Changes made this match set me back from a time investment stand point, needless time sink, and walk back of fun stick. Nightly dungeon crawl went from 2-3 a night, to 1, I don't have any more time to dedicate to this game. Seem like season 1 changes were built to punish the 1% min/max players at the expense of the 99%. I'm probably putting this down for BG3 launching in august as opposed to rolling up a S1 character.… Expand

    Boring endgame, Boring Season Content, bad mob density, feeling of progression is lost… instead of improving the endgame Blizzard just slows the progression. Latest patch is a joke…from goty to unplayable before Season 1 even starts

    Sound the dread alarm for our friend Diablo was killed by the very studio who created it. And instead of listening to fan feedback the devs are just going to dig in their heels and get combative with the very folks who keep their game alive by playing it. What a damn joke of a studio Blizzard has become.

    Unfinished game. Blizzard decided to nerf everything because players were completing the campaign and material too quickly. No effort to improve other classes or weak builds, just nerfing skills and items. You wake up and your character does 40% of the damage you used to, what a joke. I would steer away and look for games such as baldur's gate 3.

    Here’s the issue you dumb apes, people aren’t lab rats. The CEOs of these gaming companies may be low IQed filth but the majority of your player base knows when their time is being wasted.

    The July 18, 2023 patch 1.1 had zero, none, zilch, nada, sh!t, QOL improvements and simply made the game an unenjoyable grind. The satisfaction of playing this game has dropped across the board - Google it. Diablo IV players are livid across Reddit, Twitter, etc. - as we should be. I would not recommend this game in it's current state.

If you are looking for a new Action rpg, I would suggest playing Path of exile, Project Diablo 2 (fan mod that is easy to install), or simply go back to playing Diablo 3.

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.

    I pre-ordered this expecting it to be at least as polished as Diablo 3. What a mistake. They took all the best elements of Diablo out as if they have learned nothing from the previous games.

    Blizz is trying to make and Loot based ARPG MMO, without rewarding loot system. An ARPG without action. A MMO without a social system.

    The patch today was a steaming pile. I think most people would agree with that. Nerfs across the board never sit well with gamers, especially in ARPG's. But I don't think they understand how "on the fence" most people already were.

    As more and more people reached the end game and realized how truly lacking in depth this game really is, the tone amongst Reddit, Twitter, Discord, and    The patch today was a steaming pile. I think most people would agree with that. Nerfs across the board never sit well with gamers, especially in ARPG's. But I don't think they understand how "on the fence" most people already were.

    As more and more people reached the end game and realized how truly lacking in depth this game really is, the tone amongst Reddit, Twitter, Discord, and Forums started to shift. That was two weeks ago.

    The fact is, people are getting bored. This is an ACTION RPG with slow-paced action. It's a LOOT hunter with boring loot. This is an MMO with no social aspects. A dungeon crawler that feels more like a game of fetching the stones and putting them on the pedestals.

    The cracks are starting to show in the end game, and people feel like we're playing a paid Beta, you decide now is the time to drop a patch that **** on every build. What better way to push everyone over the edge than to nerf everything?

    Damage? NERF
    Defense? NERF
    Cooldown? NERF
    XP? NERF
    Power Leveling? NERF
    Helltide? NERF

    Sure, some builds needed to be fixed, but you didn't have to completely gut entire classes while you were at it. But the nerfs are not even the point of this post. I don't even care about them. I'll adapt and overcome, I'm not afraid of a challenge. But this patch made me really think, why play season 1 at all? You didn't address a single one of the NUMEROUS valid complaints about this game.

    6 new uniques? If you think adding 6 new unique items for every 3 month season is an acceptable pace to bring some depth to the sorely lacking itemization in this game, I might as well not play until season 30.

    No leaderboards? No in-game trading with an option for self-found mode? No paragon board reset? No Occultist changes? (Cost or listing possible outcomes) No group finder? No stash tabs?

    Nothing, in fact. Not a single thing to shine a bit of light on this **** sandwich. You made the game slower. Mobs take longer to kill, and yield less xp, and we're now gated to lower world tiers until the "recommended" (now mandatory) levels of 50 for WT3 and 70 for WT4.

    So on Thursday, we're expected to start over, but this time it's all slower, less fun, time & experience gated. And all to get to the end and realize what an unfinished and lacking game this really is. Again. Still.

    Maybe if you spend less time trying to "balance" a SINGLE PLAYER PVE GAME WHERE NOBODY CARES ABOUT BALANCE, and more time adding things that are actually fun and immersive, you might sell more battle passes and cosmetics.

    What an absolute joke.    … Expand

    Let me give you the rundown of positives and negatives. Positives - You don’t play diablo for the story, but this diablo has an awesome story that I did not expect to be this good. The cutscenes go HARD. I was very impressed with the story this time around. - The voice acting. It is superb especially    This is the best diablo.

    Positives
    - You don’t play diablo for the story, but this diablo has an awesome story that I did not expect to be this good. The cutscenes go HARD. I was very impressed with the story this time around.
    - The voice acting. It is superb especially Lilith and Lorath.
    - Map: the map is massive and diverse. Many different Biomes. The over world events are all diverse and different, never repetitive. The strongholds are a blast and each have their own mechanics and stories. So much to find and do.
    - Runs at a smooth 60fps on series X, and the graphics look stellar. Very next gen feeling game despite being top down.
    - Gameplay: this is why you are here and let me tell you it is the best it has ever been in a ARPG. Addictive, fun, satisfying, and challenging!
    - Character progression and builds: its amazing. I am addicted. It is such a deep rpg. Each class is so different I will never hit the bottom. So mucch depth. Build lovers this is your safe space.
    - quality of life stuff: you can respec whenever with little to no penalty, you can teleport in and out of any place including dungeons to sell loot etc with ease, short load times, and without losing progress. - co-op is a blast. I played about half the campaign with a friend and it is seamless and a blast!

    Negatives
    The quest markers mess up sometimes. Thats pretty much it. I know many had connection issues but I have never had a single connectivity issue. I get into the game immediately, and have never disconnected or even had much lag. I think its a wifi issue not a diablo issue people are having.

    Also the micro transactions are nothing. All cosmetic based, I haven’t even had to look at them. Not bad at all. So far this is my game of the year for 2023! Get it now!    … Expand

    Server lag. Every. Single. Day. Horses break the game. If you have a real job and life. They expect you to play around 6 hours a day. Not sure how long seasons last but. This game has already seen a dip in population. If they do nothing. It will become a dead game. They admit problems in their developer streams. Then don’t actually fix it and change the subject. It’s very shady.

    Overall it's a pretty good game but my expectations were not met.

    The story is well made and the gameplay is fun. During your campaign playthrough the loot is interesting, and you'll get slowly more and more options to tune your character to your liking. My main gripe with Diablo IV is it's endgame. I'm level 83 but I'm not sure if I'll make it to 100. The dungeons are repetitive and    Overall it's a pretty good game but my expectations were not met.

    My main gripe with Diablo IV is it's endgame. I'm level 83 but I'm not sure if I'll make it to 100. The dungeons are repetitive and 99.9% of the loot is pure trash. Parts of my gear are 10 levels below but still better than anything I find now. I see myself looking through yellow items because they're often better and cheaper to upgrade than legendary or unique items. No set items so far.

    Season 1 sounds interesting tho. Looking forward to try a new character.

    Overall I would give it an 8 for casual play. However if you're looking forward to mainly grind the endgame then my score would be only a 5.    … Expand

    I don't quite understand this massive complaining about Diablo 4. From an objective standpoint, it's the best installment in the series, certainly the most advanced and expansive.

Sure, Diablo 4 has its problems, but let's remember that the game has only been on the market for a month. Diablo 3 was realistically playable only after many months of patches and fixes. Path of Exile, which is considered a holy grail for some people, has been on the market for 10 years and still has its issues despite such a long time for the game's development. Season 1 hasn't even started, and there are already complaints about the endgame being lackluster. In my opinion, we need to give the developers time and credit.

    As for the argument that it's a waste of money because you lose interest after completing the story, come on, people. The story alone provides dozens of hours of fun if someone doesn't rush through it and takes the time to explore the world. The game is worth the full price for the campaign alone, and the seasons, future updates, and expansions can make it the coolest HC game on the market.    … Expand

Diablo IV is an excellent RPG that will absolutely obliterate your free time. The intricate gameplay and chaotic combat of previous instalments has been refined to near perfection here. Finding new loot in Diablo IV always feels rewarding to me, even in the endgame, and gives the same dopamine rush one would get in Diablo III and Diablo II. The addition of rewarding endgame activities like Nightmare Dungeons and the very fun MMO like Helltide events are bound to keep many playing after the final chapter of the story. The only problems I have with the game lie in its underwhelming PvP arena, and a few somewhat minor quality of life issues and bugs. I absolutely recommend Diablo IV, but maybe get it when it's not $70 USD.… Expand

    Graphics are decent, along with the music and overall sound design. Story is enjoyable for the most part (though personally I found myself siding with the enemy more than the 'good guys' due to occasional poor character development and writing). Combat generally feels good, though there are some negatives I'll get into there later.

    The mediocre:

    Stats and gearing are bloated, but otherwise this is a Diablo game, grind for better gear so you can grind for better gear, ad nauseum. If you like this, the game will be right up your alley, as you are always on the hunt for an upgrade for your character and it feels great to find the items you've been after. If you don't, no amount of hype will change that this game is designed for you to spend hundreds or thousands or hours to perfect your character.

    The end-game before Season 1 can hardly be called an end-game. There are roughly 4 activities to partake in after finishing the story, and perhaps two of them are rewarding enough to bother with. I won't spoil what those activities are, but let's just say that all involve killing monsters or bosses and the rewards for some things are NOT worth your time, which leaves you with only two real things to bother doing with your time if you want to progress your character.

    The bad:

    The horse. What the actual heck.... One of the most poorly-designed modes of transport in any game within the past ten years. If you've ever ridden a skateboard on nice smooth concrete, and managed to run over a small pebble at speed, you will know exactly what it feels like to use this mount. It collides with everything, be it person, bush, or single pixel of the corner you were attempting to navigate around. It has no intelligent pathing, and will try to move to your cursor, even it means screeching to an instant halt on a corner that you cut too narrowly. Need to dismount quickly to pick up an item, or climb up one of the many cliffs placed in your way? Well, now you get to wait 10 seconds before you can use the horse again. I appreciate that we can move across the map more quickly with the horse, but boy does it feel absolutely terrible to use.

    The price. Blizzard expects you to pay a premium for this AAA title, but they are also treating it similarly to lower-priced or free games with paid seasonal content and battle-passes. I get it, profits are king, but it feels bad to pay full price for a game and then be expected to pump more money in every few months. You can't buy something from the shop for cash. Like many games, you are forced to buy in-game currency which 'conveniently' is purchased in amounts less than or greater than the 'cost' of digital goods in game. So, you are either forced to buy multiple smaller packages (at less discount) to buy your item, or you are forced to overspend on a larger package, where you will ultimately have left-over currency that can't be used to buy any items without spending additional money. Exploiting human psychology for profits is a sad look, and though I won't be purchasing anything from the in-game store, it still leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

    As it stands, the game is playable. Some may really enjoy it. Unfortunately, I'm in the low 80s on my main character now and I'm already bored to death. Perhaps Season 1 will bring some new life into the game, but as it stands now I can't give D4 much more than a 5/10. Boooooring.    … Expand

    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.

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

    Great the few first hours, it quickly becomes boring. You spent more time travelling than fighting monsters, except for the campaign, bosses are not interesting.

    In previous games you were able to chain floors, here when you finish a dungeon you have to travel to the next one, so slow paced.

    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.

    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 made it to level 84 with my Sorc. I've finished most of the dungeons, and maps, and unlocked most of the transmogs. To give you an idea of my progress. I have 4 Paragon boards which are all socketed with level 15 glyphs.

    Let's start from the top.

    Presentation: 10/10 : They nailed the atmosphere, lore, music, art, and the general sense of what Sanctuary is.

    Graphics: 10/10 : It has the perfect style of graphics for a Diablo game. Much better than Diablo 3's whimsical theme. Diablo 4 Is gritty, dark, gory, and violent, but also vibrant where it counts. Diablo 2 had color where it mattered. This game runs great. I have a 3060 and play on 4k which is incredible for a game this size with as many particle effects as it has on-screen

    Story: 10/10 : I was blown away by how engaging the story is. Truly. I rarely pay attention to any parts of the story in a Diablo game. Obviously, I knew Deckard Cain and the Dark Wanderer, how the heroes from Diablo 1 all died in 2 etc etc. I knew about Sanctuary, Heaven and Hell but didn't have the full picture of things until this game. Diablo IV really brings the entire lore of Sanctuary together, embraces it, and makes it engaging. I can't wait for the DLC and to see Diablo himself, Mephisto and possibly the Paladin.

    Gameplay: 10/10 : The combat is super fluid, the worlds are incredibly vast, I really really love the verticality of it all. This is the first isometric RPG that actually makes you feel like you're in a world. Truly. You can go up to the highest mountain, look off and see the area below. It's not foreground or background, it's an actual fully built-out world. Massive castles, dungeons, towns and they are all existing.

    Here is where the nit-pick stuff comes in. These concerns I don't consider as part of the game. These are bonuses or sprinkle son the cupcake. The 50+ hours I played of this game was a 10/10 - so to me - the game is a 10/10. Most games don't even last that long.

    End Game : Hardcore ARPG mechanics : Itemization : QoL

    Very mixed. Everyone wants Diablo to be their game because the Franchise has been around for so long. We all feel like a part of it. SO I understand everyone has their wants, desires, and feedback for these important end-game mechanics.

    I'm not going to repeat the same things over and over and over. It's a Vanilla Diablo 4. Vanilla Diablo 2 was really bad, Vanilla Diablo 3 was also extremely bad. So far, Diablo 4 has had the best launch and end game out of all the Diablo games.

    Sure after 2-5 years Diablo 2 and 3 were great. Diablo 4 is only weeks old. I'm not going to judge it against games that have been out for decades...

    Right now. I am loving the item, item choices, and affixes, and I have enjoyed getting to level 85. The Paragon system is extremely interesting to me and I find myself strategizing over it quite often.

    There is no question though I'd have to rate Post 80 gameplay at a 5/10 Extremely average. I know in a year or 2, it will be an easy 8/10. It's missing a ton of Quality of life features. That's the biggest problem.

    You will easily enjoy this game up to level 80 and you will enjoy Season 1. The end-game is going to take time to perfect. However, you will still enjoy it. I'm playing right now.    … Expand

    After 80 hours, and after starting a second character, the motivation is gone, and I need new content and more flexible character building.

    TL;DR I liked Diablo 3 and Path of Exile more. # Gameplay Hitfeedback is not that satisfying. Ability variety is less than in previously mentioned games. Levelling was exciting in Diablo 3, each level gave you something new to try. In Diablo 4,    After 80 hours, and after starting a second character, the motivation is gone, and I need new content and more flexible character building.

    TL;DR I liked Diablo 3 and Path of Exile more.

    # Gameplay
    Hitfeedback is not that satisfying. Ability variety is less than in previously mentioned games.
    Levelling was exciting in Diablo 3, each level gave you something new to try. In Diablo 4, you unlock a section where you can try 4-5 Skills, where only one skill may be fun to use. Then you have to grind too long with levelling multiple levels, to unlock the next skill set to try new skills. The more you level, the longer it takes to unlock the next set.
    You can't observe how your Experience bar goes up, it will be covered by an annoying status information. In Diablo 3, it was exciting to see that bar going up, depending on the amount of kills, and difficulty.
    For looting, it is missing a feature from Diablo 3, which would indicate whether the loot would increase a stat or not. Now, you have to loot, go to menu, navigate to the item, then decide what to do with it.
    Bosses are very bullet spongy, and become monotonous quickly, you will see when doing dungeons. I reduced the difficulty and renounced Experience boost, just to get over with this a bit faster. Sometimes it becomes a pure endurance minigame, seeing the health bar of the boss going down so slowly, while repeating the same pattern.
    Bosses have too easy mechanics. Path of Exile bosses are designed better.
    Elites of different races share combat patterns, and also behave very predictable after having fought a few of them. If I see one more jump-smash attack of an elite, I will scream.
    When you have found your favourite skill set from the skill tree, that’s it. There is not much change for the skills on how they behave. The only thing that changes with those endgame boards, are a few more attribute points here, a few more % damage there. Not like in Path of Exile, where you can significantly modify the behaviour of skills, also in the endgame.
    I also started a second character, and it's still the same feeling, just with other skills. In Path of Exile, you can have all those skills with just one character.
    One ultimate skill from the bow class (arrow rain), is a standard skill in Path of Exile.
    It’s laborious to change the world level. In Diablo 3 you could switch fluently between world levels, right from the pause/character menu.
    On level 51, I was still waiting for the feeling which Diablo 3 and Path of Exile gave me.
    It becomes extremely monotonous, when doing map completion, riding from A to B, just to experience the same again and again. Enemies become monotonous. Sometimes, the enemy just walks around you, sticking on you.
    After unlocking the third, and last interesting endgame board, and unlocking the legendary nodes on all three, I thought “so.. that’s it”?
    My next goal should be unlocking world level 4. But that means I have to grind until lv 70 with the same monotonous gameplay. No thanks.
    I miss the sandboxiness of Path of Exile, where I can increase the attack speed almost on my wish, and I miss the combat feeling of both Path of Exile and Diablo 3.

    # World
    Main story & atmosphere, good. Impressively good (italian) voice acting.
    Shared world stuff just distracts, feels cheap like a Lost Ark clone.
    When I was lv 45, the loot in the main story was for lv 35, even if mission level was scaled to my level.
    World boss, almost no hit feedback, and also just a bullet sponge with repetitive and predictable behaviour.
    Riding from A to B is a pure minimap minigame, typical open-world problem.
    Secondary missions have very much spoken dialogues, also with many optional dialogues. I find, the game designer(s) should have put more resources into the gameplay. I only did secondary missions, for map completion, for unlocking endgame points. I skipped all secondary mission dialogues, and did not do one more secondary mission, after unlocking all map rewards. The stories of secondary missions were standard secondary stuff.

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

Le loot tue le loot, un loot ca se mérite un minimum et ce diablo 4 est particulièrement réglé à ce niveau.

    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!

    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.

    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 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.
