Our take on the Diablo IV PS4

Diablo IV is Blizzard's dark action RPG set in the gothic world of Sanctuary, built around loot, skill builds and endless dungeon crawling. On PS4 it runs at a capped frame rate with longer loads than the newer consoles, but the core game, seasons and cross-play are all intact. Reviewers call the combat weighty and the atmosphere the series' grimmest, while some find the endgame grind and seasonal reset repetitive. It suits players who want a long co-op loot game and already own a PS4.
