    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

    Diablo 2 was the peak of action-roleplaygames which can now be enjoyed which better graphics. Don´t be mad about missing quality-of-life functions, that was the grind those days and a medal has to be earned in a honest way.

    Everything that made the original great, is great again!

    Some server issues at launch but all resolved now. Incredibly faithful to the original, which is testament to the brilliant game design of Diablo 2. If you loved the original, you'll love this.

    За что играют игру?
    1. Ужасный старт. С этим все ясно, почему-то все обсираются с серверами.
    2. Баги. Присутствуют, после часов 10 игры встретились всего 2 бага.. В первый раз я не мог выполнить квест, вылечилось перезапуском игры. Второй баг - не улучшалась шмотка по квест Чарси, тупо не было кнопки. Вылечился баг аналогично первому. Мне вроде повезло, у некоторых хуже, но я так понимаю, у большинства опять же были проблемы из-за лагающих серверов.
    3. TCP/IP. ОБОЖЕ ОНИ УБРАЛИ TCP/IP!!!! Вопят чуваки которые в диаблу не играли, наверное, никогда и ставят 0. Убрали и ладно, кто вообще собирается в 2021 году играть по LAN?
    4. Амазонка. Да, сделали немного "уродливей" чем в оригинале, но на релизе не тот мужик, который был на бете. В целом нормальное лицо. Суровая, но красивая женщина с копьем. В целом модели персонажей стали имхо более реалистичными. Варвар вместо лица младенца получил бритую голову, щетину и черты 35-летнего мужика. Огорчает что друид стал больше похож на барда, а некромант на прадедушку некроманта из оригинала, но я переживу.
    4. Нет поддержки модов. Меня, как человека иногда играющего в PD2, это немного огорчает. Надеюсь в будущем поддержку модов добавят.
    5. Слишком высокая цена. Тут не поспоришь. Я надеялся, что хотя бы сделают скидку обладателям оригинальной игры (которая, между прочим, на текущий момент стоит 1100 руб), как сделали с dark souls. Хрена с два.

    А теперь плюсы.
    1. Графика. Игра выглядит шикарно.
    2. Атмосфера. Имхо передали атмосферу оригинала, это ли не главное в ремастере?
    3. Нет координальных изменений, меняющих геймплей. Считаете что Д2 устарела и т.п.? Не вопрос, идите в ПОЕ. Есть куча людей, кому Д2 травится такой, какая она есть.

    В общем, имхо ремастер удался. Большинство претензий либо надуманны, либо уже не совсем актуальны, а плюсы их явно перевешивают.    … Expand

    This is a censored version of Blizzard’s classic looter.

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

    Diablo 2 is the single game I have spent the most amount of hours playing across nearly a decade of my life. D2R is a fantastic remaster of the classic game.

D2R is a fantastic remaster of the classic game. It adds a few quality of life improvements that truly make things more convenient, such as large shared stashes, while keeping a lot of the rough edges of the original game that have been eclipsed by more modern trends in gaming. Rough edges is meant in a truly positive regard, as this was pretty much the Wild West of online RPGs. The ability to transition between legacy graphics and remastered graphics really makes you have appreciation for how they managed to make the game play exactly as it did 20 years ago while drastically improving the graphics. I look forward to many hours with this game. This is a true remaster, and this is exactly what true Diablo 2 fans will love.

    Just a little sidebar comment. The review bombs on this game are a bit ridiculous. The game did experience server issues at launch, but at most, I was unable to connect to a game for 15-20 minutes on maybe three occasions - inconvenient, but not game breaking, and it will stabilize in time (plus, its truly a remastered experience of D2, which always had server problems lol). I have had the game crash two times on me, which again, inconvenient, but its not game breaking and I trust it will be fixed in updates. All of the other complaints are just ridiculous, especially from people who stated that they played the original game!    … Expand

    It has some start problems and questionable character redesign, but overall - this is a really decent remaster. VV somehow managed to overhaul all the graphics, but to keep feeling and atmosphere of the game. It looks almost like it was taken from my imagination of 20 years ago.

This is a masterfully revisited version of Diablo II, and the feature to move back and forward between the old version and new version by simply pressing a hot key is awesome.

    Secondly, in terms of minimum requirements, I had to update my Windows from 7 to 10 which was fine because it was finally the motivation I needed to move out of the stone age. Not sure, what this AVX support business is but my computer is over ten years old and still runs it so if you don't have a computer built in the stone age and runs Windows 8 or later you should be fine. My video card is super old too but still runs it with no lag whatsoever.

    Thirdly, the gameplay is just amazing, my friend and I have been crawling through dungeons, completing quests and dying innumerably. It's the way gaming was and still should be. I really don't give a damn about this TCP support, it hasn't changed anything for me, if you want a private game with friends, just create one with a password on it, problem solved. Furthermore, this game doesn't accommodate the cry babies that /gquit at the sign of any difficulty, you actually have to earn your gear and be on to it if you want to snatch up any item before some one else does.

    Fourthly, music/sound, this game is so cinematic and yet, has punchy gameplay to support it, the sound effects have a crunch that is really satisfying, the music changes to all the different terrains, perhaps you're in a dark, underground dungeon or a sprawling city, there's a soundtrack for all situations. Furthermore, All the quest givers have their own voice acted narration and speak every word, not like those half-attempted narrated games you get these days, with NPC's talking a couple of sentences then nothing more... All the voices are different too, so each voice has its own unique style.

    Fifthly, the flow, there's something about the way this game flows that is really gripping. It's not found anywhere else today and this is continuously overlooked. For example, you start off pretty much naked and exploring a cave but then get thrown into a world of lore, mystery and grandeur. You're forever wondering where the journey will take you next? Then, the low drop rate of epic items means that not every player you encounter online is a generic, overpowered God, but you will see them die all the time because of their lack of gear or experience. It's no walk in the park, and therefore there is a gritty, brutal but tactful and persevering mechanic behind its gameplay.

    Lastly, I believe this Metacritic page is getting bombed by people upset with the game. Those instant gratification types or those being insincere and creating multiple accounts to bring the rating down. Just have a look at the amount of ratings that have been placed in comparison to other games on Metacritic, it's absurd. To those people I have the following message, Blizzard have done their best to remain in communication with and provide support to all those that are having difficulty. Check out the forums, they are doing their best.

    Great job Vicarious Visions. Thank you.    … 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]
