We have a much more different and packed Diablo IV than we had a year ago. There is plenty of endgame activity now and it shows that Blizzard really is listening to it's community's desires, so we can say Diablo is back on the race. If you haven't played it for a while, now is the time to try again.

A New Beginning for Diablo 4? Definitely yes. The developers change the basic systems, add a storyline and offer players a lot of additional content. Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred is an enjoyable addition that shows how Blizzard can expand its popular baby.

With a powerful narrative and subtle adjustments to the base game's quality of life, Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred is a beautiful complement to the original game, a good more-of-the-same, bringing another region and especially a very interesting new class to expand this fascinating universe further.

Blizzard’s Vessel of Hatred brings an exciting mix of new content and quality-of-life improvements, plus the introduction of the Spiritborn class make it a must-play for fans of the franchise.
This expansion is incredibly good. It is so good, that I think the narrative is much more polished and intriguing than the base game’s ever was. It is so visually impressive with some captivating end-game scenes and bosses that I couldn’t get enough of it.
Diablo IV, despite its strong gameplay and stunning design, suffers from clear shortcomings in its storytelling and the variety of its endgame content. An incomplete narrative and unresolved endings, combined with questionable monetization decisions, leave players with an unfinished experience. However, the Vessel of Hatred expansion, featuring content such as the Dark Citadel and the Spiritborn class, offers a glimmer of hope for the game’s future. Although the expansion’s narrative still grapples with the same issues as before, its innovations suggest that Blizzard has the potential to change course.

The structural and technical gameplay elements of Vessel of Hatred are improved across the board and work well as redeeming features for a disastrous, hot mess campaign plot.
The biggest shake-up for Diablo IV since launch looks to be its best so far. Vessel of Hatred offers up a compelling story, a fun new class, and an exciting world to explore, all while sticking to the dark and gritty themes that worked so well for the main game.

Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred offers a lot of enjoyable monster bashing, but also a pretty disappointing story campaign. It's an expansion mainly for fans of the base game. If you liked it — then Vessel of Hatred is as well for you, if you didn't, look somewhere else then.

Make no mistake, Blizzard continues its strong pedigree in Diablo expansions with Vessel of Hatred. The new campaign, location, class, and content will keep veterans busy for a long time. Once again, the expansion serves as a soft reset for Diablo 4 and will undoubtedly set the foundation for future improvements.
Vessel of Hatred is an excellent expansion for Diablo 4, with a starting price tag that reflects the content offered. The new class, the Spiritborn, is versatile and makes gameplay more various. The story, new region, and music are well done, but the Dark Citadel endgame activity is the real highlight. This expansion appears to be just the beginning of a series of high-quality content for the game.

Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred is not just an expansion for the base game, but it is a way for the developers to reaffirm their concern for the continuity of the title and, consequently, the franchise.

Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred is an important expansion that manages to hit the mark, successfully and naturally integrating itself into the base game. It does not venture into revolutionary innovations and therefore will not succeed in making Diablo IV palatable to those who have not appreciated it so far, however, thanks to the quantity and quality of the proposed content, it is certainly capable of renewing interest in the game.

Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred delivers on what it promises and disappoints on what is expected. It leaves the reward of returning to the game to have a great time with friends discovering new dungeons, facing hordes and experiencing the new class.

Overall, the Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred expansion is a worthwhile trek that provides players with more Diablo IV but wrapped in a package of highs and lows, with its biggest miss being the unexpectedly short story that leaves players wondering how it’s already done when the good parts were just getting started. This is quite unfortunate because the rest of the expansion hits the right notes with its additions and new features, chief of which is the new Spiritborn class that excels in providing players unparalleled versatility. With a new endgame cooperative activity, a level cap reduction, and much more, Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred is an exciting expansion that offers players more reason to grind for more loot, which, in the end, is what Diablo IV is really all about.
Although this addition has added more questions than answers to the questions that have been lingering in players' minds in the fourth installment, it's everything a Diablo player could ask for. It's everything a Diablo player could ask for: a dark story that continues the legacy of the series, a new class that adds variety, and plenty of post-apocalyptic content.

Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred is a very good first expansion pack that offers a good lifespan for the price. In my opinion, it's much more complete and longer than the DLCs in previous games in the series, both in terms of story and gameplay. In my opinion, it's the right time to get back into the adventure, and I think it will once again become my favorite multiplayer game of the moment.
