Diablo 2: Resurrected Review

Diablo 2: Resurrected reviewed on PC by Jon Bolding. Also available on Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch.

Diablo 2: Resurrected updates the graphics of a great, classic action RPG for a new generation. It masterfully preserves the mood of a singular game, and at the same time it preserves the gameplay as it has been for over a decade - mostly for better, occasionally for worse. Unfortunately, parts of that gameplay that were standard 20 years ago just look bad now, or feel like a waste of our time. Those looking for the old king can find it right here, but they might want to politely bow rather than kneel.

He used Tome of Identify while Deckard Cain was in front of him. Dude...

[greygoose]

Once he said that he chose the paladin to use lightning resist aura against the beetles in act 2 I realized he's the ultimate noob and had serious doubts about his claims of playing from 2000-2007

You gave D2R the same score as W3 Reforged lmfao.

*TLDR: Diablo 2 feels like Diablo 2 7/10*

IGN gave Cyberpunk 2077 a 9/10 at launch. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

One of the best games ever just got better.

What?

Trying to remake such a classic, especially with it being so revered and exaggerated, was never going to satisfy everyone. Any approach they took would be controversial. Had they tried to fix or change the issues and systems, people would complain they’re diluting or ruining the experience. Keep them? You have to deal with the dated design. There was no way to make everyone happy

Game has been alive and relevant for 20 years for a reason. Same great game that looks amazing now.

[justinfrost]

When you invest skill points across 12 different skills on one character and then complain about grinding

[deepdarkvan]

If this game is a 7/10. Warcraft 3 Reforged should not be 7/10. At least one of them is wrong.

[kirbyr]

Did this dude really say he spent a couple hundred hours playing the game? Why would you go on the internet and tell lies like that?

[canontheory]

They gave Diablo 4 a 9/10 while only giving Diablo 2 a 7/10 😂 what a complete joke

[MFx]

The reviewer is what we use to call in the early 2000s a „newbie“.

[brentrich]

"Paladin and Assasin only reach their full potential in a group." This reviewer has absolutely no idea what he is talking about.

Paladin is likely the best, most versatile character in the game and can easily clear Players 8 solo with the right build.

Diablo is a game that is REALLY deep at the high end, yet is being reviewed from the perspective of a noob who has 30 minutes a year of time

[MC-ztwb]

The reviewer mentions making a bow wielding paladin or melee sorceress. For all you new players, DON’T DO THIS! These builds are very gear intensive. It will require gear that you do not have and won’t have for a while.

4:04 Should've mention what D2R supports gamepads with Diablo 3 control scheme and 10 ability slots

EDIT: Guys in a replies are right, it's 12, not 10

"The heart of it all is still multiplayer." Uh...nope!
