Game On: Metacritic change hinders consumer reviews

In late June, I penned the article “The Last of Us Part II highlights Metacritic issues,” and it seems they agree. A Metacritic official announced that the review aggregator will henceforth delay the ability to submit user reviews for newly released video games for the first 36 hours.

The Metacritic Pro and User score for Kingdom Come: Deliverance is currently 75 and 8.1 respectively. I think the devs should be proud. : r/kingdomcome
