    Reskin with little change to original. All in all a good idea.

    Huge amounts of bugs. Rediculous server problems, game crashes at completely random times. Server queue wait times are a joke. Low queue number extreme wait time, followed by common failure to connect when complete or crash soon after getting onto server.

    No hope in sight.

    Место в очереди 237, жду 30 минут что-бы войти в игру. Персонажи пропадают, а затем появляются заново. Что за херня у вас с серверами?!

    Great game..but you can't play it because servers are almost always dead. It od pathetic that you have to pay so much for this and you can only use it offline...I can't believe that Blizzard/activision has fallen so low that it can't even provide at least decent product anymore. Last time you took my money.

    1+ hour queue simulator made from 20 years ago. The server disconnects quite often and the game crashes multiple times a week.

    Absolute incompetence on the dev team. Implementing a queue system on a game that crashes every 30 minutes. Wait an hour to play, crash in a few minutes, then get to wait in another hour+ queue. Ridiculous and whoever decided this should not be in a leadership role.

    Blizzards long que times and poor servers. It’s been 20 years and they weren’t “expecting” players to play this way the have been for 20 years? Ok.

    The server issues have made the game unplayable on console with no communication from Blizzard. It's unfortunate but the game is only okay if you enjoy offline and even then it has some serious bad bugs with shared stash inventory disappearing.

    is only playable offline, there's a high risk to play online thinking every time u will get disconnected from the server, is so disgusting. plus that is a few bugs, no too critical but still...

    The game itself is great and looks very good. I have spent in the original Diablo 2 handreds of hours. And now after I purchased the remaster I have loved to play more. But I can't.
    World of Queues. Thanks Blizzard for the state of the servers...

    First and foremost, the graphics of the game are great, VV did a amazing job with it. That’s it for the good news

    Now it’s time for the bad news. Even on the newer console (Xbox series s) it runs into various problems, and we can get to the other systems here in a little bit. On the series s, it often runs into animation problems, there are many examples of this. The ghosts and spectres lose their colour/all ghost animation so they just look like floating bones, you can’t see any of your sorceress skills, pally skills, curses, etc which can ruin intense gameplay moments when you don’t know if you should be attacking or not because you don’t know if you are cursed. The only way to fix that was to restart the game, which used to be a easy-ish fix, now with the new queue patch they added, toss that out the window. Waits of 100-200 people, sometimes more, which have equaled almost an hour of wait time in some cases, result in extreme frustration. They also do not allow you to play your Sp account while you wait in queue, and for those who want to get in a Diablo experience while still waiting for the online mode to finally work again, this cannot even be the case anymore. Another common glitch that occurred to me is when I took a town portal, occasionally my game would crash. It never used to bother me that much but now with the introduction of the queue, it’s a prospect that fills me with gamer dread when I see my game accidentally crash, wondering how long it will be until I can get back in now.

    Now some problems with the older generation of consoles. None of them better hope to ever actually complete Uber’s at all. Also don’t even think of playing Hc because there are issues that are 100% not your fault. I’ve seen others connection interruptions kill their hc characters cause they can’t react before they drop. Also in regards to the Uber thing (this statement also applies to small condensed areas, with waypoints, temples, portals, etc) it used to be that your character was immune until you fully loaded, now your character loads in before you officially do, making you easy pickings for the monsters that are sometimes there. People are often dead before they are fully loaded in and given a chance to react, making many basic interactions (going through portals or down and stairs/level of dungeon) a interruption of gameplay rather then a smooth transitional one.

    This review I wrote entirely on my phone, I am not a fast Texter or typer on my phone and my grammar isn’t the best. Yet I was able to write this entire review, along with putting my phone down, going to wash some dishes, making 2 coffees and cooking some food, come back in a queue that started at 131 and still have 20 people in front of me waiting to get in. 7/10 if the game didn’t have the queue now and didn’t have connection issues before/now. The graphic fails was a letdown before, now with the queue it’s 10x worse. Also the fact with the older consoles not doing so well, + the servers and them not letting people making new games as fast and other stuff… I hesitate to give it a 1/10… I mean the last point defiantly belongs to VV and I can’t take that away from them, they deserve that much atleast :/ otherwise 0/10 cause the queue wait is one of the worse things ever    … Expand

    Very good game if you played D2 twenty years ago.

    But, It's been 3 or 4 weeks I can't play (like so many others) because of connexions problems. If I want to play, I have to wait 1 hour and half every time. So I can't play and Blizzard refuse refunding because I have already played at the beginning.... What a shame...

    At first, a lot of server issues, and now it's nearly confirmed we'll have waiting queues forever which last also forever (and are as/more annoying than server issues).

    The graphics from the remaster are nice, that's why I put 1 point because the game is ruined by blizzard and the servers / old code from 2000s.

    Now, for the bad stuff. Sadly the game is practically unplayable. There are constant queues to connect to Battle.net, even if you get in you can expect frequent disconnects, switching characters generates an error making you restart the game and queue again. Moreover, there is a constant general lag in the game, much worse than 21 years ago, with monsters killing you through the walls, this kind of playful behavior. And do not even try to teleport around, you are bound to end up in a wall, crash the game, or randomly die! And the lobby is the worst of all, joining an actual game is nigh impossible. instead, you get one of the long list of errors when you try to connect to a game. Refreshing the game info doesn't work most of the time either, so if you want to see if the Baalrun-x-05 is an old game lasting 10 minutes or a fresh run you have to guess.

    If you are reading this do not buy the game. You will just end up like me: frustrated, tired, and angry at Blizzard. It has just been a huge waste of my time, ended up refunding the game. One positive thing can be said about the refund process - painless and fast.    … Expand

    Constant disconnects and random crashes (Especially after killing named enemies), ruins the flow of the game in a major way.

    Graphics are good and the legacy mode is a neat feature, but the stability is beyond atrocious.

    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]
