Horizon Forbidden West DLC is being review bombed after LGBT character reveal Guerilla GamesWarning: the following article contains spoilers regarding Horizon Forbidden West\u2019s Burning Shores expansion. Some players are review-bombing the DLC due to its introduction of a significant LGBT character. On April 19, Horizon Forbidden West received a Burning Shores expansion over a year after its initial release. The DLC follows Aloy throughout sunny apocalyptic Los Angeles \u2013 unlike Zero Dawn\u2019s Frozen Wilds area. In addition to new machines, Burning Shores introduced never-before-seen characters like Aloy\u2019s companion Seyka. With Aloy\u2019s romantic relationship with the Quen marine, a few fans have taken to Metacritic to express their disappointment with the franchise\u2019s direction. Horizon Forbidden West DLC review bomb targets LGBT character At the time of writing, Burning Shores stands at an abysmal 4.4\/10 rating on Metacritic. Additionally, the DLC has 81 average critic Metascore. Most bad reviews blast Guerilla for enforcing its \u201cagenda\u201d instead of focusing on the main story. \u201cDisappointment. The whole time I had the feeling that DLC was only to push down my throat love interest for Aloy, and I hate it,\u201d promks wrote. \u201cThere were some cool moments and findings, and overall gameplay is as good as in the main game, but everything was overshadowed by this unnecessary forced romance.\u201d Besides LGBT content, players criticized the shortness of the Burning Shores expansion. \u201cThere\u2019s just barely side content and five missions to finish it,\u201d cyberkevin remarked. \u201cIt still took me 10 hours, can\u2019t say it wasn\u2019t worth it, but I felt like it\u2019s just a REALLY SMALL addition to the game, not enough to go back to it once it\u2019s done.\u201d Before Horizon confirmed Aloy to be queer, fans theorized about her sexuality. Some assumed she was aromantic or asexual. Now, one dialogue scene between Aloy and Seyka finally reveals her preferred love interests.
