    I've played Diablo II on and off since it released in 1999, along with its expansion in 2001.

I cannot believe that a remaster of this game that has given me such entertainment for literal thousands of hours was released this poorly and sloppily. With a plethora of bugs even after a beta period, consistent crashes to desktop, rolling back character progress, server lag, and the worst of them all; servers simply being down so you are unable to play.

    These were some of the same problems that plagued Diablo III when it first released which resulted in my brother and I refunding our preordered copies. I was so disgusted with the poor remaster of this game that I decided to refund it as well. It turns out that Blizzard is so worried about the game's financial performance that they will refuse to give customers unhappy with their purchase satisfaction.

    I will never play another Blizzard game again. They managed to rope me back in to this one as it was promised to just be a simple remaster of one of my favorite games of all time; back when Blizzard had integrity and wasn't controlled by Activision. Never again. I'm so angry and disappointed with this whole process that I hope the game fails financially and I hope it teaches them a lesson to treat their customers with respect.    … Expand

Trash company that don't care about their players/customers at all.

    Biggest disappointment of the gaming year 2021. It worse because the actual game itself is indeed alot of fun. Shame ActiBlizz is the publisher (meaning they just suck at providing any kind of service).

    Don't toss the greedy swine more gold - look into something else that you can actually play after you bought it.    … Expand

    Gave it a 0 not because the game is literally unplayable (servers down), but because the way Blizzard handles this is absolutely atrocious. The only communication we get is the same ctrl+c + ctrl+v "We apologize for any inconvenience". It is as if they are not even trying to communicate.

    These servers issues are horrible, way worse than back in the days. Not only is playing an issue, with drops, characters missing, but also losing progress and loot after server fails. I can't believe they can screw up this much in 2021...!

    DO NOT BUY THIS GAME SINCE IT IS UNPLAYABLE

    I was very excited to play Diablo II Resurrected like a lot of the loyal customer base. The graphics looked nice and we knew what we could expect from the story/dungeons/loot since most of us already play it or have played it for a long time. It was therefore an absolute dissappointment to see what a disaster this release has been. So far    DO NOT BUY THIS GAME SINCE IT IS UNPLAYABLE

    It was therefore an absolute dissappointment to see what a disaster this release has been.
    So far this has been my experience or the experience of a lot of the player base.

    First week:
    First 3 days

    Log-in issues making the game unplayable (character is already in game while it is not for multiple hours…)
    Not fixing of the aformetnioned bug except for some important streamers.
    Bugs
    Bots spamming the chat channel with dubious sites to trade items
    Insane downtime (up to 7 hours until the servers were reset)
    Servers (especially on EU) booting you every now and then for no reason, even if your PC has top-tier tech.

    Next weeks:

    Servers crashing on a daily bases causing up to 7 hours downtime a day
    Unstable servers when they are up, booting you out of the system, infuriating people even more (especially on EU)
    Bugs of all sorts, which frankly shouldn’t even be in a beta version of a game.
    Horadric cubes (key item in the game) gone missing after server rollbacks forcing you to do a quest again, sometimes with valuable items in it.
    Items being deleted after rollbacks, aside from horadric cubes
    Bots still spamming the chat channels while nothing is being done about it.
    A complete lack of communication whatsoever what exactly is going on from Blizzards site or when it will be sorted out.
    Very poor customer support
    -…
    After almost a month, all of this is very shameful coming from a company that used to be good, disrespectful to any customer who put up 40 € for the game, and borderline breaking some EU-rules on customer rights.

    No matter how much I loved the old D II and the old blizzard who took care of their fan base I can not recommend this game to anyone who wants to have a fun time. At this moment it is not a game. It is unplayable code. Save yourself 40 € or $ and go to the pub instead or have fun playing another game that actually works.    … Expand

    The stash is d3 but we sure would have loved to have this back then. no complains there.

    the skills are even more broken than the usa right now. sorc can over come cold immune but a level 35 conviction skill can’t even break any immunities( good bye infinity) even in normal mode. yesterday it hink.

    players abusing the use of controller support and turbo mode to even outclick the bots ( you gotta have one hell of a turbo for this)
    players scamming each others off and using d2jsp to crank up the prices. i got asked a pdrac for a lum rune and a shako for a io… or i can simply buy off my gears for 1800 usd for a breastplate enigma, 900 usd for a spirit and the best is that blizzard wont do anything about it.

    no help from players, well mostly no help from sorceress since everybody plays one, i main nec and auradin, rip because conviction…

    ladder will not have anything to offer since each and every runeword, cube upgrade and items are ALREADY in non ladder mode.
    constant crashes and server downs… i can crash just by scrolling through the chat, game list or just by touching my keyboard. this game has a stability thats even worst than FO76.

    region locked, because i chose to play in north america AKA the whole mfing usa and canada and the only thing i get are french canadian based players. after further testing its actually true. i played for 5 hours straight in over 200 different games. all were from quebec, english speaker or french speaker.

    PEOPLE CONSTANTLY COMPLAINING THAT D2 IS NOT LIKE D3, POE, ESO and that they cant be fed gears!!! asking for the game to become like d3 poe and the trademarket of ESO!

    the new trend of storming games for 3 months and leaving afterward but before that the new gen of players destroy a game completly and only comes back every now and then to see new content and leave the game bleeding out…

    the fact that blizzard censors everyone that points out broken game mechanics the moment they point it out, its literally like they have a paid army of people flagging everyone that says something that isnt : oh thats awesome me want more.    … Expand

    Today I've just lost all my progress. Yeap, that's it. Leveling, legendary items, time - all's gone. There's no char-vanish-issue, no. There's a rollback, so my character was about 75 lvl now it's 21 with proper item progress. That's all you need to know about this "astonishing" release.

    Almost a month after it's release, and the game is still experiencing daily server crashes. Technical support is a joke, they are unable or unwilling to fix the problems. Better to stay away, at current state it's not worth a single penny.

    The game is ok, albeit a bit repetative.

    But, the servers are almost never working, stuck in an endless login queue. If you are lucky and manage to log in, you will crash or disconnect after a few minutes of play.
    Here, have a rating of zero, as the game is UNPLAYABLE.

    I loved the original game, played it a lot between 2000 and 2006. I gave this a try. In my first 48 hours, servers were up for barely 4, and after playing for 4 hours my online character got deleted and support says nothing they can do to recover due to their broken servers. stay away !

    Ok, the game itself is fine. The graphics, the music, everything is nice. There are even such small details as characters turning their heads in the direction of a random bat flying under the roof of a cave. They didn't touch anything gameplay-wise. It's the same game we love with all its flaws. I realize this is a remaster, not a remake, I didn't expect any other changes or improvements.Ok, the game itself is fine.

They didn't touch anything gameplay-wise. It's the same game we love with all its flaws. I realize this is a remaster, not a remake, I didn't expect any other changes or improvements. I just wanted to play it again with my friends.

    But (of course, there's a 'but') the technical state of the game is just below the line. It crashes a lot. Like, a lot. Sometimes several times in an hour. And it's not my hardware. I use Ryzen 7 3800X, RTX 3070, and 32 GB of RAM. It's the only application/game on my PC that has these problems. I can play any other game for hours, but not D2R. Just check the official forums. A lot of people have the same problem.

    Then there are the battle.net servers. They go down all the time. There are constant rollbacks tied to these events. It's been three weeks since the release, and instead of improving, the situation actually became worse. Now it's the fourth day in a row where servers go down for hours with a rollback hitting everyone afterward. People lose progress, time, and patience. This is accompanied by absolutely zero communication from their Support. They just copy-paste the same "we are investigating, apologies for any inconvenience" tweets over and over again leaving users in the dark. No details are given whatsoever. Is it safe to play, or will I lose gear again? Exactly what is happening? Why do you face the same problem over and over again? Blizzard refuses refunds (again, check the official forums, a lot of people want a refund). People are left with a sore taste of disappointment, unable to do anything about it.

    I would gladly give a semi-positive review if I could only play the game in the short timespans between "maintenances".

    Unfortunately, most of the time I attempt playing it, there is maintenance.
    This conveniently happens mostly on weekends, when I have the time to play the game.
    The gameplay itself is mostly fine - glitchy from time to time. The quests often fail to complete when in a party.

    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]
