    The good: The game looks decent and plays just like you remember it.

    The bad: No matter how good a game looks and plays, none of that matters if you can't actually play it due to server issues.

    I did not wanted to make a review on the game since I was enjoying nostalgia pretty much. Now, there are a lot of issues with servers and they have decided to implement queues to deal with it. Instead of taking time and resources to actually fix their stuff, they put blame on the customer and blocks them from playing. Its not even a product anymore but a laughing stock.

    Resurrected my Metacritic log-in to rate this steaming pile of crap. I swore an auth after Fallout 76 to never pre-order again and to never support a game broken at launch. Refunded on day 1. No more chances. Billion dollar studios are not allowed to sell you a broken **** anymore.

    I feel that this game is rather unpolished on release. That is, there's hardly any difference between this version and its beta. And it's still going off on it. I see that they reworked the graphics in their own image and the engine based off of it so I like that.

    I don't believe in giving games a 0, but this one was hard. Blizzard let the Diablo 3 hating purists have every single demand they wanted and they STILL hate the game, not even for their horrid server issues.

These people ruined it to get EXACTLY what they wanted and they still hate it. In the end, D3 fans don't like the game and D2 fans don't like the game. On top of that, the game is almost impossible to play because of server issues. It took them a month just to implement a server queue and my average wait time is over an hour if I really want to play, being 550+ in queue. That queue does not move fast.

    So to flip things a bit, I'll save server issues for that, but these are the issues with the game:

    - Inventory management is awful
    - Inventory size is a joke
    -Town portals are expensive
    - Leveling is a total joke and takes far, far too long
    - Diablo is the most overpowered boss I've ever seen. I've yet to land a single hit on him despite having killed every single previous boss on the first try. Diablo has killed my entire party in a single stomp every time. I honestly haven't even seen him at all. he kills me from off-screen
    - Hit registration is nearly non-existent. I have a 99% chance to hit yet roughly 80% of my attacks just vanish into thin air.
    - When you play offline, the game no longer randomly generates the maps each login
    - When you play offline, the stash is reduced to barely 80% of the online stash and you have only one single page. There's enough room for your quest items, meaning the things you MUST keep, and absolutely nothing else.

    Then there's the server issues:
    - Server queue wasn't implement until recently. The switch got it yet another week later
    - Server queue length is criminal and can take in the upwards of multiple hours
    - Playing on weekends or evening is not possible. The servers are full
    - Let's not forget the rubber banding that has resulted in me getting killed multiple times and no, it is absolutely not my internet.
    - Even better, it disconnects at random. It's not all that common, but happens once or twice every other or every 3rd playthrough. Once disconnected, it's back to the queue

    I'm only playing it cause I want to finish the story, but I've already gotten refunds for my Xbox and PC. I've only got it on Switch and I only play it handheld. Docked is.....seriously ugly. I will never understand how the game runs significantly worse than D3 on identical hardware. I've also never seen a game that had not one, but TWO betas, and still managed to launch in a far worse state than the beta.    … Expand

    Go back to line one of the review.

    This is the D2R experience. Despite how good the game looks, how great the nostalgia, the fact is that this game has so many unplayable features and crashes, it makes me embarrassed to say I bought this game. IDK why I thought Blizzard would have made something good, when they have been been feeding us **** through a mesh screen for so long. Hopefully the company just gives up after all the lawsuits and bad reviews in the next couple months before they can disappoint us with a Diablo 4 and whatever half ass experience they are going to give us in the future.    … Expand

All the classes look like they’ve aged 20 years as if the models actually aged in between the original and “remaster”. The Amazon looks like a man and her outfits were censored to appear less sexualized. The same is true for the other “female” classes while the male models just look like tired old men. It’s funny how it’s okay for these deranged liberals to sexualize underage girls in trash like “Cuties” but adult females in a dark fantasy setting can’t have any sexualization. Blizzard even censored some of the enemy models and backgrounds. Blizzard knew the outrage from fans over the changes they made to the character designs and doesn’t seem to care and released it in this condition anyway. The only reason I gave this game a 1 is that you can switch back to the original uncensored graphics but that kind of defeats the purpose of buying a remaster in the first place and that doesn’t really fix the ugly models which are still present. Don’t support this “remaster” with your money the original unbastardized version is still available to play.… Expand

    2. YOU NEED BNET to even play. What a disgusting move. You don't have truely offline mode, that means even if you play single player, you have all kinds of delay like a thrid class indie online game. And I haven't mention lost of progress, lsot of connection. For **** sake, blizzard's server are garbage.
    3. With this updated graphic, it don't really look up to date with current graphic standards, but the performance is so bad. Constantly stutering and framedrops. Blizzard put their interest before their customer, very good practice.
    4. Well, all other annoying and outdated design in this game are perserved. That's very freaking lazy. And they even managed to add more new bugs.

    Updated: Tried a few mods recently found another huge disgusting change made by blizzard, other than ban mods. In single-player, you use to keep the map you explored, so if you want to farm any boss, it's very easy to do once you explored the map. However, in the online single-player mod(I know how stupid this sounds), your map resets every stupid time! And you can't use plugin to show the map. What can I see, blizzard can really find a way to make a 20 years old game even worse than the orginial

    The most powerfull enemy of the game is the blizzard server, you can't play on battle net more than 3 minuts, after this time, you'r kicked out with that message "You'r connection has been interrupted" and pray because you'r character can be erased.

    3 days later and the game still doesn't work... I have not been able to get into a game for the last 3 hours. It's been a nightmare half the time spent on this game, whether it's CTDs, overlapping maps (markers appearing that make no sense, like waypoints and other things) or just not being able to play at all... This is just too much bs to put up with.

    Обычно я читаю здесь комменты и рецензии, но этот ремастер от Близзов и VV выбесил меня настолько, что я решил-таки написать сам, ведь это моя любимая игра детства, я помню всё в ней наизусть.

    Во-первых, дизайн персонажей, особенно женских, извратили донельзя. На них просто больно смотреть, особенно со старой озвучкой. Анимаций это касается тоже. Разработчики настолько мелочны, что    Обычно я читаю здесь комменты и рецензии, но этот ремастер от Близзов и VV выбесил меня настолько, что я решил-таки написать сам, ведь это моя любимая игра детства, я помню всё в ней наизусть.

    Во-первых, дизайн персонажей, особенно женских, извратили донельзя. На них просто больно смотреть, особенно со старой озвучкой. Анимаций это касается тоже. Разработчики настолько мелочны, что испортили пинки по бочкам, взмахи оружием, бег. Это абсурд какой-то. Про смену расы я и вовсе молчу: сделали азиаток убийц, а голоса у них по-прежнему от белых актрис. Ещё все теперь старпёры, хотя в D3 та же Волшебница видно, что умерла молодой сразу после окончания D2.
    Во-вторых, проблемы с онлайном, пропажей персонажей и предметов, а также нестабильный пинг - позорище.
    В-третьих, повсюду распихали идиотскую цензуру: то тела удалили, то крови меньше сделали, то тряпками закрыли зады демонов, то диалоги забавные удалили у НПС, то обвесили женщин одеждой и латами, а Варвар опять бегает полуголым в коричневой юбке. Вот ЗАЧЕМ вы пихаете этот бред в старые игры?! Вы и так поганите новые игры! Оставьте старые хоть в покое, изверги!!! Вы должны были сделать тупо красивую графику, наподобие SCR, зачем стилистику игры трогали? Не нравится юмор и фановые вещи? Так удаляйте коровий уровень! Удаляйте всех падших, которые больше смешат, чем пугают! Я просто в шоке от этой тупости. Тёмное фэнтези в D2 было КРУТЫМ, а сейчас в D2R все герои похожи на унылых старых бичей, как будто D2R для пенсионеров и феминисток, а не для фанатов.
    В-четвёртых, они ещё испоганили старую графику D2, которая на G: там 5 ФПС, всё пиксельное и в маленьком окне. Я спецом открыл D2 и там всё нормально: при разрешении 800х600 игра растягивается на весь экран, графика достаточно чёткая, потому что рисованная и в изометрии, играется плавно. В нормальной Диабло 2, кстати, очень легко увидеть, что зацензурили, а что испоганили в ремастере. Я хз, как они это сделали, видимо, чтобы на фоне ремастера оригинал смотрелся намного хуже.

    Из плюсов я отметил бы графику и спецэффекты, перерисовку вещей, а также новые модельки для легендарок и зелёнок. Но за то, что они извратили оригинальный стиль, я их никогда не прощу! И почему Акт IV не доделали до конца? Наверное, это время тратили на цензуру и уродование персов. Ничего нового в игру не добавили, хотя могли бы сделать квесты в духе D1: (Автоподбор золота и расширенный сундук не в счёт, это банальные мелочи, а сундук могли бы расширить ещё больше, как в D3, или чтобы можно было покупать вкладки за золото).

    P.S. Что забавно, один из дизайнеров ремастера недавно выложил пост в Твиттере, где он показал Амазонку для D2R. И там у неё красивое и молодое лицо... Я просто офигел. То есть, дизайнеры для ремастера делали нормальных персов, но их потом специально изуродовали.    … Expand

While you can have offline characters, the game lags a lot when you save and exit (as it attempts to connect to the server each time which is just annoying). No LAN play anymore, so we lost that feature. We did gain shared stash tabs for whatever that was worth. But we got no improvements on systems that could have used more attention (i.e. improving the unused skills, mercenaries and builds). I find it hard to justify the cost of the game, considering most of the "fun" comes from the decades old game, and all this does is provide better visuals.

    I mean - it is a 20 year old game - nothing else. But with much better graphic. You can even switch to old graphics everywhere. So, somehow thats cool. But to give a rating lets have a look at it from a neutral perspective.
    It's simply not working. Server unavailable since days now. A LOT of players are complaining about character loss or progress rollback. And    Could be really nice!

    And what does blizzard do?
    "We are so sorry but working on it".
    Thats simply not enough, not after days and days. No real information about whats going on, what the issues are they are struggling with.
    I believe the community would try to understand and forgive if they would at least try to explain why we are unable to play a 40€ game since days now.

    I personally did a hard refund via VISA card. So sad!    … Expand

    I was a long time D2 player back in the 00's. I loved this game. I was super excited to play it again. What was delivered to us was a steaming lump of pretty garbage. The graphics update was gorgeous. That's where the positives end.

What was delivered to us was a steaming lump of pretty garbage. The graphics update was gorgeous. That's where the positives end.

    The lobby was better back in the day and is practically useless in its current form. You can't really search for games and your game will only appear on the list for so long before it's shoved down and no one can see it. Not that it matters because....

    The servers are routinely down 10-12 hours with no explanation and often come with rollbacks which means you lose gear and progress gains at random intervals. If you manage to get connected you are frequently unable to join friends games or public games and will receive error messages ranging from "that game doesn't exist" or is "no longer joinable". The BNET friends list integration is janky at best. If you managed to get into a game, good luck staying in it between the servers instability and the client's inability to run for longer than an hour without crashing. At first I thought that was just me, but no, it's apparently a large chunk of people that experience consistent crashing.

    The design decisions on the UI are baffling. For 12 years the D3 interface has had the exit button on the bottom right. The delete character button is now there and there is next to no difference between the delete character prompt and the exit game prompt. They claim they can't restore your characters but the ability to roll your characters back shows that this is either intentional, negligent or lazy as hell. It's 2021, who's out here running servers with no backup/restore ability.

    Blizzard has massive bank. There is no excuse for the state of this game. None. If you've got that much money and your product is performing like this you're just out here grabbing as much cash as possible and giving zero concern to your customers. Good luck on getting a refund, I've been arguing for two days that they've sold me broken garbage but have gotten no where. My advice to you is force a charge back. They've done nothing but bait and switch us at this point. The two Beta periods I was able to participate in were much more stable and functional than what has been delivered for public consumption.

    This could all have had some of the sting lessened if we were communicated with but that's apparently not in the budget either. We get nothing but vague patch updates and copypasta messages about investigating the issues.

    If you're like me and played this game in it's original incarnation, don't waste your money. That Blizzard is long gone. The old game still works and there are solutions out there for playing it on a modern system. You're better off getting your hand on that using the Plugy mod. It's much more stable, you won't have to deal with the servers deleting your stuff and you can back up your characters locally. Not that you'll have to, the old interface wasn't designed by an imbecile and works quite well.

    Save your cash. There are better games from better developers. This is just exploitation of my generation's longing for the games of yesteryear at this point. I miss the old Blizzard like a lot of people do but this current incarnation is not them. Not even close.    … Expand

    The game itself is great. But there are several problems. Examples, from minor to major:

    A bigger issue is Blizzard´s inability to communicate. One example: frost mastery was breaking immunities. No communication from blizz whether this was intentional or a bug. Some patch happens, frost mastery no longer breaks immunity. No communication that that would happen (in a game with limited respeccs). And, since there are no patch notes, and no communication from blizz, we can´t even be 100% certain that they changed it on purpose, might just be a bug now.

    The biggest issue though, that runs this down from 9/10 to 1/10 is the servers. Since I started playing, the servers are down up to 10 hours per day. Every day. Open Bnet/tcpip play was removed, so all you can do in this quintessencial multiplayer game is play singleplayer.
    Oh, and of course Blizzard´s communication on the server issues is barely existent.    … Expand

    Scammers gonna scam. Those Blizzards fooled everyone again!
    The product itself looks fine but its all only the shiny appeal.

    A whole week servers are down and failing.
    Awful ignorant support, replying once per 24 hours!!! Ridiculous!
    btw none of their replies showed any info on what's going on.

    DO NOT have any deals with them! EVER, or you will be scammed one way or another!

    I often get disconnected with server, can't play well for 2 weeks so far. I can not accept the explanation of Blizzard about "modern player behaviour", they don't playing games, do they? I'm so disappointed.

    This game is completely unplayable - the servers do not work. You will either disconnect, or be placed in queue for HOURS. Regardless of how the actual game plays when it works, it is undeniably not ready for release since it simply can't be played, at all. I requested a REFUND today and it got immediately accepted, I would really recommend this for anyone who has already bought this.This game is completely unplayable - the servers do not work.

Never have I experience such a failure of a game launch with little hope of actual resurrection. This game is losing players and die-hard blizzard fans by the day. There is just too much worry about when trying to play. What if it freeze in a mob of monsters and crash, just to come back and see my body is gone and I lost experience, valuable items, or even my HC char. Happens. What if I crash and now I have to wait over 30minutes in a queue to get back online? Happens. The only thing not happening is the ability to login, play, and enjoy.

    I don't have hours and hours to play every day, so whenever i actually have an hour to play, i would prefer not to wait 30min just to log in, just to spend most of my remaining time waiting in the lobby because i joined/left a game too fast. (for the past 2 weeks i have barely been able to play the game i spend 40eu purchasing, and it feels like evey hour i spend, i get 15min of actual game time)

    So what choise do i have?

    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: Resurrection is outdated return of the legend, but it brings such a perfect atmosphere and such a wonderful audiovisual processing, that serie fans will be excited.

    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]
