    Diablo 2: Resurrected is truly back with the Reign of the Warlock expansion, after never really going away.

    I’m still not sure if I should attribute the DLC’s quality to Microsoft’s leadership or the work of a passionate development team; perhaps it is a mixture of both, but Reign of the Warlock is a truly outstanding update for Diablo II. It’s easy to see that the warlock was crafted by people who have a fundamental understanding of the game’s tone and mechanics, allowing for a fun and creative experience that manages to breathe new life into a classic. If Blizzard manages to uphold this standard of quality in the future, then I wish the best of luck to all other ARPG developers.

    The Warlock and quality-of-life improvements provide enough reason to dive back into Diablo II. But the price is a bit steep. If you're getting into it from scratch on Steam, the full pack is a great deal, but if you're only buying it for the expansion… decide based on your love for Diablo.

    Reign of the Warlock may not introduce a new act, but it lays the groundwork for a bold new era of Diablo II. Blizzard proves that revitalizing a 26-year-old classic is not only possible, but genuinely exciting.

    With the addition of the Warlock and some long overdue modernisations, the DLC successfully refreshes this unrivalled classic for the second time.
