The general sentiment around Diablo IV is divided. While many players find enjoyment in the game's atmosphere and combat, significant issues with monetization and technical stability are causing frustration. The skill tree changes, while offering new possibilities, have received a mixed reception, with some players appreciating the variety and others feeling restricted. The ongoing content updates and expansions, like 'Lord of Hatred', are seen as improvements, but the reliance on frequent DLCs without discounts for previous expansions leaves some loyal players feeling alienated.
