Having expectations is okay, but they will require a bit of adjustment. Big Torchlight fan? Well, it’s very much based on Diablo 2, but it also made its own changes. Grim Dawn, Wolcen, Path of Exile, all of these games came out after this one, after all. And that’s fine, it’s a good game, but it means you may have certain expectations when it comes to the franchise, and Diablo 2: Resurrected is not necessarily going to meet those expectations.Įven if you never played Diablo 3, you may be coming to Diablo 2: Resurrected from one of its spiritual successors - that is to say, any ARPG published after it.
It’s entirely possible that for a whole generation of gamers, Diablo 3 is the game they think of when they think of the franchise. If you were born after 2000, first off, congratulations on making me feel like a shriveled animated corpse driven from its tomb, but also, congratulations on being younger than Diablo 2. The premier game in ARPGs was released in 2000, and we’ve seen a whole Diablo game released since then, 2012’s Diablo 3.
