Many gamers feel that it’s wrong to support the company by buying its products. Mired in lawsuits and stories of workplace violations, power players in the gaming industry - and consumers - are calling Blizzard to task. The controversy here is that for many gamers, the bigger problem was with Blizzard and its parent company. Resurrected lived in neverland, not quite a remake, but slightly more than a re-skin.
Diablo II’s character balancing was still off, movement wasn’t smooth, and inventory was still a pain. Many of the game’s more annoying aspects remained. Unfortunately, that was about all it did. Blizzard and Vicarious visions joined forces for Diablo II Resurrected, which gave the aging game a graphical facelift. The twenty-one year old game imprinted its mechanics on generations of hack-and-slash looters. The result is that Returnal now has a mid-level save system, but whether that improves the game, or takes away a core concept is open to debate.ĭiablo II is one of the most beloved and influential action RPGs of all time. While fans of roguelikes are used to this mechanic, casual action gamers are not. The procedurally generated elements didn’t help. Death anywhere resulted in a level restart back from the beginning. Patched or not, the biggest gripe about Returnal was about its mid-level save-game mechanic. Returnal had some bugs, too, but they eventually got patched out. It was pretty uncompromising, at least for a mainstream, triple-A title. Developer Housemarque delivered a sci-fi themed roguelite with Soulslike combat. There was a lot of pressure on Returnal to be the first big PS5 system seller of 2021.
