    As good of a game as you can get in the genre. Has updated graphics and you should try it if you played the original.

    THE GOOD: everything Diablo and new visuals.

    THE BAD: server problems, bad launch.

    The great remaster of the old love of mine. Bought three versions - Nintendo, PC and PS5. Yes it was unplayable on the Battlenet, and yes they made characters as old as the fans are right now. But god, I am writing this review after D4, bless the guys who did D2R

    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.

    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

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.

    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

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

    The only nagging problem I have with the game is that game finding is still a pain, with constant refreshing, and unfortunately seeing the same open games over and over again, some of them being third party sites trying to sell gold/items/whatever, and the games never seem to disappear.

    I would have given a higher rating, but during an internet outage awhile back, I wound up being unable to play the game, even single-player, because it required me to get the latest patch... which I couldn't because I had no internet. Instead, I went and played games from Steam, because at least that's a company that understands that sometimes your internet drops and doesn't force you to be online and have your games up to date... for OFFLINE play.

    On the other hand: ....It's Diablo II.

    Severe technical issues and a distinct lack of design or quality-of-life improvements leave this dusty nostalgia trip choking on the dust and cobwebs from 23 years ago.

    Better looking version of the gold oe game.... Really! It is the same game! - including the bugs. Can you imagine how screwed up this is: Selling a 20 year old game with better graphics for 2/3 of a full-prize game and not even bothering to fix game-breaking bugs. This is the state of Blizzard in a nutshell for you. Living quite literaly from the past.

It mostly works, but just like Blizzard, they're half-assing it, aaaaand charging you a, in my opinion, way too high premium to play an old game, with no positive changes outside of it kinda looks prettier.

    I loved this game back in the day, but damn, I do not remember it being this frustrating. And not in terms of difficulty, but in terms choppy game play. When I click the button, my character should do the thing for one. I know that veterans of this game enjoy the throwback. I know that people played D3 and were like "this isn't my D2 that I came to love," but like could they not implement some QoL improvements that we saw in D3? How long has battle.net chat been integrated with all of their games? And now here we are creating channels just to send a whisper. Which is outside of my point a little, but really.

    This is such a huge cash grab that I 100% fell for. Everyone who wants to play this game or get the nostalgic feel of Mephisto runs should really look to Project Diablo 2. Which is open source as long as you have a diablo 2 key or whatever. It was community-driven and, in my opinion, way better than Resurrected. Granted it doesn't have the cute graphics like this, but honestly, I'd take it over this one.

    5/10, 4 of which are due to nostalgia and cutscenes. So really, if you weren't a hardcore D2 player back in the day, I don't really know how I could recommend this.    … Expand

    At the base level, Diablo 2 is just as you remember it from 20 some years ago. That is both its greatest strength and its greatest weakness.

    - 20 Year old game design mentalities with all the clumsiness that surrounds that. All those things you loved? Yup still there. All those things you hated and probably blocked from memory cause it was over 20 years ago? Yup still there. You spend no time in the campaign, you get rushed through to fight baal or mephisto endlessly in hopes for loot that's not stolen by a teleport or leap bot. Make a mistake with your skills or stat points? Welp probably best to remake your character cause you already used your very limited reroll. Randomly ganked? yup. It's very true to form.
    - Graphical Overhaul. I actually feel like while this does look nice if you look at say screen shots, it added too much detail to the point of making the game too visually noisy when you are playing. They also seemed to make original version look worse somehow. Not sure how that happens. Also the no ultrawide support when they said they would was a kick in the stomach.
    - Misleading marketing. I feel like this is probably the spawning pool of all the graphical overhaul hate and to some extent I understand it from that perspective. During their marketing campaigns blizzard spend a very long time explaining how much they wanted this to be true to the original. Digging through old concept art, game sprites etc etc. So when they started to take creative liberties with things in the game they gave us all a comparison point to work with. When things didn't line up, especially the more important things like characters you obviously open yourself to hate. Personally I wish they picked a street. Either say we are giving this an all new fresh twist! or We are making this true to form as original. Don't try to run one side while saying you are doing the other.
    - No TCP/IP
    - Cannot play offline. This kinda hurts a lot as much of how I remember this game was playing it offline so I wouldn't tie up phone lines.
    - They didnt really fix any of the problems that have been present in the game for 20 years. They put lipstick on the pig and pushed it out into the world. So expect old bugs. Also expect LOTS of new ones. Game crashes constantly. You disconnect constantly.

    I'm rambling but the quick and dirty is this: It's the same game you remember from 20 years ago. It looks sometimes better, sometimes worse and functions much worse than its original counterpart. It's lipstick on a old dog, doing the same old tricks. Its fine but I advise you to not spend 40 bucks on this. Far too much money to ask for a graphical update. I'm so glad they had a openbeta for this to ward off the wary.    … Expand

    If it's ok to make such changes to so many characters why it's not ok to also fix some problems that the original game has and that were fixed by mods created by players?

    Technical issues with the servers aside - the game is far away from the classic.

    The movement is optimized for controller. You'll reconize it pretty fast when playing as a melee, cause the character box is bigger, you'll block each other melee party member often. Walking close to along a wall and the movement feels weird, like disoriented.

    The Gameplay is fine and of course a bit more refined but once again now that we have this remaster, the modding community will easily give an alternative. It's much better to save your money and watch a couple of modding tutorials.

    I see a lot of people complaining about the censorship that the female cast has gone through and I completely understand their frustrations. There is nothing realistic about this game. There are all sorts of magic that the characters use that break the rules of reality yet they draw the line on attractive women. Girls love sexy guys and guys love sexy girls. This will not change. The devs need to realise that the majority of the player base is, unfortunately, boys that ooze over attractive women. They are ultimately hurting their bottom line with this. Resident Evil 8 proves how profitable sex appeal is in video games and Blizzard would love to see that kind of revenue.

    I only give this game a four because Diablo II is a great game and for me, this was a very optimised release. Although I do regret buying this game and would never buy another Diablo remaster, (mainly cause I don't feel comfortable support this developer), I couldn't speak honestly on it without buying the game.

    I loved this game back in 2000 and this is the only reason I give it 4. Firstly connectivity issues is just not funny joke. Secondly design of characters Diablo should be gore and bloody and amazon and sorcerres shoudl be sexy. I can imagine that redesigned characters fits much more to what we can imagine as when we think about amazons but it looses it's orginal character.

    But the worst of all is constant server outage, completely predictable from beta testing, you can't play half the time online and this is already TWO WEEKS after launch. Activision released it too early and don't want to invest too much in it so you get garbonzo server infrastructure.    … Expand

It is infuriating if you get the message “The Character is already in a game” when it is not true. There are also cases were launching the game crashes it. Other issues are vanishing items, freezes, connection problems and slowdowns atop of some gameplay glitches. I advice you to wait a few weeks until it is patched or just play the original game. The patches seem to take a while as Blizzard is still figuring out how to solve the issues. Diablo 2 is a great game with a huge legacy but in this state even that can prevent a low rating. I loved the game and do not even know how many hours I have played in all the years. It is a shame that games were released in such a state and people even defending it. You would never do this with a new car that does not work or just randomly. I conclude this with: Just wait until it is in a playable state and rethink if you should really defend such awful practices.… Expand

The limited number of inventory slots will begin to annoy you almost immediately. Purest that demanded everything be exactly the same as the original except for improved graphics screwed over the rest of us.

Theres a lot of single female that understand crap about man and relationship that are welcome to big AAA industry as customers. They don't want them to feel bad, because they arent sexy themselves and seeing that man want to at least get some goodies for the eyes in video games. The thing is that they want to see big strong and tall muscular dude in digital creations as well, so bring back the sexyness or loose your fan base male audience (which might be as much as 70%), your choice. Something is telling me that even with the crappy woke mentality, money is going to make them bend in our favour sooner or later.

    No remake, ever, is going to be worth the full price tag of a new game of current generation, EVER. You don't sell a used car with a new coat of paint the original price. Thats dumb as hell. Never buy a remake or remastered the full price. Make it an upgrade for those who already own the game, or make a new standard price for REMASTER or REMAKE like 60% of current gen price MAX.

    No offline, no mods, no tcp-ip ?

    I think they did a good job with remastering Diablo 2. But oh dear, the bugs and the servers! When do companies start to learn not to ship a buggy mess? I am very disappointed and surprised that Blizzard did not take into account the servers, did no one really question the legacy code of the servers or test it? The queue system is terrible.

    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]
