Diablo II: Resurrected – Infernal Edition

Unbearably unstable. Why do we need to be constantly connected to servers for a million year old game? If I was able to I'd return this game for a refund. You get to play for 30 minutes or so and the connection fails. come on now...

One of my favourite games of all time, with a faithful remaster. Shame Blizzard are incompetent. They've forced the entire playerbase to reinstall the game twice in 2026. 25GB download in April, 40GB download in July. Neither "update" had new content and both made the game less stable, even on new hardware. Completely ruined the modding community both times too (probably the intention). Reign of the Warlock DLC has ruined multiplayer. Unbalanced, blinding screen effects and horribly animated. They don't have the chops to improve on perfection. All future "content" will be cynical cashgrabs. Mark my words.

did you people play the originals? this is worse than those. now it unequips weapons and armor whenever it wants to, put gold into chest and , well, IT'S GONE. never had any of that in the original. very annoying. never again with you.

Every patch (and there have been multiple now) takes about 20-40 GB of your bandwidtha dn disk space. The original game came on two - TWO! CD's. So get the old one instead, this is not worth spending your money on at all!

Diablo: "Not even death can save you from me." (Maybe I will endlessly play D2 in hell after death... well, it could be worse) Resurrected is a great remaster for an hack and slash arpg that ruined most other hack n' slash arpgs for me. The QoL Additions and the new class are fun, Updated graphics look decent and after a break for more than 10 years I have to say: The gameplay is still a lot of fun (if you like repetetive slashing). Just give it a shot

amazing graphics in every act and rune stash tabs!

Even with the Warlock, this game just doesn't grab me like playing the original in a VM. I really don't like the changes they made in graphics overall. It just gives me a weird feeling like things just aren't quite right. I hate how the amazon looks. Yes, she looked ridiculous before in the original version, but now she looks like she's trying to pass a kidney stone while standing up, even after the revision. The assassin just looks weird. I'm not sure what look they're going for, but her head is so different from the original she feels like a different character. They made some parts of the game have more nudity and some less, and it doesn't bother me that the amazon and assassin are less revealing. I didn't notice a difference with the sorceress. I read they did something with her top, but I never noticed her looking that sexualized, and I would have to look at a comparison online to see the difference. However, I laughed out loud when I saw Andariel wearing a loincloth to cover her fanny. A big part of her look is the juxtaposition of lust and bloodlust, of beauty and carnage. The idea of her putting on a ridiculous modesty cloth is just incongruous. Oh, and the barbarian looks really funny. I mean it's understandable--it's been like 20 years, so he's got a bit of a dad bod. He's got a bit of a beer ponch, and you can tell lifting weights just isn't quite helping him maintain and he's lost some muscle tone all over. It happens to the best of us, right Arnold? For the graphics not involving nudity and sexualization, well, it just feels off, even after I tried various graphics settings. I'm sure the artists put in a ton of time, and they all worked hard to bring this up-to-date. If you can't be bothered with running this game in a VM or you lost your original copies, then this is a good way to go. The upgrades with inventory are definite welcome QoL upgrades. I really wanted to be able to give money to them for this effort in revitalizing an old game in a time when AAA studios are trying to kill off old games. However, I just can't. I might pick it up again if it goes under $15. Otherwise I'm sticking with my "/players 8" solo playing with my spreadsheet of uniques and sets I've found MF'ing on my VM.

[h1]Entering The Den Of Evil[/h1] I just blinked, and suddenly my bulky CRT monitor has been replaced by a screen so impossibly flat and sharp it looks like actual black magic. I fired up this new version of Sanctuary, and my jaw hit the floor because the jagged pixels of the past have been transformed into a [b]moving gothic painting[/b]. My trusty Pentium processor would probably explode trying to render these fluid animations and terrifyingly crisp shadow effects, but the dark, gritty atmosphere feels exactly like the realm I left behind. Getting back to hunting the Lord of Terror feels like [b]stepping into a dream[/b], provided this futuristic computer setup doesn't suddenly contract the Y2K bug. [h1]The Eternal Grind For Loot[/h1] The core loop of the journey involves selecting a hero class to navigate through five distinct acts filled with [b]procedurally generated maps and hostile demonic forces[/b]. Defeating monsters yields experience points for leveling up skills and randomly generated equipment that alters character statistics. Combat is executed through rapid mouse clicks to trigger physical attacks or magical spells, while resources like health and mana must be constantly replenished using potions assigned to the hotkey bar. Progression relies heavily on repeating specific boss encounters and zones to accumulate rare runes, gems, and base items needed to construct powerful gear combinations. [h1]Blessings From The High Heavens[/h1] The future of gaming has delivered some absolutely radical upgrades that make returning to the blood-soaked wilderness feel like a dream come true. Walking near gold now automatically [b]magnets the coins into your purse[/b], completely saving your index finger from the agony of clicking hundreds of individual drops. The addition of a [b]customizable item filter[/b] is pure wizardry, wiping away screen-flooding text clutter so the truly elite drops instantly pop out at a glance. Even better, runes and gems finally get their own dedicated, stacking storage tabs, which completely rescues your vault from looking like a messy garage. Combine those quality-of-life miracles with the wicked new spellcasting tools of the [b]Warlock class[/b], the brutal challenge of the Colossal Ancients endgame, and instant loading times that put old CD-ROM drives to shame, and you have a package that totally rules. [h1]Curses Of The Burning Hells[/h1] Despite the incredible upgrades, a few ancient demons still linger in the code to cause serious frustration during your journey. The absolute refusal to soften the archaic stat and skill locking means a single misplaced attribute point can totally ruin a build, forcing you to start a fresh character from level one. Legacy bosses still suffer from incredibly bogus mechanical quirks, like the notorious Duriel loading in and flattening your hero into the dirt before the screen even finishes initializing. Finally, trying to connect to the digital realms forces you to wrestle with a modern launcher interface that occasionally gets stuck in frustrating [b]account-verification loops[/b] when you just want to slay monsters. [h1]The Archangel's Final Judgment[/h1] This spectacular modernization [b]successfully bridges the gap between ancient design philosophy and futuristic technological presentation[/b]. The dark journey remains just as [b]addictive and relentless[/b] as it was a quarter of a century ago, refusing to compromise its identity. Every single mechanical adjustment serves to [b]respect your spare time[/b] without sacrificing the legendary difficulty that defined an era. It stands proudly alongside titans of the genre, proving that the foundation laid down decades ago [b]holds up against later successors[/b] like Diablo III or Path of Exile. For forty greenbacks, this upgrade package and its warlock-themed expansion might seem steep to anyone who already owns the base remaster, but the staggering amount of fresh content makes it an [b]absolute steal for hardcore demon hunters[/b]. [h1]Grade[/h1] Final Rating: 88/100 The game earns this elite rating because it miraculously cleans up the clunky inventory management and screen clutter of the classic era while keeping the [b]legendary, addictive item hunt completely flawless[/b].

★★★★★ 5/5 Diablo II: Resurrected is proof that great games never go out of style. It takes one of the greatest action RPGs ever made and gives it a beautiful visual overhaul while preserving everything that made the original so memorable. The dark atmosphere, addictive loot system, satisfying combat, and incredible character customization make every playthrough rewarding. Whether you're hunting for legendary items, experimenting with different builds, or playing with friends, there's always something to keep you coming back. Yes, the core gameplay comes from an older game, but that's part of its charm. Instead of trying to reinvent a classic, Diablo II: Resurrected respects its roots while adding modern graphics and quality-of-life improvements that make the experience smoother than ever. If you're new to the series, this is the perfect opportunity to experience one of the most influential ARPGs of all time. And if you're a returning player, it's like coming home. A timeless classic that still delivers countless hours of fun and adventure.

Played the original and it's expansion and liked it very much, Diablo 2 was, and still is an iconic cult game, a standard that all games in the genre are compared to. Needless to say i was excited at the idea to play the game with improved modern graphics. The game starts ok, graphics are good, plays pretty much like the original, but then something happens that makes it feel very different from the original, namely the loot dries out after you reach the monastery. The difficulty increases and you would expect better loot from those yellow mini bosses but nope, hours and hours and the loot is just some potions and useless items, hundreds of empty chests. The story advances, the mobs are higher level but you are stuck with the same equipment you found in the first few hours, because after you reach the monastery, the game refuses to drop anything halfway interesting. Few hours into chapter two, wading through empty chests and grey and white loot, oh and a blue useless item from the first boss underground, realized how much this game was all about the loot. Take that away and it becomes a tedious chore. At this point i'm hoping it's a bug or something, but definitely no fun playing further.
