Available for just a few days, the Burning Shores extension for the game Horizon 2 Forbidden West is the victim of review bombing, especially on Metacritic, which means that the game is the victim of a rain of bad ratings from players, outraged by a particular scene that takes place at the end of the game. It is neither more nor less than the coming out of Aloy, the main heroine, who kisses Seyka, the new character introduced in this DLC. Being part of the Quen, a very dirigiste tribe, Seyka will finally seduce Aloy and then become her girlfriend, something that many players do not seem to accept. For some, it’s “forcing, the obligation to highlight this woke philosophy that has hit pop culture for a few years”. Others believe that “The Last of Us had already pushed the slider far enough, and there was no need to make Aloy another lesbian heroine”. Result, with a user rating of 4/10 (against 82% for the press)the DLC is torpedoed by this review bombing, which has probably become a subject for Metacritic, which is thinking about a system to prevent this system from interfering with works such as video games.
