Metacritic users voice their opinions on Diablo Immortal, ranking the title a dismal 0.5 out of 10.

Diablo Immortal is a mobile device centered free to play title, following the series’ RPG staples. It is also an online only MMO, reliant on microtransactions to progress at a decent pace, which is where a lot of backlash is aimed at.

As of the 8th June, the title on Metacritic sits at an incredibly low 0.5/10, with over 2,500 negative ratings, less than a week after release. Similarly, World of Warcraft Classic: Burning Crusade, releasing on the 1st June, sits at this score too with 350 negative ratings. The microtransactions are so prominent, that in an analysis by the YouTube channel Bellular News, the total cost to fully upgrade a character is £88,000.

Diablo Immortal joins the wide range of Blizzard games to have been released in the last 5 years, that have failed to reach an average score amongst fans, including Diablo II: Resurrected, World of Warcraft: Shadowlands and many updates to Hearthstone.

Factors outside of the game’s quality and structure may have affected their scores, such as the recent Activision Blizzard controversies and the game’s director Wyatt Cheng being seen in a disingenuous light, as he stated months prior to release: “In Diablo Immortal, there is no way to acquire or rank up gear using money” only for microtransactions regarding Legendary Gems, a pilar alongside XP level and regular gear for progression to arise. Although the gear itself can’t be purchased, the misinformation surrounding the system is enough for players to lose trust and faith in Activision Blizzard.

<3 thanks for asking.

I don't like it if information is misleading. There's a difference between players liking or not liking a game based on it's merits (which I can accept, not every game is for everybody) vs. liking or not liking a game based on misinformation surrounding it.

As for critics regarding Blizzard games, the worst rated is Warcraft III: Reforged at 59, but it is one of only five games considered “Mediocre” or around the average rating, greatly contrasting player scores. Opposing the user score is the generally favorable 75/100 from 11 critics and Google Play has Diablo Immortal at 3.3/5, as a result of 431,000 reviews and a mix of casual and more seasoned players of the series.

The action RPG that was set to be released this year has been pushed back…

Diablo Immortal was supposed to be released on iOS and Android this year but following feedback provided by test participants of the Closed Alpha, Activision Blizzard is now expecting to release the mobile game in the first half of 2022.

This comes in after a post dealing with the game was uploaded to Blizzard.

Diablo Immortal Updates and Improvements

Diablo Immortal is an upcoming free-to-play action RPG set in the Diablo franchise and is being released on mobile devices only and is set to take place between the events of Diablo II and Diablo III.

However, Activision Blizzard now needs more time to improve certain elements of the game the Closed Alpha group has reported its feedback. This includes things such as; fine-tuning the PvP content by improving matchmaking, earning rankings, class balance, time to kill and other elements of the Battleground system; improving PvE experiences such as adding PvE Raids, adjusting Bounties, and making Challenging Rifts more exciting; and providing controller support to make the game more accessible and making sure the adaptation from the touchpad to controller support works seamlessly.

It will also work on improving the Cycle of Strife endgame content and make that more accessible too.

These changes and additional opportunities to improve our gameplay experience will not be realized in the 2021 timeframe we had previously communicated. So, the game is now planned for release in the first half of 2022, which will allow us to add substantial improvements to the whole game. – Blizzard

This comes in during a difficult time already for Activision Blizzard, with the ongoing lawsuit and harassment allegations taking centre stage in regards to the publisher.
