Much of the work on it was done by Vicarious Visions, a blameless outfit only integrated with Blizzard earlier this year.
In some respects, this beautifully produced remaster of Diablo 2 is unlucky to be Blizzard's first release since the state of California filed suit against the studio.
Availability: Out now on PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5 and Switch. Platform: Played on PC and Xbox Series S. Developer & publisher: Blizzard Entertainment. In the wake of the appalling recent revelations about the studio's "frat boy" culture, this is now a question we have to ask ourselves about Blizzard games, too. Where do you stand on separating the art from the artist? Maybe you've mulled this over when considering whether to watch a Roman Polanski film or listen to a Michael Jackson album - and Lord knows, the history of art would be impoverished indeed if we stripped it of all its monsters. You can't fault the craft of this painstaking remaster, and the game itself still has an ornery magnetism - but Diablo 2 is showing its age.
