New bombardment of criticism and anger accompanied by a "0" in the title rating prevent seeing the reality of global user ratings.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has also been peppered by a review bombing case on Metacritic. The new episode of the saga, available for less than a week on Nintendo Switch, is now affected by a barrage of negative reviews – generally 0 out of 10 – by hundreds of users who angrily wield some of the limitations of the game.
The criticisms of this review bombing, as in any other case of this type where disrespectful evaluations are poured and without entering into reason, allude to limitations in the multiplayer and individual mode. At the moment, if by the press it finds a 91 out of 100 in Metacritic (63 reviews considered by the web portal), the average mark of the users is 6.3 with a total of 1361 reviews; Of these, 493 are negative and 832 positive.
The comments, mainly in English, blame Nintendo for the inability to create more than one island on the console even though we have more than one account. In this way, even if there are two, three or more saved games, they will all share the same island. It is unknown if Nintendo will apply changes in this regard in the future or if they will leave it as it was originally planned to prevent problems, manipulations or cheating with the saved data. It should also be said that in any previous delivery of the console you could have more than one island per cartridge.
Generally, the editors of Metacritic go on to eliminate all these criticisms, which do not reflect a cohesive opinion between the text and the rating (0, 1, 2) over the days if the rules of use of the web portal are breached.
