    Activation Blizzard is ultimately extremely fortunate to have acquired Vicarious Visions, they have done an incredible job with the artwork, staying true to the original while accurately extrapolating far more.

    There have been server and database issues on days 1 and 2 of launch with a small percentage of players locked out for a week due to old CPU architectures. There are a few bugs too, however, they are mostly minor and hard to notice.

    The downside of the game content is mostly with the lobby UI. It's awkward and looks more outdated than the original and QoL features such as filters should really be present. On the plus, there are many new QoL changes in-game with more found in the options.

    D2 fans will not be disappointed, but those who haven't played D2 before might still have a difficult time simply because older games tend to be less intuitive. However, D2R is a remaster as opposed to a remake so changing core game design is perhaps unrealistic.

    Overall, the new 3D engine and art are incredible and it feels like a significant improvement over the original; Vicarious Visions should be proud. My biggest gripe is it feels a bit rushed out and hence issues within the first week, unfortunately, this is typical of Activision and most modern publishers.

    In terms of negative reviews, the most censor worthy content is female bosses and monsters, yet they are unchanged. The criticism appears to focus on female characters who were made to look more realistic. However, it seems these identities are so invested in breast size that the mere sight of reduction is enough to create an existential crisis. I think most people can likely cope, however.

    If you feel you can look past the political climate and want to experience a classic game, then D2R is an excellent choice.    … Expand

They seemingly did not take into account how the game would actually play on an entirely new visual system. 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

However, it's also a classic for a reason; no other game in this genre, at all, including Diablo 3, Grim Dawn, Path of Exile, Titan Quest etc. etc. etc. has nailed the in game aesthetic and immersive experience of Diablo 2. It is just fantastic in this respect.

    For me, I just wanted what I got - a remaster that left it largely alone. So for me, it scores highly. If you expected something mechanically improved or whatever, I can understand maybe a 6 or a 7... but this shouldn't be scoring any less from anyone.    … Expand

    EDIT - Note the organised campaign against Blizzard and D2:R - resulting in people grouping up to thumbs down every positive review, and thumbs up every negative one. Such a lack of objectivity is why gaming review sites don't mean much these days!

    First off, I would urge you to ignore all of the review bombs from people with such a sense of entitlement and a disconnect from reality    EDIT - Note the organised campaign against Blizzard and D2:R - resulting in people grouping up to thumbs down every positive review, and thumbs up every negative one. Such a lack of objectivity is why gaming review sites don't mean much these days!

    First off, I would urge you to ignore all of the review bombs from people with such a sense of entitlement and a disconnect from reality that they expected the launch of a new online multiplayer game to have zero issues, immediately at launch.

    Anyone that's gamed for a decent number of years knows to sit back for the first few hours and chill, though with that said I was able to play immediately at launch for a period of 90 minutes, until a maintenance window rolled out that sorted the server issues and off I was playing again thereafter.

    Secondly, this game runs like an absolute dream on a non-potato PC, for example:

    1) I've not experienced a single instance of FPS drop
    2) I haven't once lost my connection
    3) Only 1 single game crash in almost 1 week of playing.
    4) No technical issues in anyway whatsoever

    This game does EXACTLY what it says on the tin, it's a remaster of an all time classic and possibly the best ever ARPG, with some added improvements such as shared stash, ladder runewords included in non ladder, the Lord of Destruction Expansion bundled in and some awesome looking new character models.

    I love the fact that you can press 'G' at any point to toggle between old and new graphics too, this really shows how great a job they've done.

    The core game is still exactly the same and I've been thoroughly enjoying my time on it thus far. Player base seems huge, plenty of people and games around to trade, haven't seen any bots at all yet and the experience since launch has been all round awesome.

    I'm extremely hard pressed to understand why some people are leaving bad reviews because:

    - They can't see certain body parts of female characters anymore.
    - They expected no maintenance or issue fixing upon immediate launch
    - They aren't able to abuse other players in game by swearing at them anymore
    - They are leaving negative reviews on any Blizzard game, due to a totally separate issue that Blizzard have been facing recently.

    The user scores on this sight are NOT a reflection on the game or the launch whatsoever, they are a reflection of how entitled a lot of gamers have become, and how a mass of people will group together to target a game made by a company with review bombs, based on a completely separate issue.

    Great game, no issues at all, works exactly as expected - this is coming from someone who took a week off work to play it the minute it launched, so I already have a very high number of hours put in.

    You won't regret purchasing this game, it's brilliant!    … Expand

    My biggest issue is with the lobby and server list. It should have been modernized. I don't find a way to join the same chat lobby as my friends. They still have the short server names with "O this N that R...". Not exactly newcomer friendly. Would love to have a trade channel in the chat easily accessible from a dropdown list.

    Since there's a lot of hate towards two aspects of the game, I want to add my two cents. What I've read the most in negative reviews were server issues and antiquary mechanics.

What I've read the most in negative reviews were server issues and antiquary mechanics.

    Server issues: Yes, it's frutstrating. One could expect Blizzard to foresee the flood of players trying to create a session, or even loading their character list. Some of my colleagues even lost an hour of progress. That sucks. But did it ever work for any popular game on release? Even New World struggles, keeping their players in the queue for hours, and they run it on Amazon's server cluster. What are we allowed to expect of an online game on release? I find it understandable to let off some steam. I did curse a lot. On the second day I was able to play a lot more, and during the rest of week I could even start a couple new session within an hour (for countess and baal runs). So they fixed it, at least the major issues, which found very much to my liking. De-sync still exists some times, so I'd avoid playing hardcore just yet, give the devs some time to make the game more stable.

    Antique controls: Yes, they are antique (if 20 years is enough to call it antique) because they didn't change it. They kept every mechanical aspect of the old game, and re-done all the graphics. My favorite is the running animation of the avatar when it apruptly changes it's direction. Not only mechanics, but also gear, runewords, skills, attributes and all that is kept as it was, which enables me to take an old build guide and play a class as if I was playing the old game, but with excellent visuals. I like how they changed the graphics and animations, but what I like more is that they didn't change anything else. Well, some things bug me still, e.g. getting to a portal when surrounded my enemies, but that's kept same as well.

    So if you like contemporary gameplay, go for D3, Path of Exile or similar popular isometric ARPGs, this game is for those who liked it before, and maybe those who enjoy 'antiqury' games in general. I still play Need for Speed Underground and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Dark Souls, but struggle to commit to buying any new ones. Actually I'll get Cyberpunk anytime soon, but as with Witcher 3 I usually always wait until all major bugs are accounted for.

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.

    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.

    This game is exactly what was promised by developers so I don't understand so of the criticism here (people expected a new game or what ?:)).
    The graphics are amazing, even improved from beta tests. Gameplay feels great and enhanced audio quality adds depth to that. The small improvements like improved stash, gold auto-pickup or merc skills description are great.

    I understand that for the release they just wanted to get the base game going and hopefully in the future we can get some additional content.
    I'm a huge D2 fan and am enjoying the game whenever I can.

    There are 2 issues I see:
    - server problems after release. I actually expected worse but still it was annoying
    - price is too high.

    I can understand the frustration of many users but giving a game 0 just because it had server issues after launch is not fair in my opinion.    … Expand

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!"    … Expand

    The king of Looter action RPGs is back and looking better than ever. Yet I see idiots review bombing this game just because of minor server issues which is normally expected on game release.

    The best way of describing this remaster is puppeting the original game with better visuals and sound. Gamers can easily switch between the OG game to the current by pressing L2 and sensor button which shows the journey of the game.

    The cinematics have been revamped as well and noticed the iconic music is a lot cleaner. Controller support has also been added obviously for console and is a breath of fresh air. It can be annoying especially with Necromancer's Corpse explosion where you can't specifically blow up the right corpse and the auto aim is not strategical compared to point and click with the mouse. Although, getting to skills is faster by mapping them to buttons and shoulder buttons.

    Everything else is the Diablo you know and love. PS5 gives the option for performance mode to 60fps which the OG was known to be stuttery at times barely hitting 30. Character and weapon models have been changed and the game with HDR in play makes dungeon crawling in the dark fantastic.

    There has been a lot of ease of game issues addressed, the key one being the inventory space and shared stash.

    Multiplayer I found to be way easier on console compared to PC as you can just invite your friend in game. On PC you have to create an annoying private lobby for your friends to join in.

    Overall, I love the game. Pure nostalgia has hit, and I'll be invested to getting these 7 heroes to Hell mode and try to get a Platinum (looks at the Hardcore mode Lvl 99 with fear).

    They said it wasnt supposed to be in there. They said they were working on a fix. Yet other things keep getting fixed and this keeps getting put on a back burner. Now theyve tried blaming us for not meeting system requirements which we do. Many cant even get refunds back as some "game masters" refuse to issue them. Ive seen some terrible launches. D3. Many of the WoW expansions. Cyberpunk. Fallout 76. This is by far the worst and most disappointing. They managed to destroy a remaster and bone their oldest supporters. They keep banning people on twitter who even bring it up. This company no longer has any clue about what loyalty or accountability is. So if youre running a cpu thats 10 to 13 years old, dont buy it. You cant play. If you dont like companies who cater to streamers and screw their most loyal customers. Then dont buy anything blizzard related ever again. The development teams we knew and loved back in the day are long gone anyhow. This new generation of bliz devs just suck.

    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?

    Except my i7 processor which can play all other games and blows D2 and D3 out of the water. They refuse to fix the issue with AVX and thousands of people who are LONG TIME FANS cannot play. My specs are all above minimum, I run the right operating system. Everything is up to date and READY TO GAME.

    But they won't fix this issue. Refund that money and never give it back. They dropped the ball for all of us fans, and when it comes to new fans they dropped the ball on them too as I'm seeing so many issues with other platforms that it was released on. Server errors galore!

    I'm sorry but D2 will go down in history and D2Refunded will remain a ghost.    … Expand

    Don't listen to the trolls here who are giving this game super low ratings because of server instability in the first few days. Everyone was warned and knew there would be issues, this is perfectly normal for a large scale release. And yes things like character models changed a bit, but this is a grqphical remaster, what did you EXPECT? It is impossible to please everyone.

    With that out of the way, as a lifelong ARPG player I am happy to say that I'm hooked all over again with D2 resurrected. The graphics are top notch and the devs have made excellent quality of life changes. D2 resurrected is certainly a relic of the past with many dated and clunky mechanics, but coming back 20 years later you really see just why this game was a genre defining masterpiece.

    The atmosphere, character development, itemization and pacing is just excellent and d2 resurrected shines brightly even decades later. My only complaint is that they didn't do even more QOL changes but I anticipate more improvements to come.

    Don't miss out on this great experience!    … Expand

    I was really excited for this game but after playing for a few hours and the server crashing with no autosave, I lost everything. I refunded the purchase. I may revisit when the game goes on sale for under $20. As others have said, for a game that doesn't work and a price tag near other AAA games, it's just not worth it right now.

    We need personal loot. We need more quality of life options and loot filters. We need better lobbies and communication. Thos game is going to die off extremely quickly without modern change and updates.Why do you think most people choose to play mods? Completely bugged and trashy. Servers have been down more than they've been up for the last week. Typical Activi/Blizz.

    Take 1 for ugly female characters. What you did is criminal. Why they so ugly omg? What is wrong with amazon? Who do you think plays your games? You made this game not for fans, that is clear. You made this game for lgbt community, for 1% of gamers, and that's why you have low ratings. Blizzard is dead.

    I see it as my duty to warn you. The game is a buggy mess at the moment and we are talking about serious issues. You can lose hours of gameplay or even worse your character does not reappear when you want to continue. 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.

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

    I have invested around 25 hours in the game. However, I have lost all my progress/item/experience of my "offline" character, TWICE, due to problems in Blizzard servers. The only thing a game should provide is to keep this safe and it did not. I do not want to continue playing a game knowing that my efforts will be undone with no follow up support. I requested a refund.

    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]
