    4 player max suck and party finder doesn't work, very hard to communicate with people in game. No way to make trade communication. Basically if you want to play solo this is the best option.

    7/10 if you want to play solo. Improved graphics are nice, but some of the systems feel dated now. But still solid.

    1/10 if you want to play online. Just skip it and dont bother. Terrible server issues, login queue!, often rollbacks of your progress. Just do yourself a favour and skip it.

    I don't believe in giving games a 0, but this one was hard. Blizzard let the Diablo 3 hating purists have every single demand they wanted and they STILL hate the game, not even for their horrid server issues.

Blizzard let the Diablo 3 hating purists have every single demand they wanted and they STILL hate the game, not even for their horrid server issues. These people ruined it to get EXACTLY what they wanted and they still hate it. In the end, D3 fans don't like the game and D2 fans don't like the game. On top of that, the game is almost impossible to play because of server issues. It took them a month just to implement a server queue and my average wait time is over an hour if I really want to play, being 550+ in queue. That queue does not move fast.

    So to flip things a bit, I'll save server issues for that, but these are the issues with the game:

    - Inventory management is awful
    - Inventory size is a joke
    -Town portals are expensive
    - Leveling is a total joke and takes far, far too long
    - Diablo is the most overpowered boss I've ever seen. I've yet to land a single hit on him despite having killed every single previous boss on the first try. Diablo has killed my entire party in a single stomp every time. I honestly haven't even seen him at all. he kills me from off-screen
    - Hit registration is nearly non-existent. I have a 99% chance to hit yet roughly 80% of my attacks just vanish into thin air.
    - When you play offline, the game no longer randomly generates the maps each login
    - When you play offline, the stash is reduced to barely 80% of the online stash and you have only one single page. There's enough room for your quest items, meaning the things you MUST keep, and absolutely nothing else.

    Then there's the server issues:
    - Server queue wasn't implement until recently. The switch got it yet another week later
    - Server queue length is criminal and can take in the upwards of multiple hours
    - Playing on weekends or evening is not possible. The servers are full
    - Let's not forget the rubber banding that has resulted in me getting killed multiple times and no, it is absolutely not my internet.
    - Even better, it disconnects at random. It's not all that common, but happens once or twice every other or every 3rd playthrough. Once disconnected, it's back to the queue

    I'm only playing it cause I want to finish the story, but I've already gotten refunds for my Xbox and PC. I've only got it on Switch and I only play it handheld. Docked is.....seriously ugly. I will never understand how the game runs significantly worse than D3 on identical hardware. I've also never seen a game that had not one, but TWO betas, and still managed to launch in a far worse state than the beta.

    Game is a cheap cash grab. Graphics are nice, but that's about it.

    - more bugs than the original D2 - Game crashes once every hour - Multiplayer lobby on PC is even worse than original one - Barely any multiplayer functionality on console - Constant server crashes, rollbacks, long waiting queues Overall, the game is far far far from finished.

    Online does not work.
    Basically a single player, no point in connecting online if match making will only let you play solo.
    Server disconnection which is frequent, causes loosing some progression

    Due to problems with servers, instead of a solution, the developers made a crutch in the form of a cooldown when creating a game. Well done blizzard.

    The update to the graphics was nice but this really needed more.

    I managed get to the last area and can honestly say my time was mostly filled with frustration over the ridiculously small inventory sizes. Most my time was spent uselessly managing loot and going back and fourth to town to sell.

    Also the sheer amount of potion vomit was so lame. I can see why the newer game did away with potions like this in favor of a refreshing potion. Being bombarded by all these potions and junk loot felt ridiculous. That felt like such a massive design flaw keeping the loot system like this and the inventory this tiny but maybe how they artificially made games longer back then.

    Just because this was a classic back then, doesn't mean it's good now. Shiny new graphics only can go far.

    Playing on the switch was a pain too. Handheld mode is the most uncomfortable as nothing really felt optimized for the small screen size.

    The game's servers have constant problems and honestly as somebody who didn't grow up on D2, it's pretty overrated. All the slows and mana burns and melee hit accuracy are just a chore to deal with, Whatever challenge they add it feels more like the game isn't responding which is compounded by the fact the servers suck and it lags sometimes.

    I'm playing hard core had a portal up in town and was alt tabbed out checking runewords for a second came back in and dropped back in my portal. As soon as I dropped down a guy pk'd me. I had no idea he was in the game and he was able to go from partied to hostile automatically. I lost my character and all its progress without any warning whatsoever. Well thought out.
    For the price it was a money grab for a game that hasn't been improved at all other than the graphics. But I guess this is what Blizzard has devolved onto. Resorting to remaking past hits from the glory days until they are dead. They haven't made a decent game with staying power in near a decade. Pretty much since Activision came on the scene.

All the classes look like they’ve aged 20 years as if the models actually aged in between the original and “remaster”. The Amazon looks like a man and her outfits were censored to appear less sexualized. The same is true for the other “female” classes while the male models just look like tired old men. It’s funny how it’s okay for these deranged liberals to sexualize underage girls in trash like “Cuties” but adult females in a dark fantasy setting can’t have any sexualization. Blizzard even censored some of the enemy models and backgrounds. Blizzard knew the outrage from fans over the changes they made to the character designs and doesn’t seem to care and released it in this condition anyway. The only reason I gave this game a 1 is that you can switch back to the original uncensored graphics but that kind of defeats the purpose of buying a remaster in the first place and that doesn’t really fix the ugly models which are still present. Don’t support this “remaster” with your money the original unbastardized version is still available to play. Expand

Of course it doesn't compare to PC or other consoles, but how could it? Or did you get your switch for the superior graphics? Gameplay-wise it's just as good as any of the other versions using a controller.Would have been 10 if it wasn't for the price.

Gameplay-wise it's just as good as any of the other versions using a controller. Which is to say: it is awesome. Even on PC I prefer the controller because it allows me to map skills directly to buttons which makes me even use those neglected skills on weapons. Compared to mouse and keyboad (unless you have a 10 button mouse) this is a really advantage.
    But more about the switch version. Graphically it is as good as it can be I guess. For me it is one of the best looking games I have on the switch. Of course lots of detail has been cut for the switch version, but you only notice that in direct comparison. Loading times are great once you're actually in the game. I never noticed frame rate drops of any kind (though I must say that I only played by myself so far). So yeah, go ahead and get it or wait for the price to drop but blizzard being blizzard.. that might take a while.

I do enjoy the QoL changes, although I'm honestly not regularily using them anyway. For example, I've activated the auto-pickup for gold, but I keep on manually clicking it anyway, since I was used to do so, and in D2:R, I feel right back home...

    I like this port. It seems that it runs at 720p/30hz with DRS. I have not experienced any problems with Offline characters. I have not tried to play online but I guess they can fix the server issues pretty soon. Thanks Vicarious Visions :)

    Edit: OK, I am in Act 2 with gear that increases movement speed by 30% and I am getting regular frame drops (review -2 points)

    Overall, I liked the game. There are some problems with the network component, but it's still the same Diablo, only in a beautiful wrapper. Still, of course, the price in the Nintendo Russia store is upsetting: $ 55. And it's not even a physical copy of the game.

    For a whole 6 hours after this I am not able to play any online character, I get all different type of errors.
    I gave up on lunch day but the next day I removed the game and then download again. This time it worked fine and since then me and my son play together without any issues.
    The only fix I need fo increase my score is the sudden teleport that happens for my character and bang I am in the middle of a group of monsters, I thought this was frame rates drop but when I play offline I never get this issue so I guess it’s battle net issue.
    And yes please fix the Amazon why its SO ugly?

    As The Burning Crusade sequel was the best of the first 3 World of Warcraft (WoW) expansions, so too is Diablo 2 (D2) Resurrected the best Diablo game on Switch.

    While early-WoW was great, Diablo 3 (D3) suffered by trying to add WoW-like elements such as a skills with cooldowns and complicated hoop-jumping sequences to synergise maximum damage. But no more Convention of Elements
    As The Burning Crusade sequel was the best of the first 3 World of Warcraft (WoW) expansions, so too is Diablo 2 (D2) Resurrected the best Diablo game on Switch.

    While early-WoW was great, Diablo 3 (D3) suffered by trying to add WoW-like elements such as a skills with cooldowns and complicated hoop-jumping sequences to synergise maximum damage.

    But no more Convention of Elements nonsense! D2 is simply all about using your favourite skills without looking at cooldown timers or element cycles, and the addictive quest for better loot.

    As an offline single player player (as I was on PC), D2 on Switch is perfect. No more repetitive strain from keyboard mashing. I saw a post from someone complaining about controls on console. Don't worry. I believe the Diablo experience using a controller is better than keyboard and mouse. It's easier to move around and more ergonomic to use skills. Picking up items is the same as D3, but you can also selectively pick up certain items by walking close to them and they will be highlighted.

    The only disadvantages to controllers is not being able to use skills at a particular point in the screen (similar to D3 on consoles). Also, managing inventory/stash items is a little slow as you do have a cursor only for this part of the game. But I'm glad they kept this cursor inventory management and not used the D3 style of inventory management. D3 inventory/stash management is a mess.

    As for the other features. As in the remastering parts. Yes the new graphics are great. But I actually prefer the classic graphics. The remaster reminds me too much of D3 and is too polished. The original graphics are more gritty, there is less light so it's more horror-like, and it matches the nostalgia of the era. However, the original graphics loses a bit of screen real estate on the sides compared to the remastered graphics. Remaster = fits full screen of Switch. Original graphics = sides have some black bars.

    Auto gold pick up is also useful. Items can be easily sold to vendors by holding down a button.

    I haven't gone through all the cinematics, but the remastered versions are excellent. However, I prefer the original ones, not for their quality, but the feelings they evoke.

    Finally is the controversy of changing the character models, such as the Amazon. A lot of fuss has been made over this. I would have preferred them to look more like their originals. But it doesn't make a big difference. Especially on Switch Lite when you're not zooming in on the character anyway.

    I'd give it 10/10 if it supported open-battlenet style multiplayer with my offline characters. Why do I have to chose between having a character that I play when I'm on a trip, and another to play multiplayer with? It's ridiculous. Cross-play would be good to have too.

    A shockingly disappointing experience. While not egregiously bad, much of whatever fun could be gleaned from a game this old (despite its sterling reputation as the pinnacle of the action RPG experience) seems to have been siphoned out from this version of the game.

    A shockingly disappointing experience. While not egregiously bad, much of whatever fun could be gleaned from a game this old (despite its sterling reputation as the pinnacle of the action RPG experience) seems to have been siphoned out from this version of the game.

    D2: Resurrected demands that you log into Battle.net every time you want to play. This seems like a poor start to a game whose issues are further exacerbated by the sometimes minutes-long wait to actually get to the character select screen. Furthermore, the graphical improvements are pretty lacklustre, even for the Switch - character models don't seem as though they've been improved much, and I almost mistook them for the same models from the original release. This is symptomatic of what Resurrected seems to be - a low-effort port trumped up with an always-online requirement, which Blizzard can use to capitalize on nostalgia without investing heavily into such a game's quality. Considering the storied legacy Diablo 2 has, such an unwillingness to make Resurrected at least as much fun as its original incarnation is truly a pity.

    I humbly offer that in order for a remaster to earn a seal of approval from me, it has to refine the experience of the original game. It need not necessarily provide many new features, nor make everything look completely new and modern, but I think it needs to improve upon what the original did - offering the original experience alone on modern platforms is not enough. And sadly, like with many modern remasters of older games, I think Diablo 2: Resurrected offers a soured, shrivelled version of the original Diablo 2.

    Anyone looking for a fun action RPG on the Switch will likely be pleased with the Switch version of Diablo 3. Unless you have no other way to enjoy Diablo 2 or are desperate to play it, I recommend you look past this version of the game, which feels like an utter chore to play.

The game performs well on the Switch, and although the graphics are notably watered down compared to PC, they still look great. I was really impressed with the almost fully customizable controls. The controls actually make some of the melee classes more fun to play, but it makes some of the casting classes such as the sorceress a bit difficult to control. I also noticed some strange issues with getting stuck between objects that have never occurred on PC. While the controls work well, they will slow you down compared to what you can do on PC. The Switch port is excellent for walking through the game or doing some simple runs that are low risk, but once you try to do the more difficult runs, you’ll experience some difficulty in ways you wouldn’t have ever experienced on PC. For example, it’s extremely difficult to see enemy resistances in hell, so you really have to know what you’re doing. Overall, this game is great for walking through the game or as a companion to the PC version. I really do recommend it to supplement the PC version so you can play on the go. I never thought when I first played this game over 20 years ago that I would be able to play it on a device anywhere in my house. Sliding in an extra magic find run has never been easier. Expand

Having only played Diablo 3 previously and Diablo 2 briefly when I was younger, the graphics and character models of Diablo 2: Resurrected left a much better impression on me. The limited view of lighting around each character really adds to the mood too.

    Some people don't like the gear dropping when you die but I think its a nice nod to games of the past and adds some threat to mindlessly darting around a level as a sorceress (a very squishy character).

    The worst difference between PS5 and Switch is the matchmaking experience. The max player amount is capped at 4 instead of 8 on PS5 which effects difficulty too.

    In around 100 or so hours worth of playing, I haven't matched with a player for longer than 10 minutes. You should only attempt to matchmake on Hell mode as that is where I've found most success.

    There have been many connectivity issues in the past few weeks but these seem to be somewhat resolved through the queue system. It wasn't fun being disconnected and losing tons of progress and having to fight your way all the way through dungeons again which has now has a new randomized layout and enemy spawns. Other times opening your online only character wasn't even a possibility.

    I can only recommend this game if you are comfortable with a solo experience in what is essentially a multiplayer game. I'm fine with this but I can see this being a deal breaker for veterans of the game or people that might not understand mechanics too well and need a helping hand.

    The first 2 weeks were fun and giggles cuz you experience the gameplay / gametime from years ago, but after that it stops and you move on. People want new stuff even tho its a revamp.

    But overall its good and a nice revamp, but the cost is way to high...

    After 2 years of begging Blizzard to repair multiplayer, nothing. Checked every month for 2 years and always 0 lobbys/players on switch. How is this possibble??? I hate that game because there was so much potential but all ruined up by blizz and their greed to pay someone 1k for repairing this mess in few hours.

    Diablo II: Resurrected is a great game, but in a genre that has seen drastic growth and evolution ever since. It’s an experience that is certainly worth playing, especially if you understand the context that it was launched and its importance to today’s titles.

    Diablo II Resurrected, for the most part, strikes a perfectly respectable balance between maintaining the look and feel of the original and updating it for a modern audience. It's unambitious, but it doesn't really need to be any more than that — Diablo II was a wonderful game, and all it really needed was a bit of sprucing up at the end of the day. That's been done here, and done mostly well, and the transition to a gamepad is probably is good as it could've been. Still, it feels dated in some ways, and its online/offline character split was a dreadful choice, given how bad the servers have been for it. Still, it is Diablo II, for better and for worse, and if you're like me and have a nostalgic attachment to it, it's probably worth a play.

    Diablo II: Resurrected is a great port plagued by the usual server issues. When those stop — or if you can work around them — D2:R is a great port that polishes up a cult classic without losing its original charm and gameplay loop. The improved visuals run well on the Switch, and the quality-of-life improvements and good controller implementation ensure that D2 is a joy to experience on the handheld. Of course, there are some noticeable downgrades, but none of them impede the experience, and they're necessary to ensure the game runs smoothly and without hitches. If you favor portability over quality, the Switch version of D2:R is worth picking up.
