Diablo + Hellfire

The game has aged like milk in an oven. But it's one of those games you need to experience atleast once in your life.

On one hand, it's a classic game that spawned a truly iconic franchise. On the other, its first sequel and many of its clones frankly do its thing better in all ways (while D3 is a somewhat different game altogether); I think the only thing I actually miss from D1 when playing D2 is playing a warrior and still being able to learn spells. On one hand, it was a downright mesmerizing experience back in the day, but on the other it's neither the best of its kind, nor actually the first of its kind, either - it was just the most accessible and best presented example of its kind back in its day. Which is nothing to sneeze at, to be clear, but that kind of distinction usually ages badly, and I feel like it's probably the case here. And finally, on one hand, it's great to finally have it available in digital format... but on the other, it doesn't come with the expansion, and you can get physical copies of both for less money than this. All in all, I honestly want to give this release both two AND four stars, and feel that averaging it out to three doesn't really convey my feelings...

Unfortunately my trigger finger doesn't hold up anymore. Couldn't Blizzard release a patch where you could just hold down instead of repeatedly clinking to attack?

For goodness sake, please make it multiplatform like the original release!

Diablo is, of course, one of the greatest games of all time. And multiplayer is a huge part of the game. That's why it is especially disappointing that in this GOG version, there is a bug that prevents anyone from joining any one else's game on Nightmare or Hell difficulty. This is not a minor annoyance, but an experience-wrecking bug. Now that I am of Nightmare level, I am very disappointed. It is hard to imagine how this could have been released with such a devastating flaw. -Oblaram the Sad Sorcerer
