The long-awaited expansion for Horizon Forbidden West arrived last week. Burning Shores takes Aloy to Los Angeles (or what's left of it), but the expansion has been met with some criticism as it is exclusively developed for PlayStation 5, which means PlayStation 4 gamers feel let down and some have criticised the expansion's content.

But there is one another thing that is getting the most heat. The average user review score on Metacritic has plummeted over the past few days to 2.7 and we assume you are wondering why? Well, spoiler time, so stop reading if you don't want to know.

Aloy meets a new character named Seyka in the beginning of the new adventure and the two take a liking to each other. There is a kissing scene and this is extremely upsetting to many players and has generated three times as many negative user reviews than positive ones, most of which are about Aloy liking a girl. Because of this, many people claim they will not buy another game from Guerrilla Games ever again.

Is this a reasonable reaction according to you?

REVIEW. Written by Eirik Hyldbakk Furu

Aloy's story looks better than ever and improves upon some aspects of the base game, but still lacks the special something that will stop it from vanishing into the shadows of upcoming games.

REVIEW. Written by Eirik Hyldbakk Furu

The sequel to Horizon: Zero Dawn does everything better, but still falls short compared to some of the best in the genre.
