DIABLO II: RESURRECTED

While Diablo II: Resurrected overhauls Diablo II’s graphics, underneath the new 3D models, dynamic lighting, and shiny puddles it’s the same action RPG I was click-click-clicking through 21 years ago. It feels a bit simplistic today (the skill tree is tiny!), but that only makes me like it more. Diablo II still rules.

There are little tells that Resurrected is just a costume—the way the character model gently snaps to the eight directions the original sprite can face, for example—but I might not have believed that it’s truly just a high-res version of Diablo II if it weren’t possible to unmask. Press G, and the 4K world dissolves into the original low-res renders. It’s extremely cool.
