Diablo 2: Resurrected helped me love my brain - Polygon

I’m not lost, I just don’t know where I’m going.

I’m lost most of the time when I’m playing Diablo 2: Resurrected, but then again, I’m lost most of the time when I drive to the grocery store.

And Diablo 2: Resurrected has almost no such systems.

In a way, Diablo 2 gives everyone a small taste of what it’s like to have my brain when it comes to directions.

Blizzard even thought about changing this aspect of Diablo 2 for Resurrected so it felt more like a modern game, but the team recognized early on how dramatically that would change the experience?

“And a request we got in the play test — very much from people who have never played [Diablo 2] but are used to playing more modern games — will be like, I just got a quest.

We looked into doing something like that, and you’re like, Well, it doesn’t doesn’t break anything, right.

In Diablo 2, it’s not only OK to be lost — it’s freeing.

It’s a novel experience for modern gamers, but it’s also how I make it to the gas station two blocks from my house.
