Diablo II Resurrected offers up almost exactly the same game of 21 years ago to a fault. An unapologetic, brutal action RPG that feels incredibly jarring when compared to its modern successors. It’s intimidating, frustrating, and oddly refreshing at times. Resurrected brings a significant visual overhaul (with the option to switch back to the original
