"Fandom is a place of belonging for all fans an💃d we take online trust and safety very seriously across all our sites including Metacritic. Metacritic is aware of the abusive and disrespectful reviews of Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores and we have a moderation system in place to track violations of our terms of use," Metacritic's statement reads.
"Our team revie🔜ws each and every report of abuse (including but not limited to racist, sexist, homophobic, insults to other users, etc) and if🅘 violations occur, the reviews are removed. We are currently evolving our processes and tools to introduce stricter moderation in the coming months," the statement from the website concludes.
Metacrit☂ic stops short of outlining what these tools to tackle hateful and abusive messages actually are. As Eurogamer notes, however, Metacritic has already begun manually removing select user reviews from its website for Horizon Forbidden West's Burning Shores DLC.
