Metacritic Vows to Combat Abusive Review Bombing of Horizon Forbidden West DLC.

Metacritic has pledged to introduce stricter moderation after Sony's Horizon: Forbidden West Burning Shores DLC was review bombed by users. The game was criticized for a plot point that allowed players to become romantic with a female character. Metacritic and Fandom have acknowledged the "abusive and disrespectful reviews" and are currently evolving their processes and tools to introduce stricter moderation in the coming months. Guerrilla Games is currently working on an online project set in the Horizon universe, alongside "epic solo adventures" starring series protagonist Aloy.
