Review bombing is a hard term to nail down. Usually, it means that there’s a concentrated effort to bring down a review score, while sometimes said reasoning is largely unrelated to the game. Life is Strange: True Colors’ review bombing is a good example of this, as it was concentrated and largely unrelated due to a certain flag being the game. With Diablo 2: Resurrected, the review bombing is primarily focused on the game and is not the most concentrated review bombing ever seen, but the negative reviews are quickly overwhelming the good with many expressing the same concerns and using similar terminology.

*appears to be a slight exception to the trend, if not the most definitive

Perhaps the worst among several of these comments is the comparison of Diablo 2: Resurrected to Warcraft 3: Reforged, with many complaining that both of these remasters are of the same essential, lackluster quality. Ultimately, it remains to be seen how the game stands when the “review period” from users, how Blizzard responds to these criticisms, and how this impacts the game long-term.

Diablo 2: Resurrected is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
