While the looks of some of the classes may not be to anyone’s liking but that is a preference matter. This is visual value-added for a remake especially a game coming from the pixelated age. From the wrinkles on the Necromancer to the veins on the hands of the Amazon. The detail on each face is so well detailed. The character models never looked better. Furthermore, it even has a toggle button to change back to its original retro look and the transition is a joy to watch. The visuals are by far the best rendition for a game that is more than a decade old. D2:R, to me, feels like a right remake that just came out at the wrong time. Many other games such as Torchlight, Path of Exile, Dungeon Siege, and the likes have added their own twist to the genre which gives it a fresh experience. Diablo III itself made changes that were geared towards the change 14 years after the original. Since then, I was able to own a console and decent gaming rig, I was able to finally enjoy a Diablo game without any hitches.ĭiablo II: Resurrected (D2:R) came at a time where many of us have gone through the changes the genre has gone through.

So when Diablo III came, it was a blessing for me. My experience ended with an undead killing me which took 10 seconds to be visually confirmed. I had a dismal spec of a pc that could barely keep the game stable enough even during combat. I have a confession to make, I have not played the original Diablo II long enough to recognize things in Resurrected. Anyone that came from the Babyboomers to Gen X would definitely come across Diablo if they find themselves venturing into the path of gaming.

A name that became a genre by itself much like Dark Souls that started the ‘Soul-like’ genre. Developed By: Blizzard Entertainment, Vicarious Visions Published By: Blizzard Entertainment Platforms: Playstation 4 & 5, Xbox One & Series, PC Reviewed On: PC (Battlenet)
