    After 10 hours played Diablo 2: Ressurected. I can say this remaster has a HIGH QUALITY! Better Graphics then Diablo 3.

    Thank you Blizzard.

    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. 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.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. 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

    Multiplayer in the game does not work 48 hours after starting the servers.
    Otherwise, probably a good remaster to try out, of course, which was not fully possible.

    This original game is the one of the many reasons why I didn't do well in High School 20 years ago: D.

    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).

    Sorry, but the game is great. Sure, It's missing TCP/IP connectivity, which it losses 1 point for. But the 9/10 is an ironclad review of a great remaster, that surely will give all fans, and newcomers alike a great experience.

    This is exactly what i was looking for in a remaster of this legendary game.

    Great graphics, sounds and those cinematic's, goosebumps.

    Even though modding has been dumped on i cannot allow that to take away from what a great remaster this is.

    Nostalgia overload.

    Reproducing the original work faithfully. Diablo 2 was an actual masterpiece back then, and exactly contrary to WC3:Reforged, D2R is quite a good remaster. Mostly because the original game is so excellent, but D2R is recommendable just by reflecting it well.

    This game deserves a 10 out of 10 for being a perfect remaster of a beloved classic. Besides a few hiccups at launch day the game has been running smoothly and the polish and love for the source material really shines.

    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

    At least it's not Warcraft 3 Reforged...Vicarious Visions did an excellent job here reviving perhaps the greatest ARPG ever. Love the cross-progression but where is the cross play? Hopefully it's coming. Otherwise this would be a 9.

    Better looking version of the gold oe game.... Really! It is the same game! - including the bugs. Can you imagine how screwed up this is: Selling a 20 year old game with better graphics for 2/3 of a full-prize game and not even bothering to fix game-breaking bugs. This is the state of Blizzard in a nutshell for you. Living quite literaly from the past.

    Adding a 10 here to offset the turbo virgins who apparently all decided to buy this remaster to see their favorite female characters visually enhanced.

    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]
