Diablo 4 is being hammered on Metacritic and it’s not just because of Patch 1.1

Diablo 4 is getting bombarded on Metacritic despite its popularity—and the disappointment surrounding Patch 1.1 is not the only reason for the user reviews.

Released on June 6, Diablo 4 achieved record sale numbers for Blizzard and enjoyed a surge in popularity, with further content set to be added to the game in season one, which is dropping on July 20. But the 1.1 patch notes have been widely criticized by the community for significant nerfs across the board that reduce damage output, make leveling harder, and kill some of the most popular builds in the game.
