    bought it - no difference with old version. The only change is network implementation and as the result ANNOYING LAG! This is NOT worth to buy. This game bored me 10years ago and that was a big mistake to buy it.

    I am not an original Diablo 2 Player but discovered Diablo 3 some years ago and understood quiet quickly why everybody loves thise game series. So i wanted to get Diablo 2 Resurrected too and was looking forward to play it on the weekend. The Beta seemed to work just fine for everybody, so what could go wrong.
    Looks like a decent plan, doesnt it?

    Looks like a decent plan, doesnt it?
    But like for thousands of other players, my game doesnt even launch. You press "Play", the button turns to "is playing" just to transform back into its initial state. No window, no menu, no nothing.
    There's a rumor that the problem might be some AVX implementation that older processors cant run but that was never mentionned in the requirements (but i am a total noob regarding IT and PC, so i dont quiet understand whats the not-instantly-repairable problem here).
    And while this game suffers not only from problems mentionned above but also from deleted or rollbacked characters, characters stucked in servers without being playable for hours and the usual launch-bugs & -glitches.... well, Blizzard thought it would be a very nice idea to take our money and then taking the weekend off, without any Day&Nightshift during first launchdays.
    You might be willing to say that also devs need some time off after hard work. Yes, you are right.
    Also devs should take days off after hard work....if there was hard work. A game and this state has nothing, really nothing to do with hard and honest work. And apparently, they did not even fix the problems mentionned by the players during the beta. Changing the look of the characters to the worse, yes, that seemed to be their priority, though.
    You know, i dont gonna say anything regarding CEOs and investors because i would not say anything nice about them. And yes, maybe moneygreedy Blizzard thought that this remastered Cashgrab didnt need enough devs to be great and maybe the team was just to small to make it work eventually. But if this is what you as developers are bringing to the table after months and years of (re-)work....then you deserve the crunch.
    Blizzard was once the holy grail of the game-industry. But that seems to be over, unfortunately. What's left is just a empty shell of a great gaming-company sleeping on its wornout franchises, not going with the time regarding crossplay (which should be / is standard now for most multiplayer games but isnt implemented in Diablo 2: Resurrected), destroyed by its bad reputation, ruled by moneygreedy losers that need the money because they dont have anything else to brag about, filled with devs without any love and passion, not able to get a simply remastered version of an 20 years old game running for most people...
    What's left to say? Well, i cant say anything more about the game because on the 4th day after launch, i cant still get it running. And at Blizzard, nobody seems to care but that's no wonder, they all took their weekend off...
    If you are in the same situation as me but really want to know what the game is like,...then go watch all those unemployed clowns named "streamers" getting paid for playing videogames and apparently getting their own set of servers, because they all seem to have no problems running and playing this game while others, MANY others, cant even launch this piece of crap.    … Expand

Но Blizzard/VV это показалось нелогичным и они стали позиционировать свой новый продукт (После провального WarCraft 3: Refunded) как монстра Франкенштейна, говоря во всех интервью о неких 70/30.
    Подразумевали они под этим выборочные изменения,которые только они считают нужным. Доделать 4 обрезанный акт?Разнообразить геймплей?Исправить старые баги?Баланс персонажей?Интерфейс более удобный и современный?Убрать рудименты?Сундук с десятками вкладок?Больше заданий на акты?Добавить что-то из популярных модов? Не, это нам не под силу, мы не коверкаем оригинал, мы уважаем своих фанатов и классику!

    А цензура насилия (Игра +18 про Ад и тёмное фэнтези)? Сменить расу некоторым персонажам (Убийцы азиатки, а Паладин стереотипный афроамериканец)? Сделать героев очень старыми? Испортить им анимации (Вы видели как бегает Амазонка? А некромант, едва волочащий ноги?)? Исковеркать лица? Изуродовать женских персонажей и врагов? Удалить TCP/IT и игру без подключения к интернету? Сделать недоступными любые OC, кроме Win 10? Облажаться на старте с серверами при отлично работающих альфе/бете?Изуродовать графику ориг. игры, чтобы ремастер смотрелся лучше? Закрыть задницы демонам и женщинам всякими юбками и штанами? Соврать, что дизайн и лица спорных персонажей будут переделаны, а в трейлерах просто изменить освещение? Добавить огромный экран с персонажем в меню игры? Не переносить лицо Изендры из Diablo 3 для Сорки, а придумать новое? Убрать поддержку модов? Это же именно то, чего так не хватало оригиналу!

    Безусловно, графика и спецэффекты сделаны замечательно, звук тоже. Спасибо за русскую озвучку. Но они не должны были портить лор и дизайнерские решения оригинала (Персонажей можно было не старить, Амазонку не превращать в мужика с уродской анимацией бега и выпадами копья, азиатские черты и афроамериканские для Убийцы и Паладина, цензуру оставить опцией, которую можно было бы выключать в меню). Я люблю, соответствие изначальному замыслу (Кто-то говорил, почему меня не смущала азиатка Сорка из D3? Но ведь её задумали такой изначально!) Если вы коверкаете героев, то почему оставляете им старую озвучку? Разве качок Чарси разговаривала бы с нами таким милым голосом? А Амазонка?). Амазонка была молодой и красивой? Сделайте её такой и в ремастере, Герои были молоды, ибо они только-только начинали свой путь, не имея с собой ничего.

    Я очень хотел бы поставить D2R высокую оценку, но это дело принципа, ибо только низкой оценкой можно хоть как-то достучаться до компании (Десятки популярных тем на оф. форуме не помогли, попробуем иначе). Самое обидное, что все эти внешние изменения можно было сделать банальной опцией,    … Expand

It is infuriating if you get the message “The Character is already in a game” when it is not true. There are also cases were launching the game crashes it. Other issues are vanishing items, freezes, connection problems and slowdowns atop of some gameplay glitches. I advice you to wait a few weeks until it is patched or just play the original game. The patches seem to take a while as Blizzard is still figuring out how to solve the issues. Diablo 2 is a great game with a huge legacy but in this state even that can prevent a low rating. I loved the game and do not even know how many hours I have played in all the years. It is a shame that games were released in such a state and people even defending it. You would never do this with a new car that does not work or just randomly. I conclude this with: Just wait until it is in a playable state and rethink if you should really defend such awful practices.… Expand

    I have invested around 25 hours in the game. However, I have lost all my progress/item/experience of my "offline" character, TWICE, due to problems in Blizzard servers. The only thing a game should provide is to keep this safe and it did not. I do not want to continue playing a game knowing that my efforts will be undone with no follow up support. I requested a refund.

    In general good graphics update though sadly with some changes to original game ideas.
    If it's ok to make such changes to so many characters why it's not ok to also fix some problems that the original game has and that were fixed by mods created by players?

    Unfortunately, it's hard to enjoy that game because of constant problems with servers: it's not fun to lose your progress again and again.

    You fight an enemy for the promise of more runes drop than anywhere else, you can't teleport cause you don't have said runes, so you tediously walk in hordes of useless mobs that drop nothing but can almost kill you at every step, when you get to the boss, you spam your hammers like crazy only to realize you are not in that location and enemies are not dying. Suddenly after 5+ seconds you get teleported in another location and there is fire and **** under you so you die quickly. Now you have to get your corpse back, your mercenary is **** even d3 mercs are stronger, unless you pay tons of money or have pure luck and get 1-2 ultra rare runes. So you can die 100 times like I did at Baal finishing hell finally, trying to get your corpse, while your merc ignores monsters and pretends not to see you are getting hit. Immune enemies, immune to everything or at least 3 elements, to make sure your character can't kill them.

    I have the best internet in the world, 1 Gbps for over 10 years, never crashes, 40 ping, still lags and bugs out and gets stuck all the time. Fantrash be like "only way to play is hardcore" hahahahahahahaha, **** off and die with your game.

    Stay away from this, it's already cracked, so basically all the benefits minus the lag and wasting money.
    Sets and uniques are all garbage. Unless you get those 1-2 specific good ones for your character.
    At least in D3 you can farm up with the worst set and get to a decent location where you can farm, and by farm I mean ACTUALLY BEING ABLE TO DODGE PROJECTILES, SPELLS AND EVEN MELEE, IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY GET DECENT DROPS YOU CAN DISENCHANT, why is there even gold in D2 is beyond me. To ****ing lose it when you die, lose 1/4 of all your gold, even tho you can hide your gold in your shared tabs, but nah, let's still make them lose gold. You could drop it on the ground but the ****ty small indie company servers might **** you and you crash and lose it all. Or it might just disappear for some reason.

    Horrible game, outdated mechanics, for morons and fangays. Enemies that explode and take 99% of your life for no reason, because armor doesn't exist, just "dodge" lmao. At least you no longer instantly die to elite packs when you kill them, like I remember in the old D2. But enemies and yourself can hit enemies in MELEE from 5m away, cause **** logic and lag or basically the creatures are bugged.

    The only reason people love this so much is nostalgia, back when there was nothing better to play. And we had low expectations.

Unfortunately, everything that needed to be improved upon is still the same. And the core of it all is still a prehistoric fossil of a game in every way that matters.

    Basic uninspired itemization at the front of this so-called resurrection that merely serves as a painful reminder of why vanilla Diablo 2 is such a bore. This is made even more painfully obvious by the fact that LAN play was ripped out of the game before release, which destroyed the game's modability.

    Mods are the ONLY reason why this prehistoric fossil lasted this long, because they added fresh content and gave us hundreds or even thousands more hours of overall playtime. And MODS is what D2R needed to excel and be somewhat relevant for more than a year.

    After all, it's still the exact same ancient game that everyone and their granny has played to death already. Other than the graphical filter there is NOTHING new about it. No one in their right mind would play through the story more than once. Other than the handful of fossils who are still stuck in the 90s, that is, whose opinions are as relevant as those of people who have never played the game.

    I hadn't touched the original Diablo 2 in over a decade, yet even that couldn't prevent the brain-rot that seeped in soon after I started my first toon in D2R. The urge to delete said toon & uninstall the game was becoming stronger and stronger, until I could no longer force myself to play past Tristram.

    So I deleted my toon and I uninstalled D2R. It's b-o-r-i-n-g, its gameplay systems are dreadfully antiquated and its itemization is godawful. Made even worse by the fact we can't rely on a proper mod to fix any of that, and we are at the mercy of the whims of a moronic dev team.

The removal of TCP/IP further taints this game. Also, Blizzard didn't care to have a way to port in your data from the beta, so you are forced to start fresh, that is IF you can play the game without being disconnected. Such a major letdown and disappointment. Although you can play offline, there is something wrong about paying $40 for a game that you feel has to constantly be online and even fails at trying to do that.

    Now, about the game. It looks georgous. They added lights reflections, shadows, new models, improved sound. Everything is polished to the highest level. In the old version when you were fighting enemies, sometimes you had too look at your opponent name on the health bar to figure out who or what are you fighting. In Ressurected version every enemy, weapon, item and NPC received brand new 3D model and it looks stunning.

    I'm not sure how new, younger gamers will find Diablo 2: Ressurected, but honestly they don't have to like it and that's all right. On the other hand there is an army of players who love it, who played it around original D2 release and wha come back to the new version with a huge smile on their faces, while being soothed by the overwhelming, warm wave of nostalgia.

    Long story short, I think that this acRPG is one of the best remasters that lately I had pleasure to play.

    On my first play I created an Amazon and soon there were 8 players in game hacking and slashing from A1 Q1, and we played together for hours.

    It is visually stunning, I keep myself zooming in to see all the details that were missing from the original. From time to time I switch with a press of a button to see how the original game looked like. Because in my imagination it always looked like in Resurrected, but then the harsh reality comes when I see how simplistic the original was. Resurrected is filled with life, the flags in the city are moving, even the sounds are more detailed and dynamic, as you switch between the old and the remastered version you can clearly hear the difference. They really paid attention to the smallest details.

    I had no issue playing with 8 players together, network connectivity was flawless in EU. So multiplayer works well, don't listen to the negative voices and reviews.

    Auto gold pickup is a very welcome change, and the best is that it's optional.

    If you loved the original there's nothing to complain about this version, it's the same experience with better visuals and sounds. I totally recommend to everyone who loved D2, you'll experience those childhood memories again!    … Expand

    Can't trust anything Blizzard releases nowadays, after the Warcraft 3 fiasco they manage to screw up the Diablo 2 remaster as well. How can they be so incompetent nowadays?

Кто заплатит за моё потраченное время? За не оправданные ожидания? За прямой обман? 0/10 это ещё высокая оценка для такой игры, нужно отрицательный показатель ввести. Никогда и не за что больше у Blizzard ни чего не куплю!… Expand

    Excellent overhaul to an already excellent classic. Server stability has been pretty good so far. The gameplay feels much tighter and smoother than before. The quality of life improvements are great, not necessary if you like the classic style but still welcome for convenience sake.

The gameplay feels much tighter and smoother than before. The quality of life improvements are great, not necessary if you like the classic style but still welcome for convenience sake. Character models are decent and if you don't like them, they are covered in armor which is much more stylized and personalized looking with the remaster. People complaining and giving it a 0 due to initial performance bugs obviously aren't familiar with wildly popular launch titles on launch day, in a week the servers will stabilize like always. They are the same people that will end up playing this game for 500-1000+ hours and enjoy the hell out of it without ever changing their review to reflect that.

    10/10 It's just what the player base asked for - D2 with a fresh coat of paint while still preserving the core gameplay that made this game an all time classic.    … 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

    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: Resurrection is outdated return of the legend, but it brings such a perfect atmosphere and such a wonderful audiovisual processing, that serie fans will be excited.

    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]
