Diablo II2000

What do I say about Diablo 2? Anyone who has read my other tests on the Diablo parts knows that it comes to number 3 in the row for me. However, this placement is from today's point of view and the genre of action role-playing games has now evolved. BUT!!! That doesn’t mean I think Diablo 2 is bad. Diablo 2 has a very special place in my heart alongside Diablo 1. Because both parts are absolute childhood memories for me. Diablo 2 was the first game I searched for over 1000 hours. It was the first game that drew me into his world in such a way that there was no other topic for me. It is still the game that has shaped the genre of action role-playing like no other game. And it was years ahead of its time. Blizzard has created many masterpieces... Warcraft 1-3, Starcraft, World of Warcraft, Rock n Roll Racing, Lost Vikings. I could go on like this forever. And I gambled, searched and loved them all. But none of them came to Diablo 2 for me. Even my mom realized that this game was something special for me. And even though she was against the gamble and never bought me a game like that, she made an exception with Diablo 2 when she saw my face, when we stood at Kaufhof in front of the altar on which the Diablo Games were built. That was the only time she did that. Let’s get to the actual review. Graphically, it was no longer Up to date at that time, but graphics rarely awarded Blizzard Games. The art style is beyond doubt to this day. The interplay of the dark scenery that showed the atrocities of the hordes of hell, the music and the oppressive atmosphere are still unique today. The skill system is still the best of the series in my eyes and the addiction factor is unbroken. Of course, dad inventory management is no longer up-to-date and there are simply some quality of life features that would have been good for the remake, but these are still small things in my eyes. It was groundbreaking and it is still a fantastic game of a fantastic series.
