According to reviewers, the developers not only offer players a rich campaign with a deep storyline but also provide a wealth of endgame content.

While Diablo IV sticks to the series’ traditional formula without venturing into significant experimentation, several journalists still praised this approach. They believe it is not a flaw but rather an indication that the action RPG serves as a near-perfect continuation of Diablo II and Diablo III.

Nevertheless, Diablo IV introduces a significant number of innovations compared to its predecessors. Most notably, the game’s open world impressed many reviewers as it significantly alters the familiar gameplay cycle. The inclusion of world bosses within this expansive world also left a strong impression. Additionally, Diablo IV boasts more diverse endgame content right from its release, surpassing that of Diablo III.
