    Arnaque ! Le jeu plante constamment vers 15h depuis 5jours au moment de la rédaction de cette avis. Le jeu n'est pas stable plusieurs plantage sans raison quand les serveurs sont up. Temps de chargement extrêmement long même avec un SSD. Le prix 40€ pour la refonte graphique n'est pas justifié.

    Diablo 2 is still an amazing game, played it since 2004, but it's polluted by the laziness, the mediocrity and the censorship of bli$$ard. Game is constantly crashing, servers are dead every days for hours, poor new features, no mods support as promised, ingame chat is pure sh*t. They dont deserve such a beautiful franchise like Diablo.

    After 20 years of gathering experience of players behaviours, server traffic and all kind of issues that blizz had with D2, D2R is extremely problematic and not ready for a full release, especially for a prize of a completely new game.
    It was obvious from the very beggining that BattleNet is the most intresting feature (and not boring single player) yet Blizzard failed on the release date

    It was obvious from the very beggining that BattleNet is the most intresting feature (and not boring single player) yet Blizzard failed on the release date and keeps failing continously as the servers are running wost every day (yeh, its not like they are making some progress, 7 days of regular realm down ended up with limitations on a single server!).
    Now you need to wait in a que to play the game, a limitation the Blizz did not infom you once you buy the game and something that breaks in my honest opinion the terms and conditions under which you buy a product and gets rights yo use it freely on a daily basis!
    If you havent bought this game - DONT DO IT!
    If you alredy have - spam Blizz with refund requests each day and every day as D2R is garbage, worth maximum 5$ (just to play single) and not 40$!

    PC version is terrible unless you use remote. Also don't make an online character, you will barely ever be able to play it since the servers are almost always down. I bought this to play with my friend, but every time we go to play the servers are down. But if you want to solo it completely the game is fine. I just don't like the expensive price tag for a game you can't play half the time.

    I don't have hours and hours to play every day, so whenever i actually have an hour to play, i would prefer not to wait 30min just to log in, just to spend most of my remaining time waiting in the lobby because i joined/left a game too fast. (for the past 2 weeks i have barely been able to play the game i spend 40eu purchasing, and it feels like evey hour i spend, i get 15min of actual game time)

    So what choise do i have?
    No matter how good the game might be; if i cannot play it, its worthless.

    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.

Usually, it does not work (I can usually only play on weekends and on weekends you cannot login most of the time, even weeks after the release now). If you can login, there are many issues which should have been fixed during a beta or alpha:

    Awful service. Down the same time for several days in a row, probably around a week, with no communication or warning. Rolling back of characters with little warning. Blaming players for playing the game the wrong way to bring the servers down.

    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.

    There cannot be a server queue to wait for an hour in europe at 7AM in the morning, or other crazy times.

    Characters have been rolled back, loot has been lost, items have been duplicated due to this.

    WSG removed WTF

    Lobby system doesn't work at all, cannot even see my own character.
    Cannot select any other characters for inspection / profile either.
    Game join list is too empty, can only see like 20 games.
    Clicking a game to see how long it has been going on or how many players also barely works, and it won't even parse the game info before the list refreshes again and the previous game selection is lost again.

Blizzard REFUSES to spend any of their massive amount of recourses towards servers, and unsurprisingly the game is basically unplayable. I'm not usually one to complain but I honestly felt the need to make an account on here just to leave this review, to maybe save 1 person from wasting their money. I literally spend more time waiting in que or just not able to play at all than I'm actually able to play. The whole project just reeks of a giant cash grab from Blizzard and that really stinks.

They didn't believe me then, they called me a hater. Well. Who was right?
    1. Bending under modern trends, authors ruined the characters. The Amazon was NOT an old witch. Paladin was not a black rapper, he was ARABIAN. Assassin was not asian, she was white and vampirish. Sorceress had breasts partially bare. You did not have any right to change the characters' appearance. This is a remaster where you can only improve graphics, mechanics, sound, but not take away from players what they loved in the game.
    2. And at the same time, what should have been changed was not changed. The stamina scale was not removed, the gold collection radius was not made wider The inventory is so small that there is no place for dropping loot AT ALL.
    3. Clearly overpriced. This game is not worth this much.
    4. Cowardy distribution policy. Fearing that a single game would simply be pirated, authors made connecting to servers mandatory even for a single game. As a result, the hatred of the entire community, refunds, prohibitively low ratings and the final loss of reputation received. Man...

    I have never in my life written a review for a game, but the **** Blizzard does these days has made me do it, just so I can rate it a 0/10. Worst experience I have ever had, they are refusing my refund request, even though I cannot play the game at all because of the constant crashes , queues and disconnects. A trash company, trash product, avoid it like the plague.

These people ruined it to get EXACTLY what they wanted and they still hate it. In the end, D3 fans don't like the game and D2 fans don't like the game. On top of that, the game is almost impossible to play because of server issues. It took them a month just to implement a server queue and my average wait time is over an hour if I really want to play, being 550+ in queue. That queue does not move fast.

    So to flip things a bit, I'll save server issues for that, but these are the issues with the game:

    - Inventory management is awful
    - Inventory size is a joke
    -Town portals are expensive
    - Leveling is a total joke and takes far, far too long
    - Diablo is the most overpowered boss I've ever seen. I've yet to land a single hit on him despite having killed every single previous boss on the first try. Diablo has killed my entire party in a single stomp every time. I honestly haven't even seen him at all. he kills me from off-screen
    - Hit registration is nearly non-existent. I have a 99% chance to hit yet roughly 80% of my attacks just vanish into thin air.
    - When you play offline, the game no longer randomly generates the maps each login
    - When you play offline, the stash is reduced to barely 80% of the online stash and you have only one single page. There's enough room for your quest items, meaning the things you MUST keep, and absolutely nothing else.

    Then there's the server issues:
    - Server queue wasn't implement until recently. The switch got it yet another week later
    - Server queue length is criminal and can take in the upwards of multiple hours
    - Playing on weekends or evening is not possible. The servers are full
    - Let's not forget the rubber banding that has resulted in me getting killed multiple times and no, it is absolutely not my internet.
    - Even better, it disconnects at random. It's not all that common, but happens once or twice every other or every 3rd playthrough. Once disconnected, it's back to the queue

    I'm only playing it cause I want to finish the story, but I've already gotten refunds for my Xbox and PC. I've only got it on Switch and I only play it handheld. Docked is.....seriously ugly. I will never understand how the game runs significantly worse than D3 on identical hardware. I've also never seen a game that had not one, but TWO betas, and still managed to launch in a far worse state than the beta.

Wishing personal loot against PvE difficulty? If you find a stick and logic in this. Many people are brooming loots with macro mouse at the boss dead. Loot options are necessary like modern RPGs if this game want to be.
    - They add extra stash and shared stash
    - They add auto gold loot
    These 2 improvements already break originality and make a QoL improvement but wishing personal or timed shared loot is forbidden!!! sigh, brain dead logic. That's why people refusing to play online with others. This game is forcing you play alone which it is against all modern online gaming logic.

Not only destroying core game features, by changing the core code. (Bugs are the new features so I heard) They lack server capacity or experience, I don't know. The 20-year-old servers still run better than this **** Weeks after release, still "unplayable" because the servers are crap. Even if ur lucky and the load is not that high, you can lose progress with a rollback, because: the servers are like werewolves, they only seem to work at a full moon.

    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]
