‘Diablo 2: Resurrected’ May Be A Little Too Faithful

I’ve been playing Diablo 2: Resurrected the past few days, in addition to my time spent with the alpha before this. It’s an odd experience, given that in my youth I sunk, hundreds, thousands of hours into the game, so returning to this remaster now brings…mixed feelings, to say the least.To get more news about Buy Diablo 2 Runes, you can visit lootwowgold official website.

What Blizzard and Vicarious Visions have done here, graphically, is deeply impressive. The visual fidelity they’ve added to the world, gear and character models is fantastic, and everything you could hope to see from a remaster like this.The main problem is trying to go from Diablo 3 back in time to Diablo 2 here in terms of a zillion other aspects of how the game actually plays. While Diablo 3 was initially criticized as being too much of a departure from 2, it evolved into an excellent game and did improve on the 2 in many significant ways. Now, going back in time, and losing many of those improvements does not feel great.

This is where the playerbase of Diablo 2 Resurrected will split, I’m guessing. Many will appreciate that the game is so faithful to the original, keeping all its systems intact. But others like me may wish they made more quality of life improvements past the ones they did implement (free respecing, for one), and others who just started with Diablo 3 will probably have the hardest time going back to 2 here.
And yet, I understand why they went down this path. Changing any one of these systems may have created a butterfly effect that spiraled in a million different ways. You can’t just get rid of stamina, given that a number of actual skills are linked to it, so all those would be redesigned to. And so on. So it may have been the “better” call to just stick with almost everything the way it was and please the hardest core OG fans, though yes, the game likely will turn a number of players have with how cumbersome many aspects of it are compared to its sequel.

So in that sense, Diablo 2 Resurrected simply will not be for everyone. Surprisingly, it may not even be for me, despite my past history with the game. But that was 10-15 years ago now, and I’m just not sure I have the patience for many of these dated systems. At least not where I’m going to invest a significant amount of time in this. Others may be able to leap right back in and adjust, but I’m finding it hard so far.

Everyone will have to make their own judgement in the end. If you were a huge fan of the original, it’s hard not to recommend at least trying out Resurrected. But I’m not sure I can offer the same endorsement to those who started the series with Diablo 3, as this time warp is going to feel jarring and odd. I can see a case for Diablo 2 being remade in Diablo 3’s style, though that would have been its own level of controversy no doubt, and probably a lot more work. So here we are. I guess Diablo Immortal may end up being more my speed, after all.
