Diablo II: Resurrected allows players to switch between the modernised visuals or the classic look on the fly, and believe me, it’ll become immediately clear how good of a job Vicarious Visions have done in re-creating the game.

Nothing opened my eyes more than switching visual modes for the first time. Despite coming out in 2000, Diablo II still looked great in my rose-tinted memory – whether that was with the character models, the locales you explore, or the attacks you perform against enemies. Nostalgia is a funny old thing and it can make you remember old games quite differently. Come on Diablo II is twenty-one years old and has spawned countless titles inspired by its dungeon-crawling antics… players know what to expect from it by now. This review won’t dive into the intricate details of the game too much, but instead the main improvements brought as well as how it performs on the Nintendo Switch. Check out a gallery of screenshots down below: I’m happy to report that the Nintendo Switch version of the game holds up really well too, whilst the general improvements brought with Diablo II: Resurrected help make it the definitive way to experience the epic dungeon-crawling RPG.

Imagine that: being able to play through Diablo II wherever you want in the palms of your hands. Whilst it has released on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, it’s also available on the Nintendo Switch.

In an era of remasters and remakes though, what better time than now for it to makes its debut? Enter Diablo II: Resurrected, a revamped release of the 2000 classic that brings with it all-new visuals, plenty of quality-of-life enhancements, and modernised controls. It seems crazy that Diablo II never made its way to consoles, especially since the first game was released on the PlayStation and the third game has hit pretty much every other modern console.
