What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $12.49. That was September 2026. 26 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 40 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $12.49 at 75 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 87 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Torchlight II ($3.99, scores 88) beats it on value, while it beats Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem ($3.99, scores 2).
20 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2026 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,416 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 458 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 31 percent of the 3,430 reviews written there were positive, against 65 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (boost, cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
25.8 hours to finish it, 195 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 7.6 times the campaign.
3 years after release it still had 8.8K people in it at once.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

What players say
I'm only a couple hours into the game but I had the old Diablo games when they were new and ran through Diablo 3 by myself and also with my wife. Diablo IV is great so far. I don't get the criticisms really, it seems like a blend of all of the previous games. I've played other games that are like Diablo but obviously Diablo IV is the way to go if you're also looking for that.
I waited years to buy the game, because I am so disappointed in Blizzard, it's fallen so low. However, I gave it a try and I was pleasantly surprised. It's just a new Diablo. I'm not into min-max, PVP, or achievements. I just wanted to play the campaign. The graphics are great. My two biggest complaints are, it is way too easy, and references to old changed or removed mechanics. I can see that many things have...
Good: - crisp, clean and gorgeous, striking art direction and visuals and atmosphere, meticulously crafted - industry leading production values - stable, optimized and performant - hauntingly beautiful soundtrack - massive open world - satisfying combat paired with orgasmic sound design - dark, gory and mature world, story with twists and turns and genuinely interesting to pull you in quickly - packed with content...
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Diablo® IV scores 15/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/2344520/diablo-ivThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 15, price as of Sep 23.
