Update: The YouTuber who was thought to be the reason behind 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sonic Frontiers being review-bombed has offered their take the incident, claiming that it's not their fans at all, and laying tဣhe blame on Sonic fans.
Earlier today YouTuber Video Game Dunkey took to to claim "Sonic fans are 𝓰review bombing their own favorite game to make my fans look bad." Dunkey claims that the usernames were a dead giveaway with several having ꧟names such as "DunkeyLover2005" or "Dunkeyfan123."
In a follow-up tweet, Dunkey explained more by saying: "In the end﷽, way more positive reviews are being left than negative (and it is 90% Sonic fans leaving both), and my intention was never to send review bo🍃mbers."
Another tweet then followed: "I just wanted to make an entertaining video on a game I didn't really like,▨ and I was shocked by the user scores so I included it. I can't be alone in feeling crazy when seeing them."

Original story: Sonic Frontiers is getting revi𓄧ew-bombed after YouTuber Dunkey posted a ne𒁃gative review of the new platformer.
Dunkey is, if you're unfamiliar, a YouTuber with a huge following, at over 7.2 million subscribers. When the content creator🔯 posted their Sonic Frontiers review yesterday on November 13, it didn't take long for the video to storm past one million views, giving audiences a look into Dunkey's experience with Team So🐠nic's new adventure.
That experience🌊 was markedly negative, as you can tell from the video review itself just above. Dunkey isn't having any fun with Sonic Frontiers at all, showcasing the very worst elements of the new game, such as invisiꦚble walls and progression systems, for his huge audience to see.
This was shortly followed by Dunkey's viewers review-bombing Sonic Frontiers on Metacritic. As you can see in the tweet just below, hordes of Metacritic users are revi🎶ew scoring Sonic Frontiers as a zero out of 10, even in some cases writing that Dunkey's review prompted them to give out such a negative score.

What's 𓂃more, most users posting the overly-negative reviews freely admit they haven't even played Sonic Frontiers. Plenty of the reviews write about how the game looks from trailers and pre-release footage, as well as Dunkey's reviews honing in on the worst parts of the game (in the YouTuber's opinion).
However💦, this review-bombing hasn't actually harmed Sonic Frontiers' overall Metacritic user review scores. Heading over to , you can see that all versions of the new game sit at above an 8.0 for their review scores, with the lone exception being the Xbox One version, which is currently at the 7.8 mark. Dunkey's fans might want to see Sonic Frontiers drop its user review scores, but it looks like the reviews haven't a♚ctually made an impact.
