JohnD.Oct 5, 2007Diablo II is like WoW, except good! and FUN! it's the kind of game that you love to hate and slowly become addicted too!

StephenS.Jun 7, 2004The Diablo series was one of the first real games to be released. It is a long term, exciting game series. Although the original was very fun for its time, it was out dated. The second Diablo was just perfect. But there were some hackers. Thats annoying. I still give it a 10 out of 10.

AnonymousMCAug 30, 2006Diablo 2 is an awesome game for its time. Most people dont like it cause it takes some time and effort to actually become a decent player and have a decent character (or characters). People that rate this please remember that this game was released many years ago and might not have the best graphics if that is your excuse for giving it a bad rating.

MaximusBorisAug 30, 2009One of the greatest games of all time im giving this 10 not because it earns it but because giving it somthing else would be like spitting on this great franchise.

StephenFJan 24, 2010Sheer masterpiece of hack and slashery. After going back to it to give it a play through I've found it's still just as great as I remember it. It's pathetic that people rate the game on the graphics, not because the game is so old but because the graphics was never it's real appeal.

C.B.May 16, 2003This is an awesome highly addictive game. Many say they do not like it because when you first start it is kind of discouraging to see all these other awesome players while you are stuggling to kill what they kill 10 of in one shot. Best game for any system in my opinion.

ScottW.Oct 2, 2006Very addicting. Spent hours playing this game far into the night and then the next morning. Graphics could be a bit better but don't subtract from the play all that much.

MikeF.Jul 18, 2001I think this game has everything you need for a fun time. I have been playing for days and days. I even missed many Pokemon shows just because i have been playing this game 24:7. I am only 13 and I just can't leave the computer. My dad is getting mad at me. Hehehe. I think any kid under 13 should not play this game but if your over 13 then go and get this and be like me.

TravisK.Apr 25, 2004This game takes up your time. But its well worth it so if i were you id get it and warn your family that the next 100 weekends are full.

ZachOMay 11, 2004How can anyone not like this game? some people say o it takes no skill...NO FRICKEN DUH how r they gona do ne different on the computer without making it the stupidest game alive. this game i mean it was made in 1997 give it a rest. all i have 2 say is GG.

TommyN.Sep 19, 2007This game is excellent! This game's like Runescape, but the graphic's the best, and has great weapons, armors, etc.

WaldemarTNov 15, 2008To Griper :'' Unfortunately the online component is very dead... yes some people still play, but not enough to warent picking the game up again" That is soo not true. To this day many people enjoy Diablo 2 On battle.net I have been playing Diablo for an extremely long time and the game just doesn't get boring.

[ANONYMOUS]May 13, 2009This is the absolute best mmo ever. I played this badboy for about 4 years straight. Simply put, the best (I think better than starcraft) Blizzard game yet!

-
PeterC.Dec 25, 2001A great action/RPG. Exellent gameplay. A must have. A great improvement of the prequel.
-
-
OnewithEarwaxNov 14, 2003Some inconvenient saving issues are hard to get used to, but overall Diablo II rocks! The characters are interesting, and its fun to experiment with each one.

OlegO.Nov 17, 2007Great game. Addictive as I-don't-know-what.
-
-
Aug 28, 2010THE game that demonstrated to all the brio of the best studio in the world. Never had hack'n'Slash been so good. Had to wait for WoW to spend more time on a game. Could not have been more addictive and more fun. The expansion LoD brought a lot of good addition and tweaks while keeping the essence of the game. An absolute must in PC Gaming.

May 19, 2012Way better than diablo 3. I dont see why they had to dumb down the d3 system after the formula for this game made it such a huge success. This game has great replay-ability, lots of different builds to try, and an easy way to reset stats if you mess up your build.
-
Jun 6, 2012I spent over 10 years of my life playing this game and despite of playing some modern games like Witcher or Portal, I still like to make few-days-long sessions of Diablo 2. Every few months you just feel you want to play it sooo badly...
-
Jul 5, 2011DIABLO II I could write a huge review on this because i'm a big fan but who's gonna read it anyway this is my favorite game to this day nothing tops it, NOTHING. Just waiting for Diablo III now.
-
Mar 8, 2012Many games still do not compare to the pure awesomeness and originality of this franchise. The overall fun gameplay and emersive storyline paired with groundbreaking graphics and game engine make this title immortal.

May 26, 2012Re-installed after getting shafted with Diablo 3. Yep Diablo 2 is that good after 10+ years. buy this masterpiece instead of that POS sequel. Blizzard =/= Blizzard North. Blizzard Northmade D2 and not D3. No wonder D2 is so much better.
-
May 15, 2012Well, after playing Diablo III, I decided to come back and review one of my older favorite games. This game would always have me hooked, restarting my account, getting to level 50 or so, get bored and quit. Eventually I would return and do the same exact thing... for 10 years. It's easy to say this is one of the greatest games I have ever played, and it still remains so.
-
May 14, 2012Diablo II defines the era of hack-slash-loot RPG. This is the most epic adventure ever that a decade later most games still copy its mechanisms. Grinding loot usually gets boring in JRPGs but this western classic incorporates co-op elements flawlessly and loot varies in rarity as rewards. No RPG fan should be proud without spending 200 hours in Diablo II.
-
Apr 1, 2012Este juego es epico!!!, ya es una leyenda en el mundo de los grandes, lo juego desde hace mas de 10 años y jamas me he aburido al punto de dejarlo completamente, no tengo palabras suficientes para expresar lo que es esta MASTERPIECE!!!
-
Apr 7, 2012Simply brilliant. More enjoyable than half the games in today's market. A timeless classic that I'm sure I will spend many more hours playing. I recommended it to anyone who considers themselves an RPG fan.

May 20, 2012Diablo 2 > Diablo 3 ...................................................................................................
-
May 22, 2012The most addictive action RPG ever created so far. The long term playing factor is unmatched till today. If the game wasn't compromised by bots/hacks it would still be outstanding.
-
May 25, 2012Diablo II is the best game ever. Very balance looting system: 3 different level with 3 different level of item. I would say diablo II > diablo I > diablo III

Sep 6, 2013The best action RPG ever made and still amazed by it 11 years later. It was groundbreaking in its time, and no game has met its standards yet not even Diablo III. A must play for any hardcore dungeon crawler fans.
-
Jul 18, 2015I bought this game the day it came out. I still play it all the time. My only wish is that the D2 devs and blizzard north could've had their Diablo 3.
-
Jan 5, 2013In my opinion the all time greatest game of all time. I played this game for well over a decade and i was a GOD. I bow to the creators for such a magnificent work of gaming perfection. You my friends are what make Acti-Blizzard look like fools. If i had the money i would buy the franchise, fire Jay Wilson, bring you all back and right the wrong that is D3.

Mar 8, 2014I just want to say that we are in 2014 now and that I never found a better game than Diablo 2 yet. This game made me addict to online games. This is the best way to express your agressivity. Just go PK some noobs arround in hardcore.

Jul 30, 2013I no longer support Activision /Blizzard in anyway. But this game is Amazing, and was developed by the people who made torchlight2.. If you are interested in Diablo3 don't buy that train wreck of a scam, buy this....

Your review must be at least 150 characters long.

Feb 8, 2014A legendary game, Diablo 2 is a revolution for rpg games. If you call yourself a gamer, you must play this masterpiece. Unfortunately, we can't see the same success in Diablo 3. Shame on you Blizzard!
-
Apr 5, 2014This is the greatest hack and slash game I've ever played. It has a good story, interesting setting, dark moody atmosphere, and great combat. This can be considered one of the best of this genre and really defined most modern RPG hack and slash games. It's highly addictive and still holds up to this day as you tend to forget the graphics quality and bad path finding.
-
Jul 13, 2014An RPG game for the ages. Fun fast paced combat with a variety of different skills and items. Diablo II has a great story and a good dark atmosphere to go with it. As it is over 10 years old it has aged and has a few things that are outdated, but still it holds up after all these years. Amazing replay value.

Oct 1, 2014The best game that I ever played in my life. It's a pillar of my gamer life, the style, the economic system inside the multiplayer. THe classes, the characterization, spell tree, WOW. The best hack 'n' slash created by the Blizzard.

Apr 11, 2017Nada que decir, un juego de 10 magnifico no como su continuacion diablo 3 una basura total.
El sistema de loot es magnifico, deseas encontrar legendarios por todos lados para hacerte casi inmortal -

Nov 8, 2017Diablo II is a classic of hack'n'slash, and one of the best videogame sequels of all time. A lot of people prefer it to modern titles of this genre and are playing it 17+ years after its release.
-
Apr 24, 2018There isn't much to say besides that this is one of the best hack-and-slash games ever made. The world, loot, combat are all amazing. At the time of release, it revolutionized the genre and made many people spend months on griding loot and levels. To this day, I regard this game as the king of hack-and-slash, yet to be dethroned.
-
Dec 20, 2018I've played this game many years ago. But it's still looking interesting for me. One of the best games of my childhood.
-
Dec 9, 2021What to say about this game? The king! The main reason I started to play video games back in the day. My all time favorite...
-
Mar 19, 2019This is much bigger and longer than Diablo and now it is in act's. It's huge. The story is amazing and dark. Awesome cinematics in between the act's. More heroes to choose from. The soundtracks here are great as well and the nostalgic Tristram Village sound is still there.
-
May 29, 2021A masterpiece and a classic made in a time when making games was art. Still played to this day 20 years later.
Waiting for the remaster now. -
Aug 10, 2020Awesome and addictive. Maybe a bit lacking in content if you don't like the grind, but it works perfect as it is.
-
Aug 26, 2019Probably one of the games I've returned to the most, and put the most hours in.
I've build every character to max level, farmed out the gear. Quit playing. Returned a few years later and redid it all over again. I've done this probably about 4-5 times now, because that's how good the game is.
And after playing Diablo III, I'm due for another replay of Diablo II, for sure. -

Jan 27, 2021A very fun arpg with one of the best OST among all other games. Loving the sound designs too.

Feb 6, 2020Лучшая РПГ, игра повторила успех первой части и актуальной остается и по сей день, геймплей невероятен, пусть графика покажется устаревшей, но спустя час игры не обращаешь на неё внимание. Годно! 10/10
-
May 31, 2023Hands down the best game ever made. The father of all ARPGs. Infinite replayability. It's a game that will be talked and played for centuries.

Jul 19, 2023디아블로2는 지금 게임들과 비교하면 평가가 낮겠지만 그 시대로 돌아가 평가한다면 혁신적이고 장르선도적인 놀라운 게임이다.

-
Apr 2, 2020Is an amazing game that until now April 2020 i still play on single player and battle net.
Have a lots of enjoyable thing such as gear u can find, and the design was pretty cool for its time. Just is good and better than all thing Blizzard has been making this last 10 years zz -
Jun 26, 2020this game has become the very standard of quarter-view action game and still the best of these in 2020. its rival is Path of Exile, Diablo 3, and god damn ai bots.
-
Dec 12, 2020I never played the first game, but Diablo II is maybe the most played game of my childhood. Eh how many times I got in trouble because I skipped first hour of school to play just a little more.

May 11, 2021Diablo's 88 metascore is a bit weird because as far as i can remember this game is flawless and definitely better than the original Diablo. Maybe that's just my opinion.
-
Oct 13, 2021If only they would remaster this, but keep the game as it was. I mean, back in the day I played the **** out of D2, but with today's displays, it's not really playable anymore.
20 years ago, solid 10. Now? I guess 11, compared to the recent remaster? (even the old servers are more stable then the remaster servers, nuff said?) -

Sep 27, 2021Diablo 2 was the best ARPG ever made....Resurrected is even better. 100/100 masterpiece. 4k Ultra 60fps with controller support....plays perfect and looks incredible. The detail is just so well done. Worth every cent..I will be playing it for years.
-
Oct 26, 2021This is an amazing 2020 game, I play it in single player and online.
It has a lot of nice things like the gear you can find, and the design was pretty cool for its time. It's just good and better than all of the last 10 years
Awards & Rankings
-
Held back from being an EXCELLENT game by the fact that it features no really interesting characters or roleplaying, it only has a few simple quests, its story is paper thin, it has a few technical issues, Battle.net is unreliable, and the gameplay is ultimately shallow and repetitive.
