    За исключением упавших серваков на старте, все сделали достойно. Если бы не упавшие сервера то 10 из 10!

    This game is exactly what the fanbase asked for, and I am sure that is what divides opinions.
    Resurrected is in the most literal way possible 21 year old game, with a visual update.

    If the worst majority of negative comments about a game are that the characters in the character select menu are not as pretty as the older ones, you know people are grasping at straws about the actual game.
    I can't judge the comments made about servers and multiplayer though, as I have only played the game in single player mode (like back in the day) and not encountered any issues, and I can't and won't deduct points for issues I am not encountering.
    I also will not deduct any points for political and social issues plaguing Blizzard/Activision, this game was made by a big team, overwhelmingly filled with people who are not to blame for these issues, and boycotting/reviewbombing a game they likely spent a good chunk of the past years on is just unfair if the game is what it is supposed to.    … Expand

    Great remaster. It's just like when we were kids, only with new graphics. Definitely going to hang on to this game for a couple of weeks until I pump all the characters.

    DON'T TRUST THESE REVIEW BOMBERS. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    D2 Resurrected is just D2 HD edition with new graphics. And also, have you tried playing D2 last year? No one played. The remastered edition has breathed fresh air into the game which will keep it alive for a few years longer and that is great because D2 is a great game.

    I don't know what ppl were expecting... D4? Go play that when it comes out. This is only D2 as advertised and it plays great, works great, graphics look awesome and also you can switch between legacy and modern graphic with the touch of a button. I guess ppl are butthurt cuz they have to pay a little bit (40 pounds is a little steep but for a legendary game like D2 it's worth it as it's one of the best games that ever came out)

    Go buy it and play it or at least wait untl a price drop. But i don't advice that. Save money and buy it ASAP.    … Expand

    A beautiful remaster of beloved classic. It just a pleasure to dive into the world of Diablo and experience once more what you felt first time playing the original game.

    This is one of the best games I've ever played. It is like the original, but just with awsome graphics. It looks exactly like I imagined it in 2002. The launch was ok imho. The complains are ridiculous imho: I was not able to play the game online for 1 day. Then it was possible and worked well

    Best diablo game out so far. That has decent graphics, at least! Unfortunately.
    And for the people being angry at blizzard: The remastered version is not even made or maintaned by them. Blizzard North made the base game and Vicarious Visions made the overlay.

    The graphics are much improved and modernized, but the gritty, dark atmosphere was preserved. The UI had some improvements as well.

    Gameplay is almost unchanged. The beginning can be difficult, depending on the class, and there's no hand holding. Once you get going, the first 90 levels are easy, the rest is a horrible grind. As it should be. The same goes for farming items and it's awesome.

    If you're the kind of cry baby that destroyed Diablo III with your incessant "I WANT EVERYTHING ONE WEEK AFTER RELEASE" and one week later "I HAVE EVERYTHING, THE GAME IS BORING", kindly stay away from Diablo II. This is gaming as it was meant to be. Easy to learn, hard to master.

    I think they could have done even more regarding UI and stash improvements. A better lobby with game tags for farming, story, trading. A loot filter and maybe optionally a buff bar. Stash search, more stash space, a stash tab for resources. But then again some might argue that it would take away from the original feel, but these are just things I have come to expect from modern games.    … Expand

    Okay, this Diablo is still better than D3 and D4.

    Pretty good remaster in general. It got downvoted hard because of connectivity issues (which are still present, but way less severe), model design changes, some bugs (e.g. GPU usage) are annoying.

    But It's still old good diablo 2 in a modern wrap. Probably one of few good Blizzard releases in a couple last years. Because they haven't ruined the core of the game, lol.

    A memory from childhood resurrected :>

    Better graphics, better movement, better audio, somewhat active patching from the devs, better user experience overall.

    I have no clue what these people are smoking, or why they jumped on an hate train, but this game felt amazing to me. Activision-Blizzard are creating fiascos, such as Diablo Immoral, but this is not one of them.

    Peace and Love

    My apologies for the lack of patience with the AVX launch error. I am very satisfied with the game!

    The gates of hell are open again.

    But wait diablo isn't the real evil. Activision/Blizz Servers Yes!

    Launch was a bit rough, as me and my friends had problems with connecting to the servers - but that was something that we were expecting, due to the high interest that gamers all over the world took into this game.

    Now, about the game. It looks georgous. They added lights reflections, shadows, new models, improved sound. Everything is polished to the highest level.

    Now, about the game. It looks georgous. They added lights reflections, shadows, new models, improved sound. Everything is polished to the highest level. In the old version when you were fighting enemies, sometimes you had too look at your opponent name on the health bar to figure out who or what are you fighting. In Ressurected version every enemy, weapon, item and NPC received brand new 3D model and it looks stunning.

    I'm not sure how new, younger gamers will find Diablo 2: Ressurected, but honestly they don't have to like it and that's all right. On the other hand there is an army of players who love it, who played it around original D2 release and wha come back to the new version with a huge smile on their faces, while being soothed by the overwhelming, warm wave of nostalgia.

    Long story short, I think that this acRPG is one of the best remasters that lately I had pleasure to play.
    I'm happy that it came out and I want to congratulate Blizzard and most of all Vicarious Visions (company, who made it happen for Blizzard) for the job well done.    … Expand

    On my first play I created an Amazon and soon there were 8 players in game hacking and slashing from A1 Q1, and we played together for hours.

    It is visually stunning, I keep myself zooming in to see all the details that were missing from the original. From time to time I switch with a press of a button to see how the original game looked like. Because in my imagination it always looked like in Resurrected, but then the harsh reality comes when I see how simplistic the original was. Resurrected is filled with life, the flags in the city are moving, even the sounds are more detailed and dynamic, as you switch between the old and the remastered version you can clearly hear the difference. They really paid attention to the smallest details.

    I had no issue playing with 8 players together, network connectivity was flawless in EU. So multiplayer works well, don't listen to the negative voices and reviews.

    Auto gold pickup is a very welcome change, and the best is that it's optional.

    If you loved the original there's nothing to complain about this version, it's the same experience with better visuals and sounds. I totally recommend to everyone who loved D2, you'll experience those childhood memories again!    … Expand

    Excellent overhaul to an already excellent classic. Server stability has been pretty good so far. The gameplay feels much tighter and smoother than before.

Character models are decent and if you don't like them, they are covered in armor which is much more stylized and personalized looking with the remaster. People complaining and giving it a 0 due to initial performance bugs obviously aren't familiar with wildly popular launch titles on launch day, in a week the servers will stabilize like always. They are the same people that will end up playing this game for 500-1000+ hours and enjoy the hell out of it without ever changing their review to reflect that.

    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]
