Ich will mein ein Charakter stetig ausbauen und Spass haben. Nicht immer wieder von neu anfangen. Blizzard kümmert sich um Dinge die Nutzlos sind anstatt das Spiel zu verbessern und auszubauen. Wenn alle so zufrieden mit Diablo 2 sind warum nicht einfach nachmachen. Weniger Arbeit mehr erfolg. Wir brauchen nichts neues. Altes bewährtes noch besser gemacht reicht. Ade Blizzard    … Expand

    Game was covered by an awesome story and animations but once you dig deep itemization sucks which was supposed to be the heart of any arpg game such as Diablo. It’s true that the old Blizzard is dead. Pre-season was decent 6/10 but from there just down the drain. Will not pre order Blizzard games on the foreseeable future.

    Don't support this terrible company. You will get exploited, playing their purposefully worse game just so their "engagement numbers" are up for the shareholders. Yuck! Avoid this like the plague.

    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.

    They have a lot of resources and make the worst games.

    Not recommend to buy.
    The game wasn't ready.
    Blizzard doesn't listen to the community, doesn't fix the most important issues of the game(stash, lack of end game content, resistances doesn't work).
    Instead they just nerf all the classes.
    Feels like they need at least 1-2 more years for the game to be ready.

    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.

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.

    It seems like n 8 year old was writing the logic behind this.

    Depth of character builds - non existent!
    You have one generator skill, one damage skill, one ultimate, other situational, that is it, you have to always play the same way - generate, then DPS, every single character.

    Visuals are good, but that's about it.
    Story very bleak. Progression is non existent.
    Camera is horrible, druid bear literally occupies half the screen.

    They could've just taken D3, add a noir atmosphere from D2, add some interesting mechanics from existing ARPGs, and that's it, with the popularity of the franchise there was absolutely no chance of failure!

    Instead we have this steaming pile of bs, that will get you bored in several days, once you figure out the builds (2-3) of them for each character.

I would like to give this game a chance and i was looking forward for many months. But anyway: Blizzard. You did a bad job. I am disappointed.

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

    For me personally, the level scaling and campaign which had so much boring walking/traveling from zone to zone is what has made me stop playing it. I would still rate it close to 6.5 or 7 though as objectively it is a good game. Just certain decisions don't mesh with me.

    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!

    The world is HUGE! D3 was really limited and somewhat straight line.
    The graphics are top notch! Much more 'realistic' than cartoony D3.

    However, it is VERY repetitive.... like EVERY GAME IN THIS GENRE.

    One big negative is that you cannot choose your level of play. I really liked that I could increase my difficulty in D3. I also liked that I could decrease when my underpowered character just couldn't go any further.

    Don't buy this game. You won't have a good time. You will find that your character gets weaker as the game progresses. Half the mechanics aren't working as intended, and the other half is boring and oversimplified. The graphics will stutter on almost any setting unless you've got a 40 series GPU.

    Every system in this game is meticulously designed to waste your time in meaningless, unnecessary small ways. The itemization is a joke compared with its contemporaries. So is the story. So is the world, and so are the graphics, for that matter.

    The problems with the game have been evident since the first beta weekend and have been communicated to Blizzard endlessly. They are not interested in resolving them. They'll take easy wins with temporary balance changes that they'll yoink right back from under you when they reckon they've gotten away with it.

    Don't give these bastards any money. They haven't earned any of it. And don't waste your time on this steaming pile when you have fantastic alternatives in PoE (Soon 2) and Last Epoch. Both well designed, player-friendly games with different levels of complexity to appease differing tastes. Put this "game" out of your mind.

    this game gets killed by the SCALING OF THE MONSTERS.
    here are some Pros and Cons.

    Pro:
    - big open world
    - some nice additions to that openworld like the lilith altars , a lot of sidequests, some of them are pretty good story wise
    - mainstory is pretty nice

    Cons:
    - BIGGEST MINUS IS THAT EVERYTHING SCALES TO YOUR LEVEL/POWER SO IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE TO GET STRONGER, CUZ THEY WILL BEAT YOU THE SAME WAY THEY DID BEFORE YOU GOT YOUR AWESOME LEGENDARY WHICH IS LIKE 20 LVLS ABOVE THE OLD ONE
    - Absolutely not rewarding endgame
    - Legendaries suck , you can get the same legendary stats on any kind of item, so its just the icon/looks which is different
    - there are actually only a few legendary stats which are useable cuz most classes have like one good build which is recommended or actually does some damage
    - skills are super boring, and by boring i mean super boring, imagine throwing bonespears as a necromancer because its your strongest hitting skill and spamming the basic bone attack skill 10 times because your bonespear takes like 20-30% of your ressources
    - the attack animations are bad, the game looks actually ugly too, for a next gen game it failed. look at Lost Ark , they managed everything and that game is like 5 years old
    - they could have build some LFG function into it, but there isnt any
    - The Death of two big names... one killed by a furniture, the other one got skewered from the back.. never seen a more stupid deathscene like this in any game before
    - it took me like 30 hours or so or probably more to unlock the damn horse, thats probably their way of dragging the story... you can imagine how annoying that is right?
    - every 20 mins, half of your inventory will be filled with gems... the game is full of backtracking elements which will also make your life in sanctuario harder, harder than lilith could do

    i regret paying so much money for this, looks like critics review are also not reliable enough anymore. only pay/play if you want to experience the gameplay and want to experiment a little bit. because after like lvl 50 all you will do is either 100% the whole map AC style or just grind the same stuff for the 10000th time till you quit and i can tell you that grinding Diablo 4 is no fun, Diablo 3 was atleast enjoyable , flying through the dungeons, also having more challenging dungeons available at any time. they had enough time and also enough money to make tis a big game. i hated them back on diablo 3 release for their bad server management, now i will hate them for effing up a game gameplay wise, which is impossible to fix. never going to buy another diablo game again, maybe if its on sale for 5 bucks    … Expand

After getting to level 22 and realizing I’ll never gain an edge and get to a point where it will be fun, I just stopped. I’m done. I was so excited and looking forward to v4, that I even went out and bought a brand new Xbox X series and the high end version of the game ($600 for both), all for nothing.… Expand

    The only thing worse than this disappointment, is the r/DiabloIV fan base .

    Very disappointed with the game. I paid a lot of money for the Ultimate Edition, but I couldn't play the promised early access. It's unforgivable.

    After reaching the last difficulty level and getting bored of the constantly breaking core gameplay loop, the game seems like a rushed moneygrab. I am fine with nerfs and imbalances this early in the life cycle but releasing a Diablo game (or an ARPG) without any kind of meaningful "endgame" is definitely a ripoff. Especially for 70 usd.

    You will regret buying Diablo 4. It is a woeful disgrace to it's predecessors. It is a shameful money grab by Blizzard that is destroying the reputation they built on great games of the past.

AndYou will regret buying Diablo 4. It is a woeful disgrace to it's predecessors. It is a shameful money grab by Blizzard that is destroying the reputation they built on great games of the past. You will realise that it sucks but you may not realise soon enough. The game constantly crashes. The servers are regularly going down. When they are up the lag spikes make the game unplayable. And if the game crashes your hardcore character will die, your scroll of escape will not work as stated and blizzard will tell you it's your fault and to reset your modem. If you play more than two yours Blizzard you will not give you a refund. If you do buy it set a timer for 1:50 minutes. When it goes off realise it is all downhill from here and you still have a chance to make the right decision and get an immediate refund. If you play for more than two hours Blizzard's obnoxious customer service team will tell you you have no recourse, the slew of bugs errors and crashes are your fault and you now proudly own it for life. Charge back via credit card is the only sensible recourse. In Australia you can state that the game is "not fit for purpose" (i.e. excessively crashes, excessively buggy and crippling server lag/wait times) invoke the Australian Consumer Law and get your money back that way. The smartest and most sensible choice is to avoid the game altogether.… Expand

    Not worth the money in its current form, $40 game at most. It may be a good foundation of a game but i'd be pretty disappointing to pay full price buying a house to find out i only got the foundations. The story portion of the game is done well and complete but end game is non existent, there is no build progression once you have all your skill points spent and that happens very early.Not worth the money in its current form, $40 game at most.

It seems like someone just wanted this game shipped with little thought on what people will do after story. Resistances have no place in the game as they have been made worthless for some reason, you simply build for damage and armor. I love ARPG's but i'm already bored of this game. Does it have the potential to be a lot better with future seasons/content patches, yes it does but my rating is on its current state, not its potential.… Expand

    This game has the most insane out of control CC in any game ever made. It's absolutely bonkers. Once CC is toned down this review will change. Words cannot begin to express how bad the crowd control is in a PVE action RPG. There hasn't been this much cc put in q game in the history of games ever made.

    Game was actually decent on release. Then the nerfs started. They never buff anything people actually want to use, they just keep nerfing the things people us instead. The new patch absolutely decimated survivability for all classes, sorcerer is basically unplayable now, and the barbarian is a shadow of what it used to be.

    The constant grinding that feels pointless makes Diablo IV tedious. The constant online with lagging servers when I'm playing single player makes it frustrating. I pre- ordered because I'm a big fan of the franchise but the game is a big middle finger to fans after its recent patching. I deleted it.

    With the Season 1 patch, the developers have removed all the fun from the game. Diablo 4 is now a grind-fest slog not worth spending your time or money on. Maybe the developers will fix it in the future (hopefully), but right now the game is garbage.

    I rarely write review and have been a big fan of the Diablo series for a long time; this latest patch has hindered all the fun that costs so much to get when reaching higher levels.
    It is unclear why developers would decide to cause this train wreck. I think sometimes they neglect casual players and focus on a few YouTubers that dedicate their lives to this transient form of entertainmen.

I think sometimes they neglect casual players and focus on a few YouTubers that dedicate their lives to this transient form of entertainmen. I did not think Diablo 4 was transient entertainment before and was always counting the hours left at work to be able to go home and play it; but after the patch the feeling turned into more of another irrelevant chore so will be eventually forgotten. Blizzard has turned Diablo 4 into what many of their employees must feel when going to work for them, I hope someone presses Ctrl-Z sometime soon.    … 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.
