I replayed a game that was foundational to the medium - and it still holds up.
Walking back into this game over 20 years later was a wild experience for me. I chose the Druid this time and once again set off into Tristram to surround myself with the blood of dead demons and piles of loot. At least for now, I will be playing alone. My brothers are interested in the game but did not get into the beta. It is 2021 and I got access to the beta for Diablo 2: Resurrected for my gaming PC. Blood and guts poured out of these demons as they gasped horribly during their final breaths. I started off as a Barbarian, with two giant axes in my hand as I traveled across Tristram, killing every demon that I came across.
One of us would play the game while the other two hovered over the computer chair waiting anxiously for their turn. It is the year 2000 and my brothers and I convinced my parents to buy us Diablo 2 for our family’s Mac desktop.
