Resident Evil 4 Remake Review Bombed for Being ‘Woke’
Resident Evil 4 Remake is the latest game to be review bombed on Metacritic. As the world struggles to define what “woke” means, gamers have defined it as the inability to look up a female character’s skirt or the lack of large in-game breasts. The horror.
Resident Evil 4 Remake is being review bombed across all platforms
Trolls have spared no platform. As pointed out on ResetEra and Reddit, Resident Evil 4 Remake is being review bombed across all platforms listed on Metacritic, bringing its user scores down so low that they look ridiculous compared to the overwhelmingly positive critic reception.
“It’s even woke in areas,” reads one review that doesn’t explain what on earth that means. “Ada Wong censored,” complains another. “Ashley censored, politically correct reworks of dialogues.”
Other 0/10 reviews complain about Ashley’s tights and bits, among other things.
Last week, Ada Wong voice actress Lilly Gao faced an intense harassment campaign from players who were upset about the original voice actress (Jolene Anderson) being replaced. The relentless attacks caused Gao to remove all her posts from her Instagram profile and later scrub her social media presence.
It’s unclear if Metacritic is taking any action against the review bombing, which has been ongoing for almost a week now. Capcom has not addressed the issue.
