However, I have played from early release until now and likely wont be playing any longer. The game does have positive aspects. Its visuals are beautiful and the story was well told. 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.

    TLDR; I do not recommend this game in its current state. The ratio of enjoyment to frustration is too high.    … Expand

    -I like the concept of the upgrading weapons and adding aspects to gear. -I was enjoying the playthrough, side missions and strong holds, and dungeons were cool. -The graphics and cut scenes are beautiful. -I did enjoy plowing through big packs of monsters and helping friends progress through the game.
    - 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.

    I have more to say but will leave it there.    … 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

    My first day of the game was fine, played an entire session no disconnects or lag at all. I managed to reach the last quest of campaign and then got booted out three times in a row as I was about to finish the quest.

I managed to reach the last quest of campaign and then got booted out three times in a row as I was about to finish the quest.

    Now upon hitting level 50 it seems as though the game is just determined to prevent me from actually finishing a single quest. I get disconnected every single time I get to the last portion of boss health or kill the last enemy, lag out and simply do not get the reward. This would be fine, I can live with side quests and the like as their rewards are menial anyway.

    But how, after several months of testing, can there still be a game breaking bug in the capstone dungeon to allow the player to progress to past veteran tier? Of the 10 attempts at this dungeon before contemplating throwing the console and controller out the window, my first 4 saw the boss de-spawn as he hit the last quarter of health bar, no way to exit the instance besides disconnecting from the server and relaunching the game.

    The remaining attempts saw me make it to the boss 5 out of 6 times, only to just flat out be disconnected after a 5 second freeze.

    Again, if this were checkpointed like all the other campaign quests then this wouldn't be as much of an issue. However, you need to restart the entire instance, along with the pre-boss each time, and it is vital to complete to progress the game. Abysmal design from Blizz here, but I don't know why the hell I expected any different, its becoming a track record for them.

    I'm still finding rare items more powerful than unique items, and since i can't progress my world tier I guess I'll continue to do so... Deep customisation? Crunchy visceral combat that you can feel? I can't believe I bought into all that nonsense. Game launches without set items. Quite frankly I don't expect to pay £70 for a game to still be beta testing it post release. I have no idea why this trend of releasing broken games that are required to be constantly online, yet consistently fail to do so, has taken off in recent years, but if it continues in this fashion then its the beginning of the end for gaming.

    I cannot recommend this game in its current state and have no intentions of buying any Blizz games at launch again, ever.    … Expand

    Early acess 02/06/23 : minor bugs, servers were working pretty well. I progress through the campaign with my friends and it went pretty well.But once we achieved endgame features, there's a lot of bugs.
    Nightmare dungeons : bugged. You can't go in with friends because you will be desynchronised 1 dungeon out of 2.
    Helltide : unplayable with lags. you'll die everytime you take a lag, and you'll lose your components.

    Release date 06/06/23 : lags everytime. Permanent lags, so totally unplayable endgame features

    08/06/23 22h30 GMT+1 : Crash server. Can't play. Only 2 days since release.

    Enough with server problems. There's also class balance problems. Barbarian is Godlike, rogue is too squishy (gets one shotted by almost everything), necromancer has literraly 0 mobility, druid is unkillable, and sorcerer is the only balanced class.

    Let's talk about campaign : Act 1, 2, 3 ,4 and 5 are Star Wars Disney tier. Act 6 is a real masterpiece.
    Campaign boss fights are for retarded ppl. they have 0 mechanics, they just have a ton of hp.
    Only Lilith have a real boss fight. And Elias after the campaign will have a real boss fight too.

    The Artistic Direction is perfect. that's why i give them 1 point.
    Sound Design is good, but Lost Ark is better at it.

    There's a lack of features in the UI. We can't see other player's profile. there's no statistics, can't watch playtime, there's no ladder.
    There's no search bar for items in the stash. Gems take too much space

    And there's a ton of other bugs, like sometimes you can't use any ability or dash. Sometimes the horse's pathfinding will totally bug. Cinematics will sometimes bug when you play with friends, only 1 in the group will the dialogues / cinematics.

    There's no diversity in the bestiary and the dungeon bosses or in the decorations. All monsters are recycled with different color, and they are spread all over the entire map. Dungeons are procedural but you will see always the same monsters in them.
    Dungeon Bosses are catastrophic. Distant / Mage bosses are retarded, they do no damage so you can just burst them with any build.
    Melee Bosses are a nightmare, they run faster than you, have an attack speed higher than the light speed. So you almost can't kite them and if you don't play barbarian, druid or sorcerer frost you'll just instant die.

    The gameplay itself is very similar to Diablo immortal, which for a F2P mobile game was adequate - but for a triple A flagship title all I can say is Diablo 4 feels half baked and unpolished.

    The "Skill Tree" is essentially a linear "choose one" skill selector, and the paragon board only gives an illusion of depth and diversity, which seriously detracts from the long term replayability of Diablo 4, which has always been the franchises strength. More than anything however - is that it just wasn't fun, even in the early access beta when everything was new and shiny it just felt like a boring version of any other generic low budget ARPG. I know comparing it to Diablo Immortal might come off as a slur, but it really does feel like the closest analogue in terms of feel and fun, and in some respects I think I liked Diablo Immortal better.

    I'm sad to find that this game fell flat on it's face, as with any other game in the Diablo franchise I was looking forward to many years of at least casual engagement, but I found myself bored, uninterested and just not caring shockingly fast.

    In preparation for this review, I ended up asking myself - would I play this game if it was F2P - and ultimately, no, this isn't worth even my time - I have better games to play, and just touching grass would be a more rewarding experience than spending a couple hours in Diablo 4. Considering this is a full price $70 (minimum) game with already oodles of premium add-ons, micro transactions, battle passes and more - I question how the standards of developers have slipped so far.    … Expand

Since release I have poured more free time than I should have into this game and have been enjoying it. 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

    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.
