Gamers are review gaslighting Rise of Kong to make sure Gollum is 2023\u2019s worst game SteamRise of Kong players are turning in positive reviews for the game so that Gollum remains this year\u2019s lowest rated title in what seems to be the polar opposite of review bombing. 2023\u2019s been a good year for gaming, as titles such as Baldur\u2019s Gate, Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2 will battle for top contenders of Game of the Year. Not to mention Alan Wake 2 is still on the way. Despite the amazing slew of titles released, 2023 has had a few stinkers. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum and the recently released Skull Island: Rise of Kong are two of this year\u2019s worst-rated titles. Gollum\u2019s debacle has come and gone, yet the latter title\u2019s journey is far from over. Fans are taking to the game\u2019s Metacritic to share their \u201clove\u201d for the title while keeping Gollum down in the dumps. Rise of Kong sees a boost in positive reviews LOTR: Gollum raised plenty of eyebrows when it was released for its abysmal technical state. The drama didn\u2019t stop there as the developers issued an apology, which was claimed to be written by ChatGPT. Gollum currently sits at a 1.1 on Metacritic. Skull Island: Rise of Kong was released in a similar state, as fans labeled it a \u201ccomplete scam.\u201d Yet somehow, it boasts a 3.8 rating on Metacritic. In a surprise turn of events, that rating has risen over the past few days. On the title\u2019s Metacritic page, some fans have \u201creview gaslit\u201d the title, as a flood of perfect scores have come in. One reviewer, aptly named Vo1demort, left a 9. \u201cA truly hidden gem that is worth looking at. The game\u2019s unique flavour and simplicity made for a fun and lighthearted experience that was a nice change from some overly complicated and layered games. Beating up enemies as Kong as extremely satisfying. The game overall leaves a lot of room for a sequel that will be even more fun and expansive.\u201d \u201cThis is honestly one of the best games I\u2019ve ever played. I actually enjoyed this game very much, I don\u2019t know why everyone hates this game. Maybe they are just review bombing,\u201d reviewed another player, who left a 10. Another player simply stated, \u201cLeave monke ALONE !\u201d with a 9\/10 score. Similar reviews follow the same flow, as many players profess their love for Rise of Kong. While many argued that Rise of Kong could give Gollum a run for its money as 2023\u2019s worst game, some tongue-in-cheek King Kong fans are determined to make sure its rating clears the high-profile LOTR failure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
