Metacritic has removed over 6,000 negative Death Stranding ratings

It's worth noting that Metacritic only deleted people's number ratings. User reviews were not removed as ratings can be submitted without a review. IGN points out that the site's terms of service state it can remove user submissions "without notice."

Review bombings are something Steam is familiar with. Valve's online store has brought in several features to address the problem, including an "off-topic filter," which excludes these revie
