Diablo 4 is Getting Review Bombed (gamerant.com)

"Diablo 4 has a user score of 4.8 on Metacritic at the time of this writing, a steep drop from its critic score of 87. The negative reviews outnumber the positive ones for now, with a small number of gamers leaving mixed reviews for Diablo 4. Some of these reviews are pretty extensive, as a few fans take this opportunity to share their opinion of the game in great detail, while others mainly complain about server issues in Diablo 4 and its monetization practices. Some also call the game boring, before stating that it’s not worth the $70 price tag."

How bad is the pay to win situation on this one ?

I've been playing for a week or so now and can happily report there are no pay-to-win features. There's a season pass coming soon which they've promised to be cosmetic-only, as well as an in-game shop which features cosmetic skin sets. The store is *very *overpriced, especially for cosmetics.

Neither I'm particularly thrilled about being in a $70 game, but I'm happy there's no pay-to-win (for now, anyway).
