    There are little changes. They claim there are little of them to preserve the original look of the game, it would seem to be nice and all if the game wasn't that bad. I mean, like, not the diablo 2 itself, but the resurrected version of it. You always need an online connection to play this game. And guess what? The servers are pure **** There are down half of the times, the other half of the times there are any type of login problems. Hey! You made it! You've logged in! Now it's time to play the game, yes? Well, no. You gonna play it for an hour, or two, or three. Or unless the servers will be down once again. And when you eventually (in a couple of hours) log back, you will have nothing. No character, no progress, nothing. Because the servers are **** and there was a rollback and now your character is gone.

    If you want to play the game, just pirate it. I mean it. Or play the original diablo 2. Oh. wait, they removed the original game from the store. Well, time to pirate it too.    … Expand

    Game is well designed game developed by Vicarious Visions and published by Activision and it shows.
    Their servers are going down every couple of hours, rollbacks and even reports of missing characters.
    Dont waste money on this, just use Pluggy

    Unplayable game, you easily can waste a lot of time on character and later understand that you lost your entire progress (several times).

    It is currently unplayable. Yeah i understand there are server issues but right now the server issues are causing characters to lose progress and ITEMS BEING DELETED FROM YOUR INVENTORY/STASH.
    Did a bunch of farming servers go down and when I log back in runes I found a couple of days prior are gone, inventory is rearranged. FIX THIS GARBAGE

    Gameplay is not terrible, however there's always server issues and lag. I've lost characters and progress to this now. Essentially it's impossible to play until Blizzard actually decides to care and make an effort to fix their servers but that will never happen so this game just can't be recommended. Sigh.

    Generally not working. Disconnects, item rollbacks every day. The game crashes every two hours at least. UI slow and laggy. Problems persist for three weeks and nobody cares. Weekend playtime is like zero because servers are constantly down.

    Hate it, I loved the original but this remake has too many flaws to count. I just bought this game TWO DAYS AGO and played for two hours all because the server. For example I waited all morning, couldn’t get on. After two hours I got on than was kicked and I can’t get back on again. This game is trash

    EDIT: It's been 3 weeks of login server reboots, this is unacceptable. At least give me the option to use TCP IP, ****

    Despite some minor bug this is a worthy remaster, however this is not the re-imagining or re-balance some people expected.
    The graphics are beautiful and faithful to the original, I would give this a 10 if there weren't a few annoying bugs many days after the initial release.

    I am so split on writing this review. On the one hand, my nostalgia is real for this game. I love the updated graphics and the game plays almost identically to the original. No problem. A+. However, I've experienced several game crashes and constant Battle.net server issues. As in some times I can't play the 20 year old game that I paid $40 for. This is unacceptable.

    There's so much broken at the moment that I can not recommend this at all.

    Blizzard does not provide refunds for bugged games. My level 36 character is missing. On my ssd, the game loads it 100%. The game starts in 5 minutes. The support team is sent to the forum to resolve issues. I will certainly survive this, and the company has become a slop.

    Quite underwhelming mostly because of pressure of a vocal minority of rabid fans that did not want the game changed.

    In teh end we have teh same old Diablo 2 with a fresh coat of paint and an inferior version of PlugY embedded and to add salt into the wound it is now an online only game and you need to log in to battle.net to play offline.

    Don't get me wrong, Diablo 2 is a masterpiece but it is not like it disapeared all of a sudden, it is still very alive and playable. As such I would have liked Vicarious Visions to try and spice things up a little making the game more modern in some aspects and try and alleviate the flaws of the original product.

    Act 3 is still teh same shore, mana early game is as bad as it always was forcing you to fill your inventory with mana pots, well all the flaws are still here.

    Graphically, it is amazing and looks great sadly it does play like the 21 years old game Diablo 2 is. A missed opportunity in my book.

    Still I very much enjoy replaying Diablo 2 but it is worth it only for fans of the game, new comers should look el;sewhere (Grim Dawn, PoE, Last Epoch) as it is rough, a diamond nontheless, Diablo 2 is still a masterpiece but it is clearly a remaster and not a remake.    … Expand

    I looked around on the Diablo forums and found that this has actually happened to a lot of people, some of who have even lost high level characters entirely.
    Knowing that you can lose all your progress out of the blue is effectively making this game unplayable, and I'm lowering my score to the lowest possible amount to reflect my dissatisfaction.

    Original review:

    True to the original, in a bad way.

    Diablo II was great back in the days, but gaming has evolved a lot since then and some concepts have since been abandoned for a reason. Blizzard had the chance here to make some great and well needed gameplay improvements to make the game live up to today's standards, but instead chose to cater to all the whiny fanboys out there who start crying the moment something isn't exactly the way it used to be.

    Here are a few annoyances:

    1. The inventory is ridiculously tiny. With no way of expanding it, you're forced to either skip most of the loot you find or teleport back and forth to town extremely often.

    2. Ranged ammunition is expendable, and a single stack of arrows/bolts take up roughly 10% of your total inventory space.

    3. Potions are single use and each take up one slot in your inventory. There's also no way to move potions automatically from the inventory to your belt (where they must be in order to use a hotkey for them), so you have to move them manually, one by one.

    4. Stamina is limited and runs out very quickly, forcing you to walk at a snail's pace while it slowly recharges.

    5. Gamepad controls are subpar. Diablo 3 worked great with a controller, but in this game, you're forced into using a cursor that you move around with the thumbstick. Considering the amount of inventory management in this game, this is a major issue.

    6. You drop all your gear when you die. Unless you're keeping an extra set of equipment in your inventory or stash for these occasions, you'll have to fight any enemies you encounter during your corpse run in the nude.

    Every single one of my gripes about Diablo II: Resurrected are a matter of gameplay mechanics that should have been improved but haven't. If they'd just given us a bigger inventory, unlimited stamina and ammunition and some slightly better gamepad controls, this would've been a great remaster. Now, it's highly mediocre and I find myself lacking the motivation to continue playing.    … Expand

    Play for an hour, get disconnected, re-connect, re-discover the same path again, hoping not to get disconnected before you find the waypoint. Beta quality.
    Updated Oct 9: and yet again, after a 2-3 hour session, when I took a break to logout, I had lost all progress and loot for that session. Still beta quality!

    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]
