    Blizzard is out if touch with its player base. A once great company and has gone for the greed option like so many before them.
    The latest patch is disgusting and brings no joy to the game.

No quality of life upgrades, especially the #1 complaint which is Storage. Need a company overhaul the incompetence is staggering! Horrible treatment toward a fanbase that spent 70-100 dollars already. Sad Expand

    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.

But a class that was just obviously absolutely hated by the devs. I dropped that character after slogging to level 70 and rerolled a necro. 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!

All the user helpful things like gear sets, increased bank space, and quick teleports are nowhere to be seen. They give us a Mount but it is useless.

    To top it all off, they would rather you take more time leveling. Seasons are only 3 months, for a casual player, noone would EVER level to max in that time. Leveling up is the most boring aspect to any Diablo game! We just want to get to end game, so we can work on loot and building character power. D4 Fails as a ARPG!!

    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.

    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

Its initial release was relatively flawless, and the game was seemingly well-balanced. 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

    They've destroyed almost everyones will and motivation (including mine) to play Diablo IV. Patch 1.1 should've existed out of QoL and/or harder content such as torment 5, 6, or above.
    But instead they nerfed the classes into oblivion where as the sorcerer is not even playable anymore.
    Blizzard as a company is out of touch, and has lost complete sense of feel or connection with the playerbase.

    Diablo 4 patch 1.1 effectively destroyed any fun left in this pile of garbage. Also having to create a new character for season 1 was a bad decision so close to release. Should have started in season 2 if at all. Blizzard is just a former shell of itself. Actual working adults are not going to spend 200+ hours on each season for this trash.

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.

    Never played a Diablo title before so this was my first go at one, picked a druid because anything that can be a werewolf catches my attention.

    My first issue was at the character selection, like I said I want a druid because of the werewolf mechanic but immediately I was faced with a fat slob of a character model with no ability to change body size. 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 get your **** together.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a game playtester myself, this is a AAA++ title, released for full retail price, that is in reality a beta. I have played enough beta versions, pre-release titles by indie devs to see it plain as day. Do not spend money on this game. Do not support this company, do not support Microshaft/Blizzard/Activision/King. There are shameful business practices in place to milk the consumer of every single dollar & cent possible, with zero shame or remorse. The cash shop was in place on pre-release. IE, myself, someone who paid for the Ultimate Edition, aka I could physically not pay more for the retail price of the game, was not given 100% of the game's content, which was behind a paywall. This is the OnlyFans of video games. More than a bait and switch, there is no fish, no meat. The game itself is dull, boring and uninspiring.

    The story is this: Lilith is back, you chase her around, a **** ton of every potentially interesting NPC dies and leaves, and you go and put Mephisto's soul in a new soul stone you craft. Because Lilith was after him to try to gain power so she could stop the war on Sanctuary. You then go and murder Lilith cuz reasons. My own character is not my own character; they are an NPC added in last minute, in what I would refer to as Lilith the MMO, or Diablo IV beta, take your pick. The story has no good plot to it, I skipped nearly all of it as my own character has nearly zero interactions. You will sit and watch cutscenes that don't involve your own character at all, engage in "dialogue" that your own character barely has any lines for, and then run to kill more meaningless bosses, to go and sit and watch other NPC's chat.

    This is by far, the worst video game I have ever played. Items are bad, loot is bad, voice acting is bad, music is bad. The art is amazing...but I can't tell where my character needs to walk, as I can't make out a door from a wall.

    The game itself is not fun. My own motto for a slogan for it would be, "I can't keep from putting it down!" You will have 99% boredom playing alone. The forced multiplayer is a giant detractor for me. You will have kids running up to you, spamming the voice emotes, ruining your immersion. Speaking of, your own hero will never feel as such. Just another generic adventurer, dashing around town to try to scrap maybe an ounce more power out of the **** gear you have found. As the game also has leveled enemies. So you will always face the exact same level as your own, you never feel strong, or powerful. There is no going back to farm a previous zone or region, to possibly get new items for a new character or new build you might want to try. You can get say, x1 item for something new, hope to try a build around that & miserably fail.

    This game is bad, bad beyond words, bad beyond comprehension. As a writer I can't think of any more blistering, scathing, deep seated rage & anger I've felt while in a game before, at having played this pile of trash. I've been called slurs in WoW that had less negative impact on me than this game experience has had on me, overall. From playing both betas, which were just server stress tests, with carrots of cosmetic items to get people to get playing the game initially. To the first x2 hours in game, dying, and realizing I had zero interest in even starting over again, no desire to play the Zero FunTM beginning of the game again. Where your hero is duped into helping some villagers, poisoned and is ready to be sacrificed to Lilith, when you have blood petals poured down your throat, which you puke up shortly after, but seems to really do nothing at all story wise after. Your own "character" is only important to the story, as a fact because they had an interaction w/ Blizzard's version of their own, "fan favorite" NPC in the franchise. There is barely a mention of Diablo, at all, in this entire Diablo game.

    I can not strongly enough express my boredom in playing this game. it is horrible, if there was ever a game that was an Anti-Diablo 2, as fun and a masterpiece as that was, this game is it. It is anti-fun mechanics on top of boring gameplay on top of bland music, dull, lifeless world and no content. It's a cash grab, not a business model. It is not, "just the way things are." I paid for an early release of the video game, The Forest. As it was from a tiny developer at the time, one who would need revenue to continue a project. This is the exact opposite of Blizzard, now a part of one of literally the largest companies on the planet. The cash shop is beyond ludicrous for its prices, most of which are 1/3 the base cost of the full retail game, for a single set. No cosmetic should cost more than barely a few dollars, for a free game at that. There should never, ever be a cash shop for a game that has a full retail cost.

    My zero score does not feel strong enough; if I could I'd rate it -10. The worst video game ever.

    There's no reason not to add keyboard and mouse support.
    All devs care is to force player to grin longer to please executives
    It's not the old Diablo series anymore,
    The dark pattern they use to trick player redeeming battle pass is simple unacceptable

    I have been a die-hard diablo fan for years since Diablo 2, played a lot of D2 and D3. So I was really excited to play D4 (I got the game both on PC and Xbox).
    So far D4 has been the least engaging out of all of the diablo series. Clunky gameplay, unrewarding progression, no attainable chase items.

    Just shows how little corporations care about their fans. From terrible updates to screwing you over with pricey battle passes(and currently useless), shows the same level of greed that has been getting worse for many franchises. Blizzard has failed their fan base with their greed and allowed a poor product to be released. Until they rectify this, it gets a poor score from me.

    Blizzard knows what they want to make this game great, but have no idea how to do so. Their philosophy and actual implementation are worlds a parts.

    Season 1 is terrible, you don't feel that you are significantly stronger than in the eternal realm. Will wait a few seasons and then see if they can turn it around.

    D3 is objectively a better experience in 2023 Shoulda made an offline diablo experience with multiplayer options gg noobs

    We will not be developing an endgame, we will just nerf the classes and reduce the experience gained. And we will also sell the battle pass without confirmation.
    Oh yes, we will also change the balance in each patch.
    It's not an AAA game, it's a beta test for 70 bucks.
    All I can say is "Blizzard, play this **** yourself" :)

I also don’t care for fetching and playing a f****** sleep paralysis simulator by back tracking pretty much 60 percent of the time I’m in the dungeon because the map is undiscovered every time I do the same exact dungeon. This game was only fun the first time I played it. The first time…. This game is boring as h***. 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. No set items, boring aspects which are pretty much subject to nerfs if they are decent, this game genuinely needs more endgame content. Lacking in almost every Diablo department, I just can’t help but cringe at this title. 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.
