Diablo 4 has been a long time coming since it was first announced at BlizzCon in 2019. The long-awaited sequel to Diablo 3, which still enjoys a healthy player base more than 10 years later, promises another round of dungeon-crawling full of deadly traps, fearsome monsters, and of course, epic loot.
The reviews have been generally positive, agreeing that while not necessarily a revolutionary turn for the classic franchise, it is a very good entry that modernizes its approach and learns from its own storied history. GameSpot's Diablo 4 review by Alessandro Barbosa says it "confidently delivers gameplay that has been carried forward and refined from both Diablo II and III, while also establishing a strong foundation for the franchise's future."

Now Playing: Diablo 4 Video Review
On the less positive side, though, Barbosa said that the boss fights are generally lackluster. And while this game takes a much more personal look at the story mostly to its benefit, the visuals are said to lose some of their appeal when the camera gets up close and personal with the characters.
We've rounded up a variety of critical reviews for Diablo 4 below. And for an even broader view from around the industry, be sure to check out GameSpot sister site Metacritic. Diablo 4 releases June 6--6/6, get it?--and early access begins June 1 for those who preorder the Digital Deluxe or Ultimate editions. Notably, Diablo 4 supports cross-play across all of its platforms: PC, PS4, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. That means you can play with anyone regardless of what platform they're on. Cross-progression also means you can take your characters and items with you between platforms, although you'll need to buy the game on each system you want to play on.
