    The best of the Diablo series by far. Those negative reviews are just people trying to sabotage the score.

    Meets my expectations although not groundbreaking. It's a familiar revamp of Diablo 2 with MMORPG elements

    Fake poor performance reports, its a well optimized game, it even runs on steam deck limited to 10W at medium settings at a stable 40 FPS.

    People trying to degen play this like streamers and youtubers, whos job is speedrun the game to produce content, and complaining the game as nothing to do? The endgame is farming for gear? What did you expect from an ARPG? Diablo as plenty to do and various ways after you reach level 50 and or finish the campaign for you to progress your character.

    Servers where down for about 1 hour 8 of june, and this delusional people, who dont even have the game, so they are playing through twitch streamers, came here and bombed the game. What a sad life you must have to deliberately do this.

    This game is a solid 8/10, good story overhall, great combat, great graphics, well optimized, classes feel fun to play, various ways to farm gear, diferent types of end game.

    Now there are many things that could be improved:
    - Stash needs rework and the ability to search
    - Implement gem only bag
    - Builds feel to "pre built" little room for creativity
    - World bosses could be more challenging

    70$ game, if you value your time at 1$ per hour, you get your money's worth and even more.

    When season launches, there will be a battle pass with free and premium tiers. It's not mandatory to progress your character nor does it award items nor power for your character, mainly cosmetics and currency.    … Expand

    Creo que el juego en sí es mediocre, pero no creo que merezca un bombardeo de calificación cero. Suelo jugar entre las 8 p. m. y las 10 p. m., hora central, y nunca he experimentado ningún problema con el servidor. Aunque todavía hay una falta de contenido del juego final, espero que con el regreso de la temporada y los parches futuros, haya mucho contenido nuevo que esperar.

    First the disadvantages:
    1. dull depressive music, like in POE (the music in such a game should be frightening, not depressing)
    2. the primitive form of the dungeon - a gut with a couple of branches, the absence of mazes (they gave Diablo 1-3 an atmosphere of mystery) 3. the same type of opponents, as if you beat the same opponent the whole game 4. there is no blood in battles, as if    First the disadvantages:

    The storyline is very impressive. Had so much fun playing through it. If you like grinding and pushing your char to perfection it also provides alot of things to do. Overall a very good Diablo release. Dont understand the comparison with Immortal. Its a proper PC/Console release.

    It would be hard to create a game that would appeal to both the die-hard ARPG fan who will crack out the calculator and spreadsheets to work out the optimal skills, and also the casual gamer who might not have played anything in the series before. I suffer from issues with aiming sometimes on console. But not much else.    … Expand

    This is one of the best games in the Diablo series, the character creation is already one of the best in the series, and the cutscenes are incredible with your character present. The story is also one of the best it's ever been in the series. The only thing I have a problem with, is the server issues. Once they fix the servers for logging in and random disconnects, the score will be a 10.

    Diablo 4 is an excellent ARPG. Probably the best I've played since Diablo 2. Personally, I wasn't that big a fan of D3, as it didn't seem to be a significant upgrade to D2, and there were a few mechanics with the marketplace and torment difficulty where I thought Blizzard really dropped the ball. D4 gets the all-important gameplay mostly right. It is challenging and rewarding. TheDiablo 4 is an excellent ARPG. Probably the best I've played since Diablo 2. Personally, I wasn't that big a fan of D3, as it didn't seem to be a significant upgrade to D2, and there were a few mechanics with the marketplace and torment difficulty where I thought Blizzard really dropped the ball. D4 gets the all-important gameplay mostly right. It is challenging and rewarding. The advancement system is deep and thorough. The enemy encounters are much better than the previous games. Enemies have a variety of attacks that they can use, including telegraphed attacks that do large damage. There is also a flask system like Dark souls so you can't just spam endless potions. The end result of these changes is that it is actually important to avoid taking damage by making liberal use of the dodge feature, and the overall gameplay is more difficult and engaging, for the first half anyway.

    There were a few downsides. This is very wordy for a Diablo game, especially with the huge number of sidequests, and the writing is of a much lesser quality than previous titles. After finishing a veteran mode playthrough I found the second half of the game to be face-roll easy, and the last act to be bloated with overlong cutscenes and cinematics. It would have benefitted from some fine-tuning and editing.    … Expand

They really need to implement a new game plus system or something to allow the player to go back through the campaign on the higher tier systems. Because where this game shines is the main story! The writing is good the story animations are good an the boss fights are all top notch and all completely different from each other. Why you wouldn't want your players to play through that experience over an over again is beyond me! The devs really messed up on that part.

Title: A Triumph of Dark Fantasy: Diablo 4 - an Unforgettable Dive into a Grim World

    Review:

    Diablo 4 is undeniably one of the most anticipated games of the past decade, and I am thrilled to say that it lives up to all expectations. The latest chapter in Blizzard Entertainment's legendary series not only surpasses its predecessors but also sets new standards for the action RPG genre.

    Right from the beginning, Diablo 4 captivates with its deep and immersive story. You find yourself in a dark fantasy world steeped in darkness and chaos, bearing witness to an epic battle between good and evil. The meticulously crafted narrative comes alive through stunning cinematic scenes and top-notch voice acting, infusing depth and emotion into the characters.

    The gameplay in Diablo 4 is on a whole new level compared to previous installments. Every strike, every spell cast with smooth and realistic animations, delivers a sense of power and satisfaction. The character progression system offers a vast array of abilities and combinations, allowing players to create unique heroes that align with their playstyle.

    The world of Diablo 4 breathes with life. Each location, every corner, is infused with an atmosphere of darkness and terror. The diverse landscapes and intricately detailed environments immerse you in a realm of grim fantasy, where every step can be your last.

    Diablo 4's multiplayer mode offers unparalleled opportunities for collaboration and competition. You can join forces with friends to take on mighty bosses, tackle challenging dungeons, or engage in thrilling PvP battles. The seamless online integration ensures a dynamic and engaging social experience.

    Visually, Diablo 4 is a feast for the eyes. The graphics are stunning, with meticulous attention to detail, realistic lighting, and breathtaking visual effects. The art direction perfectly captures the dark and gritty aesthetic of the Diablo universe, enhancing the overall immersion.

    Furthermore, the soundtrack of Diablo 4 is a masterpiece in its own right. The haunting melodies and epic orchestral compositions amplify the game's atmosphere, evoking a range of emotions from awe to spine-chilling dread.

    In conclusion, Diablo 4 is a triumph that exceeds expectations on all fronts. It delivers an enthralling story, engaging gameplay, and a captivating world that will keep players hooked for countless hours. With its impeccable presentation and a wealth of content, Diablo 4 is poised to become a modern classic in the action RPG genre.    … Expand

As a person who did not like diablo 3 at all and has played diablo 2 for over 20 years now the game strikes a great balance of both previous games and is a worthy successor(finally) to diablo 2. The game has plenty to do and makes a great base for the diablo devs to expand upon. The team at blizzard has done a great job keeping the game up during both early access launch and world wide release. I didn't even get a single disconnect during either of those times. Also since its a "live service" game they are constantly making changes ever few days. This is a first in the franchise for that type of attention and service and blizzard seems to be holding up their end of the bargain to bring the game to life. Time will tell if they can maintain that level of attention over the long haul but its off to a good start. Also with as much as they are promoting the game in creative ways its easy to see they are really "all in" with this game and want to see it succeed here. I cant wait to see what the diablo 4 devs bring us next with seasons and leader boards coming shortly.

    Game is currently being review bombed here and it 100 percent doesn't deserve that. The game for me is a easy 10/10. Caveat being you will enjoy this game alot more if you enjoyed diablo 2 over diablo 3.    … Expand

    I'm new to the Diablo series. So far, I have about 20 hours in on Diablo 4, plus the open beta and server slam weekends. I've also played Diablo 2 resurrected a little, but nowhere near as much.

The music, voice acting, and sound design    I'm new to the Diablo series. So far, I have about 20 hours in on Diablo 4, plus the open beta and server slam weekends. I've also played Diablo 2 resurrected a little, but nowhere near as much.

    I've personally loved my time in Sanctuary so far. I do have some criticisms, but the game is solid and enjoyable. The game is beautiful on Series X. The music, voice acting, and sound design are phenomenal. I've also found myself more invested in the story and characters than I would have expected. The combat feels excellent for the most part, and finding a build that works for you and then refining it to be even better is very satisfying. Running into and teaming up with players in the overworld is fun, but running into another player is rare enough that it feels kind of special.

    I've had minimal technical issues. Twice I've had server problems that were resolved within an hour, and once I had an odd latency issue where my character's actions were lagging behind my controller inputs. It lasted a couple of minutes, and then it resolved itself. In an age where so many AAA games launch in a completely broken state, for me, at least, Diablo IV has presented minimal technical issues.

    My one criticism is that the dungeons get repetitive on a visual level. The overworld is beautiful and varied, but there are four basic variations on the dungeons. It would have been nice if they had the same level of variety and detail as the overworld. The cellars are even more repetitious but also very brief, so it doesn't come as close to feeling like a chore.

    Some people will find the combat repetitious, and make no mistake, it is. I find it repetitious, like a bowl of ice cream is repetitious; every bite tastes the same, but it's still enjoyable.
    Some people will also criticize the existence of microtransactions. Yeah, they are there, and they are stupidly expensive. They are also limited to cosmetics and are not advertised anywhere beyond the store tab that you have to navigate to manually. It's not like other games that push ads for microtransactions as soon as you press start.
    Summary
    Overall this is a solid game with minor technical issues that I have hardly impacted my ability to play the game. I love the overworld and the sense of exploration, but the dungeons can sometimes be repetitive and bland. The combat repetition may eventually bother me, but if it does, I can always mix it up by creating another character of a different class. Microtransactions (and expensive) are present but not heavily pushed right now.    … 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.
