Diablo 4 inarius concpt art2/20/2024 I liked that, but while, like the entire art direction, it isn’t bad, it’s lacking substance. The few details you get in the religious direction are more Eastern than Western, more Orthodox than Catholic. You get “Gothic” fantasy which means it aesthetically apes everything from the middle ages, and in this case, is more Romanesque than Gothic. None of the designs are bad per se, but they aren’t particularly interesting, either, even aside from the lack of color. If the game were in black and white, almost nothing would be lost. Each area in Diablo IV blends with the last since the palette changes are so subtle. It’s like looking at a wood floor: you see a brown floor, the composite of all the planks, not a complex pattern of wood grain. The problem is that without any color, no details stand out, even when the art is quite baroque. They made a big deal about going with a “darker” tone than Diablo III, and I guess that means “Cannibal Corpse Cover without any colors.” It’s certainly grotesque, but the horror has little impact. Other people seem to like the visual style, but I find the endless stretches of greys and desaturated blues and yellows to be horribly monotonous. That’s because the first 40 hours, the campaign, are a slog. For people who are more casual and for whom 40 hours is a lot to drop into a game, my short opinion is to wait, probably until the first expansion. Chances are if you’re already into Diablo, you have already purchased the game, ground up your level, and moved into the endgame stage or are maxing a seasonal character and don’t care about any of these criticisms. Before I go further, let me say that I will be very critical of the game, but it is not all bad it does have redeeming qualities, but even these just aren’t very good.
