O tempora is a series of retrospective posts where I play games from ages before to see if they stood the test of time.
Okay, confession time. People love Diablo II. For many it has been THE Diablo game to play and it has been extremely influential, canonizing a lot of concepts that are still in use today. But I never liked it much. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve finished Lord of Destruction before – the expansion pack for the game, though I definitely remember finishing the Act IV. But I did respect the game and, given how much praise this title has always received, always planned to revisit it. Now that a genuinely fantastic remaster Diablo II: Resurrected is available and I’ve finished replaying the original Diablo with its expansion, I went in and played the sequel too. And finally enjoyed it.
