These cinematics were masterfully recreated, and play out the exact scenes to a T. The now-tainted hero wanders throughout Tristram to unleash horrors, and you play as one of the many adventurers that are hot on The Wanderer’s tail, striving to stop an evil dude from doing evil things.įrom a story perspective, nothing has changed, as every audio clip and bit of dialogue has remained intact in Diablo II Resurrected, except for the cinematics that play in between each of the game’s Acts. After The Warrior - you - defeats the Lord of Terror in the depths of Tristram, he takes the soulstone and becomes corrupted by it. The developers instead lather the classic in a new coat of paint and add a couple of modern touches as to the results, I’m happy to report that they nailed it.ĭiablo II takes off right after the events of the first game. Diablo II Resurrected doesn’t mess with the aspects that made the game timeless. When you think about looter shooters, loot dropping on the floor after beating enemies, and an endless loop of replayability defined by constantly finding and upgrading gear, it’s easy to forget that it all stemmed from Diablo II. The game served as a precursor for the many, many titles that came after it. For many, Diablo II and its expansion, Lord of Destruction, provided their first experience playing a deep looter-based action RPG. Diablo II Resurrected is Blizzard’s latest attempt to remaster yet another one of their classics that defined an entire genre.
