And as one of seven adventurers, your main objective is to prevent the Dark Wanderer from reuniting with his brothers Mephisto and Baal from causing an armageddon of catastrophic proportions. After the events of the first game, the hero who slayed Diablo has since become corrupted by the demon’s spirit. Unsurprisingly, the plot of Diablo 2: Resurrected remains unchanged from the original. Watching my lightning bolts illuminate the space in front of me was especially enjoyable, thanks to the terrific lighting technology at play. In a world left pillaged and arid, your actions turn the battlefield into a vivid ballet of gore and magic. It’s a lot less cinematic than Diablo 3, but the environments and characters here are rendered in superb detail, with enemy demons looking particularly crisp and evil in dank caves or fields.

With a push of a button, you can switch between the new 4K, remade graphics and the original to really get a sense of how far the franchise has grown. Make no mistake – this is Diablo 2 with a new coat of paint in the truest of terms. Our VIDEO REVIEW of Diablo 2: Resurrected! Turning Back The Clock in Diablo 2: Resurrected
