While the first Diablo IV season, the Season of the Malignant, should have improved the game with new content and mechanics, the patch that preceded the beginning of the season made the game much worse to play due to nerfs to all classes that have impacted almost all playstyles and builds. Only the new level requirements for World Tiers III and IV have been reverted back, so it will be interesting to see how all the other complaints will be addressed in future patches, if they will be addressed at all.
Diablo IV is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One worldwide. You can learn more about the game by checking out Alessio's review.
