    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Как себе возможно такое позволять, просить деньги за игру которая просто не работает, не говоря уже, что фан сообщество из оригинала смогла сделать игру лучше чем это непотребство. В общем очередной крестовый поход метелицы и Боби котика за бабло человечества и против всего хорошего и доброго что осталось в игровом мире. 0 из 1000000 баллов, стыд. Повторение истории Варкрафт рефанд эдишен

    Can't trust anything Blizzard releases nowadays, after the Warcraft 3 fiasco they manage to screw up the Diablo 2 remaster as well. How can they be so incompetent nowadays? Maybe because all the competent people left after they merged with Activision. I gave it a 4 because this one is somewhat fixable, unlike the Warcraft 3 Reforge which was a complete disaster through and through.

    Откопали труп 10 летней давности, с мертвым геймплеем и мертвым жанром. Прикрутили ко всему этому графику 2010 года и продают за 2к рублей!

    The nostalgic feeling I get form thinking about this RTS trend setter for so many games. Made me start getting into the genre I will never leave. Just epic.

    I am not an original Diablo 2 Player but discovered Diablo 3 some years ago and understood quiet quickly why everybody loves thise game series. So i wanted to get Diablo 2 Resurrected too and was looking forward to play it on the weekend. The Beta seemed to work just fine for everybody, so what could go wrong.
    Looks like a decent plan, doesnt it?

    Looks like a decent plan, doesnt it?
    But like for thousands of other players, my game doesnt even launch. You press "Play", the button turns to "is playing" just to transform back into its initial state. No window, no menu, no nothing.
    There's a rumor that the problem might be some AVX implementation that older processors cant run but that was never mentionned in the requirements (but i am a total noob regarding IT and PC, so i dont quiet understand whats the not-instantly-repairable problem here).
    And while this game suffers not only from problems mentionned above but also from deleted or rollbacked characters, characters stucked in servers without being playable for hours and the usual launch-bugs & -glitches.... well, Blizzard thought it would be a very nice idea to take our money and then taking the weekend off, without any Day&Nightshift during first launchdays.
    You might be willing to say that also devs need some time off after hard work. Yes, you are right.
    Also devs should take days off after hard work....if there was hard work. A game and this state has nothing, really nothing to do with hard and honest work. And apparently, they did not even fix the problems mentionned by the players during the beta. Changing the look of the characters to the worse, yes, that seemed to be their priority, though.
    You know, i dont gonna say anything regarding CEOs and investors because i would not say anything nice about them. And yes, maybe moneygreedy Blizzard thought that this remastered Cashgrab didnt need enough devs to be great and maybe the team was just to small to make it work eventually. But if this is what you as developers are bringing to the table after months and years of (re-)work....then you deserve the crunch.
    Blizzard was once the holy grail of the game-industry. But that seems to be over, unfortunately. What's left is just a empty shell of a great gaming-company sleeping on its wornout franchises, not going with the time regarding crossplay (which should be / is standard now for most multiplayer games but isnt implemented in Diablo 2: Resurrected), destroyed by its bad reputation, ruled by moneygreedy losers that need the money because they dont have anything else to brag about, filled with devs without any love and passion, not able to get a simply remastered version of an 20 years old game running for most people...
    What's left to say? Well, i cant say anything more about the game because on the 4th day after launch, i cant still get it running. And at Blizzard, nobody seems to care but that's no wonder, they all took their weekend off...
    If you are in the same situation as me but really want to know what the game is like,...then go watch all those unemployed clowns named "streamers" getting paid for playing videogames and apparently getting their own set of servers, because they all seem to have no problems running and playing this game while others, MANY others, cant even launch this piece of crap.    … Expand

    This game is exactly what the fanbase asked for, and I am sure that is what divides opinions.

    If the worst majority of negative comments about a game are that the characters in the character select menu are not as pretty as the older ones, you know people are grasping at straws about the actual game.
    I can't judge the comments made about servers and multiplayer though, as I have only played the game in single player mode (like back in the day) and not encountered any issues, and I can't and won't deduct points for issues I am not encountering.
    I also will not deduct any points for political and social issues plaguing Blizzard/Activision, this game was made by a big team, overwhelmingly filled with people who are not to blame for these issues, and boycotting/reviewbombing a game they likely spent a good chunk of the past years on is just unfair if the game is what it is supposed to.    … Expand

    Great remaster. It's just like when we were kids, only with new graphics. Definitely going to hang on to this game for a couple of weeks until I pump all the characters.

    This is one of the best games I've ever played. It is like the original, but just with awsome graphics. It looks exactly like I imagined it in 2002. The launch was ok imho. The complains are ridiculous imho: I was not able to play the game online for 1 day. Then it was possible and worked well

    DON'T TRUST THESE REVIEW BOMBERS. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    D2 Resurrected is just D2 HD edition with new graphics. And also, have you tried playing D2 last year? No one played. The remastered edition has breathed fresh air into the game which will keep it alive for a few years longer and that is great because D2 is a great game.

    I don't know what ppl were expecting... D4? Go play that when it comes out. This is only D2 as advertised and it plays great, works great, graphics look awesome and also you can switch between legacy and modern graphic with the touch of a button. I guess ppl are butthurt cuz they have to pay a little bit (40 pounds is a little steep but for a legendary game like D2 it's worth it as it's one of the best games that ever came out)

    Go buy it and play it or at least wait untl a price drop. But i don't advice that. Save money and buy it ASAP.    … Expand

    - disgusting lagging servers
    - ugly censored female characters
    - cancellation of declared support for ultra-wide monitors at the last moment
    - remove TCP / IP and bind to Battle.net.
    - removal of mod support

    Pros:
    - It's better than d3
    - graphics are decent - no modern stupid gameplay mechanics - controller support and zoom are killer features! Cons: - new visual design is mostly not good enough - character and gear design is completely horrible and non-autentic - I'm playing only in old graphic mode and melee with gamepad can be painful but it's still fine though - performance is    Pros:

    So if you loved D2/D2Lod you should love to play D2R.

I never ran into them yet on hardcore mode offline mode. Now for the Offline mode I believe that the score is at least a 10/10 must buy. There hasn't been any crashes none at all.

Thanks to my new pc up to 2,000$ that this game runs 60 frames per second with rtx level... making it shinny. For old computers I highly not recommend this because you must lower your setting and don't burn out your computer parts.

    For for online it's clearly a 4/10 due to disconnecting... (pack with players and blizzard hasn't stress test the online version of the game. That is the only thing that needs fixing and hope they do this soon.

    I'm more of a single player game so I say that to be fair I think this is an 8/10 so far they still need to improve the remaster online multiplayer a little more. As a veteran I always play solo anyway due to bad connections for internet. I just hope it's not to late to have single player for diablo 4 when it releases because I wouldn't be playing it because of it's online mechanics. Shame and sad though.    … Expand

    Game doesn't launch. Very long loading time and multiple of my characters have been deleted. I have had 3 characters so far being rolled back by more than 5 hours which have ruined the launch for me. Lot of lies from blizzard too where they stated they will fix the characters loading in before the loading screen. Ruining hardcore experience for the players.

    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]
