The Last of Us 2 and review bombing: Metacritic reviews the system

The release of The Last of Us 2 made noise, exactly as everyone expected but not always for the long-awaited reasons. One of the fuss that arose at the passage of Naughty Dog's last work concerns the review bombing case on Metacrtic. Numerous users wanted to make their dissent felt regarding some issues expressed in the game and for some plot implications that did not really convince such players, bombing the title of reviews that define negative is to say the least.

After that the matter went on and was discussed for several weeks, Metacrtic finally decided to revise its system until it was modified. The change made to the online review aggregator is clear; if you want to post your opinion on a specific game, you will have to wait for the aforementioned to be first released on the market. The site has been set up so that user reviews can only be expressed after the game has been made available.

It must be said, however, that the fury against The Last of Us 2 by a noisy slice of players has not affected the success of the game which, in the course of a few days since its release, has managed to reach the beauty of 4 million copies sold worldwide. A clear sign of how the whole question of a possible mass boycott by some players has not in the least affected how the new PlayStation 4 exclusive has been accepted.

We remind you that The Last of Us is therefore already available for purchase only on the PlayStation 4 platform. as regards Metacritic and its new criterion, it is to be seen how it will be exploited by users in the future, hoping to no longer find ourselves in front of such a situation.
