Vessel of Hatred is a worthy extension of Diablo 4's already impressive gameplay mechanics and story. You might be left wanting if you're looking for a conclusion, but the extensive content offering is more than enough to keep fans happy while we wait for the next instalment.

Since the launch of Diablo IV, Blizzard has continued to improve the title with various updates that enhance the player experience. With the arrival of Season 6 and the DLC Vessel of Hatred, the game is now enriched with several valuable enhancements.

Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred brings some new content to the table, including the new playable class, a new zone, a new coop mode, and some new story. However, the story lacks the kind of oomph and satisfaction that usually comes with Diablo. To boot, Party Finder limits itself with the seasonal and non-seasonal characters, and the Spiritborn class is still receiving early adjustments to how it plays. Still, there's a great free patch that comes alongside the expansion. This creates the perfect opportunity for returning players to check out where Diablo IV is now. The free quality-of-life changes might...

Diablo IV came out with a bang last year, offering an incredibly polished experience with the addicting loop of looting and upgrading the series is known for. With a few Seasons under its belt and a slew of updates over the past year and a half, it has now delivered its first true expansion, Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred, furthering the story and offering fans a proper opportunity to jump back in and experience some epic new content. With a truly disgusting trailer that initially revealed Vesse...

As improved as Diablo 4 has become since its launch, Vessel of Hatred feels like the best and worst of it. The new end-game activities may be worthwhile, but story fans might want to think twice before jumping in.

It’s no secret that Diablo 4 has been going from strength to strength since its stellar launch followed shortly after by the plunge back down to Earth with a lacklustre first season. Even now there are still some who’ll turn their nose up at Vessel of Hatred, based purely on the bad taste that initial experience gave them – and that’s a shame, because Vessel of Hatred rocks.

A fantastic expansion with a very compelling set of features, including a new class, a far-better approach to bosses, and a few borrowed elements from their other MMO works. It’s a big step in the right direction, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Whether you date it to the beginning in 1972 with Pong, or in 1980 with Pac-Man, this history of video games is by now substantial. And when it’s told, that history has to include developer Blizzard. The company’s flagship titles — WarCraft, StarCraft, and Diablo — have defined the MMORPG, real-time strategy, and ARPG genres for decades. Blizzard has never been the originator of a genre, but instead embraces an idea and reveals its potential. This is certainly true of Diablo, which set the template for isometric action RPGs that is still the standard. Diablo II was — and remains...

Improved mechanics, polished gameplay and the introduction of the Spiritborn makes Vessel of Hatred the best version of Diablo IV to date.

Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred demonstrates that Blizzard Entertainment is following the right path with its ever-evolving action-RPG. The addition of a new region and class breathe new life into Sanctuary, and smart changes to progression and core systems only improve the baseline experience further. The story could have been more impactful, but this expansion still offers a journey worth taking.

Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred introduces a wide array of new content and changes, most, if not all of which enhance the experience for the better. The story doesn't quite reach the same highs as the base campaign, but the new class and lots of endgame content should keep players coming back.

Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred has a great start, mediocre middle, and frustrating ending. The Spiritborn class is a fantastic addition, along with the new Mercenary system. At $40 if you’re in it for the story you may come out as frustrated as I am, but if gameplay is all you care about then there’s a lot to love.

Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred is set to launch just about sixteen months after the debut of the base game. It's a much quicker timeframe than we've seen with Reaper of Souls, the first and only Diablo III expansion, which only materialized almost two years after the base game's launch.
