Diablo II Ressurected is simply a perfect Remake of the Original

Perfect to a fault. I'm not a big fan of just updating the graphics of older games because a lot more has improved in the gaming industry over the years other than just graphics, and Diablo II Resurrected brings everything back from the original, both good and bad. Whenever they do these type of updates I would love them to also bring a lot of optional quality of life improvements so those who want to play a good game can still do so without needing to get bogged down with all of the annoyances from decades ago.

For example: Inventory management is just SO tedious and unnecessary given that it would be easy to just have everything take up less space. Even back in the day people were annoyed by the inventory, so why not just give people a QoL update now that they would have also wanted in the original if it had been available at the time?

I agree with you 100%, and D2 was one of my all-time favorite games. After playing much more fluid games, the mechanics just feel a bit wonky, and the inventory is and was definitely the biggest annoyance. It feels more like a remaster than a remake. Maybe I will pick it up at some point, but I canceled my pre-order for now. Still, glad that some people will be able to (re)experience it. Bilzzard is a mess right now, so fingers crossed on IV.
