Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred Reviews
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.
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.

Overall, believing that Vessel Of Hatred is a very important step for the title as a whole, bringing a solid campaign, excellent new features and many quality of life improvements, it is difficult not to recommend this expansion to fans of the title.

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.

Vessel of Hatred brims with an addictive new endgame loop, hundreds of gameplay changes, the brilliant Spiritborn class, the vast and beautiful new region of Nahantu and a dark, unrelenting story.
Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred is recommended for offering a new class that is a success for the variety in its combat system, together with the new area within the vast world of Sanctuary. Without leaving behind its new mercenary system to enhance solo play and all its new mechanics introduced. Including the free content update for everyone.

We found Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred to be a very interesting expansion, with great successes - the Spiritualist, return of the mercenaries, and the postgame content -, and some things to improve - some difficulties are broken, and the game needs even more balancing -. Otherwise we are facing a great expansion, with a lot of content, new challenges, and that will captivate the Diablo IV player from start to finish.

Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred helps the base game touch up on almost every element and make the game all the better. It also establishes the new direction for Diablo IV and has set up a lot to come. A great addition to an already good MMORPG. With a great continuation campaign, quality of life changes and many, many new items and activities.
It's great to see that Blizzard has managed to win back the fans in the past few seasons and is taking the next step in the right direction with Vessel of Hatred. Whether you quickly stopped playing Diablo IV because there was too little to do or you are simply ready for new content, with Vessel of Hatred you will get an excellent expansion. If Blizzard can maintain this upward trend and quickly add new raids, the future of Diablo looks very bright.

Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred is an expansion that brings more than a breath of fresh air to Blizzard's hack ‘n slash. Admittedly, many of the new features come from the previous season's updates, but the solid base has been supplemented with some well-crafted innovations, the most important of which is the Spiritist. The new class enjoys exciting gameplay and animations, and is a lot of fun to use. We are left with some questions about the direction Blizzard wants to take: what is Diablo IV for the US development house? A hack ‘n slash or an MMO? It is time to make a clear decision.
