So, if you are a Diablo II purist that has been waiting in the wings for yet another excuse to venture back to Sanctuary to mash some demons, then go ahead.

For the first impressions, this is exactly what has been achieved. Diablo II: Resurrected is an impressive transformation in everything that truly counts for a game as beloved and important as this. Improving visual fidelity and overall performance, while ensuring that nothing else is lost in the process. Indeed, with Diablo II: Resurrected, Activision-Blizzard have taken the approach that they want fans to play a version of their ARPG opus that represents the rose-tinted memory and not the aged reality. It’s hard to not to be impressed or surprised then, when playing Diablo II: Resurrected and hitting the L2+Touchpad that you are greeted with exactly the game you once played, in its now ropey and pixelated glory. You would likely remember a realistic, unrelenting game with a dark gothic atmosphere and a consistent sense of dread that permeates the world around you. If, like me you remember those dark fields, the constant barrage of Quill Rats and the Fallen hordes.

Think back to those moments, venturing from the black marshes, through the portal to Tristram. The problem we all have, is that sometimes your memory can be a fickle thing. When it comes to a remaster, there is a fine line between ‘as good as the original’ and ‘as good as you remember it being’.
