GameSpot gave Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred a 9 while apologizing for not spoiling the brochure.
The Original Review
GameSpot — Jessica Cogswell
Rated: 9/10 · Published:
“Lord of Hatred offers both a spectacular conclusion to the Hatred Saga and plenty of changes that grant it greater longevity than ever before, including two powerhouse classes, plenty of improvements, and strong endgame content.”
Let's open the evidence bag. GameSpot's review of Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred reads less like criticism and more like a Blizzard keynote that accidentally learned paragraph breaks. The score is 9/10, the adjective density is legally considered fog, and by paragraph two we are already hearing about a 'powerful gut punch' and 'the series' most-compelling narrative to date' with the serene confidence of a man selling volcano insurance from inside the crater. This is not an evaluation; this is a launch trailer wearing reading glasses. Sponsored by the truth.
Was this review of a review fair?
