    This game was released unfinished, unbalanced, full of bugs, and severely underwhelming for a AAA game company who already has experience in ARPG's.

    Finished the campaign. Haven't really logged back into the game after this. Nothing really keeps me playing. It's just a grind. And they want you to pay more money for passes and store items. My time is best spent elsewhere.

    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. Shame on Blizzard for making a great franchise so incredibly boring! It should be mandatory that everyone working on this game should have to play Diablo 1-3 first.

Fixing the gear to level 80 so that you can "share" with alts is silly. There is no room in storage and no will to play a 2nd character at the same time.

    What an epic failure. I'm playing another half level to get to 100 and then retiring. I feel like playing three more than four.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was enjoying the game. Have over 550 hours. But the loot scaling after level 75 is useless, monsters get stronger but you don't. Now after the season 1 patch... it's so terrible and my characters feel way weaker that for the 1st time since release i didn't even feel like playing yesterday and won't be buying a battle pass because of the patch.… Expand

We were by far the weakest class and very few high level people were playing it, but I spent a lot of time getting a unique build together that used high Cool Down Reduction and I had hope that survivability would improve for Sorc in this patch.

    Holy Hell what a shock. I've lost confidence that the developers know what they're doing. They made the weakest class MUCH weaker and nerfed CDR into oblivion. My build just.... doesn't even work anymore. And many other builds were drastically hurt by the nerfing of most major core properties. Blizzard: Fix this if you want any kind of a player base going forward. Releasing this disastrous patch two days before the first season has to be one of the most boneheaded things I've seen in gaming for at least five years. Awful awful stuff.    … 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

They are making very fundamental changes that impact the base game (aka Eternal Realm) because "seasons". Seasons have more microtransactions built in, so it seems they're trying to funnel people into microtransactions content by making the base game not fun anymore.

    To out things in perspective, I main a Sorcerer despite it being arguably the most underpowered class in balance. They don't compare to the damage of any other class, and to make matters worse, their survivability is abysmal in comparison. Blizzard claims to be listening to the community, yet they made survivability MUCH worse with the most recent patch while also nerfing damage despite the fact that the community has outlined in detail what's wrong with the class (and how to fix it).

    They are also IMMEDIATELY fixing issues that benefit players but holding off on fixing issues that work against players. All the while, they claim to be listening to the feedback... but then not actually following through with any of what is brought up. During the last livestream before this patch, they kept saying that they don't like doing nerfs and "we think you'll be happy with the patch, it's really got a lot in it!". Weird that all the buffs were in direct conflict to the nerfs, and the net result was big losses in power.

    This wouldn't be so problematic if they were also giving us the option to refund things like skill points for free since they're making massive changes, but they're not. They're seemingly doing what we all feared: Looking at the numbers from a profit perspective instead of fun perspective. Horrible.    … Expand

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

    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.
