At this point, I think it may be worth updating on the review bombing campaign on Metacritic because it's starting to fall apart. There are now nearly as many positive user scores as negative ones. In fact, if current trends continue, positive user reviews for TLOU2 will outnumber negative ones on Metacritic in a matter of days and then become fully the majority shortly thereafter. You can see this trajectory easily by the page numbers. Look at page 1 (the oldest reviews) and they're pretty much all negative. Look at the most recent page though and you'll find they're nearly all positive. That's called people actually completing the game. It seems to make a difference in one's perception!
The trajectory can also be seen by looking at the numbers day to day. In the last 24 hours or so, about 5,000 positive reviews were posted compared to about 2,000 negative ones. That trend is growing in favor of positive scores with each passing day. The margin in their favor keeps getting wider. Expect the average user score to keep going up.
