I'm going to let you in on a little secret: I was planning to skip Season 5 of Diablo 4. Yes, me—the Diablo-obsessed hype beast. Not because I didn't think Season 5 would be good, but mainly because we have an expansion, Vessel of Hatred, coming out on October 8. Season 5 is only running for two months, and I was on holiday when it started. I figured Season 5 wouldn't be all that different from Season 4, so why not take a break before the hectic October rush with a new season, an expansion, and a brand new class—Spiritborn—being added to the game?
So, what changed my mind? Well, I had just finished Shadow of the Erdtree, the latest Elden Ring DLC, which is an extremely challenging game. I needed a palette cleanser, but nothing I picked up afterward really grabbed my attention, so when I got back home, I figured I'd jump into Season 5 and give it a try. Boy, am I glad I did. I didn't think it was possible, but Season 5 is even better than Season 4.
