    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?

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.

    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.

    The game itself is fine but the servers will stop you from playing it. You will queue for hours only to get kicked mere seconds after logging in and be thrown back in the queue. This is unacceptable in 2021.

    Login to game, wait in queue for 1.5 hours, get in the game, find something useful, game crash, lose progression, wait in queue again for 1.5 hours in order to just play 30 minutes.

    I remember when I first played Diablo II, it was a game you can play any time you would like to, not a game like this one which you should either play early in the morning or late past midnight.

    Sadly, this is not the game I would like to play.

    I was happy to go back to this game which I played so much a few years ago.
    I'm extremely disappointed, I was one of those who couldn't play when it was launched because of a bug related to the generation of the processor (the beta was working), it started badly.
    The pinnacle was also to implement a queuing system to enter a game, because Bnet did not want to invest in other servers.    I was happy to go back to this game which I played so much a few years ago.

    For me the drop rates of certain objects, even runes, have dropped, I made two HL characters, the first and second season, not even had battle boots or a herald, on the other hand I have enough to fill several accounts of sigon set found in hell.
    All that to say that this game is too expensive for a remake, and it is just thought to keep sites like D2JSP (lamer site) or the use of bots going.

    Bliz/activision has no business being in charge of this IP, hopefully MS goes scorched earth on that entire studio when they take over. D2R is a disgraceful reskin and a shameless cash grab. Even if all the current "improvements" had been in the initial release it would have been a huge disappointment. It really should have been such an easy win too, they didn't even try.

But you cannot expect from company who cares only for money and its employees who does not care what they are doing anything good. Diablo 2 Resurrected is a great example where company wants to get easy money with minimal efforts putted in the game which they did not even developed with cosmetic changes. If you think Blizzard changed anything good in the game – you horrible mistaken. Yes, they updated graphic but did not improve gameplay, did not fix many errors but bring only new, destroyed atmosphere of the game by censoring absolutely anything (blood, naked parts NPC and player, made player character ugly as hell) – even some spell’s animation looks even worse than back in 2000. If you ever loved Diablo 2 you will bring great respect to the developers of original game by not buying this garbage – do not bring any money to the company who just want to do nothing but steal your money by using your nostalgic feelings.… 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]
