    Sadly wasn't what I anticipated at all, fell for the marketing and social media hype by the PR companies. Comparatively to it's own predecessors no items, end game, or social aspects minus a few superficial ones despite forced online play.

    No other options, as to play only online with disconnects, that is gave me negative experience. It's awful. If I wasn't a fan of diablo, I would gladely put 1*

    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

The thrill of the loot cycle was palpable, and the intricate skill trees provided numerous possibilities for character customization. The game boasts intriguing exploration elements and the dungeons are nothing short of entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed it for a good 40 to 50 hours.

    Had I based my review solely on that initial experience, Diablo 4 would effortlessly earn a 9 out of 10 from me. However, it's crucial to remember that this is a "game as a service," and needs to be evaluated in that light. Regrettably, once Blizzard assimilated player feedback, they severely nerfed many of the game mechanics I cherished. There's merit to the argument that these changes might balance the game, ensuring players don't effortlessly coast through without any genuine challenges. While I echo this sentiment, Blizzard's adjustments felt overly harsh. A more measured approach would've been appreciated.

    Now, addressing the seasonal content: it's currently lackluster, often feeling like a repetitive grind with the occasional new quest and gear thrown in. I'm a fan of the cosmetics in their battle pass; it's refreshing to have a plethora of aesthetic items up for grabs. Yet, the content should be sufficiently compelling to make players want to invest in a battle pass in the first place.

    This review reflects my impressions during season 1. I remain hopeful for brighter days ahead for Diablo 4.    … Expand

    almost nothing new
    the story is much wors than D2 or even D3

    -2 (from 5) because a level 100 can attack a level 76, maybe below) on below on PvP

    Just really amazing and through game. When I start playing a game , I want to be throughly engaged for as many hours as dollars spent. 70 $ means I want 70 hours. I have almost 4 weeks of playing time. It’s just fun. The graphics are amazing. All the classes are different and fun in their own way (except necro). One of my favorite games of all time and it’s my first Diablo.

End game, as everyone has noted, is a big, boring grind - my seasonal character is sitting at level 98 and I can’t be bothered toiling out the last two.

    Now, a lot of people have thrown a tantrum and scored this game way lower than what’s reasonable. I get it, they got their feelings hurt and want to hurt back. But this is not a zero game. It has it’s good moments, there’s just not enough of them.

    Un maravilloso juego que perfecciona las mecánicas, con una historia atrapante, con un mapa variado en ambientes y mejora el online. Es todo lo que se esperaba de la saga y mas. Sin embargo, se ve lastrado por su monetización tanto del pase como de su tienda de cosméticos que deberían estar incluidos en el juego base o al menos como premios de eventos internos de la comunidad.

    I'd give the game a 5/10 on launch. Went downhill in season 1. Once you hit level 80 and upgrade a few pieces of gear it's possible to spend 50 hours without one single upgrade.

    Pros: Great characters build setting, new game but mixed with old school Hack & Slash, Best story-lines in this franchise. Amazing atmosphere.
    Cons: Endgame content doesn't appear to me. Druid's class took too slow to level up.

    Massively disappointed by the newest diablo release. No incentives to continue playing as soon as you finish the rather uninspired campaign.

    The story and side quests are fantastic, and the big set-piece cutscenes are stunning. The story is delivered perfectly and it does a much better job at keeping you interested than Diablo 3 did. The side mission stories are also interesting and varied, and provide some useful rewards. I cannot fault the story or quest design at all.
    The end game is fun, but the game lacks the feeling of infinite progression and constant competition that used to be available in Diablo 3. Providing a never ending levelling system and a proper competitive aspect is the one thing I am hoping for from Blizzard as the current seasonal content lacks a real hook to keep you invested in it and that is why I deducted a point from my score.
    The developers have so far brought out many patches that have really improved the overall experience and have promised a lot more in the future.

    Diablo IV falls short of expectations, as its gameplay quickly becomes repetitive and lacks the engaging elements that make the series enjoyable. The game's mechanics feel stagnant, resulting in a monotonous experience that fails to captivate players.

Si fuese de otra gente pues aún dirías mira, para cuando esté barato en Steam, pero como es Blizzard ni Steam ni barato ni nada, ha salido mal.
    Hubo una época que Blizzard casi presumía de que por cada juego que sacaban habían cancelado unos cuantos, porque sólo querían lo mejor y blablabla. Este juego, el remake de Warcraft 3 y lo de Overwatch 2 demuestran que esa Blizzard ya no existe.
    Tengo esperanzas que algún día arreglen Diablo IV, volver a instalar el juego y volver a la rutina de jugar un porrón de horas cada temporada que saquen, pero está tan lejos de ese punto y los antecedentes de Blizzard estan tan claros que a mi me da que esto va a quedar así. Y ya está.

However, we all know that the end of the campaign is where these types of games should just be beginning.

    To keep it brief I'm just gonna list out things I thought about while playing:

    -Cooldowns are way too long I'd much rather all my abilities be weaker but I could use them more often.

    -More abilities should interact with each other in interesting ways. Best example I can think of is druid bear charging into a crowd and using pulverize in a big group.

    -I wish at any given moment there was like 4 times the amount of enemies on screen

    -Enemies leveling up with you not only makes the game feel super repetitive, but also makes leveling up seem incredibly useless

    -Hard crowd control happens way too often and lasts way too long. There are no clear visible debuff icons telling you what you're afflicted with and for how long.

    -Hardcore characters dying when a disconnect from the server occurs is dumb as hell. Who cares if people abuse it? It's a PvE game. Also when you put a random **** you enemy in the game like the butcher then give people no escape from it. Making a hardcore character seems like a test of patience and luck rather than skill.

    -Modifiers being tied to legendary gear is cool, but when the amount of modifiers to your abilities in the skill tree is so low it makes it frustrating to grind out what you need just for your build to work. Abilities and skill tree in general needs a rework.

    -Servers are ****ed

    All that being said, I had fun with the game. But the second I hit the end game and realized how tedious it would be, how many problems were adding up, and how truly little endgame there was, I just decided it'd be better to move on. Hopefully some of this stuff gets fixed and they give me a reason to come back.    … Expand

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.

    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.    … 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.
