Diablo 2 Resurrected Season 10 makes me wish it had Path of Exile’s ambition

Diablo 2 Resurrected Season 10 is underway, and that should be cause for celebration. The iconic ARPG built on Blizzard’s first outing and set the standard for basically every game that followed in its dungeon-crawling, loot-hauling footsteps. It might be a little clunky by modern standards, but there’s a special sauce to its brand of Sanctuary that still tastes sweet to this day. Despite going to the trouble of a full remaster, however, Blizzard has let D2 fall silent since the launch of Diablo 4, and it feels like a tremendous wasted opportunity when viewed alongside the efforts of its closest rival, Path of Exile.
