What goes wrong
The campaign still doesn't stop waisting my time.
Just came back after a long rest from this game and now it won't even load my new saved game, it just crashes.
Have not been able to stay connected to network for longer than 4 or 5 minutes before the game disconnects and forces me out.
This does not feel like a game, it feels like an engineered product, one that wants to take advantage of you under the guise of giving you something worth your time.
Good job breaking Linux support on the latest release. Now I can't play on either my desktop or Steam Deck. Just play Path of Exile 1 or 2 instead.
What goes well
its so damn good
An excellent ARPG that manages to combine compelling worldbuilding with ridiculously satisfying gameplay, without forcing you to replay the same campaign every time you want to try a new character.

Absolutely incredible! This game is worth the full price (I bought it on sale); lots of content, plenty to do, super addictive, and incredible graphics.
The graphics in Diablo IV are insanely detailed adding to the immersion quality of this mind-blowing masterpiece.

As a Diablo fan since the very beginning, I’ve really enjoyed Diablo 4. Playing solo, I haven’t run into the issues many others mention — the story is still excellent, the atmosphere is dark and...
I rarely play games like this, or if I have I don't tend to go as hard as I have with Diablo 4. Im a big fan of games where you can farm for endless hours and actually see progress, and very hard...
This game allows me to play with my son across the nation online. The game easy to play, intermediate to master (mid-learning curve), but with two or more players you'll conquer most demons and...
