Diablo II: Resurrected
HELL AND BACK
DIABLO II: RESURRECTED is a proud love letter to one of the greatest RPGs of all time
By Luke Winkie
Diablo II: Resurrected moves at two speeds: You are either carving through swathes of undead with impunity, or you’re navigating each fork in the road with taut reluctance, nursing the small puddle of red in the bottom left corner of the screen. Action-RPGs are a known quantity in 2021, so what I most appreciated about my return to Blizzard’s classic was the way it made me fear the dark again, with no friendly checkpoints to save me.
Diablo II came out in 2000, and Resurrected represents the first new game in the franchise since the release of its sequel in 2012. The basics are all in place. You will take control of a lonely warrior – picked from one of seven different classes – who are condemned to wander Blizzard’s arid, Old Testament wasteland.
