So I’m a huge Diablo fan. Played 1-3 religiously (no pun intended). I had intended on getting the fourth when it came out but a couple people told me they were a little unhappy with the initial release.

I remember the same thing happened with D3 when it was released but after a few patches it really turned into a great game IMO.

I was just wondering how the current play was on the PS5? What’s everyone’s take on it currently?

I basically echo all the good things everyone here had to say about it but I find the stats on items maddening to the point where it's not intuitive or fun to try to produce your own builds. If you like following a recipe, it can be fun. There are too many item stats and they don't work exactly as advertised. Getting a "1% increased crit " on a piece of gear does not equal 1% crit for your character.

Just like in D3, the always online nature of the game doesn't add anything but here it produces a lot more disconnects that eventually frustrated me from playing any further.
