diablo 2 resurrected xbox series x review

Is it actually a game that I would play today and enjoy? Yes, but only because I know what it is and I’ve played the original one and I can appreciate why it exists. This is what Diablo II Resurrected is all about, reliving the memories of what once was.

While I was a tad annoyed, it still brought a smile to my face because I remembered what it was like playing Diablo II on Hardcore back in the day, especially how it felt to die to something stupid.

On the Barbarian playthrough, I almost got to Act III before dying, a fault of my tunnel vision and my blatant disregard for my health bar globe. During my time with the game, I spent the majority of my time playing as the Barbarian on the Hardcore setting (if you die once, you lose your character and have to start over), which is the way I normally enjoy playing Diablo II. The game features all the playable classes such as the Barbarian who’s your typical warrior class, Necromancer who is a summoner of the dead, Paladin, a warrior of the light, Assassin, Amazon, Sorceress, the master of elements, and Druid, a nature-based class with animal companions. Diablo II Resurrected has higher resolution visuals, better quality audio and improved animations that are fun to watch, especially when the demons are slain. What’s most fascinating is that it feels exactly the same, but better in many ways thanks to technological advances. Sadly, those days are gone, but thanks to Diablo II Resurrected, we can relive those precious memories just one more time before we hit the bucket.ĭiablo II Resurrected is everything that I remembered of Diablo II but just much prettier and visually updated for the modern era of gaming. This was when Blizzard Entertainment actually made good games and was highly respected in the industry.

For those who do not know, Diablo II was a beloved game back in the glory days of Blizzard Entertainment and was regarded as one of the best ARPGs of its time. Do you miss the days of slaying demons after coming home from school and staying up late at night? Or what about the days when we would say to ourselves “just one more level up before bed so I can use my last 5 required stats points on my strength and my warrior can now carry this new weapon.” Well, they are back and that’s thanks to the release of Diablo II Resurrected.
