One thing I would like to see is the ability to purchase extra Shared or Personal Tabs. I can place gear there for my other class characters, and when I login with other characters, I open the Shared Stash and move the class-specific items to the Personal Stash. The best Quality of Life feature in Diablo II: Resurrected has to be the Shared Stash. Press your mouse button or any Keyboard key, and it switches to PC UI. Simply press any button in your Xbox controller, and the UI switches to Console UI. Switching between the PC and Console UI is very straightforward. So that’s how I played after the D2R launch, and I don’t think I am going back to keyboard and mouse ever again. I tested it for Diablo II technical alpha and beta and fell in love with this new way of playing Diablo II. I purchased an Xbox controller for PC some time ago that I rarely use. So I am not used to controllers beyond the Atari, Super Nintendo, Sega, and GameCube 64 I owned years ago. I have never owned an Xbox or PlayStation console. (This is the Xbox Controller I am playing with) I haven’t had this much fun playing Diablo II. Vicarious Visions and Blizzard Entertainment deserve praise for adding controller support and a separate controller UI. The best part about defeating Diablo was how fluid the gameplay experience feels like with an Xbox controller on my Windows 10 PC - versus 20 years ago with a keyboard and mouse. The only difference is that now it was on my terms, with far more knowledge about the game than I did back then. It was so satisfying to kill Diablo after so many years. I simply killed him just using Blaze, Frost armor and Blizzard. I went a bit further with the Sorceress and defeated Diablo without dying. I can’t say the same 20 years ago, when the inexperienced me died multiple times to Duriel. Played all four classes up to Duriel, killing him successfully without dying. Started a Barbarian on the side, and plan to test a Bow Amazon later. So far, I have played a Zeal Paladin, a Blizzard/Blaze Sorcerer, and a Summon Necromancer that I intend to respec to Poison Nova at a later time. Time just flies, and before I know it, I have been glued several hours to the game.

I could go through the storyline fast, by skipping areas but the completionist in me has to clear all monsters, and click every single treasure chest, bone pile, and jars I encounter in my path.

Since launch, I have sometimes played over 10 hours per day. I can’t remember playing so much Diablo II. Blizzplanet Review: Diablo II: Resurrectedĭiablo II is the action roleplaying game that set the standard for similar games for the past couple of decades.
