    Great nostalgic game for me, and a great new game for my fiance. Absolutely love it minus the few issues on day 1 which were fixed in the first couple hours for the most part.

    A good remaster of the legendary game! Thanks. Good luck with Diablo 4 Blizzard.

    It plays suprisingly well on the controller. Yes, it is somehow limited compared to keyboard + mouse combo (some builds on hell will be problematic) but I still enjoy playing this version. Event though it is fine on the controller it would be really great to have an option to also use keyboard + mouse on the consoles. Otherwise I miss only TCP/IP multiplayer and ability to scroll map.

    This amazing remaster is almost a remake of the great classic! And it feels great with a gamepad.

    Diablo II, it's pure nostalgia after 20 years the game remains fun and it's addicting, diablo day one had big issues with the servers, as always, diablo deserves to be played by the real fans

    Absolute perfection. One of the best games of all time, with modern graphics and great controller support.

    The bulk of the bad reviews, and hence the overall score, are due to server issues at the time of launch. Blizzard shouldn't have had such a hard time but don't read too much into those reviews if you're considering a purchase. Things are stable as can be now.

    This is a wonderful remaster that plays remarkably well on a controller. I was very skeptical but with only 2 exceptions, the controls are flawless. The graphical facelift looks great, the look and feel of the original was preserved and, for the most part, that works heavily in this games favor. There are certainly a few annoyances in the original release that remain, for example the limited inventory space, but that's really down to personal preference of convenience vs authenticity.

    If you have played LOADS of Diablo 2 in the past, I'm not sure I could recommend this game as you'll be doing that same thing you were 10 years ago. If you're new to D2 or, like me, you played it casually back in the day, there's countless hours of replayability here. My only complaint (and it drives me nuts how simple it would be to fix this...)

    You cannot scroll the map and you cannot easily decide what item to pick up. This is made 1000x more frustrating by the simple fact that the right thumbstick does nothing. Ever. *Easy* fix Blizzard, c'mon now.

    Overall, not perfect but certainly several hundred hours of fun for $40.    … Expand

    Dream come true. Now I can play my favorite game growing up onto console and giving it achievements. I love kicking back in bed or getting stoned and chilling on the couch getting lost into this game again as a pass-time. Real life was going so well too.. so much for those job interviews lined up, I gotta play more!

    A beautiful remake of a beautiful game. I wish some items were changed from the original, like the storage capacity, etc. But this is just me. The only negative thing is the AI, which wasn't updated and is visible looking at the mercenaries' actions.

    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.
