In In our analysis we give Vessel of Hatred an 8/10 and we said: “It’s a sign of the care Blizzard is putting into the Diablo franchise. It adds everything you would expect from an expansion, opening a world of possibilities for players looking to get the most out of the title. “You would expect a little more attention to the narrative, but the gameplay is still absolutely incredible.”
