    Let's sum up my Diablo 2: Resurrected experience so far...

    Play for 5 hours at the initial release and get disconnected. Attempt to connect to a new game to continue playing and get notified that “Failed to enter game, this character is already in a game on the server.”... This error persists for another 3 hours locking me out of being able to play.

    I'm finally able to join another game at which point I get connected only to see that approximately 3 of the 5 hours of my progress, including the items, waypoints, quests, levels, everything had been rolled back and lost.

    I continue playing for several more hours and experience the same error message once more "Failed to enter game, this character is already in a game on the server."... This time I have been locked out of being able to join games for 18 hours now but I can still see the character selection screen so I can see that my character is 6 levels lower that what they were at...

    This was a fail of a launch as per usual by Blizzard.    … Expand

    Amazingly good remaster. Stays very true to the original look and feel of the game, and yet the graphics are a million times better. Had a rocky launch but things are stable now.

    Diablo 2: Resurrected — один из главных тайм-киллеров года, который мгновенно затягивает и ни на мгновение не отпускает. Трудно даже представить, на сколько бессонных ночей ремастер обречёт геймеров.

    Отличный ремастер!
    На самом старте без проблем вошел в игру.
    Да, часть сохранений слетела. Этого стоило ожидать!
    На оценку это никак не влияет!

    For a remaster, I was expecting 21:9 (ultrawide support), upscaling the graphics but leaving out ultrawide monitors and asking 40€.

    I'll wait for it to be on sale before trying this again.

Now I know this may mess up YouTuber's videos of "DIABLO 2 IS HORRIBLE!" when they clip the 0's. But oh well. Here we go!

    Connection: Haven't had a problem at all personally, however I know other have. Sorry I'm not a streamer that's sinking 12-16 hours a day into this game and constantly hoping on and off servers and games to ruin it for everyone by crashing it out. I had about a 2-3 hour window after release where I had RL obligations so when I was able to sit down and enjoy it, I was immediately immersed. The online play has had a couple rubber banding issues, but nothing that has negatively affected me. And yes there is an offline mode too. And no your offline character cannot play online. Which is good, to curbs the 20 some odd years of hacks, glitches, and malpractice the previous titled had to endure.

    Graphics are phenomenal to what they're worth. It's still just Diablo 2 but they made it pleasing to the 21st century at least. Disregard all accusations of censorship by others. Your imagination fueled what the game looked like before. You didn't know if it was a nip slip or a high cut dress in the original game anyways. The pixels made it look a little more out in the open because all all there was to separate a cleavage or a thigh. A giant line of pixels in between. Your immersion isn't ruined. You're still playing the same game. And a busty character never actually was the reason why you played the game to begin with. Gore is still there. Dark, gritty theme is still apparent. And the new character look amazing. Sorry your characters don't look like models anymore. You're playing DIablo 2 though. The characters look like they belong on a roster of veterans and badasses that are setting out on an adventure that will reshape the world. You're just finding things to complain about. Game looks amazing.

    Story and gameplay: Still Diablo 2. And what was in the OG is in D2R. And that's why the marks are as high as they are. Because the marks for the OG in my mind are roughly the same.

    Bugs: Haven't encountered any outside of an occasional rubber band. And judging by the streaming going on and multiple people well into their 80's and 90's within the first few days, Ubers groups, etc. It looks like the bugs "everyone" is experiencing is superficial. You're going to run into them regardless in any game, but it looks like the bugs in this game aren't affecting anyone too drastically. Again though, just something people are finding a reason to complain about something is all. And isn't affecting high level characters, so shouldn't affect the average person.

    I'm going to rank this game close to the same as the original. Because it deserves every merit to be ranked up there with it. An amazing game that's moving into the 21st century and something old and new players can relive, enjoy, or get into. It brings me the same joy as the OG did when I was younger. I just way more obligations in life than I did when I was like 12 to enjoy it as much as I did before. But I'll always make time for it.    … Expand

    Blizzard envisioned Diablo II with a fresh coat of paint and they delivered exactly that. D2R does exactly what's described on the tin. It's the same game I remember from my childhood writ gorgeous and with a few quality of life improvements.

    It plays exactly like the original to the point where you can literally toggle between the remastered and original game, should you let your masochistic desire for blurry pixels get the better of you. The performance could be better -- on the bare minimum game settings (@ 1440p) my RTX 1060/2600x struggles to hit a consistent 60fps, which seems puzzling for a game with so few assets. (If you're in a similar boat, switch your display mode from fullscreen to windowed and maximize said window. You'll get your buttery smooth Windows hardware cursor back no matter how poorly D2R performs "in the background.")

    Is the gameplay amazing in 2021? No. Some levels are tedious. The inventory is awkward and small. There are goofy mechanics: stamina bars, odd nomenclature (e.g. I'd forgotten that "attack rating" kinda means "hit chance"), annoying dialogue ("I'lL pUt tHaT tO goOd uSe" repeats my companion), etc. But to focus on these issues is to miss the point. Diablo II: Resurrected is explicitly a restoration project, not a greenfield project, and it delivers. If you want a new Diablo game, go follow the new Diablo game. They're on #4. There are blog posts about it and everything. Have fun.

    Does D2R have the same magic as the original? Of course not. Childhood nostalgia can't be matched. But while running though desert sands & lush forests summoning skeletons, I do feel the occasional same pangs of mystery and wonder I experienced in the original.

    The folks at Blizzard wanted to resurrect Diablo II and they did exactly that. If you want a modern hack-n-slash/RPG, pick up Hades or Grim Dawn. If you want to replay Diablo II, buy this game.    … Expand

    If your biggest gripe with a game is that some rendered pixels of a ‘beautiful amazon woman’ has been tarnished and the game is literally unplayable because you can’t have your dream girl, you seriously need to grow up. I’m so, so sad to see so many man-children show up to hate on this game.

    I want to be very clear: we will not get amazing remakes like this if petulant children throw fits like this and drag down sales because of it. We can’t let them win, and I’m here yelling in to a cavern of screams to beg you to give it a shot. The technical details of the launch were annoying, I guess, I never really experienced them as I waited a whole day to play it. Wow.

    Please, please don’t let these losers win. Fight back, support this awesome game.    … Expand

    How can someone here complain, that you are naked after death and consider himself as Diablo fan? It is not bug, it is how it was all the time! You are just kids, how wants everything easy and got all the best gear in one day - then play D3 which is also atleast 9/10 game.    … 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]
