visceral combat that you can feel? I can't believe I bought into all that nonsense. Game launches without set items. Quite frankly I don't expect to pay £70 for a game to still be beta testing it post release. I have no idea why this trend of releasing broken games that are required to be constantly online, yet consistently fail to do so, has taken off in recent years, but if it continues in this fashion then its the beginning of the end for gaming.

    I cannot recommend this game in its current state and have no intentions of buying any Blizz games at launch again, ever.    … Expand

    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.

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

    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

    Search Actman Diablo 4 and watch any of his related reviews. Search Blizzard lawsuits.

    I scheduled my G.D. vacation time for the D4 release & 3 days into playing it stopped being fun. I'm still upset. What a scam.

    The once great Blizzard North was bought out over a decade ago and none of the brilliant minds still work there at what is now called Activision Blizzard. I didn't know this until after buying D4. Blizzard pumps out flashy games with no substance and puts the Blizzard stamp on it to cash in on nostalgia and utilize predatory in game cash transaction practices. Their games are pure marketing & sales. Look at reviews for any of their games in the last decade. I wish I had.

    Don't believe the positive critic reviews or the fake positive reviews masquerading as negative ones. Blizzard pays for those to confuse people

    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.
