However, a lackluster story and dull combat were reminders that not everything about this medieval gothic fantasy works these days. After 18 hours of adventuring throughout the world of Sanctuary in this remaster, I came to adore Diablo 2: Resurrected’s graphical overhaul, rewarding loot progression, and helpful quality of life improvements.
Now, almost twenty years later, developer Vicarious Visions wants Diablo 2: Resurrected to hook me and everyone else that grew up with it all over again. Tack on a few thousand hours onto this narration, and you’d know the story of how Blizzard North’s seminal action RPG damn near made me flunk out of the 7th grade. It didn’t matter what demonic horrors awaited me in those dark crypts, there was treasure sprinkled throughout every blood-caked corridor, and I was going to claim it as my own come hell or high water. Whenever Diablo 2 comes up, I can’t help but let early 2000s nostalgia overtake me - back when I’d stay up way too late gleefully monster-slaying on school nights. While Diablo 2: Resurrected is a Blizzard release, the developers of this remaster (Vicarious Visions) are not implicated in the allegations. We’d like to note Activision Blizzard is currently facing multiple lawsuits over allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination.
