The completely redone graphics of Resurrected do so much more than a simple homage to the original game, adding a whole third dimension as well as 4K-friendly environment details that were just out of the question in the 800圆00 2D graphics of 2000. In the face of concessions that modern games have made towards fun, Diablo 2's insistence on grind and unforgiving systems and 20-year-old bugs can just make me feel… tired. At the same time, it's blatantly a game from an era where the demands on our time were very different than what we’ve seen in the past decade. As someone who played more than my fair share of Diablo 2 between 20, Resurrected absolutely scratches an itch for the golden age of this genre. After a hundred hours smashing demons, I've kicked Diablo to the curb a couple times and I'm thoroughly reacquainted with the good and the bad that the most revered game in Blizzard’s action RPG series has to offer. I mean, come on, Marius, that guy was absolutely the last person you should have ever listened to.Nothing more than a coat of fresh paint over the old masterpiece, Diablo 2: Resurrected is a curious piece of video game restoration. But in D2R it’s y’boy T, flying around with those giant glowing whips for wings and just throwing down with the big D in his unfortunate meat body.Īnd yes, of course, Marius makes yet another in a series of truly awful decisions.

We didn’t get to see Tyrael as Tyrael much in Diablo 3, due to that whole pesky giving up his Angel-ness thing. What’s really amazing in this cinematic is getting to see Tyrael in action throughout these cleaner, clearer, and more detailed cinematics. Or at least almost , if not for the heroic actions of a brave hero (or heroes if you’re playing multiplayer). Look, without wanting to dump a ton of spoilers on you, all I can really say about the Act 3 cinematic is that it really highlights how one man can make a series of ever escalating bad choices, and those bad choices can eventually become so bad that they lead up to the destruction of the world. Watch Marius make very bad decisions in glorious detail
