    Despite both the original release and Switch version having a true offline mode, this version does not have anything of the sort. To access your "offline" characters you must first connect to Blizzard servers to authenticate.

This can even be verified    Despite both the original release and Switch version having a true offline mode, this version does not have anything of the sort. To access your "offline" characters you must first connect to Blizzard servers to authenticate.

    Unfortunately Blizzard has failed to keep the servers in any form of operating capacity has resulted in the inability to play repeatedly. This can even be verified by looking at their support Twitter. On which, is post after post from Blizzard discussing the u schedule downtime.

    To add insult to injury, should you have an "online" character. You run the risk of it being deleted, or hours of progress lost after server roll backs that Blizzard performs after said unscheduled maintenance. This issue has even went so far as to delete the Horadric cube thrice from my inventory. Thankfully you can run back to Act 2 to pick it up again.

    Worth mentioning as well is that Open Battle.Net and Closed Battle.Net are gone. Offline characters are permanently offline with no way to ever bring them online. Meanwhile online characters are the equivalent of closed Battle.Net. Additionally, at the time of this writing, ladder play is not available.

    This game also lacks many basic, necessary functions. There are no lobbies, chat, or the ability to set number of players.

    I always said if a remaster of Diablo 2 was ever made, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. In this case I did, and have regretted every moment of it.    … Expand

    This is a great game! But you can’t play it. For some reason, blizzard cannot keep servers online, so it is wasted money, time and effort. Don’t bother buying it.

    Потерян прогресс персонажа за два дня. У близов теперь код домохозяйки пишут? Приехали. Не могут сделать игру, которая ПРОСТО сохраняет прогресс.

    No lobbies, no chat, annoying stat allocation that takes ages, bad servers, false promises, false advertising. Game should be 4.99 since 90% of the game isn't on consoles

    The game has servers, which the original Diablo 2 never had, and I don't even understand why this game have servers, in not an MMO. I guess the people at Blizzard really is idiots and/or retards.

    Blizzard ain't what it once were, and I'm never going to buy another game after this **** show.

    Два дня не мог зайти в онлайн
    Откат персонажа на несколько лвл назад после того как удалось несколько часов поиграть.
    Лаги, вылеты.
    За что я заплатил 40$?
    Выпуск такого продукта это плевок в лицо всему комьюнити

    You have verrrrry limited storage and you drop ALL YOUR GEAR when you die. Oh god it is a frustrating mess that doesn't deserve the hype, it's all nostalgia goggles except for the art design and atmosphere, which are excellent

    This is a censored version of Blizzard’s classic looter. What was the point of bragging about how much attention to detail was given to replicate the original’s graphics if you couldn’t get the basics of the character models right? All the classes look like they’ve aged 20 years as if the models actually aged in between the original and “remaster”.

What was the point of bragging about how much attention to detail was given to replicate the original’s graphics if you couldn’t get the basics of the character models right? 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

    I bought this game on both Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch.

    Sometimes I am able to play on week days on the early morning, but any other day / time the servers are unreachable.
    I tried to request a refund for the XBOX purchase but it was denied because I played 14 hours which is more than the allowed time for a refund... yeah... the issue is that out of those 14 hours probably 7 of them were used to try to login into the game and get errors.
    The game is a nice review of the old Diablo 2, but being unplayable I can only give a 0 rating to this... because at this stage is just stolen money, you are paying for something that you can't event launch. Just don't buy it and wait for some months until everything is fixed and maybe the price is lower.    … Expand

    YOU SHOULD ADD PERSONAL LOOT!

    Наиграл с релиза уже 100 часов. Прошел на макс сложности за сорку. Сетевая игра умерла через 2 недели из за отсутствия раздельного лута. Нет никакого смысла играть в пати, ибо даже с друзьями непонятно как делить рарный дроп. Вот упала нам руна BER, она нужна прям всем, как ее делить?!

Следующая может упасть через несколько месяцев фарма. В итоге играть приходится соло. Соло же никто кроме сорки нормально не фармит. В итоге приходится играть соркой у которой 2: кнопки - телепорт и дождик, до момента пока не соберешь достаточно предметов, чтобы на равне с соркой играть кем то еще. Скука смертная. Сапортом вообще не поиграть, пати ненужна, одеться нереал. Еще приходятся заводить тонну мулов. У меня уже 15 персонажей с разными предметами. Поставил бы 1, но все же удовольствте я от первых 50ти часов геймплея получил. Больше играть не вижу смысла. Близард сдулись.    … Expand

    Servers are horrible, nothing like playing a looter and losing gear cause the server went out 3 times in a single weekend.

    Server problems, 1 resolution mode unplayable (massiv tearing around characters), character-classes optical changes for a more political correct look ruining at least half the classes ( not looking even close to the orginal design)
    now they do more changes but still have the skills are not playable...

    Diablo 2 is my favorite game of all time. Easy 5*. Resurrected is more modern Blizzard being Blizzard. Can’t even log in, due to connection issue that’s persisted since September for XsX.

    A Remaster to the letter, Diablo 2 Resurrected introduces a new graphic layer on top of the original Diablo game, which is still available at the touch of a button. The inclusion of the Legacy mode shows both the progression in graphics and the truthfulness to the original in gameplay. While there are some quality-of-life improvements, we would have preferred quite a few more. Resurrected is especially suited for the hardcore fans of the original, provided they can wait for online to be included.

    Diablo 2 Resurrected is a masterpiece in its own right; it evokes a freshness all the while hitting players with an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. The sheer joy that is had when delving into dungeons to destroy the Lord of Terror and by extension is brothers (the expansion Lord of Destruction is included in this release with all of the classes/items and fixes that it brought back in the day. But players can play vanilla Diablo 2 but its not recommended for beginners) is indescribable. I am getting a giddiness just thinking about returning to the game, and not too many current video games can evoke that kind of feeling; and that’s where Diablo 2: Resurrected shines brightest.

    Time spent with Diablo II: Resurrected is certainly an enjoyable one. It isn’t as polished as Diablo III, but then this is a remaster of a 21 year old game and I fear the devs were pretty much painted into a corner: if they changed the systems, the original fans would be up in arms, but keeping the original feel does mean it slightly alienates players who are used to the newer game.
