    Хорошо сделаны ремастер, не сломали оригинал. Получил огромное удовольствие от перепрохождения так полюбившейся игры, ни разу не пожалел о потраченных деньгах, игра хорошо смотрится даже спустя 20 лет

    Объективно - шедевр, это идеальный пример, как нужно делать ремастер старых игр. Поставил бы 9 за редкие, совсем незначительные баги, но т.к. на игру необоснованно напали "вечнонедовольные" то это железно 10/10

    This is a remaster done right. Graphically it's very similar to the 2d ones, but in 3d. They've added some new features, which in my opinion haven't really broken anything (picking up gold, shared item box).

    When I think Blizzard, I always remember the cinematics for Diablo 2 & Warcraft 3 and as a return to form they are fantastic.

    Overall this is a fantastic and near perfect remaster as one could wish for.    … Expand

    Firstly, I love that, this game has not forgotten its roots. This is a masterfully revisited version of Diablo II, and the feature to move back and forward between the old version and new version by simply pressing a hot key is awesome.

This is a masterfully revisited version of Diablo II, and the feature to move back and forward between the old version and new version by simply pressing a hot key is awesome.

    Secondly, in terms of minimum requirements, I had to update my Windows from 7 to 10 which was fine because it was finally the motivation I needed to move out of the stone age. Not sure, what this AVX support business is but my computer is over ten years old and still runs it so if you don't have a computer built in the stone age and runs Windows 8 or later you should be fine. My video card is super old too but still runs it with no lag whatsoever.

    Thirdly, the gameplay is just amazing, my friend and I have been crawling through dungeons, completing quests and dying innumerably. It's the way gaming was and still should be. I really don't give a damn about this TCP support, it hasn't changed anything for me, if you want a private game with friends, just create one with a password on it, problem solved. Furthermore, this game doesn't accommodate the cry babies that /gquit at the sign of any difficulty, you actually have to earn your gear and be on to it if you want to snatch up any item before some one else does.

    Fourthly, music/sound, this game is so cinematic and yet, has punchy gameplay to support it, the sound effects have a crunch that is really satisfying, the music changes to all the different terrains, perhaps you're in a dark, underground dungeon or a sprawling city, there's a soundtrack for all situations. Furthermore, All the quest givers have their own voice acted narration and speak every word, not like those half-attempted narrated games you get these days, with NPC's talking a couple of sentences then nothing more... All the voices are different too, so each voice has its own unique style.

    Fifthly, the flow, there's something about the way this game flows that is really gripping. It's not found anywhere else today and this is continuously overlooked. For example, you start off pretty much naked and exploring a cave but then get thrown into a world of lore, mystery and grandeur. You're forever wondering where the journey will take you next? Then, the low drop rate of epic items means that not every player you encounter online is a generic, overpowered God, but you will see them die all the time because of their lack of gear or experience. It's no walk in the park, and therefore there is a gritty, brutal but tactful and persevering mechanic behind its gameplay.

    Lastly, I believe this Metacritic page is getting bombed by people upset with the game. Those instant gratification types or those being insincere and creating multiple accounts to bring the rating down. Just have a look at the amount of ratings that have been placed in comparison to other games on Metacritic, it's absurd. To those people I have the following message, Blizzard have done their best to remain in communication with and provide support to all those that are having difficulty. Check out the forums, they are doing their best.

    Great job Vicarious Visions. Thank you.    … Expand

    EDIT - Note the organised campaign against Blizzard and D2:R - resulting in people grouping up to thumbs down every positive review, and thumbs up every negative one. Such a lack of objectivity is why gaming review sites don't mean much these days!

Such a lack of objectivity is why gaming review sites don't mean much these days!

    First off, I would urge you to ignore all of the review bombs from people with such a sense of entitlement and a disconnect from reality that they expected the launch of a new online multiplayer game to have zero issues, immediately at launch.

    Anyone that's gamed for a decent number of years knows to sit back for the first few hours and chill, though with that said I was able to play immediately at launch for a period of 90 minutes, until a maintenance window rolled out that sorted the server issues and off I was playing again thereafter.

    Secondly, this game runs like an absolute dream on a non-potato PC, for example:

    1) I've not experienced a single instance of FPS drop
    2) I haven't once lost my connection
    3) Only 1 single game crash in almost 1 week of playing.
    4) No technical issues in anyway whatsoever

    This game does EXACTLY what it says on the tin, it's a remaster of an all time classic and possibly the best ever ARPG, with some added improvements such as shared stash, ladder runewords included in non ladder, the Lord of Destruction Expansion bundled in and some awesome looking new character models.

    I love the fact that you can press 'G' at any point to toggle between old and new graphics too, this really shows how great a job they've done.

    The core game is still exactly the same and I've been thoroughly enjoying my time on it thus far. Player base seems huge, plenty of people and games around to trade, haven't seen any bots at all yet and the experience since launch has been all round awesome.

    I'm extremely hard pressed to understand why some people are leaving bad reviews because:

    - They can't see certain body parts of female characters anymore.
    - They expected no maintenance or issue fixing upon immediate launch
    - They aren't able to abuse other players in game by swearing at them anymore
    - They are leaving negative reviews on any Blizzard game, due to a totally separate issue that Blizzard have been facing recently.

    The user scores on this sight are NOT a reflection on the game or the launch whatsoever, they are a reflection of how entitled a lot of gamers have become, and how a mass of people will group together to target a game made by a company with review bombs, based on a completely separate issue.

    Great game, no issues at all, works exactly as expected - this is coming from someone who took a week off work to play it the minute it launched, so I already have a very high number of hours put in.

    You won't regret purchasing this game, it's brilliant!    … Expand

The game balance is really good and difficult enough to be challenging your first play-through. I also played this on PC and Switch for various reasons and find those ports to be just as good (Switch can't do 60 FPS though). Other reviews here are complaining about server issues but I expect that it will be resolved and I also assume all the bad reviews won't be revisited once the servers are fixed so you should probably ignore them.… Expand

    Diablo II: Resurrected is a highly polished yet functionally almost identical remaster of the original Diablo II. Depending on your expectations, that's either a good or a bad thing. Mechnically, this can feel archaic at times, missing the variety from games that have been inspired by it and improved on the formula in many ways. However, it's also a classic for a reason; no other game in this genre, at all, including Diablo 3, Grim Dawn, Path of Exile, Titan Quest etc. etc. etc. has nailed the in game aesthetic and immersive experience of Diablo 2. It is just fantastic in this respect.

    For me, I just wanted what I got - a remaster that left it largely alone. So for me, it scores highly. If you expected something mechanically improved or whatever, I can understand maybe a 6 or a 7... but this shouldn't be scoring any less from anyone.    … Expand

    Oh yeah, before I go F*CK Activision-Blizzard leadership for what they did to their employees (specifically the women who worked under them), for their anti-consumer practices, for horrible workplace culture. Everything bad that happens to them is deserved, and I hope those who worked under these circumstances maintain their jobs or easily find new ones. That aside, Vicarious Visions did this game justice, and I appreciate it.

Complaints from buffoons unable to figure out how to hotkey function keys, and upset there isn't a tutorial for a very easy game to learn (which would take away from the great immersion and mood of the game). Other complaints are from whackjobs who expected a fully new experience in a remastered classic video game! They want personal loot, handshake PVP so their feelings don't get hurt when another player kills them, soulbound items, greater rifts, endgame maps, increased drop rates so they're getting a unique drop every few seconds, and more! Well there is already a game out there with this. It's called Diablo 3. So why can't they just go play that instead of trying to ruin the fun for the rest of us with better tastes? Then they come on here and downvote this masterpiece giving it a zero, which is an absolutely ridiculous score for such great work Vicarious Visions put into this game.

    - compatibility with modern systems (widescreen, resolution, networking)
    - updating the graphics

    The first point is the most important one, because the original Diablo 2 simply did not run on a modern system anymore (not without tweaking it more than simply installing the old CDs)

    The second point - ... well, it certainly got an update. Its graphics are modernized - and admittedly better than Diablo III - that is more detailed, less cartoon-ish. Especially the reflections and the light and shadow play is amazing (in levels like catacombs or similar)

    I would not say the graphics really up top of the line though. They "feel" about as good as the old graphics "felt" when it originally came out. (which is .. good enough, not amazing) - models look better, the environment looks better but still like the original one (so, it is a very faithful remaster) - the animations however are kind of bad - even compared to the old one. (they feel less dynamic and really unnaturally stiff)

    All in all, it is very nice to see a "dark" Diablo game with contemporary graphics .. that is challenging and well balanced.

    I am sorry to say that Diablo III, compared to Diablo II is like a "my little pony mod pack" on super easy difficulty. In fact .. i find Diablo III late game content about as challenging as a mobile app clicker game .. while Diablo II takes skill and situational judgement as well as thought (because you cannot simply respec on the go)

    A certain 9/10 for me (well, in the early days .. it has massive server problems, but i would not vote it down for it - as those are bound to get fixed soon enough)    … Expand

I highly recommend this game to new & old players and encourage people to play Offline and research the game online to understand the many game mechanics.

    When D2+LoD were new, I only ever cleared Normal before moving on to other games. With Resurrected, I walked through every act of every difficulty as a Hammerdin with a Summonmancer in coop.

With Resurrected, I walked through every act of every difficulty as a Hammerdin with a Summonmancer in coop. This game is in serious need of balancing - you will have areas with next to no enemies in them, then enter one with 15+ long-range casters who will kill you before you can react, because you get hit by so much at once. When I had my damage aura on, I was oneshotting most enemies (I followed a build), and the Summonmancer I was with (who was also following a guide) was doing next to nothing for the entirety of hell. Some builds just aren't viable for long-term and it's brutal that they didn't have a balancing patch at launch for this.

    I'm on a GTX 1070 and max the game out with 60fps @ 1080p, but whenever I'm in the open areas of Act V, even with no enemies on the screen, I will get around 40fps, even if I lower settings, always the same fps. Seems like a bug. My Summonmancer would have enemies in River of Flame (Act IV area) show up as black boxes rather than enemies, so played through that area with legacy graphics so they could actually see what was going on.

    Drop rates need to be buffed, I'm really not interested in being one of these people who farms for 20 hours without getting anything they're after, and I also don't see how it's fun that you have people who can put in 15 minutes and get godly drops just because the rates for endgame gear being absolutely abysmal and some people getting extremely lucky.

    I played with a controller and it feels superior to M&K (since movement is better and you have more skills available with one button press) except for a few things: One, in general it can be a bit of a pain to target specific items to pickup, so if you're trying for specific pickups before M&K players, good luck. Also sometimes I would just not be able to pick up an item because it was stuck in a wall, so I would either have to switch to mouse for it or have my Summonmancer coop buddy pick it up and trade it to me. The other issue with controller is the interact button prioritizes summons over interacting with other things for some reason, so if you have a bunch of summons on an item, merchant, stash or TP, you won't be able to use them, as hitting the interact button will just move you to the summon. I have no idea why this is the way it is, it feels like a blatant oversight and it would only get more complicated in 8 player games with multiple summon characters. Also you cannot move the map with controller, you can do this with the arrow keys on keyboard but on controller this should be bound to moving right stick.

    The new graphics are amazing, the gameplay is still good enough, but it's rough in a lot of areas and the only reason the game didn't get the overhaul it deserves is because of all the sticks in the mud who would whine and complain about any updates, even though they can always stick to the legacy version if that's what they prefer. Hopefully improvements come moving forward, as-is it's fun but know that you're going to have to deal with some oldschool garbage and not 100% perfect controller support - they thought of most things with controller, but not everything.    … Expand

    Quality of Life Improvements
    Progression
    Cons
    Time consuming
    Stressful
    Difficult for the uninitiated

    I say improved art, but I loved going back to the old artwork. The imperfect graphics actually made the game look a lot scarier. It’s really hard to outdo the original graphics, but the new ones did a satisfactory job simply being “modern.” The reason why this is a massive pro is that I can’t stand the font of old Diablo. It would legitimately prevent me from playing the game. The changes made to the game made it more friendly to newcomers.
    Diablo II excels at the grind for gear. It takes hours upon hours. But the game’s theme of hell and the gameplay is actually very clever. You grind for rare gear (people would hate me for making this comparison, but this is how it feels for me) which feels an awful lot like shiny hunting in Pokemon. Players fight wave after wave, exit the game, and do it again. Over and over and over again. You beat the game, and you start over—only to realize that the game’s gotten harder. You complete the same quests, fight the same bosses, the same monsters, everything again, except they deal much more damage and can take a lot more punishment. It’s kind of how I’d imagine hell would be—a lack of change—and it’s brilliant. The classes are diverse, and you can tackle the game at your own pace.
    Death is punishing as you might lose all your hard-earned gear you grinded hours for. It’s fun I guess, but I can tell you I had to spend 5 or so hours at times trying to recover gear after dying. Quitting was not an option because I would lose a lot more than 5 hours worth of gear. It’s something I could do without personally.
    Newcomers of the game won’t strategize properly for the final difficulty where monsters can have total immunities. It’s important to strategize and have multiple sources of damage. Otherwise some battles will take a very, very long time.
    All in all, playing this game, I recognize why it’s considered a gem (especially when looking at the old graphics). It is also coop which means you can strategize and tackle the game with friends, though the game does not support cross play. Even if the price tag seems a little high, it will no doubt occasionally go on sale. I am optimistic about the future of the genre, but Diablo II celebrates all the good from the good old days.. If you are into the genre, Diablo II Resurrected is a pretty safe bet.    … Expand

    2. Баги. Присутствуют, после часов 10 игры встретились всего 2 бага.. В первый раз я не мог выполнить квест, вылечилось перезапуском игры. Второй баг - не улучшалась шмотка по квест Чарси, тупо не было кнопки. Вылечился баг аналогично первому. Мне вроде повезло, у некоторых хуже, но я так понимаю, у большинства опять же были проблемы из-за лагающих серверов.

В целом модели персонажей стали имхо более реалистичными. Варвар вместо лица младенца получил бритую голову, щетину и черты 35-летнего мужика. Огорчает что друид стал больше похож на барда, а некромант на прадедушку некроманта из оригинала, но я переживу.
    4. Нет поддержки модов. Меня, как человека иногда играющего в PD2, это немного огорчает. Надеюсь в будущем поддержку модов добавят.
    5. Слишком высокая цена. Тут не поспоришь. Я надеялся, что хотя бы сделают скидку обладателям оригинальной игры (которая, между прочим, на текущий момент стоит 1100 руб), как сделали с dark souls. Хрена с два.

    А теперь плюсы.
    1. Графика. Игра выглядит шикарно.
    2. Атмосфера. Имхо передали атмосферу оригинала, это ли не главное в ремастере?

    + beautiful, up-to-date graphic - including all models, levels and even polished items and gear,
    + high resolution, completely remade movies,
    + all original squeaking, yelling and moaning of monsters kept, the fallens mumbling "bishibosh", so is so funny,
    + the original D2 atmosphere is preserved: 1st act full of dungeons, murky woods and gloomy catacombs, act 2 with it's sunburned deserts, full of ancient Egypt-like tombs, and rainforest, just epic
    + incredible satisfying combat, especially Hell difficult, requiring not only smashing keys, gear, but often specific tactic to counter given monsters resistances,
    + repetitiveness in positive way - you have 7 unique classes to master with 3 different skill trees, you can even make a axe-throwing barbarian, though no guarantees you are going to finish a game with it,
    + Finally, it does not require Internet connection to play offline - i was playing offline characters during servers maintenance yesterday (26.09 19:30-22:30), just turned off Internet connection and no authentication was required or whatsoever,

    Cons
    - the Stash is to small, you still have to create "mule" characters if you want to collect gear for other characters,
    - the mercenaries still behave in a dumb way - attacking souls in act IV or barricades instead of monsters, should be given better AI with stance - defensive, offensive, passive etc.,
    - well I can agree with some people asking for TCP/IP games (why the heck you have removed that)?,
    - a minor bugs regarding monster AI, some of them just stare at, while you are slaughtering them, a more aggressive stance during hell nightmare-hell difficulty would be welcome.

    Well, this is it, I am returning to butcher the demons on hell difficulty with my meteorb sorc and then going to enjoy the game with Assa, Javazon and IK barbarian and probably Ele or Shapeshifting build dru ;) So see you in about 3-6 months ;)    … Expand

    Great nostalgic game for me, and a great new game for my fiance. Absolutely love it minus the few issues on day 1 which were fixed in the first couple hours for the most part.

    It’s Diablo 2 with an OK’ish coat of new paint. Honestly don’t know what I was expecting. If you were a fan of it back in the day or are just really bored with 40 bucks burning a hole in your pocket, then I’d say grab it. If not, just play POE.

    На деле же, всё с игрой нормально. Твёрдая 8-ка. Есть недочёты, но где их нет?

    The game is still great and even better with the small QoL improvement like the increased stash or not getting closed out from cow king. I have not had any mayor problems playing. Graphics are absolutely beautiful. Complainers armada cant drown out the quality of the work put into this game.

    Just as remembered. Can't believe I can play d2 without pain in my eyes. Can't believe it looked so bad, when I tried d2r first time, this was exactly how i was remembering it. How cool it is how imagination works. Outstanding job truly, some quality of life things could be added, but, damn, I live it!!!

    Reading the negative reviews for this game is just embarrassing. Its sad that this game is getting absolutely bombed by fools and sexual inebriates. Like... people are seriously upset about breast size and females not being "attractive" enough... its crazy. The developers did an awesome job of maintaining the dark Gothic art style of the original game and the character models fit right in.Reading the negative reviews for this game is just embarrassing.

The developers did an awesome job of maintaining the dark Gothic art style of the original game and the character models fit right in. I really hope Diablo IV is like this game rather than Diablo III, because I find this game so much more appealing from both gameplay and aesthetic perspectives. Also this game runs very well, I've played through the campaign with 2 characters and have hardly encountered any bugs (like 2).

    I can see newcomers not enjying this game because the gameplay/mechanics feel outdated, but this game is a remaster, not a remake... so its to be expected. I'm having an absolute blast playing this game. Vicarious Visions did an outstanding job!    … Expand

I think the game give what I just wanted, network do suck, I lost connect more than one time which made me feel anger and disgusting, but still , I will give this game 8 score, server's problem is just a short time issue, it can be fixed, no reason to give 0 score just because of this.… Expand

    A great remaster that I think is playable by both new and existing players. I love the new graphics and sounds. They're faithful to the original and actually enhance the experience.

    I don't care too much about what some people are saying about older character faces. You don't focus on your character's face when playing, and heroes can be older too. About the only thing I could wish for is a better performance. The graphics are amazing because of the spot on art style, not because they're so state of the art. Their level of technical complexity should get higher framerates.    … Expand

    Stop review bombing this game. You really have nothing to complain about. You’re probably inventing bugs that don’t exist cause you don’t know how to program a simple HTML document let alone write a game in a language like C++. This game stayed true to the original and I love the new graphics. I missed Diablo 2 and it’s great to see it back.

Having said that, you do get the feeling that Blizzard was SO affraid to piss off their fans, that they actually didn't upgrade the game enough. Nothing that makes you feel like you're gaming in modern era. No loot filters no expanded inventory (tp back to camp every 2,5 minutes), no auto pickups of certain parts, pretty frustrating death mechanics etc. However, you do get EXACTLY what you pay for: Diablo 2 in a new jacket. Not a new Diablo game. Therefore, I think this is a solid 7. Not a single point more, because of their fear to actually improve the game, but no less because they actually did not f it up.… Expand

The launch weeks have been plagued with server issues and queues which is a shame. I'm mostly an offline player but I can understand the frustration people have.

    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]
