    Спустя время можно сказать, что это не плохой продукт. Поиграть в нее убив пару сотен часов можно легко. Но при одном условии если вам нравится гринд. Если нет то 15 часиков на сюжет. И еще столько же на ностальгию если она у вас есть. Хорошие ролики прилагаются.Спустя время можно сказать, что это не плохой продукт. Поиграть в нее убив пару сотен часов можно легко.

    Being a old school and long time Diablo 2 player, i will say it's the game i used to love and play way back in the day. However it seems they didn't fix some of the issues it had since then, which at times is pretty annoying, especially if you consider paying money for this game (40 Euros isn't cheap tbh).

    It's because i would have liked seeing them release a fixed version (i still have all my old and later disc / dvd copies) for that amount but unfortunately they haven't done so yet. There might be fixes or patches coming to address the faulty hitboxes and pathfinding issues etc it currently has a lot of.
    Other than that, it's a fairly stable game with a steady player base, and the entire game including expansion to keep you busy with for quite some time even for casual players..
    I'll rate it 7/10 but that's because i loved the original which to me personally is still a far better version, and the 2008 version is actually better than this one as well, no lie i can play it perfectly on Windows 10 without that much adjustment needed to run it smooth as butter and on 1080p.
    But hey, hopefully this game gets the help where it needs and afterwards i'll gladly rate it higher than a 7/10. For now, i just can't but nonetheless i'm enjoying Diablo 2 Resurrected despite its flaws.    … Expand

    When D2+LoD were new, I only ever cleared Normal before moving on to other games. With Resurrected, I walked through every act of every difficulty as a Hammerdin with a Summonmancer in coop.

With Resurrected, I walked through every act of every difficulty as a Hammerdin with a Summonmancer in coop. This game is in serious need of balancing - you will have areas with next to no enemies in them, then enter one with 15+ long-range casters who will kill you before you can react, because you get hit by so much at once. When I had my damage aura on, I was oneshotting most enemies (I followed a build), and the Summonmancer I was with (who was also following a guide) was doing next to nothing for the entirety of hell. Some builds just aren't viable for long-term and it's brutal that they didn't have a balancing patch at launch for this.

    I'm on a GTX 1070 and max the game out with 60fps @ 1080p, but whenever I'm in the open areas of Act V, even with no enemies on the screen, I will get around 40fps, even if I lower settings, always the same fps. Seems like a bug. My Summonmancer would have enemies in River of Flame (Act IV area) show up as black boxes rather than enemies, so played through that area with legacy graphics so they could actually see what was going on.

    Drop rates need to be buffed, I'm really not interested in being one of these people who farms for 20 hours without getting anything they're after, and I also don't see how it's fun that you have people who can put in 15 minutes and get godly drops just because the rates for endgame gear being absolutely abysmal and some people getting extremely lucky.

    I played with a controller and it feels superior to M&K (since movement is better and you have more skills available with one button press) except for a few things: One, in general it can be a bit of a pain to target specific items to pickup, so if you're trying for specific pickups before M&K players, good luck. Also sometimes I would just not be able to pick up an item because it was stuck in a wall, so I would either have to switch to mouse for it or have my Summonmancer coop buddy pick it up and trade it to me. The other issue with controller is the interact button prioritizes summons over interacting with other things for some reason, so if you have a bunch of summons on an item, merchant, stash or TP, you won't be able to use them, as hitting the interact button will just move you to the summon. I have no idea why this is the way it is, it feels like a blatant oversight and it would only get more complicated in 8 player games with multiple summon characters. Also you cannot move the map with controller, you can do this with the arrow keys on keyboard but on controller this should be bound to moving right stick.

    The new graphics are amazing, the gameplay is still good enough, but it's rough in a lot of areas and the only reason the game didn't get the overhaul it deserves is because of all the sticks in the mud who would whine and complain about any updates, even though they can always stick to the legacy version if that's what they prefer. Hopefully improvements come moving forward, as-is it's fun but know that you're going to have to deal with some oldschool garbage and not 100% perfect controller support - they thought of most things with controller, but not everything.    … Expand

    Most of the complaints are about server problems and whatnot, if you can actually play it's pretty solid. Though $40 is a little steep.

Лица ужасны, все голые, в оригинальной игре, части тела замотаны и спрятаны. А амазонка вообще, будто брат близнец некроманта. Есть отвратительный баг, прорисованная карта местности, остаётся после перезахода, чем жутко путает. Идёшь вроде к проходу по карте, а там сплошная стена. Очень надеюсь что это всё починят, на веры в близзард уже осталось очень мало.
    Теперь хорошее: это прекрасный ремастер, монстры и окружение перерисованы фантастически. Геймплейные изменения сведены к минимуму, по этому играется точно так же как 20 лет назад. Дополню, через 2 недели в это стало невозможно играть, сервера лежат уже неделю. ___________________________________________________________________________
    First, I will describe the problems, a terrible netcode, monsters teleport, the damage does not pass, you may receive damage from an unpainted lightning or fireball. The icons for gems and skulls were drawn by a first-year design student. The faces and figures of the female characters were drawn by the misogynist and the misogynist together. The faces are terrible, all naked, in the original game, body parts are wrapped and hidden. And the Amazon in general is like the twin brother of the necromancer. There is a disgusting bug, the drawn map of the area remains after a restart, which is terribly confusing. You go like to the passage on the map, and there is a solid wall. I really hope that all this will be repaired, there is already very little left for faith in Blizzard.
    Now the good news: this is a wonderful remaster, the monsters and the environment are fantastic redrawn. Gameplay changes are kept to a minimum, so it plays exactly like 20 years ago.    … Expand

    Еще раздражает куча механик, которые следовало бы доработать. Менеджмент с фласками ужасен, вечно надо залазить в инвентарь и закидывать их в пояс. Про стамину уже наверное каждый высказался - это очевидно рудимент. Еще нельзя открыть куб хорадрика во время торговли с нпц.

    Эндгейм контента, к сожалению, нет. Весь "фан" для высокоуровневого персонажа состоит в том, что ты спидранишь боссов, убивая их сотни раз. И насколько я знаю, близы не собираются дополнять игру. А жаль.

    Однако знать истоки жанра - важно, так что рекомендую всем фанатам Пое и других подобных игр пройти классику хоть раз.
    PS: нынешний близзард уже врядли имеет прямое отношение к франшизе Диабло, сильно надеюсь, что Дэвид Бревик и братья Шефферы получают прибыль с игры.    … Expand

    Don't get me wrong, Diablo 2 is a masterpiece but it is not like it disapeared all of a sudden, it is still very alive and playable. As such I would have liked Vicarious Visions to try and spice things up a little making the game more modern in some aspects and try and alleviate the flaws of the original product.

    Act 3 is still teh same shore, mana early game is as bad as it always was forcing you to fill your inventory with mana pots, well all the flaws are still here.

    Graphically, it is amazing and looks great sadly it does play like the 21 years old game Diablo 2 is. A missed opportunity in my book.

    Still I very much enjoy replaying Diablo 2 but it is worth it only for fans of the game, new comers should look el;sewhere (Grim Dawn, PoE, Last Epoch) as it is rough, a diamond nontheless, Diablo 2 is still a masterpiece but it is clearly a remaster and not a remake.    … Expand

Nothing that makes you feel like you're gaming in modern era. No loot filters no expanded inventory (tp back to camp every 2,5 minutes), no auto pickups of certain parts, pretty frustrating death mechanics etc. However, you do get EXACTLY what you pay for: Diablo 2 in a new jacket. Not a new Diablo game. Therefore, I think this is a solid 7. Not a single point more, because of their fear to actually improve the game, but no less because they actually did not f it up.… Expand

    Diablo II: Resurrected is far from perfect. The changes in character design are likely to rile up returning players, and the archaic gameplay probably won’t agree with younger generations weaned on more streamlined, sophisticated experiences. While I appreciate that this legendary title is now available in an improved format, it’s not a caveat-free recommend.

    Diablo II returns with refreshed graphics and unaltered gameplay (apart from some small improvements). It’s as fun as I remembered, so I quickly felt at home and gave in to nostalgia. However, it’s hard not to notice that beneath revamped visuals lies a 21 years old design. [12/2021, p.32]
