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

    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

    Its amazing how people whine over this patch. This patch shouldve been day 1. Within a week of release, people hit lvl 100, killed uber boss, did all content. Things that shouldve taken weeks. And now that Bliz slowed everything down to what it shouldve been, everyone is crying. Get off you high horses people. Enjoyin the patch, great game. Give me more Diablo!!!

    Potential to be such a good game. Developers are so out of reach with the community and what can make Diablo 4 strive and be an enjoyable ARPG. High hopes for seasonal updates only to be met with the most disappointing patch notes in history of any game...

A month on, the game remained balanced, despite justifiable adjustments having been made to certain classes, I enjoyed the first month of play. Following that initial month of joy, and 2 days prior to the launch of their first "season", Blizzard released a patch that sucked all joy from the game. 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. Blizzards response to this, so far, seems to have been to either ignore feedback or repeat their justifications around slowing player progress and making the game harder to play. This is unfortunate, as before the patch, the game was a real pleasure to play.… 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

    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

    1.1 patch is a giant dumpster fire. Anything past level 80 is completely pointless. There have been no meaningful QOL changes that have been desperately needed already, not even but a little over a month after launch. 90% of what the community has asked for has been ignored/communication has been radio silent. I do not recommend touching this game for at least another year at this rate

    - 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.

    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.

    Blizzard has sold unfinished games at a high price and is cheating gamers and they are not even trying to solve the problem.
    This game is full of devices to increase game time. Fun is no longer their top priority. This is the result of their best efforts. They seem to have no future.

All was going ok until the last patch where my glass cannon level 70 necro was suddenly a glass wimp, attacking with all the strength of a piece of wet lettuce. 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

There loot pool and drop rates are like finding a needle in a hay stack and drops sacred at lvl 100 playing tier 60 nightmare dungeons and higher. It take 124 of consistent playing to get to lvl 100 that and the common folk not streamers don’t have that kind of time to put into the game. Rolls right back around to what i said at the beginning this games grind is worse then grinding pinnacles to obtain highest power score in destiny.

    Diablo IV started off well, but its shortcomings have become more apparent as the weeks go on. It was always half-baked and lacking features, but still somewhat enjoyable to play. The graphics are good, but the story is forgettable and was clearly shoehorned into being extended infinitely into their live-service "seasons".

    The online-only requirement is a joke. Forget about testing    Diablo IV started off well, but its shortcomings have become more apparent as the weeks go on. It was always half-baked and lacking features, but still somewhat enjoyable to play. The graphics are good, but the story is forgettable and was clearly shoehorned into being extended infinitely into their live-service "seasons".

    The online-only requirement is a joke. Forget about testing yourself in Hardcore, since any connection issue on either yours, Blizzard's, or Xbox's side will result in permadeath for your character.

    I initially enjoyed the gameplay, acknowledging the obvious slower pace when compared to Diablo III. The resource generation is a fraction of what it was in the previous game, and it really shows with the skills used in meta builds.

    The loot in this game is absolutely abysmal. Items regularly drop 10-15 levels below your current level. Killing level 67 enemies to get a level 45 item in return is not rewarding. Even if the loot is appropriately-scaled, there is no guarantee you will have good RNG with the item power, and it will still most likely be useless. I frequently fill up my inventory with rares and legendaries to just end up selling or salvaging it all.

    Build viability is a major issue. Druid, Rogue, and Necromancer all have effective builds, but some are much more effective than others. Barbarian has a few decent builds, but nothing super optimal. Good luck if you want to play Sorcerer though. You've heard of glass cannon, well say hello to glass squirt gun.

    On top of all the balancing issues, the UI is horrendous. Clearly little effort or funding was put into testing any of it.

    All of the above issues were apparent before the recent 1.1 patch... so what did this patch change? Did Blizzard improve any of the UI issues? Did they buff less effective builds? Did they bring back any quality of life features from previous games? Did they make loot worth grinding for? No. Of course not. This patch entailed wide-spread nerfs to damage, survivability, loot drops, and XP gain. Not even the mistreated sorcerers could escape the Wrath of Blizzard's nerf hammer.

    This game was slow to begin with, but now it is slower, more difficult, more tedious, less rewarding, and ultimately less fun. I will not be playing this game until the issues are fixed, and I encourage others to make the same decision.

    This game has a lot of potential, but it seems like the devs are purposely doing everything they can to prevent anyone from having any fun. Blizzard, please step out of your own way and give us the game you promised.    … Expand

    How do we get players to play more and longer hours?
    Reduce exp gain, add more walls, slow them down, make them wait longer.

    How do we make it challenging for players? Nerf class skills, nerf damage, nerf items, nerf aspects, buff monster.

The way the game has been handled by blizzard since the release has been messy at best. Continuous nerfs to various abilities and farming methods was very frustrating, though some things legitimately needed to be hotfixed, but the latest patch not fixing ANY of the numerous core issues plaguing the game and instead instating even more nerfs is extremely confusing.

    Who ever is making decisions about patch priorities should be reassessed. We (mostly) tend to play video games to have fun and the long list of hotfixes and this recent patch have active removed this element from the game. Why would anyone play something that is no longer fun?

    Server Lag is horrible. There is a known memory leak that still remains unfixed that causes frequent game crashes. The effectiveness of many builds were destroyed and there is no compensation for all the players that now have to reassess and rebuild their characters since the issue of respeccing/ cost is still unaddressed.

    There is much more that can be discussed but it seems to fall on deaf ears with blizzard.

    The game was ruined by updates that are only meant to make the game more of a grind and keep people playing longer artificially. All fun has been removed.

    Boring, no real content, multiplayer doesn't really exist (no matchmaking). This game is incomplete.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game just keeps getting worse instead of betting. 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. During beta I would have given the game a 9, after patch 1.1, it's a hard zero. I'm disappointed in Blizzard, they've really let their players down.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game was amazing before this patch but now I just don’t understand. Why do this kind of patch right before your first season . Well I was playing every day since early access and now I’m just going to play something else and come back one day .… Expand

    Was fun for a week during launch. Consistently bad updates from the devs have driven all the fun from the game. Everyone i know has moved on to other games.

    I'm not sure I've ever reviewed a game before. I've played every Diablo game. I was very excited for 4. It was actually pretty fun at first. End game needed some work, but certainly there were tens of hours of solid content.

    However, this season one patch is such a tone-deaf and transparent attempt to slow down a game that is meant to be defined by action. Probably to funnel people towards microtransactions to speed things along. I can't in good conscience give this game a good rating.

    Fix the action. Fix the loot. Fix group finding. Then maybe you can have a successful online loot-based ARPG.

    Devs, take the feedback from the community on this one. You've been ignoring it so far.    … Expand

    I never thought I'd be disappointed with a Blizzard game but I am. This is not the Diablo game I expected. Trash.

    El juego tenía potencial hasta la salida del parche 1.1.0 nerfearon las builds más usadas pero no dieron una mejora a ninguna otra, ahora se obtiene menos exp. Los mobs tienen más vida y los personajes hacen menos daño además de resistir menos.

    I put in 60+ hours in this game only for the developers to take a sledgehammer to all that hard work with the recent patch. I'm done with Diablo and I'm done with Blizzard

    Post patch, this game basically sets you back a significant portion. I've played a lot of this game, after their nerf patch on everything I feel like instead of level 95 I went back to level 80. They've compensated for nothing and I currently don't have any desire to play season 1 after playing 4-5hrs a day since release.

    LOTS of random crashes. Once you farm some gear, they will nerf everything you farmed before the season.
    Not really worth playing or making a 2nd character, they nerfed the experience gain so it's even more boring to get to end game and takes longer.
    Not worth the money to buy this game, maybe if its released on Game Pass.

    Rubber banding with a brand new gaming PC, issues running the game with friends, a lackluster to non-existent game play, and massive nerfs. Very clear that the devs don't care of play their own game.

    Was a great game. Played it from day 1 until now. The new patch makes the game pointless. There's no end game content and all damage for all classes was reduced with no benefit or increases elsewhere provided.

    Stay away!

    Thank you dev's, for giving us the much needed season 1 patch with the nerfs for sorcerers! We really needed that. Thought my def was waaaaay to strong and my dps was overpowered too. And not only for sorcs you did it all the way across the board. BTW this major sarcasm! Thanks for killing a game with nerfs and not listening to your player base. Could of used a lot of buffs this season,Thank you dev's, for giving us the much needed season 1 patch with the nerfs for sorcerers! We really needed that.

    Version 1.1 ruined the game. It just isn’t fun anymore. Greedy woods. Better things to play.

    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.
