    Price - 8/10 I'm a grown man, and I spend way more daily for food.
    Since I buy games like only once a year (no time and desire to play), I'd pay a 1000$ instantly for a game that actually made me look forward for it.
    Since there's no way I'll spend less than 1000 hours in this game - the price per hour of entertainment is laughable.

    Diablo II Resurrected is exactly how I imagine it in the 2000s! Modern graphics, new features, gameplay and soundtrack unchanged. This is what made the game unique to this day

    D2 was my childhood favourite, and with this remaster, the game reignited my passion for it.

    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!

And there is a bunch of weird people who are posting "it is the same game" comments - which should be obvious if it's just remastered.

    If you are expecting a groundbreaking game with new features you have to go back 20 years in time, when this was true as you will have a bad time if you expect that this remaster will bring new things into the mix.

    If you are expecting a visual upgrade of your old beloved classic, then you will have an amazing time playing it. It is perfect? No. It is well done? Yes, very.

    I consider this a great remaster, with animations, visuals, cinematics and QOL improvements just great.

    So in summary:
    If you want to play this game for the very first in your life - manage expectations, this game is 20 years old (consider the gameplay) it is fun, but it will not stand well against like Path of Exile, Grim dawn etc.
    If you loved this game as a kid but old visuals kept you from replaying the game, go for it, there will not be a better time.

    Kudos to devs, greatly done.

    Firstly, I love that, this game has not forgotten its roots. This is a masterfully revisited version of Diablo II, and the feature to move back and forward between the old version and new version by simply pressing a hot key is awesome.

    Secondly, in terms of minimum requirements, I had to update my Windows from 7 to 10 which was fine because it was finally the motivation I needed to
    Firstly, I love that, this game has not forgotten its roots. This is a masterfully revisited version of Diablo II, and the feature to move back and forward between the old version and new version by simply pressing a hot key is awesome.

    Secondly, in terms of minimum requirements, I had to update my Windows from 7 to 10 which was fine because it was finally the motivation I needed to move out of the stone age. Not sure, what this AVX support business is but my computer is over ten years old and still runs it so if you don't have a computer built in the stone age and runs Windows 8 or later you should be fine. My video card is super old too but still runs it with no lag whatsoever.

    Thirdly, the gameplay is just amazing, my friend and I have been crawling through dungeons, completing quests and dying innumerably. It's the way gaming was and still should be. I really don't give a damn about this TCP support, it hasn't changed anything for me, if you want a private game with friends, just create one with a password on it, problem solved. Furthermore, this game doesn't accommodate the cry babies that /gquit at the sign of any difficulty, you actually have to earn your gear and be on to it if you want to snatch up any item before some one else does.

    Fourthly, music/sound, this game is so cinematic and yet, has punchy gameplay to support it, the sound effects have a crunch that is really satisfying, the music changes to all the different terrains, perhaps you're in a dark, underground dungeon or a sprawling city, there's a soundtrack for all situations. Furthermore, All the quest givers have their own voice acted narration and speak every word, not like those half-attempted narrated games you get these days, with NPC's talking a couple of sentences then nothing more... All the voices are different too, so each voice has its own unique style.

    Fifthly, the flow, there's something about the way this game flows that is really gripping. It's not found anywhere else today and this is continuously overlooked. For example, you start off pretty much naked and exploring a cave but then get thrown into a world of lore, mystery and grandeur. You're forever wondering where the journey will take you next? Then, the low drop rate of epic items means that not every player you encounter online is a generic, overpowered God, but you will see them die all the time because of their lack of gear or experience. It's no walk in the park, and therefore there is a gritty, brutal but tactful and persevering mechanic behind its gameplay.

    Lastly, I believe this Metacritic page is getting bombed by people upset with the game. Those instant gratification types or those being insincere and creating multiple accounts to bring the rating down. Just have a look at the amount of ratings that have been placed in comparison to other games on Metacritic, it's absurd. To those people I have the following message, Blizzard have done their best to remain in communication with and provide support to all those that are having difficulty. Check out the forums, they are doing their best.

    Great job Vicarious Visions. Thank you.

I always play through the story once with a build and then came back to it a year later to do it again, so for those who've min-maxed their enjoyment of the game down to ladder climbing and rune-searching, I can't relate but I hope you find what you're looking for here like I have.

    I love that I get to enjoy this game with my family and friend that loved it like I did, and all those friends who are now willing to give it a shot! I expect many many weekends spent grouping with my homies playing this wonderful remake for years to come. It's my personal favorite of the year.

    Oh yeah, before I go F*CK Activision-Blizzard leadership for what they did to their employees (specifically the women who worked under them), for their anti-consumer practices, for horrible workplace culture. Everything bad that happens to them is deserved, and I hope those who worked under these circumstances maintain their jobs or easily find new ones. That aside, Vicarious Visions did this game justice, and I appreciate it.

    That's the review.

Но никто не стал убийцей, даже (и в особенности) Дьябло 3. И не мог им стать. Сложно соревноваться с лучшим, будучи лишь пародией на свою тень. А лучше чем Дьябло 2 мог оказаться только Дьябло 2, адаптированный под современную картинку. Лорд Разрушения живет на моем компьютере с незапамятных времен и вот, наконец, у него появился прямой приемник. 23 сентября ад открыл свои врата и заиграл новыми красками. Как мне показалось, даже более близкими к атмосфере первой части. Даже ролики переработали. Но при всем при том, не убили ни геймплей ни классические механики.
    Отдельно порадовало, что мои сохраненки, бережно переносимые сквозь года с одной машину на другую, обрели жизнь в новой оболочке. За что я отдельно искренне благодарен разработчикам.
    Цена кусается, согласен, но тут наверно беда не столь цены, сколько нашей бедности. Но мы же знаем, что голь на выдумку хитра, не так ли?)
    Персонажей переработали, да. Сделали их ближе к реальности. Но я не скажу, что прямо всех изуродовали: Сорка все так же прекрасна, Друид сходил в качалку и возмужал, Варвар и Амазонка стали менее фентезийными, Некромант все так же мрачен и пафосен, а Ассасинка стала азиаткой (что в целом даже логично). Палладин всегда был смуглым, теперь он обрел лицо. В оригинале они все выглядели кучкой цветных пикселей в спрайтовой графике, все остальное дорисовывала наша фантазия, только и всего :)
    Про сетевую игру ничего не скажу, она меня никогда не интересовала. Убрали возможность игры по ЛАН (хотя в альфе она была), но быть может еще приделают обратно.
    Так что, Лорд Разрушения вернулся. А всем всё равно уже не угодить. Наш вердикт: "После стольких лет? Всегда!"

    It's the granddaddy - the reason why all those dungeon crawlers you played exist began with how awesome D2 was. D2:R passes the 2021 test and then some. VV did an amazing job to reanimate this classic to it's former self, adding little bits of modern assistance, without touching the game. ====

    The graphics options for D2 can stress a card to its limits, if you wanted. The cutscenes are redone. Spells look absolutely beautiful. Monster animations are all as faithful to the original, in spite of a 2020 coat of detailing. Go ahead and press G - you can see the legacy graphics for yourself and compare how the difference in two decades are so si.ilar... ...all the while, the sounds are remastered. AI is designed from original source code. Level design is unchanged. The abusable things are still abusable. Even the loading screen is the same legacy screen! This is the Diablo 2 you remembered, and it looks amazing.

    VV's added some 2021 to the papa of "RNGesus" while staying strictly to the original design. For example, you never had things like "auto gold pick-up", or a friend's list in the lobby to quickly join your buddies, or an ability to compare items side by side without flipping between the two. Monumental additions these are not - VV changes to the D2 are helpful in the background =because= any changes in a remaster ought to be barely noticeable (Warcraft reforged being example of what not to do).
    ===
    Some will say - I don't know what to do! The game never told me! No "information book with the CD" anymore! No guidance on how to play! That's exactly why D2:R is an awesome game to play. In Diablo 2's time, it was sink or swim as a gamer. "Here's a masterpiece dungeon crawler - it's not rocket science, but it's on you to discover the details for yourself. You're going to die." Or just Google it, you dolt.

    Some will say - organizing items is a pain. Did you run out scroll of town portal? Maybe if you stopped picking up useless garbage like a vacuum cleaner, it wouldn't be so bad. Besides, this is a 20 year old game - "suck it up princess". VV even gave you 4 extra stashes, 3 shared across characters, so you don't need mules to transfer items anymore. Hey look - another nice 2020 touch, without violating the spirit of the game. That's what I'm talking about.
    ===
    Bottom line This is Diablo 2, translated to 2021 as if it was yesterday. What a tribute that two decades later, warts and all, VV's shown Diablo 2 is still the GOAT

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 10 баллов из 10, всё заработало, проблему, с требованием AVX устранили, молодцы. Никаких проблем с игрой не испытываю, но лучше бы, с самого начала, не пытались провернуть халтурку, а сделали ли честно-рабочую игру на многих машинах, тогда бы глядишь и отзывов было меньше негативных. Спасибо!
    Старый коммент - "Ноль баллов, до тех пор, пока не будет убрана надобность в AVX инструкции, для процессоров, и игра не станет, как минимум, хотя бы запускаться и появится, хоть какая то возможность поиграть в неё. В большинстве случаев нормальные разработчики стремятся избежать подобных проблем, но в данном случае, работа Blizzard выглядит как самая настоящая халтура имхо."

    Reading the negative reviews for this game is just embarrassing. Its sad that this game is getting absolutely bombed by fools and sexual inebriates.

The developers did an awesome job of maintaining the dark Gothic art style of the original game and the character models fit right in.Reading the negative reviews for this game is just embarrassing.

I really hope Diablo IV is like this game rather than Diablo III, because I find this game so much more appealing from both gameplay and aesthetic perspectives. Also this game runs very well, I've played through the campaign with 2 characters and have hardly encountered any bugs (like 2).

    I can see newcomers not enjying this game because the gameplay/mechanics feel outdated, but this game is a remaster, not a remake... so its to be expected. I'm having an absolute blast playing this game. Vicarious Visions did an outstanding job!

The game balance is really good and difficult enough to be challenging your first play-through. I also played this on PC and Switch for various reasons and find those ports to be just as good (Switch can't do 60 FPS though). Other reviews here are complaining about server issues but I expect that it will be resolved and I also assume all the bad reviews won't be revisited once the servers are fixed so you should probably ignore them.

    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]
