Diablo 3 was following Diablo 2, so there were very high expectations before that.

Diablo IV, has a shown a good amount, and has mostly very positive reviews. It's return to the dark and gritty world of Diablo II. There have been couple of demos, and the game looks and plays great, and most diablo fans are very excited.

One issue the game has, is that it's more of a live service game, so one world, shared by lots of players.

BTW I haven't seen the after-release reviews by normal people, but it has gotten very good rating.

I think the live service aspect is a bit played up though. You can play the game almost entirely solo, and it seems as though the 'peristent world' is more of a mirage than anything else.

Not a big fan of a BP and cash shop in a $70 game though, which is why I haven't purchased.

If it's anything like the absolute ass that is Overwatch 2's monetization scheme I absolutely will not buy it. I enjoyed Diablo 3 but putting pay to win FOMO bullshit in a paid game, let alone a paid game that they then turned into a free game, is absolutely unacceptable. Battle pass needs to die off, but it won't unless people vote with their wallets.
