    Lag, crashes, censorship, worse character models than the original, bugs, long queues, crashes, no tcp/ip, game creation timers...did I mention crashes that send you into a 30 minute+ queue? Blizzard sold everyone the same car they sold 20 years ago, except it has a paint job, and a worse engine, and more problems than their 20 year old car.

    It's almost like blizzard made this game this bad intentionally. Blizzard had over 20 YEARS to come up with ideas, and this is all we get? Absolutely awful, and an utter DISGRACE to the Diablo franchise. Will not buy D4, as I have lost all semblance of trust for Activision.    … Expand

    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

    I was happy to go back to this game which I played so much a few years ago.
    I'm extremely disappointed, I was one of those who couldn't play when it was launched because of a bug related to the generation of the processor (the beta was working), it started badly.
    The pinnacle was also to implement a queuing system to enter a game, because Bnet did not want to invest in other servers.    I was happy to go back to this game which I played so much a few years ago.

    For me the drop rates of certain objects, even runes, have dropped, I made two HL characters, the first and second season, not even had battle boots or a herald, on the other hand I have enough to fill several accounts of sigon set found in hell.
    All that to say that this game is too expensive for a remake, and it is just thought to keep sites like D2JSP (lamer site) or the use of bots going.

    They said it wasnt supposed to be in there. They said they were working on a fix. Yet other things keep getting fixed and this keeps getting put on a back burner. Now theyve tried blaming us for not meeting system requirements which we do. Many cant even get refunds back as some "game masters" refuse to issue them. Ive seen some terrible launches. D3. Many of the WoW expansions. Cyberpunk. Fallout 76. This is by far the worst and most disappointing. They managed to destroy a remaster and bone their oldest supporters. They keep banning people on twitter who even bring it up. This company no longer has any clue about what loyalty or accountability is. So if youre running a cpu thats 10 to 13 years old, dont buy it. You cant play. If you dont like companies who cater to streamers and screw their most loyal customers. Then dont buy anything blizzard related ever again. The development teams we knew and loved back in the day are long gone anyhow. This new generation of bliz devs just suck. Mind you Im not deducting points for anything other than the current state of the game and blizzards terrible response to it. If it ever gets fixed, ill be more than happy to revisit my review. Until then. 0!    … Expand

    Resurrected my Metacritic log-in to rate this steaming pile of crap. I swore an auth after Fallout 76 to never pre-order again and to never support a game broken at launch. Refunded on day 1. No more chances. Billion dollar studios are not allowed to sell you a broken **** anymore.

    The new graphics are spectacular, the rest is as good as ever. A few small QOL improvements like a bigger, shared stash and auto gold pickup make this the best version of an all time classic game.

    When the customers are treated in such way it is hard to believe that all the latest scandals are not true, seems like the atmosphere of harassment, even sexual once and of humiliation is normal for this company. Earning billions of profit the company deliberately does not hire Q&A engineers to release decent version of workable product.

    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]
