    Given that today's Activision-Blizzard actively despises both its employees and customers, the only thing left it has left to leverage is nostalgia. But even so nice a nostalgia trip as this doesn't long distract from what an awful, craven, greedy corporation pumped it out.

I bought this game because the D2 I loved had an amazingly social gameplay aspect to it, the only time I played alone was if I wanted to. Now they have this empty soulless shell of a game that is only good to play on offline single player and when playing online feels just like online single player. I genuinely feel robbed by blizzard as i was expecting what was released on PC and got basically a BETA version of that.

    NO chat options other than a quick chat wheel. Cant even bring up a jenky 4 WPM playstation menu. Public games can be joined but 99.99999% of the time you will be alone and you will stay that way. Trading does not exist unless you use third party sites/apps which is poor design for any game.
    No lobby or game finder just ensures a vicious circle of joining and leaving trying to find someone to play with.

    I have NEVER gone and reviewed a product but I was so disappointed with this game that I hope to stop others from wasting their money on a half-A** product from a company that I used to revere with such high esteem. I will not be buying ANY more blizzard games for a long time.    … Expand

Outdated skill tree and character progression that makes little to none difference between the same character classes. When the player dies they drop all of their loot, gold and gear at the place where they died, and it's better to sign out and back in to have your corpse delivered to you rather than running naked all the way to get your gear. You lose all your stuff including gold. Waste of time and money, stay away and boycott blizzard!… Expand

    You'll need an internet connection even to play offline. You can loose your progress anytime. You can not refund your purchase. I feel scammed. It's s beta-quality game for a full price.

    I changed my grade from 8 to 0 after months of praising it too much. A category of video games of Blizzard that has done nothing but create a generation of debauched kids. Being a fan of this video game series and being in the middle of the road speaks volumes. A video game that for small results takes too much time and does not always reward the player. Some stages of the game are just too frustrating likes ubers and 99, and actually makes it too difficult. The plot is that of a game from 20 years ago and not having added any element. The entire server infrastructure is completely fake and has unearthed a bunch of Cheaters and dupers.

    A desperate attempt to renew a great classic ... unfortunately unsuccessful. Not giving a refund to whoever requested it when the game had files on the servers of 200 people and another Failure. Having practically closed the offices in France after his release proves once again an administrative failure of this company, already involved in harassment and exploitation on the Job . In short, garbage    … Expand

    This game is closer to a 1 than a 10 by far. Why?

    If you have played Diablo 2 on PC prior to resurrected than you realize this game is built for online play... Trading, farming, grinding levels, etc. On PC you don't have to play with 8 people to get more loot. You can just set the game to 8 player difficulty and get that same XP and loot.

    The consoles is nothing like Diablo 2 as far as online goes and your ability to increase loot and XP. If you have played through Hell you will realize farming, grinding and trading are none existent in groups. The lobby is not included, the player numbers are non-existent and the game feels completely empty.

    Its not D2 as I remember nor is it D3. It is solo Diablo 2 with a ridiculous loot wall at the end. Buy the PC version or stay clear.    … Expand

    This game is simply unplayable. The servers are down frequently, and you can’t access your characters offline. There is now a waiting queue to connect to Battle.net, and you’ll spend more of your time waiting to connect than you do actually playing. For a company that has been in software development for decades, this is inexcusable. It’s a sub-minimal effort across the board. Instead ofThis game is simply unplayable.

    When you actually can play, it’s a great time. Which only makes it more infuriating that the majority of time, you can’t due to them cutting corners to save money. Purchase this game if you wish to get ticked off due to not being able to play something you find enjoyable.    … Expand

    And why for the love of God there is now option to play /players 8?!

    Totally unplayable thing. I played it only first week after release. After the first week all my tries to play with my network character failed. With different reasons:
    - server errors
    - bugged Pathan with not working “start play” button
    - hours to wait queues to log in. Tried to refund it with Sony, but they refused because I played a couple hours the first week :/

    Literal queue to get in servers are trash this game should have been delayed hard and server capacity tested it takes me 1 to 2 hours to get In and still runs just as bad as always save your money or wait for patches this is some cyberpunk levels of broken server side id give this game a negative if I could delay your game if it not ready

    Great game, stunning visuals and it feels that developers did a great job.
    However, it's all doesn't matter when you lost all your progress for two days with all your exp, gold and items just because of the server issue even playing offline mode! Horrible experience, and I'd advice to wait for a month or two before considering the purchase of this game.

    Can rarely get into the game because of the server que. Then when you do finally get get in your characters are missing or deleted. When the game did kind of work not everyone in my party was able to connect or they got randomly removed from the game. And this is almost a month after release

    While the remaster brings little new to the table other than a fresh coat of paint, cross play and remade cutscenes. Diablo II and its expansion feel as exciting, threatening and as ruthless as ever. The lions share of the quality-of-life improvements are found in the console version, with an excellent use of the controller, added hotkeys and general accessibility. Yet, the remaster does nothing to dumb down or meddle with the overall experience. Instead, for returning players, this is Diablo II as you remember it to be. For new players, while missing a lot of features that most ARPGS have today, there is a lot to love about this aging gem and it is still worth experiencing even decades later.

    Diablo II is one of the best ARPG's in gaming history, and Vicarious Visions haven't made many changes for Diablo II: Resurrected. Visually, there's a stark difference and it looks great while keeping the atmosphere. A few quality of life changes help keep this fresh and make it playable on consoles, but it just doesn't go far enough at points. This ageing master may have had a facelift, and it's one you can have a fantastic time with, but you can hear the creaking of its bones.

    Certainly it's great to see an all time classic enshrined and restored for modern day use. Additionally it opens up the game to exclusively console players that never played the original Diablo 2 on PC. There's no denying its significance in gaming history, and looks wonderfully sharp in 4k, but the age of the source code is evident. Diablo faithfuls will get a great nostalgic kick on the clunky ever-grind that is Diablo 2: Resurrected, but it would be a difficult recommendation for any series newcomers.
