    Лучший ремастер из всего что я видел!

    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

On the plus side, they have not changed the gameplay and mechanics. The weapons and environments look good too. The chat is nearly unusable, i can't begin to explain and understand why some design decisions were taken. It's impossible to whisper to different people and look at the chat in the game. Very hard to keep track of and frequently you end up whispering the wrong person.
    So it would have been a 6/10 review from me. 10/10 for the brilliant original mechanics, 2/10 for the "improvements", just because of the environment and weapon models, that are quite secondary.
    However... the game is barely playable. It's been plagued with issues since launch. Frequent crashes and daily server outages are the norm here. Would have been tolerant if this was some indie company with their first game and limited resources and the game probably costing less. But this is Blizzard asking 40 euro from me for a barely playable game. Therefore i am halving my score and giving it 3/10 :)
    Very likely the last Blizzard game I'm buying.    … Expand

    The lack of communication from Blizz is appalling. The game is broken several hours per day, day after day. When it comes back up, not a word from them what went wrong, what they did to fix it, etc. Not a word from them at all.

    I'm having a love/hate relationship with the game: when it's actually working, I love it. When it's broken (and this is happening every single day now, for hours and hours at a time), I hate it. I really, really hate it.

    Blizz' poor performance in provisioning resources to support its games will most definitely impact my decision to purchase their products in the future. So, no D:I or D4 for me. I hope they think how badly they've managed D2R was worth destroying this potential customer's attitude...    … Expand

    This is 2021, server tech should not be at 2004 level.
    Blizzard have thrown out a game on a really bad server. Its like they brought out the old WoW servers from 2004 to host Diabloe 2. The sever crashes every day and they keep rolling back so you lose your items and gametime.

    As per blizzard standard, they took this as a chance to attack their fans, ruin modding community, take out beloved features. It's blizzard standard bug tested- as in not at all. It's a great game under a pile of modern blizzard culture BS and decision making, I'm only shocked it didn't launch with a max level boost- but they do have pay to win gold find boosts because of course they do.

    They've done it again- taken the halfway route. They do a few good visual upgrades (lighting, background, effects are much improved, and the new cinematics are very nice), and some qol changes- relative straight forward, simple things that are enough to change the game.

    But no new maps, gameplay loop, modes, etc... because that would take effort and money, and they need their billions to buy new shredders and cameras to spy on bowls of fruit.

    Either keep the game unchanged aside from solely visual upgrades (which overall they didn't even manage), or if you're going to change things put some effort into it. As expected from the company known best for abusing their staff- Blizz wanted to have its sh*t and eat it too.    … Expand

Such a major letdown and disappointment.

    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.
