'Diablo II: Resurrected' won't reinvent the wheel when the circle was already perfect

The remaster has a huge, overwhelming legacy to live up to. While "Diablo III" is now thought of as an exemplar in the genre and Blizzard's history, it previewed and launched under immense criticism due to how many aesthetic and gameplay changes it made from "Diablo II." It felt faster, and added a dodge mechanic so the game felt more like an action brawler. The characters looked cartoonishly like "Warcraft" creatures. "Diablo II: Resurrected" seeks to retain the darker, gothic appearance of the original two games.
