Diablo Immortal has the lowest user score for any PC game ever made on Metacritic.
On iOS, it currently scores a miserable 0.5 out of 10, while on PC it’s even lower: 0.2.
Metacritic – which aggregates scores from professional critics and everyday gamers alike – ranks Diablo Immortal PC’s release 12,451 out of 12,451, making it the most unpopular PC game ever (thanks, VGC). Compared to other mobile games, it does a little better, but not much: there, it’s 1903 out of 1921.

As players accepted patch 1.07 – which made it even harder for players to unlock new cars without resorting to microtransactions – that rating dropped again, falling to just 2.3 from over 4,300 user reviews. Today, it’s even lower, standing at just 2.0 on over 10,503 user ratings. This is a stark contrast to the critical score, which currently sits at 87.
