"Mechanical Brilliance Overshadowed by Shallow World in Diablo IV Review"

Diablo IV is a mechanically perfect game with a compelling story and striking open world, but it falls short in offering substantive content beyond the critical path. The game's sheer size works against it, resulting in a shallow world with an endless checklist of samey content. Blizzard's monetization plans for Diablo IV include an in-game shop and seasonal passes, but the studio promises that cosmetic items will not grant direct or indirect gameplay advantages. Diablo IV will be available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox on June 6th.
