The general sentiment around Diablo IV is as mixed as it is divisive among players with many praising its atmosphere, combat, and graphics. Despite some players highlighting its improvements over previous entries in the series, significant criticism is aimed at technical issues, especially when concerning Steam Deck and Linux. There is also a big concern regarding paywall practices, with complaints about locked game content behind costly DLCs. The impressions suggest the game has engaging qualities, but is simultaneously marred by its online requirement and persistent technical mishaps.
