    Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred is an expansion that improves the original experience. On Xbox Series it offers a smooth experience, with no server outages or bugs and makes Blizzard's classic feel as engaging as it did on day one. The new map is huge, the Spiritualist perhaps one of the most fun classes to play and the endgame content the first substantial improvement to gameplay since its original release.

    Ultimately, Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred is a great expansion that knows what it wants and what it's looking for: to build new bridges to the future while continuing to provide content for the present.

    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 4: Vessel of Hatred is a stellar expansion that hits all the right notes, but only feels like the first act to a larger adventure.

    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.

    The release of Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred is quite an interesting case, as the best changes are brought by the free 2.0 update, not the expansion itself. In the expansion, however, we get a powerful and well-designed Spiritborn class, companions, as well as a new map section loaded with quests and side activities for single- and multiplayer. Unfortunately, the new features are a bit lacking, and the storyline isn't particularly captivating.
