TLDR: The best ARPG yet. Easy 10/10.

Edit: 6th of April, 2025 - ~28 hours since the release of the Dawn of the Hunt -league.

The first major content update (and reset) after four months of the game release, has turned to improve the best ARPG of all time to be even better:

+The stuttering performance issues that were fixed by clearing the game cache every few hours are long gone

+The update added more content than Diablo 4 has seen in all of the seasons + expansion combined - hundreds of new unique items, new class (huntress) with two sub-classes (ascendancy), three new ascendancy for the existing classes, plenty of new biomes, massive tower (end game mechanic that boost other end game content) improvements and other end game content and plenty, new passive tree nodes +++

+New game mechanics, including season spirits and item combining

+Quality of Life improvements, improved map, checkpoint fast travel in a single map/instance, not losing XP on deaths on Pinnacle bosses


--- ORIGINAL REVIEW ---

+Fantastic engine
+Gorgeous aesthetics in all aspects
+Player choice with skills and passives -> huge amount of potential builds
+Sense of progression in terms of power & wealth
+Loot & optional trading
+No difficulty options; no "hide spiders/blood"-derp settings

-UI could use improvement especially on the skill gem-menu and crafting gems
