Following The Last of Us Part 2, Metacritic is Delaying Its User Reviews

Metacritic has announced that it is delaying its user reviews until 36 hours after a game is released, in an attempt to help stop "review bombers" from bringing a score down before actually playing it.
This news comes only a few weeks following the release of The Last of Us Part 2.
