    I'd love to give this an 8. It plays great. Looks and sounds like a carefully updated take on the original.

    Unfortunately, character saving is broken.
    My first (offline) character had about a days worth of play rolled back. Lost my progress to act 3 and several good items.
    My second (online) character vanished completely tonight.
    There is no point in playing if I can't keep progress.

    I originally wanted to give the game a 3, because the one thing they did right was successfully improving the graphics and staying true to the the atmosphere we all know and love.
    That aside, they have succeeded in absolutely nothing. They promised us the same experience when they stole our 40 euro's. They had a blueprint of a 20 year old game, and still they manage to ruin the entire experience.
    Simply put, the game on console has no chat, no lobbies and no stable servers. In summary, you're playing a single player of diablo 2, which will decline you access half of the time. To my opinion, an absolute display of incompetence, obvious greed and lack of respect toward their customers
    Never again, will those leeches receive my hard earned wage.
    The guy that thought implementing a disused party finder was a great improvement, should get his ass kicked, over and over again.    … Expand

    The game itself is ok, but most of the time I can't Play because servers don't work. Company approach to the client is awful and disrespectful. Last game i bought from this company.

The last 5 days since purchasing on PS5 the servers have been down during my play window.

    40 bucks for not being able to play 5 days in a row? No way!!!?
    The game isn't bad initially, but it would have been great to see fixes to outdated gamedesign decisions: inventory, potions, resurrection and running to your items with minus 70% resistance on hell difficulty.
    But omg, typical Blizzard. The servers have been down for the last week. They can only take your stuff out of your    40 bucks for not being able to play 5 days in a row? No way!!!?

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

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 .

    As far as being a good investment of your $40 that it is not.
    Thus far I have had about 8 hours of play time while trying for about 20. Last night, when I was finally able to bypass the first roll back, and the countless error messages, I was able to get a good 4 hours in. Got to act 4 and hit level 27. Excited that we are finally past the issue I saved and exited and went to bed. I woke up this morning, logged in, only to find my character once again was rolled back to the end of Act 2, all my drops gone, and lost multiple levels. Again.

    Now I have 2 kids a 3.5 year old and an 8 month old. I work 60 hours a week. For $40 and a multi billion dollar company, these issues are inexcusable. Honestly like come on it's not even a full new game it is a remaster. Why these companies think this is just par for course is beyond me. There is no excuse for this and I just warn anyone looking to buy this game to just wait a bit. We all want to play the latest and greatest right now, but I can't begin to express how frustrating it is to play a new game littered with issues like this. Buyer beware.    … Expand

    I thought that it is easy to make the same game 20 years later, but something went wrong. This game is just rubbish. It disconnects, it says that you don’t have the character anymore and you need to make it again, that you don’t have Internet connection, but I have 500 Mb/s! And it has the longest downloads for 2021! I wanted to send this game back to Blizzard, but I was refused for return!

    Lack of chat and ability to create your own „named” game kills the endgame on consoles. It was supposed to be a Return of the great classic and we have a half-product. Blizzard don’t care about console players.

    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.
