Critic Reviews for Diablo IV: Age of Hatred Collection
Diablo IV: Age of Hatred Collection is an enjoyable and addictive RPG experience that feels like a good fit for the hybrid platform. Some minor missteps aside, the moody art style, addictive loot system, enormous amount of content, and near-infinite replayability make this one an easy recommendation to anyone looking for a good 'time sink' for their library.The debate will always wear on about where this one belongs in the overall series hierarchy, but it's tough to argue that this isn't one of the best modern examples of an ARPG. Online-only is something to consider, but Diablo IV offers some of the best bang for your buck on the system.
It might not be as impressive a port as Diablo III was on the original Switch, but it's serviceable, has fast load times, and very much feels good in the minute-to-minute gameplay. There are hundreds of hours of content, with more likely due out in the future as we await the 2029 release of Diablo V. I'm ready to try out the other new classes and jump into the post-game with some pals in the coming months, and I expect a fair bit of these adventures will happen on my Switch 2.
The Diablo 4: Age of Hatred Collection brings an addictive loot loop, satisfying combat, and a huge amount of content to Switch 2. While performance takes a hit in busy expansion areas, the real dealbreaker is the strict always-online requirement, which cripples its potential as a true portable game. It’s a great companion for cross-save home play, but hard to recommend as a primary handheld experience.
Diablo IV arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 complete, with the main campaign, both expansions and all seasonal content, in a port that preserves the game’s scale and essence in handheld mode. The graphical compromises are noticeable and some bugs still need fixing, but none of that overshadows what matters most: this is the most convenient way to experience Sanctuary yet, and an easy recommendation for both new and longtime fans of the series.

Diablo 4: Age of Hatred Collection on Switch 2 is solid value for people who have never experienced it elsewhere.
Diablo IV: Age of Hatred Collection is an impressive showing on Switch 2, with stable 30 and 40 FPS modes and surprising Ray Tracing. The always-online requirement, though, makes little sense on a hybrid console.

Diablo IV has made fantastic strides over the years, turning an already great game into something even better. With the base game and both expansions bundled together, Age of Hatred offers a huge amount of content for veterans and newcomers alike. It’s still not perfect, but there simply isn’t much out there that compares to Diablo. The Switch 2 version has its compromises, but if you’re willing to accept them, this is still a fantastic way to experience one of the genre’s best.
Diablo IV: Age of Hatred Collection brings together all the content of a game that has evolved remarkably since its launch. The two expansions broaden the experience with new stories, regions, classes, and systems, while the endgame offers plenty of reasons to keep playing for hours on end. The Nintendo Switch 2 version performs capably and is particularly appealing for the ability to enjoy all the content in handheld mode, although the requirement for a constant internet connection remains a significant drawback. Ultimately, this is a far more complete and polished Diablo IV than the one we saw at launch in 2023.
