Diablo Immortal Review
Ойындар
Reviewed by Cam Shea on iOS with iPad Gen 9 (2021). Also available on Android and PC.
"There's a lot to like about Diablo Immortal but it's still not a game I can heartily recommend. As a casual, purely free-to-play experience it offers dozens of hours of empowering ARPG combat built around an interesting skill system, whereas for those that want to be competitive it quickly becomes restrictive, punitive, and money-grubbing. And for everyone in between? It just doesn't offer good value for money spent. If the season-long services like the Empowered Battle Pass offered more, I could definitely see myself renewing them each time and steadily working my way through the many difficulty levels as I ascend Immortal's 600 paragon levels, and gradually - oh so gradually - rank up my legendary gems. Instead, that dream is so far out of reach that it's not actually possible. I'm still going to keep playing Diablo Immortal, but without overhauls to the monetisation and the many restrictions, it's going to be a dip in, dip out game, as opposed to a world I want to live in."

In Diablo Immortal, YOU are the treasure goblin and Blizzard try to hit you as much they can before you leave.

I’ve never seen IGN go this hard against loot boxes and garbage monitozation. The reviewer even took a jab at Codec. Easy target but still progress on IGN’s part.

They’ve now officially hit $100,000,000 in earnings. It took eight weeks. Only Pokemon GO managed to bring developers a tenth of a billion faster (2 weeks). Fire Emblem Heroes (10 weeks), Fortnite (12 weeks) and FFXV: A New Empire (22 weeks) were also in the top 5.

WHY 6?should be easy 2
The amount of time they've spent making the game : " a year or 2 " The amount of time they've spent thinking what bundles they could make : " Every second "

imagine if they make it actually a little more affordable, like maybe 100 usd for a 5 star gem, it may even top genshin impact.
Es divertido hasta que te das cuenta que no importa el tiempo que le dediques, un jugador pagando te superara en unos pocos minutos.
Was wondering why the 4:3 video. So awesome to see it’s played with iPad 9 with A13. Means most more modern hardware is more than enough power, unlike genshin.
THE SOUND EFFECTS MADE MY DAY

I'm just surprised IGN didn't give it a 7.
I've just subscribed to IGN because this review is honest.
Even after the buyout they still made this game for more.
There is no skill trees. Skill is automatically unlocked as you progress. So there is no diversity in build like PoE has. The only gameplay you will have is endless grinding dungeon for better gear.
I'm sticking with diablo 3 and 2 remake, thank you
5:25 the hardest part about bosses is when you lag and can't do anything except watch your character die without drinking pots / getting out of the way of attacks
Liked because of the AMAZING sound effect at 1:40 ... laughing hard here
LOL worth the watch just for the fill-in-audio vocals
01:40 Internet Award for Best Sound Effects, lifetime achievement!
any game similar like this for iphone?
first time here but you definitely get a like purely for your amazing sound effects.
Deserves a lower score than Crossfire X
It’s disgusting yes, don’t give them money, it’s literally THAT SIMPLE.
6 is being generous but should be 0.9 for this game

You get a thumbs up purely for the cutscene audio :D
A 6 are you kidding me are you high the worst monetization in any game ever and it gets a 6.
Seems like a fair review.
A six it should be lower than that
