Metacritic has actually blocked all negative reviews for TLOU2 however Positive Reviews are still allowed. This explains the score climb.

And gaming sites are now praising the raise in score saying people actually like and that this is a victory against bots. :P

10/10. Well played.

Odd way to look at it as a win. Its not all bots posting negative reviews.

This could become a bad look for Metacritic as they are also deleting actual negative reviews while keeping the positive review bots in the mean time. It can make them look bias and the fact they don't do this with every game. Example: Warcraft Reforge sits on a 0.6/100 with 30,000 Users hating the game shortly after the China protesting incident, that User score has not changed since. Treating some companies with special privileges will only back fire in the long term reputation of the site.

The video below is a good watch about whats happening.

Ill will be making a separate Post about this shortly.
