What players say
Fun to many, but bitter over paid content, always-online and Blizzard's long-term support.
Players like
- Strong story, atmosphere and campaign (esp. with DLCs)
- Fun seasonal endgame loop for some
- Classes feel distinct; good in groups
- Cheap on sale
Players dislike
- Paid expansion needed for full experience; paid characters/cosmetics
- Diablo V announcement angers players over abandoned live service
- Always-online, cannot pause, disconnects and crashes
- Server crashes at season launch; loot feels meaningless
