With Diablo 2 Resurrected one of the most significant hack and slay games of his time (including the Adds Lord of Destruction) finds its way to PS4 and PS5, Xbox One and Series X / S as well as the Switch. With fire new 3D graphics, revised intermediate sequences, powerful sound and small playful improvements, Activision Blizzard tries to make old fans happy and win new ones. However, if these measures are sufficient, however, strongly depends strong on yourself as a player in.
15 hours We were already able to beat Solo by Sanctuario on the PlayStation 5 and opposite us the hilarulous hordes. However, this is not enough for a complete test. Because the centerpiece, the online multiplayer, was not playable due to switched off servers. Therefore, we leave it with a first impression and deliver rating and value box as fast as possible.
Action against Activision Blizzard: Also in the test to Diablo 2 Resurrected should not remain unmentioned that there is currently a lawsuit for sexual discrimination against Activision Blizzard as a Publisher of the game in progress. Accordingly, the Remaster under the working conditions has also been created, as can be found in the application. All information about the allegations against Activision Blizzard we have summarized for you in a detailed article. A commentary of Diablo editor-in-chief editor Rae Grimm regarding our reporting on the subject, we have also linked to you
Bombastic graphics and changes in detail
Probably the most obvious change in the Remaster is the 3D graphics. While the original in 2000 still appeared in 2D and a resolution of 640x480 (later screwed on by patch on bombastic 800x600), reimrected with completely redesigned graphics.
Especially the lighting effects of spells, torches or lavagrobes dive the dark vaults of the game world of Sanktuario in a pleasantly scary atmosphere.
The clou: You can switch between age and new graphics at the touch of a button. The many small details include developers Vicarious Visions built: Instead of constantly looking-looking walls, for example, bookshelves, niches, altars and other deco, which wonderfully underline the dark Gothic theme. This leaves many well-known places like the monastery, Lut Gohlein or the Berg Arreat and yet appear completely new.
In addition, character models have been improved, the music newly mixed, intermediate sequences completely redesigned and a few Quality of Life functions installed:
a larger booty Shared bank compartments between your characters Automatic collection of gold Sort inventory with a keystroke Fill the belt on command with soaks from the inventory
What has been improved or adapted to the original, you will learn about him video of Gamestar colleague Maurice:
Otherwise, everything remains at the old. Because despite the impressive optical change, resur rat is not a remake, but a remaster. Therefore, you should not expect profound gameplay changes.
Note on the Nintendo Switch version: We would like to give you a first imprint of the switch version to the fall of the embargo. In advance, however, no test keys were issued by Blizzard. That does not have to mean anything, but could be a warning sign that it comes to technical problems on the hybrid console. We will deal with the switch version of Diablo 2 as soon as possible and keep you up to date
Age phrases or timeless?
Loyalty to the original will look forward to many old fans of the masterpiece, but could put particularly new players in their way.
Fall for new players: Still you can still lose your character. Since only a single time per degree of difficulty can be reset the values, it may be that your character can be easily incarable. Then only remains to start. Here we would have been pleased if new players were more under his arms.
The so-called Corps Runs could also have been able to save themselves in 2021. Naked to race for your body and to avoid everything, not fun then and was not better over the years.
Bugs and glitches are not nostalgia! A mystery remain the bugs that were deliberately left in the Remaster to make the feeling unadulterated as possible. These ranges from serious gameplay bugs and the still strunz dentures PET-Ki, to graphic glitches like doors, which although they are open still closed. The fact that the farmers are gone here to show this glitch even in the new graphics engine, more abscuss acts as nostalgic.
Timeless beating and loose: Apart from these small criticisms, Diablo 2 Resurrected produces the same search piral as two decades ago. The hunt for legendary items, rune words or the sword with the perfect sockets still motivates. The characters are gorgeous different and are also wonderful within their class. Do you want to be a necromant with an army of 15 skelets, or rather throw with bones and curves around you? Both are possible and plays a refreshingly different, so it is also worth playing each class several times.
What about the coop?
At the time of the test, the online service from Diablo 2 resurrected was not active yet. This is especially a pity in this case, because a large part of the motivation of the game comes from the active online community and the interaction of the individual classes. According to previous information, up to eight players (up to four on the switch) can jump into the world of Sanctuario.
However, there is a small wedding drop in advance. Who hopes for the Couch Koop by Diablo 3, will be disappointed. ResurRected sets full on the online multiplayer. Also CrossSplay is currently not supported, but Cross Save . Who likes, can transfer his score, for example, from the Nintendo Switch on PlayStation, Xbox or the PC. Prerequisite is of course, you own a version on the respective platform.
Whether we had fun together and the old coop feeling comes up, you will learn in the final test.
