Welcome to the first episode of Ctrl Alt Discuss! In our debut episode, we dive headfirst into one of gaming’s most controversial trends: review bombing. Why do players do it? When is it justified? And how does it shape the gaming industry and community today?We unpack the phenomenon through the lens of recent titles like Ghost of Yotei, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, The Last of Us Part II, and many more, exploring how online reactions can influence perception long before (and after) a game’s release.
