    8/10. This game is an absolute classic, and due to the immense amount of variation in builds and styles, this game is still a load of fun to play.

    The graphics suck for today's age, true, but it came out *eleven* years ago. It's still a great game, although I don't like the latter system on battle net in the slightest. Diablo 3 failed to live up to this game, so I bounced back to it    8/10.

    When i first played this on my friends computer. I was hooked from the start. The atmosphere with the music. Monsters creaming when slayed. And i was never actually an RPG fan to begin with.

    A 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!

    An 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 As it is over 10 years old it has aged and has a few things that are outdated, but still it holds up after all these years.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.

    The 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.

    I didn't try multi-player, but I still think this review isn't beside the point. Diablo 2 is a great single-player game, I know every bitmap of it, and I would lay may hands on it anytime again - if it wouldn't take so much of my precious time. It has excellent sound and music, its own kind of beauty, and "levels" that are interesting every time you replay the game.

I love the atmosphere and the almost perfect gameplay, with lots of interesting play styles available.

    Almost perfect, because: Even after lots of patches, the skill tree system is not beginner-friendly. Instead, to shape a successful character, you need to read guides on the web, learn from the experiences of others. Or you will lose very much time when you find out that your choices are punished by the game.

    Also, you cannot really NOT die in this game (although there is a hardcore mode). O, I will never forget these moments where everthink seemed fine - only to find myself hit by a nasty fiend with some weird combination of enchantments, taking all you life with one stroke... such a game cannot get a 10. Still, I know every bitmap of it.    … Expand

    This 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.

    A new patch makes Diablo II playable on OS X, and thusly the first time since I've played it in 2002. It still holds up and is a tremendously better game than Diablo III.

    Un buen juego que mejora varios elementos de su predecesor (el arbol de habilidades, las pociones, los hechizos, los caracteres), pero malogra otros (la atmosfera y la historia pierden penumbra y horror, la jugabilidad se torna repetitiva en varias ocasiones, la dificultad no siempre es justa).

Anyone who has ploughed through acts 3, 4 and 5 in Hell mode has my deepest sympathies.

    While the combat animations are smooth and attractive, the graphics would only be pushing the envelope 5 years ago and can only be considered average now.

Music is, so far, both immersive and interesting although sounds are a very mixed bag. Voice acting has some good quality to it, but the animations of NPCs in dialogue are spartan at best. If it was possible to alt-tab during dialogue and still hear the voices, I'd do it. You gain nothing by watching the visuals. As others have said, the skill trees have been "stream lined". I put that in quotes because, as we all know, simplifying something for the sake of simplifying doesn't make a game better. Blizzard assumed their average player was too stupid to handle anything even remotely complex or with any depth. After browsing the Battle.net forums, I'm inclined to agree with them. While I would have given this game a 7/10 for "Average" I am forced to lower the score substantially after their launch debacle. Blizzard chose to make Single Player require a permanent online connection. While this in and of itself is a setback for consumer rights, it reached cluster-f*** status when the entire first day of release the servers were going down every 15-30 minutes and staying down for hours on end. Every single person who told everyone "Don't bother pre-ordering, it's going to be a f***-up anyway" was 100% right.

Simply killing monsters and collecting items is fun for quite a while, but by the time you reach the third act, it gets quite boring. The skill system is cool, but it is very easy to completely mess up your character and have the wrong skill combo. The combat is either extremely easy or insanely hard, there isn't really an in-between. at one point your slaughtering enemies and then a special monster comes and nearly kills you. Altogether, this game was fun for a while, but got boring soon. This game is best for those who don't like thinking much and just want to battle.

    This game is good as in "it got me addicted for 3 years". However, what made it hard to enjoy is that the game is unbalanced. I'm sure Blizzard wanted all players to try out different character classes. However, everyone went and picked either an Amazon or a Sorceress just because they were the top 2 classes in Diablo in terms of MvP (Monster vs player) and PvP (Player vs Player).

You no longer move at an elderly pace, and some classes can even move across the screen within a second or two. Skill trees are fresh and offer new strategy and customization. Stacked belt slots create new and exciting potion mashing in a way that attempts to ameliorate the broken, simplistic gameplay like never before. Fortunately it's so easy to exploit design loopholes (even despite the horribly simple design) that the difficulty of the previous game is only a slight issue. Also new in this version is 640x480 resolution (gasp!) that really brings the visual acuity to a level never before seen, except perhaps 10 years prior and ever since. Basically the graphics are as awful as they could possibly be with the title still considered to be AAA. The expansion brings the resolution up to 800x600. A few months after that (in 2001), Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance came out, on a console no less, with graphics that are comparable to the now imminent Diablo 3 (estimated to be released in 2011 or 2012). You can see the trend here. But Blizzard does not focus on graphics! They focus on innovative new gameplay. There had never been a game with similar gameplay to Diablo 2 before... lol.

    An old game that has been little or no support from Blizzard (they support WOW, not this old crappy game) whenever they DO update it, it destroys built characters and makes it unplayable. Ignoring user bugs reported, they instead will suddenly get concerned and lock keys with claims that users are hacking. A poor choice for the money - Zero Support from Blizzard.

    You are grinding all the time for a slightly better object in the game. You waste hundreds if not thousands of hours just to get better items to kill more and more. This kind of games are so vicious at their core that words simply can't describe.
    Diablo is perfect title, but not because the ultimate boss is the devil itself, but because when you play this you are a puppet of the devil itself.
    You put yourself into a false illusion that you are the child of light and in order to get to the ultimate boss you actually kill hundreds or hundreds of thousands of opponents without hesitation.

    You can say it's just a game, but actually it's all in your minds - and I don't talk about the game itself, but the will and thirst for blood and violence.

    I guess nobody will ever write such an unordinary review as I did, but I really felt I have to do.
    If I can shed some light to people who may hesitate and are about to play it, just please avoid.

    Во время выхода Diablo 2 я ненавидел свой компьютер за то что в нем было 16мб оперативной памяти, а Diablo требовала 32мб, и дальше меню выбора персонажей меня не пускало.

    The graphics were great for the time the game was released and are still okay considering the game is 14 years old. The co op gets quite boring and you only go through it to unlock higher difficulties and to level up, other than that I don't think anybody actually plays co op.

Of course I would walk people through the game occasionally and level them up and what not, but PvP is where it's at.

    Now for the bad, every 6 months or so, or at least it was like that last time I played the game, they reset the ladder, so basically all your ladder stuff goes to non-ladder. You can play in non-ladder but it's filled with cheaters, so it's rather pointless to do. Then the bots that sit there and spam 24/7 has failed to be addressed for as long as I can remember, but of course why would Blizzard care about an older game anymore? I mean if you can get a copy really cheap then it's worth it, but otherwise I wouldn't invest too much into it. If they'd stop resetting the ladder then I would of rated the game higher.    … Expand

    Despite all of these pros that makes this a good game, I can't say this game doesn't have its faults. If you're playing Diablo II on a newer OS ( I am), you're going to witness one of the worst frame rates you ever experienced. And if you're playing with a hardcore hero (Permadeath character) you might die from the terrible frame rate. In Act I of the game,I encountered a bug. The rogues that can be hired as allies may suddenly stop following you.
    Overall, the pros which I have stated heavily outweigh the cons.

    Probably 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.

It really is the perfect balance of loot grinding, gameplay, aesthetics, and all that sweet RPG goodness. Perfect time to get into the game if you have not played it before, try out Diablo III too.

I often compare it to Terminator 2 in movies and it is not surprising that this game has still a great and loyal fanbase. There are frequent demands and rumors about a remake / remaster (A remaster is announced at the time of writing). It is much bigger, has more playable characters with unique abilities, better graphics and is one of the best loot porn hack and slash RPGs of its time. The story starts after the events of Diablo 1 were the hero of the first game had successfully defeated the menace. However it is not that easy to destroy such a powerful evil entity. After some strange events a new hero is on a journey to uncover the truth and experience an even greater adventure. You can chose 1 of 5 available characters which are: Barbarian (melee combat specialist), Sorceress (spell caster), Amazon (ranged combat), Paladin (melee with benefits) and Necromancer (summoner). These are just oversimplified descriptions. Each class has unique abilities and I played all of them at least to the final act. Each has their benefits and the playstyle differs. I will point out that a lot of thinking and care was made to make all character classes different but rewarding. If I had to chose my favorites I would go with Necromancer (and my summoned army:-) and Amazon (Death from afar;-). You gain experience points and at a level up you get 5 ability point to spend on strength, dexterity, vitality and energy and a skill point to learn a new or improve an already learned character skill. There are multiple builds and the character development depends on class (Example: Would not change the sorceress to melee). You can hire a soldier to help you in each act. The loot system is the bread and butter of the game. You are constantly on the hunt for better equipment to improve your character even further (in addition to leveling up). The game gives a good challenge and if you beat the game you unlock even harder challenges. There are also quest lines that develop the story and get you some good rewards. The story itself is good and satisfying. They did more than was necessary and it deserves credit. I like the twist and realization what really happened after Diablo 1 (Took me a while and I am baffled that I did not connect the dots sooner). The presentation was another strength at its time. The game looked and sounded amazing. The developers put a lot of care and hard work into the game. All these things together made it an incredible experience and it is no wonder that it is considered one of the most influential games of its time. The loot porn formula still works today in the Diablo games and other franchises like for example Borderlands. The constant challenge to get better equipment / a stronger character and developing the different classes kept me going for hour after hour. Overall this is close to being the perfect sequel and is still worth playing today. It is a classic game of its time a rightfully deserved its place in gaming history. Remark: The add on Lord of Destruction makes this game even better with 2 new classes (Druid and Assassin) a new arc and many smaller improvements. It is sold as bundle and should be rally cheap.… Expand

Even though the remastered textures and graphics are good, and a few minor quality of life tweaks there remains significant issues and new issues that really hurt the overall experience.

    1) The addition of controllers are making it waaay to easy for loot thief's to spam A to insta-pick up loot on boss runs, its basically just spam that button and grab loot, this is almost as bad as the auto-pick up hack back in the day, honestly ~ this is a major oversight.

    2) Server instability is still a problem, many of the issues should not have happened considering this is the same engine, with just a few minor things removed like TCP/IP so the server problems shouldn't have been so bad, and still are causing issues joining/creating games even several days after launch.

    3) Loot drops are still extremely bad, yes this is a loot grinder game but I don't remember it being this bad, my zon is level 55 right now and I'm STILL using level 9 - 27 gear and the loot level range drops are still fairly low level, this didn't happen as much in vanilla D2, sure even at level 60+ in HELL you could still get some low level drops but you would still find items mostly within your level range, in D2R I've seen mostly consistent low level drops even in higher difficulty modes.

    4) They had a change to redesign and fix some of the worst issues with the game, such as the horrible Belial boss fight which is notoriously bad and some classes have a nearly impossible struggle to solo forcing them to group up just to beat the boss...same with several other bosses which for some classes really struggle, class balance has always been a bit of an issue, especially with Sorcs.

    5) It's 3 days since launch, and already seeing hackers and even dupers meaning Blizz did not really increase security or anti-cheating detection really at all, several known DUPES are still a huge problem especially with Gems and Runes.

    In closing, Diablo 2 is a great OLD game with a fresh coat of paint and it looks great, and feels exactly like how I remember but these issues are holding it back from regaining it's crown as one of the best ARPGS.    … Expand

    Если кого то заботил вопрос "насколько разрабы пытались перенести старую игру на новые колеса", то ответ "Оч яростно", потому что все баги что летают даже в СМИ - это баги оригинальной игры, включая оч кривую систему меткости
    А так - отлично перерисованная графика, игра если что работает по умолчанию по всем анимациям в 40 кадров в секунду, и в теории можно вытаскивать больше - но от этого только плавнее экран перемещаться за персонажем, анимации останутся прежними

    Вылетов - вообще не встретил за по крайней мере первый акт игры, а проходил я его в онлайне с братом после работы. А это заняло около 2 часов геймплея. Заметен был только пинг, что у же точно связано с наплывом на сервера близзард

    Офлайн режим - так же оказался на месте, тольк осписок персонажей из за этого разделился на 2 - ну и пофиг, лишь бы был (что конечно значит, что игру явно спиратят в отличии от третьей части). А так же появились новые удобства, которые не мешают игроку или человеку, который просто решил понастольгировать. И снова же насчет багов - возможно, а разработчики говорили о доработках, после релиза все таки в игре будут что то дорабатывать и добавлять и возможно старые баги так же пропадут.

    Если вы озабочены скандалами вокруг близзард, и из за этого будете сомневаться в покупке Диабло 2, то чтож, будьте рассудительнее, ведь диабло это явно не та франшиза, которая прямо сейчас вытягивает финансово всю компанию или которая дает невероятные просмотры на твиче. А внутренние разборки и без студии сделавшей диабло (а это вообще студия что не была участниками всех замесов) идут своим ходом и со своими увольнениями.

    Так что лично я ставлю ремастеру 9 (но указано будет 10, на случай, если хейтеры набегут

    +Графооооооооон
    +Удобства (сбор золота, вкладки сундука, настройки карты и тд без модов)
    +Современные сервера и оживление коммьюнити
    +Оптимизация (она есть)
    + Вам дают поиграть буквально в дум 2016 от жанра РПГ. Ни рвения пятой точки от ограничительных механик поведения персонажа и хитбоксов, ни тонн текста - просто меси демонов и нежить, да секиру бери получше.
    + Геймплейно перенесено ВСЕ, и я не знаю зачем людям рейтинговые таблицы без наград . _ .

    Минусы
    - Зачастую из за цветовой гаммы сложно отличить одного моба от другого, а хитбоксы мешают наводке
    - На свиче стоит 4к - по моему ВОТ ЭТО беспредел (но тут про пк версию)
    - Игра вряд ли сможет вас затянуть на больше, чем часов 40, только если вас затянет коммьюнити а это достаточно вяло будет с учетом того, что игру как то ребалансить вроде не планировалось или выпускать координально новый контент (вспомниаем WOW Classic)    … Expand

    The nostalgic feeling I get form thinking about this RTS trend setter for so many games. Made me start getting into the genre I will never leave. Just epic.

    Diablo 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.

    Bought and refunded the game. I'm one of the players affected by the AVX debacle. This is more of a critique on the tech aspects of the game and I find it very lackluster as well as Blizzard's policy of changing the system requirements at the 11th hour without clear notification to its player base. Such a disappointment.

    This 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

    Diablo 2 es una obra maestra, gráficamente para ser del 2000 es increíble. La historia es muy buena, la banda sonora es de las mejores y es muy entretenido y muy disfrutable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing sequel and one of the best RPG’s I have played.

    Diablo II is the definition of the RPG genre and the grandfather of all the hack and slash games that followed. It got a solid story, excellent mechanics, great sound and music, good visuals and challenging enemies and bosses.

    When comparing Diablo II to its predecessor, it is a huge upgrade. The mechanics have improved, the visuals are much nicer, the spells and skills are way better and there are many more classes and characters to play.

    Diablo walks the earth again after a unnamed hero from the previous game slew him and tried to contain his dark essence in his body. It ultimately consumed and corrupted him and gave Diablo free passage to use him as a puppet and spread his evil, including his demon horde and freeing his brothers Mephisto and Baal.

    Evil takes over the lands in an alarming pace and a lot of people are either dead or fleeing to small settlements. You start in a camp owned by the Rogue Sisters, an order of fighting women that lost almost all of their members. From here, you start your journey and fight against the Prime Evils.

    In terms of graphics, Diablo II looks stunning. It is still 2D, but the art style and the different dimensions and depth the engine uses, make it feel like a fully 3D game. Animations, blood and environments look beautiful and the dark and grim atmosphere the graphics create is just perfect, especially for the open field areas.

    Diablo II is split up into acts, each with their own questline, pieces of the story and environments. This is, by far, one of the best aspects of the game, the variety of play. One act you are in forests and plains, then you travel through the desert, then the jungle and lastly, Hell itself. It is just refreshing and stunning to enter a complete new environment every act.

    The sound design in this game is one of the best I experienced so far. The blows of your weapon, the hit sounds on enemies, the grunts of Fallen that you kill, the perfect and lifeless sounds the zombies make, it is all perfect. To top it off, the music is excellent. There has yet to be an RPG that can match the atmospheric vibe that Diablo II created with its excellent soundtrack.

    The mechanics are great. You got durability on your gear, different quality ratings that your weapons and armor can possess, and, best of all, the crafting system via the Horadric Cube to create more powerful gems, potions and other items. The combat feels more responsive and predictable instead of the one hit deaths that you could encounter in the first game.

    The only thing that I needed to get used to, was the fact that you could not save the game without exiting and that the enemies did not stay dead. All the RPG’s that I played, including the first Diablo did save your progress and kills until that point, but as a kid, I was surprised when I saw that all the enemies were back when I started it up again. Nowadays, this is nothing special, but back then, it was a new concept in which you could harvest XP almost infinitely from enemies.

    Your inventory has been improved too. There are now many more slots to fill like a belt, gloves and shoes. You can also place gems in socketed items, providing a nice boost on your stats.

    The game and its expansion, Diablo II: Lord of Destruction are still played today and the leader-boards remain more active than ever. It is a true testimony for its legacy and rightfully so.

    I can only praise Diablo II and would recommend it to everyone.    … Expand

    Not only for year 2000, maybe one of the best games of 21st century. A definitive example of how a hack & slash ARPG shall be. All I can say is this game gave me first carpal tunnel syndrome when I was 14 in summer of 2000.

    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.
