    A nearly perfect game has been remade to play almost exactly as the original did but with incredibly detailed graphics that you'll swear looks exactly like the original.. until you press L2+touchpad and see what those old graphics actually looked like. What a joy to be playing this again. Already level 53, I just can't stop.

    This game works well now. See a lot of people had issues near launch which is a shame but today it works well.

    Also this is the way an ARPG should be, instead of dumbing everything down like Diablo 3 did. all of the gameplay elements and visuals feel just right, it's amazing Blizzard allowed this to be good, since they ruined D3, Diablo Immortal, and are most likely going to ruin D4.

    This is the best Diablo game, now in silky smooth 4K 60fps on a 65“ widescreen. Music, Gameplay and addiction is s just as good as 20 years ago. After 2 days the servers seem to be stable too. I cant put it down!

    Plays surprisingly well, I enjoy it on console just as much as PC. They need to add a better lobby/multiplayer experience.

    As an original player, I am loving this game and have not had any issues like a bunch of the whiners have been saying. Been cooping with friends and having a blast. We’re sadly at a day in this age where whining and review bombing pathetically is all we want to do. Easy 10 and should prob stay away from user ratings cause they’ve become less reliable over time now.

    I played Diablo I on DOS as a kid in 1990s, and Diablo II on a bulbous red CRT iMac in 2000. They were both dark and outstanding games for their times. I was disappointed with Diablo III, how they used their cartoon design language borrowed from World of Warcraft, and how they essentially made it a remake and sequel at the same time (you travel to the same areas in the same order, dungeonsI played Diablo I on DOS as a kid in 1990s, and Diablo II on a bulbous red CRT iMac in 2000. They were both dark and outstanding games for their times. I was disappointed with Diablo III, how they used their cartoon design language borrowed from World of Warcraft, and how they essentially made it a remake and sequel at the same time (you travel to the same areas in the same order, dungeons and world aren’t bigger, etc.). This remaster is the exact same game as the original, but with shiny new graphics literally running right on top of it. I’m finding that I enjoy it still much more than I expected, especially the further in I’ve played. I’m giving it a 10 because they did a perfect job of doing exactly what was intended– leaving the game exactly as it was, but updating the graphics to the modern day equivalent. If you’re young and never played old school games like these, it might not be for you. Keep in mind that the gameplay is still from before September 11th, 2001 happened. Don’t expect too much when 20 years of revolutionary advancements in gaming have been achieved since. With that in mind, this game is actually pretty fantastic. I don’t think the L2+touchpad option to switch to the original game video is gimmicky at all. Maybe it’s because I’m super old, I dunno. Diablo III was already practically a remake, so this didn’t need that to happen. I’m hoping D4 will lose the WoW appeal and return to true form. It seems like everyone feels that way, fan of the originals or not. The graphics should he more… evil… Expand

    I am a huge fan of the original, I've been playing it since it came out. Don't like all of the decisions but overall the game is a masterpiece. I've bought it on PC, Playstation 5 and Switch, and I like all of them :)

    An excellent remaster of the classics, very accurate.
    There are some technical problems at the start, but they are present in any modern game.

    This remaster is really special by running the original game under the hood. The visuals are pretty nice but could have higher resolution when running at 60 fps. The biggest issue is you can’t scroll the map, which is a shame. Also better gamepad control scheme would be nice or support mouse/keyboard for consoles.

    Pretty sad that this one gets review bombed. My two favorite games growing up where Warcraft III and Diablo II. And for the record I completely hated the Warcraft III remaster and I hate what's happened to Blizzard in the last years.
    This remaster of Dialbo 2 is as good as a remaster can be, just an amazing job leaving the game intact and adding some small quality of life improvements.

    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.
