    Поставил единицу за то, что в игру просто невозможно поиграть. Сама игра - шедевр 20-летней выдержки, но нужно как-то достучаться до Blizzard. Таким хамским отношением к игрокам они роют себе могилу. Мы заплатили деньги и не можем получить продукт. Сначала не пускали на сервера, теперь сидишь в очереди по 150 человек...Поставил единицу за то, что в игру просто невозможно поиграть.

    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.

    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 :/

    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.

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.

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 .

    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.

    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

    The console versions online multiplayer is an ABSOLUTE SHAM. DO. NOT. BUY. THE. CONSOLE. VERSION. 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

    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.
