Diablo II was released back in 2000, and not only has it aged incredibly well, I would still argue that everything about the first hour (or more!) of the experience is PERFECT!!
Remembering Diablo 2 in 2020, on the 20th anniversary of this legendary game only seems fitting.
Over the years I have probably completed Diablo 2 with dozens of characters. But I would estimate I've played Diablo II intro closer to a hundred times. That's not to say that the rest of the game doesn't live up to that initial excellence, but those early stages of the game are crafted with such love and care, that it creates one of the most memorable gaming experiences of my childhood and life.
Maybe someday we'll get that Diablo 2 remake or remaster that we've all been begging for. But for now I am content to revel in the nostalgia of Diablo II's soundtrack, and wonderful game design in it's current form. Maybe a Diablo 2 remaster would never live up anyway? We all saw what happened with Reforged...
Thank you all for allowing me to gush, and share a video about a game that I love!
