Diablo 4’s Vessel of Hatred review: Say goodbye to your free time

I spent an exorbitant amount of time with Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo 4 when it first launched in 2023.

With a rich, devilishly enthralling story, rewarding progression systems and loot grinding, Diablo 4 was one of my favorite gaming experiences of 2023.
