In Lord of Hatred, Blizzard has found a more confident path forward, delivering a more cohesive endgame, handing more build crafting tools to players than ever.
Impressions of Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred are almost entirely positive. If you've been waiting a long time for Blizzard to finally get its action RPG right, that moment has arrived.
Lord of Hatred gives Diablo 4 an extremely satisfying conclusion, excellent changes to build crafting, and an endgame that could potentially go the distance.
While not the content powerhouse some may have expected in terms of landmass, Diablo 4 is such a massive game that finally giving player creativity free reign via loot refinement systems makes it well worth playing.
