The ratings for Diablo 4 in the overview.
Diablo is one of the most popular action RPG series ever, the gripping “looting and leveling” principle has brought the series a large fan base over the years. And that’s exactly what should have looked with eagle eyes at the first reviews and tests of the latest part Diablo 4, which should have been published since Tuesday of this week. And they show very clearly that Blizzard has done quite a lot right here.
In any case, the relevant rating aggregation sites currently have very presentable average scores for the Hack&Slay.
In our list you will find an overview of some selected test ratings for Diablo 4:
| magazine | rating |
|---|---|
| GameStar | 85 to 95 (scoring bias) |
| IGN | 9/10 |
| Games Radar+ | 5/5 |
| destructoid | 8/10 |
| shack news | 8/10 |
| God is a geek | 9/10 |
| Game Rant | 4.5/5 |
| gaming trend | 10/10 |
| Windows Central | 5/5 |
| Push Square | 9/10 |
This makes Diablo 4 the best Blizzard game in years in Metacritic ratings. More precisely, since Overwatch, which sacked an average rating of 90 almost 7 years ago. The current part currently surpasses its predecessor Diablo 3 by a few points, and Diablo 4 seems to be a highlight of the series history in any case.
