Review bombing has been somewhat of an issue on Metacritic for a long time. However, it arguably hit a new low once The Last of Us Part II released last month. Within hours of the sequel?s launch, people who hadn?t even played the game were overwhelming Metacritic?s user reviews with absurdly low scores. Now it seems the review website is taking matters into its own hands by not allowing users to review titles on launch day.
A post on ResetEra notes that user reviews for Superluminal, which just came to PS4 on July 7th, are not available at present. ?Please spend some time playing the game,? reads a tag on the Superluminal Metacritic page. That note is followed by another that tells visitors to ?come back to review it starting at 12:00PM PST on July 9.?
