    This is an insanely good game. I spent 2000+ hours on it since release despite the fact that I prefer games with modern sci-fi theme without heavy RPG style progression systems.

ItThis is an insanely good game. I spent 2000+ hours on it since release despite the fact that I prefer games with modern sci-fi theme without heavy RPG style progression systems. I don't like games with medieval or fantasy settings but this dark gothic horror style mixed with beautiful outdoor environments and amazing music creates an atmosphere that makes it difficult to stop playing. It is so immersive. Even simple things like standing in the town next to the campfire and organising my stash are a pleasant experience.

    It's fun to fight against the monsters that have very rewarding animations and sound effects when they take damage or die. The boss fights can be very difficult, sometimes they seem to be impossible to kill with characters that aren't levelled and geared up very well so the only choice might be retreating and coming back later with better skills or equipment (or another player with a stronger character if you play online). The upgrades to the equipment often feel powerful and meaningful. The items, the crafting and the related online economy and trading are amazing, they turn this game into a fantastic PvE looter.

    After realising how much I like this game I tried Diablo 3 too but that got boring after a hundred hours or so because it was too easy and the items were less interesting. The graphical detail and the art style are also better in Diablo 2 Resurrected.    … Expand

    The great remaster of the old love of mine. Bought three versions - Nintendo, PC and PS5. Yes it was unplayable on the Battlenet, and yes they made characters as old as the fans are right now. But god, I am writing this review after D4, bless the guys who did D2R

    Why was it necessary to make all the female characters in clothes and disfigure them. Beautiful sexy women have become either old women or freaks without breasts and asses. Ruined my favorite childhood game, don't care about my fond memories, thank you

    I think Blizzard did the massive amount of Diablo 2 fans and themselves a big favour by releasing this game. I find it plays exactly like the original but with better graphics.

When I started playing, servers were solid, and the experience was great.

    The only nagging problem I have with the game is that game finding is still a pain, with constant refreshing, and unfortunately seeing the same open games over and over again, some of them being third party sites trying to sell gold/items/whatever, and the games never seem to disappear.

    I would have given a higher rating, but during an internet outage awhile back, I wound up being unable to play the game, even single-player, because it required me to get the latest patch... which I couldn't because I had no internet. Instead, I went and played games from Steam, because at least that's a company that understands that sometimes your internet drops and doesn't force you to be online and have your games up to date... for OFFLINE play. Seems rather straightforward, but Blizzard today is no longer the company we grew up loving and rooting for.    … Expand

    Completed Diablo for the first time. Played solo. The gameplay across all acts is boring. Repetitive actions all the time. The most exciting about this game is cinematics.

    Best diablo game out so far. That has decent graphics, at least! Unfortunately.
    And for the people being angry at blizzard: The remastered version is not even made or maintaned by them. Blizzard North made the base game and Vicarious Visions made the overlay.

    On one hand: It's Diablo II.
    On the other hand: ....It's Diablo II.

    Severe technical issues and a distinct lack of design or quality-of-life improvements leave this dusty nostalgia trip choking on the dust and cobwebs from 23 years ago.

    Diablo 2 with LoD addon considered by me as a pillar of hack-and-slash games with great story, villains, music and gameplay.

Blizzard had a great chance to bring new life to the project which was released more than 20 years ago but they failed horribly. But you cannot expect from company who cares only for money and its employees who does not care what they are doing anything good. Diablo 2 Resurrected is a great example where company wants to get easy money with minimal efforts putted in the game which they did not even developed with cosmetic changes. If you think Blizzard changed anything good in the game – you horrible mistaken. Yes, they updated graphic but did not improve gameplay, did not fix many errors but bring only new, destroyed atmosphere of the game by censoring absolutely anything (blood, naked parts NPC and player, made player character ugly as hell) – even some spell’s animation looks even worse than back in 2000. If you ever loved Diablo 2 you will bring great respect to the developers of original game by not buying this garbage – do not bring any money to the company who just want to do nothing but steal your money by using your nostalgic feelings.… Expand

    I liked the game, but playing it alone was not a good experience for me - I will play with my friends later.

    I was having fun at some point, but then the game started to feel kinda repetitive. With friends, I wouldn't care, but playing solo evidenced it. Also, the storytelling could be better. I felt so disconnected from it, even trying to understand and engage as hard as I could.

    And the gameplay? well, it probably can be changed, but moving my character with Mouse 1 was weird and irresponsible several times. Give me WASD, please. Also, since my KB is 60%, I couldn't bind the powers, which limited me to use just two at the same time. Graphic-wise, the remake was dope tho.    … Expand

    Pretty good remaster in general. It got downvoted hard because of connectivity issues (which are still present, but way less severe), model design changes, some bugs (e.g. GPU usage) are annoying.

    But It's still old good diablo 2 in a modern wrap. Probably one of few good Blizzard releases in a couple last years. Because they haven't ruined the core of the game, lol.

    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]
