I mean it looks fine, but the animation is rough and... it's kind of lost a lot of its charm.
I know i'm old and don't care about graphics anymore, but there's loads of games that play like Diablo and look modern, i was kind of hoping they'd redraw the sprites, watching the trailer i don't even feel like i'm looking at Diablo 2.
