Diablo 4 bags multiple perfect review scores—here's what critics are saying about Blizzard's 'return to darkness'

Diablo 4 will be out this week for pre-orderers, but between the betas and early review access, we've already completed the six-act campaign and have published our in-progress Diablo 4 review.

The short version of our take is that it's fun, but the MMO-like live service structure stretches the joy of clicking on skeletons for loot in uncomfortable directions. That's not an uncommon opinion among other reviewers, but for several publications, Diablo 4 is a masterpiece, live service features or not.
