Diablo 2‘s OST remains a hell of a good time even twenty years later, and it sounds better than ever in this remaster. While in-game graphics may have aged a little poorly, there’s one aspect of the game that absolutely hasn’t: the soundtrack. There haven’t been any particular tweaks made to those aspects of the game, and I don’t think anyone would argue that changes were required anyway.Ĭutscenes, which were already considered excellent back then, were redone from the ground up for Diablo 2: Resurrected, and everything looks crisp and up to modern standards. The looter-style gameplay is a tried and tested formula: one that Diablo had already mastered two decades ago. Slaying demons, picking up loot, leveling up, repairing your gear, handing in quests – rinse and repeat. It wasn’t any real surprise to me then, to see that the core gameplay of the title still holds up incredibly well by today’s standards. It isn’t an overstatement to say that Diablo 2 has inspired a whole generation of ARPGs, including games like Path of Exile or Grim Dawn. Diablo 2 Resurrected Beta Impressions: Going Back to Hell in Glorious 4K Aside from a couple of (varyingly major) caveats, it looks like the game isn’t going to be an out-of-season April fool’s joke. After all, we’re talking about a game that’s probably perceived as even more genre-defining than Warcraft 3 ever was.Īs it stands, Diablo 2: Resurrected is no Reforged.
With the disaster that Warcraft 3: Reforged proved to be, long-time fans are understandably worried regarding the state of Diablo 2‘s remaster.
Diablo 2: Resurrected’s first beta session is about to conclude, and I’m finally able to give my initial impressions regarding the game.
