is there a graphics remaster for diablo 2?

Those who played the original are going to appreciate this more than anyone else.Diablo II: Resurrected is now available on multiple platforms: Think it's safe to say that Diablo 3 is more friendly to people who are new to the franchise. Diablo 2 makes Diablo 3 look like a walk in the park especially for veterans in these kinds of dungeon crawling games. Can you believe that? *ehem* Reforged.Ĭompared to Diablo 3, This game is harsher in terms of gameplay with the stamina bar, horrendous inventory system, and map layout that rotates every time you log in which gives it semi-roguelike elements. I forgot to add, the cinematics in this version also have been remastered, as well. That can be a positive or a negative thing to some people. To put it simply, it is the same 20-year-old game that we’ve all spent years of our life on but with major visual upgrades and minor enhancements here and there.

Ctrl+click and shift+hover in the Inventory - auto stash and compare with currently equipped respectively has been implemented in the game.

You can toggle auto pickup gold instead of clicking on it and trigger your carpal tunnel in the process.

Auto pickup Gold toggle - This is another big QoL improvement.

Overhauled UI - Everything in the original is still there but modernized.

Do note that non-ladder characters cannot share stash with your ladder characters. Your stash is now shared among your other characters.

Shared Stash - This a big QoL improvement.

Added ambient and environment sounds to add on to the experience.

SFX - All audio has been remastered also.

Graphics toggle - You can toggle between the legacy graphics - the original low-res, 4:3 screen ratio version and the visually pleasing remaster version with just a tap of a button.

Let me just list down the changes I have noticed in this version of the game:

Aside from the obvious visual upgrade of the game, there are some tweaks here and there. So all my findings/observations are focused on what's new. Without further ado, let’s get to it, shall we?įirst and foremost, I won’t be discussing the classic game in this review but the remastered version of this. As of this writing, I’ve only gotten to Act 3 of this game if I ever miss something, especially end game stuff, I apologize. The game that defined the hack-and-slash, dungeon crawler genre in the game industry has gotten a much-needed retouch.

Diablo II: Resurrected is a remaster of a masterpiece.
