“Diablo 4 has a user score of 4.8 on Metacritic at the time of this writing, a steep drop from its critic score of 87. The negative reviews outnumber the positive ones for now, with a small number of gamers leaving mixed reviews for Diablo 4. Some of these reviews are pretty extensive, as a few fans take this opportunity to share their opinion of the game in great detail, while others mainly complain about server issues in Diablo 4 and its monetization practices. Some also call the game boring, before stating that it’s not worth the $70 price tag.”

      I’ve been playing for a week or so now and can happily report there are no pay-to-win features. There’s a season pass coming soon which they’ve promised to be cosmetic-only, as well as an in-game shop which features cosmetic skin sets. The store is *very *overpriced, especially for cosmetics.

      Neither I’m particularly thrilled about being in a $70 game, but I’m happy there’s no pay-to-win (for now, anyway).

    It’s forced always online is absolutely ridiculous and I’ve already read multiple negative effects of the system. Not to mention the cash shop and the $70 base price tag.

        Yeah, I’m glad I waited for reviews on this one, even though I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time.

        I just don’t want to support this sort of practice any more.

    My issue is the level scaling. Feels like every fight has been the same difficulty the entire game and I never get stronger.

      Same here! I’m only level 34 at the moment, so hoping the end-game provides a bit of variety. I don’t want to be stomping every mob into oblivion, but it’d be nice to notice a difference when I equip better gear/level up.

          Currently playing a Rogue - it’s what I played in the beta, but haven’t got around to using something new yet. I’m following the ‘Shadow Twisting Blades Leveling Rogue’ build from d4builds.gg which is good fun.
