While things like its hotkey system can feel a little dated, overall Diablo II still plays extremely well for a game of its age even by modern standards.
It’s still fun to make your way down skill trees, improving yourself and finding epic loot to flesh out your build. Eventually bringing rise to the "looter" genre. While Diablo 1 and 2 didn't invent colour-coded loot rarities or 'loot fountains', there's no denying it's the reason that hundreds of games after it have adopted many of its systems.
Perhaps the only controversial change since it was a relatively harmless bug that only served to make companions a bit less fragile.ĭiablo II itself is certainly a little dated, however it still stands up as an incredibly fun experience that I'd recommend to anyone. The Andy bug remains intact, however, the somewhat popular “ebug” was fixed. And of course a plethora of other minor tweaks. You can now toggle seeing items on the ground rather than cramp your hands holding the key for hours, and ladder exclusive items and runes are now available on non-ladder and single-player. They added three tabs of shared storage, as well as expanding storage in general. Blizzard did end up making changes, but all of them were for the better and none of the things affected any core gameplay. Even the audio got a facelift (that toggles with the graphics), old iconic sounds that couldn’t be recreated reliably have been left alone but all of the music and many other sound effects have been cleaned up and upgraded just as they did the visuals.Ī main concern many had, was the possibility of changing gameplay, fixing old bugs, etc. Everything feels just as it did wandering the lands of Diablo II in the early 2000s-you even get that lovely feature Halo's remasters got that lets you toggle between new and old graphics any time during gameplay. As you can see from the screenshots, they did a wonderful job breathing new life into the old graphics. There was definitely some worry after Blizzard botched the art style of Diablo III, but in the end, they nailed it. With the remaster came a new coat of paint, and boy does it look nice.
