The value story

The value story

26 discounts in the 3 years on record, a median of 40 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 6 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 86 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Victor Vran ARPG ($19.99, scores 70) beats it on value, while it beats Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem ($19.99, scores 2).

More about Diablo® IV

Players rate it 65 percent positive over its lifetime, and the last 30 days run 73 percent. It is aging into a better game than its average suggests. 3 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 30 percent of the 3,543 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, 194 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 7.5 times the campaign.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

What players say

This game does not respect you time as a player, you will get to torment 12 and still the majority of your loot drops will be basic blues and yellows, no asterisks, no mythics unless they are a trash roll, just blues and yellows forever. No thanks.

- One of the most uninspired plotlines I've experienced in a video game - After every cutscene a character will recount what just happened in the cutscene just in case you're incapable of independent thought and analysis - Stutters constantly even on a high end computer. To call it poorly optimised would be too generous. 180GB install, without DLC, by the way. - Took base game skills and moved them behind an...

This is my first Diablo-style ARPG. I played the current season with all the expansions, and after around 76 hours, including some time in the endgame, I think your experience really depends on what you're looking for. I played with a group, and honestly, I probably wouldn't have picked it up without people to play with. Unfortunately, some major content, classes, and features are tied to a paid expansion, so I...
