4.0 felt too much like they were trying to turn a video game into an RPG, and it didn't go well. 5e is... a lot better. There's an evener balance between character development, story, and hack-n-slash, whereas with 4e... pretty much every encounter ended in a battle, and you really needed to save your big attacks, as some of them (even martial attacks) were put on encounter or even daily cooldowns.
