    Lied about firewall and nerfed it harshly, even broke it. Classic activision, lies and breaks stuff.

    I played Diablo 2 at original launch back in the 90s and remains one of my favorite games but this game just has not aged well at all, Even though the remastered textures and graphics are good, and a few minor quality of life tweaks there remains significant issues and new issues that really hurt the overall experience but what really hurts the experience is the sloppy launch with terrible servers and a really unstable client that constantly crashes.

    Also, people have to realize this game is 20+ years old and isn't something you can get instant gratification from, the 'rush' to hell mode and loot runs in D2R has significantly more problems than vanilla.

    Like the original, the game is heavily based around BAAL runs, the general flow of the game is to rush to BAAL then repeat until you level, then repeat on a higher difficulty and rush to BAAL and repeat until you hit the 90s then the amount of experience required becomes so ridiculous into the billions that it becomes so boring and you literally require a full group in order to get any meaningful experience.

    1) The addition of controllers are making it waaay to easy for loot thief's to spam A to insta-pick up loot on boss runs, its basically just spam that button and grab loot, this is almost as bad as the auto-pick up hack back in the day, honestly ~ this is a major oversight. Basically, it goes like this ~ on baal runs you can literally run right next to Baal and as he's about to die, you mash button A and grab all the loot...as long as no one else is doing the same, this makes people using mouse have a massive disadvantage.

    2) Server instability is still a problem, many of the issues should not have happened considering this is the same engine, with just a few minor things removed like TCP/IP so the server problems shouldn't have been so bad, and still are causing issues joining/creating games even several days after launch. The game will be playable but expect significant downtime on server or login issues.

    3) The D2R client is EXTREMELY unstable and is prone to crashing ALOT, the game crashes very frequently often just without any explanation..just crashes to desktop, this happens to everyone.

    4) Hackers already ruining the experience, and at ladder launch will destroy any legitimacy. I've already seen one level 99 hardcore Sorceress in FULL Tal Rasha set, which I call completely BS on that after just two weeks from launch? Seen a bunch of regular Level 99s too. Not to mention pickit hacks are already rampant, Blizzard you need to start BANNING.

    5) They had a chance to redesign and fix some of the worst issues with the game, such as the horrible Belial boss fight which is notoriously bad and some classes have a nearly impossible struggle to solo forcing them to group up just to beat the boss...same with several other bosses which for some classes really struggle, class balance has always been a bit of an issue, especially with Sorcs.....and if you can't group up, you have to do a mindless grind to overlevel/overgear and brute force your way past certain bosses.

    6) Just 3 days after launch, hackers and dupers started to become a problem meaning Blizz did not really increase security or anti-cheating detection really at all, several known DUPES are still a huge problem especially with Gems and Runes.

    7) Lobby is still awful, needed a desperate overhaul and it didn't get it. Difficult to find games you want to join, the list often refreshes itself on a whim so if you see a game you want to join, sometimes it'll just disappear on you before you can click join, only to reappear later. Really need keyword searches to be added and other filters so you can look for specific quests or runs to join.

    8) The addition of horrendously bad queue times, often means you could literally be waiting up to an hour, if not even longer at times just to play the game and if your client crashes or you get kicked off, then you have to re-queue, this is just absurd especially when a vast majority of people are using pindlebots and essentially are logged in 24/7.

    9) This is basically the exact same as you remember Diablo 2, the good.....and the bad, many of the old glitches, exploits and frankly terrible design decisions are all intact, coupled with many terrible patch ideas that nerfed most of the original Diablo which heavily limited builds and destroyed classes like barbarians and amazons which got hit with huge nerfs and now, are very limited in builds that are hell viable.

    In closing, Diablo 2 is a great OLD game with a fresh coat of paint and it looks great, and feels exactly like how I remember but this game just has not aged well at all, couple that with all the server problems and client stability make for a very frustrating and aggravating experience.    … Expand

I've seen this from newer studios but I've never seen this from Blizz. Then of course there is the connection issue fiasco which is ridiculous considering the company owns WOW which has millions of players and has had equally large launches without these kinds of issues. WTF BLIZZARD? -----I just wanted to update this after they added a timeout period every time you leave a game. Now if you want to jump on one character to grab some gear for another, you have a 4 minute waiting period for no reason. The old game didn't have this and as far as grinding and speedrunning goes, it makes this game unplayable for me. Never buying from Blizzard again.… Expand

    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

After playing so long I realized that strong points of the remaster are still equaled by the weak point(s), and that is why my appraisal is still zero, and I do not see any chances that it might alter in the foreseeable future, only if a wonder happens.
    Strong sides: 1. Amazingly, surprisingly delightful graphics, which makes me feel uneasy about such a low appraisal. It is indeed, as announced, preserves and even improves the vision of the original dark gothic spirit of the game (well, minus some nuances, I will later address these as subjectively negative), and it is a fantastic job, what else to say, I really missed this semi-realistic look and dynamic lighting in their previous remaster of my once all time beloved game Warcraft 3.
    2. A little more friendly stash system with more possibilities to collect several sets simultaneously, and, more important, this stash is now joint for all characters. It is still small of course, but at least they tried.
    3. Ladder runewords available for all modes now. I missed these while playing offline several years ago.
    4. Gamepad support. It feels so good to control the character with my favorite dualshock. I never could effectively use keyboard for hotkeys, and playing only with mouse was such a pain!
    Well, it could be a really decent remaster, and decisively one of the best ever, but there is one major and grave 'if' and some other additional but not that important 'ifs'.
    There is something that makes my game experience sour enough to kill all the excitement. I do not want to put anything higher than zero to this game, and not because it is that bugged and not because of these recent online issues and queues, it is not that much important to me. So, negatives:
    1. Censorship.
    One point that levels down to zero all fantastic features of this game is that it is censored ridiculously heavy, as if it is a politically correct textbook for schoolkids. First, and the most important, I do not like these new uglified characters, and it does not matter how much time passes, ugly will be ugly. I still cannot play anyone except sorceress, because she looks more or less human of them all. This makes me angry about this game. If you want please everyone, give people some options, like character editor, and do not say it is not important. It is important. I am in a fantasy world, and I wish to be associated with a good looking fantasy characters, and not these disgusting creatures with just a slight reminiscence of humans. I want Amazon be young and healthy looking girl (maiden spears really? Why not rename it into aged ladyboy spears?), as she is intended to be, and not this asexual piece of horse **** someone tries to feed me in this game. I hate these bastards who humiliated my favorite character and destroyed the nice artists work, making (her?) literally unplayable. Others are also ugly and unnatural, as if they do not know what the hell they forgot there in the character menu of this game. Hey assassin really looks like current Chinese leader, is it normal? I am sure that the game developers lost their sanity for good, and it is the terminal stage of their mental decay.
    Some enemies are substituted by some strange creatures like little jungle guys were replaced by some monsters with big teeth (actually, i always felt uneasy killing little poor jungle kids and im glad that they are not humans anymore, but could it be made somehow different? Why these big teeth for if they still spit poisonous needles? Or huntresses from act 2 are substituted by some hammer-headed scarecrows.
    2. Lack of style.
    I still do not like since original d2 the strange mixture of monsters in act 5 in NM and H, it totally kills the mood of the most pathetic part of the game, it would be better if they removed these Babylon crowds instead of bothering about doubtful morals.
    3.  Player unfriendliness.
    Finally, I liked playing sorceress because of no other choice, and even enjoyed it, but today I found myself not willing to play this game anymore. Why? I guess, because too many good games were released after original d2. All I wanted is just to make the build I desired -a full light sorc or melee sorc. Just play a role and forget, that's it. But the game as if teases me: hey, not that soon! You may wish to find several ber/jah runes in a year or two and then maybe you are lucky enough to make your desired builds. Stay awhile and play other classes. Seriously, choose anyone of these freaks?
    As a matter of fact, I played d2 after d1, and still remember this feeling of slight disappointment. Even compared to part 1, some diablo spirit was already lost, and I liked to replay d1 sometimes. Now it is not the same. I have choice and this choice is definitely not on the side of game devs who neglect opinion of their consumers.    … Expand

    Now, for the bad stuff. Sadly the game is practically unplayable. There are constant queues to connect to Battle.net, even if you get in you can expect frequent disconnects, switching characters generates an error making you restart the game and queue again. Moreover, there is a constant general lag in the game, much worse than 21 years ago, with monsters killing you through the walls, this kind of playful behavior. And do not even try to teleport around, you are bound to end up in a wall, crash the game, or randomly die! And the lobby is the worst of all, joining an actual game is nigh impossible. instead, you get one of the long list of errors when you try to connect to a game. Refreshing the game info doesn't work most of the time either, so if you want to see if the Baalrun-x-05 is an old game lasting 10 minutes or a fresh run you have to guess.

    If you are reading this do not buy the game. You will just end up like me: frustrated, tired, and angry at Blizzard. It has just been a huge waste of my time, ended up refunding the game. One positive thing can be said about the refund process - painless and fast.    … Expand

    Destroyed character models that don't follow the original art direction, including my favorite Amazon. So there's literally no character for me to play and like tthe looks of in this rendition. On the plus side, they have not changed the gameplay and mechanics. The weapons and environments look good too. The chat is nearly unusable, i can't begin to explain and understand why some design decisions were taken. It's impossible to whisper to different people and look at the chat in the game. Very hard to keep track of and frequently you end up whispering the wrong person.
    So it would have been a 6/10 review from me. 10/10 for the brilliant original mechanics, 2/10 for the "improvements", just because of the environment and weapon models, that are quite secondary.
    However... the game is barely playable. It's been plagued with issues since launch. Frequent crashes and daily server outages are the norm here. Would have been tolerant if this was some indie company with their first game and limited resources and the game probably costing less. But this is Blizzard asking 40 euro from me for a barely playable game. Therefore i am halving my score and giving it 3/10 :)

    Bots are already in play buying Items, dupes are a normal thing, Blizzard gotta re-set the servers daily just to try and fix some of the problems they experiance on a daily basics and even then the servers will lag badly at times
    Reports are just piling in that you can lose hours of progress, Lose items, Loot, And even have your characters get deleted coz Blizzard failed.
    im semi tempted to give it a 1 or 0/10 but to me thats for unplayible games, This can be playible at times but man its bad even when it is playible.
    bad hit detected
    terrible balance
    A Que System just to log / get into the game it can sometimes take over an hour to just GET INTO THE GAME JUST TO PLAY IT! THE SERVERS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE WITH TIME!
    a terrible community (Serioiusly they will rage at you for spending gold to buy scrolls of identify when you have cain, i mean i wanna do it out in the field to see if its worth it or not, not go back to town and use a free source what bs is this community oh yeah toxic terrible fan boy community thats what, peeps who wont accept 1 offperfect gear eather)
    Terrible Eco System / Trade system
    a over-rated Loot system (Aparently 1 off perfect means jack squat)
    Runewords are basicly better then 90% of uniques and such ... in slots that can be runewords that is (Rings/Amulets are safe from this critizie and so are belts and such)
    Graphics are ... Debaitible, I Mean the Amazon is just ... Bad
    The Censorship dosnt make sence, ill give a light example - Boobs is a bad thing to say **** isnt, this happens with a MASSIVE amount of words many of which dosnt make sence at all,
    They COMPLETELY Changed the art style in some areas like wow, I Guess its to make it so Activision isnt tempted to harass it.
    I Mean been weeks after launch and it still drops / kicks people off the internet and you do have that chance of having your character be deleted.
    Oh yeah the 'critics' who rate this game good I believe to be in blizzard pocket book one way or another
    its gotten so bad / biased that im finding it lols whenever i watch twitch, the guy wants to raid one of 2 ppl who stream diablo 2 and love the game, and eveyone is like NOPE IM OUT PEACE!
    Example some time ago A Streamer by the name of Artosis wanted to raid Lama a D2 Fan boy, Most eveyone was like NOPE PEACE Jump ship and watch other people a good chunk of us went to Tasteless
    Yeah even the fan boys are getting bashed on by there own community,
    Lets face it blizzard community always had an issue with fan boys (From WoW Being aparently the first and only great MMORPG To WC3 Being the first and only great RTS to SCBW Being the Greatest game on earth and D2 being the greatest RPG of all time like lolz .... Granted im sure peeps are going to over-exaderate and think im calling all the above games bad im not im just saying how much people over-exaderate said games)

    In addition, there are constant crashes, bugs that have been known for 20 years were simply taken over again unchanged (like the seal of "De Seis" which cannot be opened, or the crashes after killing shenk)
    Update2:
    In order to "investigate" the server problem, the players were now annoyed with a waiting list/queue when logging in, where you sometimes have to wait an hour or more (not that 1000 or more players are waiting in front of you, no ridiculous 160 users were in the queue in front of me waiting time 1,5h) .    … Expand

    I have never in my life written a review for a game, but the **** Blizzard does these days has made me do it, just so I can rate it a 0/10. Worst experience I have ever had, they are refusing my refund request, even though I cannot play the game at all because of the constant crashes , queues and disconnects. A trash company, trash product, avoid it like the plague.

    Yes there is an element of nostalgia when playing this game. I was young back then so I didn't do a quarter what I have done in the past ~200 hours of playing the new version. It's been a blast and completely worth the money for me. The server stability has been terrible sure, but eventually the intern developers at Blizzard Activision will figure this out.

    Half a year before the release of the game, I said that it would be just a new WC3 refunded, the game would fail and put another nail into the cover of the Blizzard's coffin - a company of non-independent, subordinate and almost nonexistent.

They didn't believe me then, they called me a hater. Well. Who was right?
    1. Bending under modern trends, authors ruined the characters. The Amazon was NOT an old witch. Paladin was not a black rapper, he was ARABIAN. Assassin was not asian, she was white and vampirish. Sorceress had breasts partially bare. You did not have any right to change the characters' appearance. This is a remaster where you can only improve graphics, mechanics, sound, but not take away from players what they loved in the game.
    2. And at the same time, what should have been changed was not changed. The stamina scale was not removed, the gold collection radius was not made wider The inventory is so small that there is no place for dropping loot AT ALL.
    3. Clearly overpriced. This game is not worth this much.
    4. Cowardy distribution policy. Fearing that a single game would simply be pirated, authors made connecting to servers mandatory even for a single game. As a result, the hatred of the entire community, refunds, prohibitively low ratings and the final loss of reputation received. Man... If you were just selling a single game through GOG, you would end up earning more.

    Insane waiting list to connect to battle.net servers (1 hour or more if you are not playing at 6am) makes this game absolutely worthless. I don't undersantd how a 40€ game can be sold with this problem. Once you are at battle.net you could play solo to upgrade your charcater, but no, first you have to passa the queue even if you don't want to join/create a game....

    Bugs and server issues aside, I personally have had a lot of fun. The stuttering issue seems to have been fixed at least for me. The score would be a lot lower if I wanted to play online, but I don't most of the time. I can see why those who do play online are frustrated though. The game can be archaic for some especially if you played Diablo 3 first like I did, but I've adjusted to that.Bugs and server issues aside, I personally have had a lot of fun.

    unfortunately blizzard wasted it all and turned in into another signature blizzard fvck up.

    -spam bots, block feature doesn't work lmfao.
    -no moderators, you can swear and spam and idle as much as you want.
    -down day after day even a month into launch.
    -login queue to make up for their incompetence. (but you can idle for 6 hours)
    -no cross play, cuz that would be a little to hard or something.
    -no way to sort game list, auto refreshes and cant remember what game you clicked on, cant double click games, bugs out if you get an error making game.
    -no kick feature, mf parasites ruin games.

    The old broken mechanics are still in there. You still can't play offline and use your progress online, cuz hurr durr cheating, meanwhile people spend more money than on D3 to buy items on 3rd party websites, good thing we eliminated that disgusting D3 market!

    You fight an enemy for the promise of more runes drop than anywhere else, you can't teleport cause you don't have said runes, so you tediously walk in hordes of useless mobs that drop nothing but can almost kill you at every step, when you get to the boss, you spam your hammers like crazy only to realize you are not in that location and enemies are not dying. Suddenly after 5+ seconds you get teleported in another location and there is fire and **** under you so you die quickly. Now you have to get your corpse back, your mercenary is **** even d3 mercs are stronger, unless you pay tons of money or have pure luck and get 1-2 ultra rare runes. So you can die 100 times like I did at Baal finishing hell finally, trying to get your corpse, while your merc ignores monsters and pretends not to see you are getting hit. Immune enemies, immune to everything or at least 3 elements, to make sure your character can't kill them.

    I have the best internet in the world, 1 Gbps for over 10 years, never crashes, 40 ping, still lags and bugs out and gets stuck all the time. Fantrash be like "only way to play is hardcore" hahahahahahahaha, **** off and die with your game.

    Stay away from this, it's already cracked, so basically all the benefits minus the lag and wasting money.
    Sets and uniques are all garbage. Unless you get those 1-2 specific good ones for your character.
    At least in D3 you can farm up with the worst set and get to a decent location where you can farm, and by farm I mean ACTUALLY BEING ABLE TO DODGE PROJECTILES, SPELLS AND EVEN MELEE, IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY GET DECENT DROPS YOU CAN DISENCHANT, why is there even gold in D2 is beyond me. To ****ing lose it when you die, lose 1/4 of all your gold, even tho you can hide your gold in your shared tabs, but nah, let's still make them lose gold. You could drop it on the ground but the ****ty small indie company servers might **** you and you crash and lose it all. Or it might just disappear for some reason.

    Horrible game, outdated mechanics, for morons and fangays. Enemies that explode and take 99% of your life for no reason, because armor doesn't exist, just "dodge" lmao. At least you no longer instantly die to elite packs when you kill them, like I remember in the old D2. But enemies and yourself can hit enemies in MELEE from 5m away, cause **** logic and lag or basically the creatures are bugged.

    The only reason people love this so much is nostalgia, back when there was nothing better to play. And we had low expectations.
    **** blizzard north. I gave them a lot of feedback and they kinda fixed a few major issues like shooting around doors and arches, but then they stopped. Game sold, who cares.    … 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]
