    An astonishing game that should be never forgotten. I spent hundreds of hours playing it and after those X years I would prefer to play it again instead of a new low-quality PC (not meaning personal computer here ofc.) hell dictated games.

    Who can name all items when you see them? That is the definition of love, you knew it.

    Tons of games claim a "dark, gothic" atmosphere, but for a real definition of what that means, look no further than Diablo 2. Totally unique classes, the epitome of ARPG gameplay, fantastic and immersive atmosphere, beautifully orchestrated music and sound, this is the main candidate for best of all time in my book.

    it's my all time favorite, it's design overkills its "so called" successors.

    Чудове доповнення до чудової гри. Баал топовий бос, а нові локації нічим не гірші від оригіналу

    Lord of Destruction continua justo después de acabar Diablo 2 original, Diablo y Mefisto son derrotados pero aún falta Baal, el último de los tres demonios. Lord of Destruction básicamente es el final verdadero de la historia de Diablo 2 y tiene un buen final.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing expansion for a great game.

    The expansion pack, Diablo II: Lord of Destruction was amazing and added new playable characters like the druid and the Assassin. It also featured an extra chapter of game play with a new end boss.

    Right after you kick Diablo’s ass back into the pits of hell, you are informed by Tyrael that the last remaining Prime Evil, Diablo and Mephisto’s brother, Baal is located near the highlands of Mount Arreat, an area inhabited by Barbarians who defend the World Stone with their life. Baal has collected his Soulstone to keep it safe and is raising an army to attack the mountain and the nearby Stronghold Harrogath.

    You battle Baal’s forces and defend the land of the Barbarian tribes. You defeat Overseers and commanders and travel through different areas like icy caves and rocky mountain paths. You eventually learn that one of the elders, called Nihlathak, made a deal with Baal to hand him over the World Stone if he spares the Stronghold from destruction. You hunt down Nihlathak and kill his ass.

    Then you need to venture to the World Stone Keep, which can only be entered when defeating the three legendary Barbarian guardians. This was hard as balls but eventually I made it.

    Then you find Baal and murder the crap out of him. Because the World Stone is now corrupted by Baal, Tyrael has no choice but to destroy it. The consequences of this action will be known after twenty years, in Diablo III.

    I really liked the Druid character and the almost infinite minions from nature that you could summon. You can also turn into a freaking bear or werewolf, so epic.

    The only problem I had with this expansion, the same as Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, is that Diablo himself felt like a side boss, because there is another boss or greater evil than him. He is supposed to be the most dangerous creature that ever lived, but now, you just whoop his ass and focus on the bigger problem that is just to come.

    Overall, the expansion was a well-received add on for the original game and I loved every second of it.    … Expand

    If you are an old Diablo fan, you probably already finished the expansion, and if you never even played Diablo II, well, now you can play a complete debugged game with seven available PC classes.

    With the two new character classes, fifth act, powerful new monsters, outrageous new magic items and craft system, the LoD will make you lose sleep, neglect your family’s needs and even miss work from playing it. It’s just that good.

    Has a lot of depth that's readily apparent, yet it takes a long time to really see how much is packed into this great expansion to one of last year's most addicting games.
