Metacritic Vows to Enhance Moderation Following Horizon Review Bombing

Metacritic is introducing stricter moderation tools to combat abusive and disrespectful reviews following the review bombing of Horizon Forbidden West's Burning Shores DLC, which included homophobic backlash towards the inclusion of LGBTQ+ representation. The site's team reviews each report of abuse and removes violating reviews, with plans to introduce stricter moderation in the coming months. Despite the review bombing, the DLC has received positive scores from critics.
