Review consensus
Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred is a substantial and confident expansion that closes the Hatred Saga with a dramatic, emotionally resonant campaign set across the striking Skovos region. Critics consistently praised the Warlock and Paladin, expanded skill trees, improved build experimentation, and systems such as War Plans and the Horadric Cube, which make progression and endgame access more approachable. The story occasionally rushes a few plot points, and some endgame additions lack depth or remain difficult to access, but the expansion meaningfully strengthens nearly every part of Diablo IV and represents its strongest overall form.
