Tried Diablo 4 - didn't rate it. Just mindless grinding, bashing the same buttons over again, through auto-generated maps as you slay endless enemies which require little thought or unique approach, levelling up over and over to remain just under the auto skill gap. Almost no skill or challenge to be found, just grind-bashing. As soon as I paired up with a friend who was 5 or so levels ahead of me we just melted everything. Boring. No sense of exploration or discovery to be found in the map either. All dungeons look and feel the same when it comes down to the fundamentals.

Positives are the incredible cutscenes, which are some of the best I have ever seen. Story was quite cool too, with good voice acting. Atmosphere was solid too.

5/10 (did not finish)

You're just getting too old to fuck with the grind mate

The road to lvl. 70 and World Tier 4 was pretty good. The campaign was solid and cutscenes mindblowing. But the grind and lack of endgame content made the game a f*cking bore. Horrible experience after lvl. 70.

I just went back to Path of Exile and got my ass kicked, but it was/is way more fun.
