Strange Tactics Unleashed: Gamers Favorably Review Skull Island: Rise of Kong to Prevent The Lord of the Rings: Gollum from Winning Worst Game of the Year

There’s something really strange going on with Skull Island: Rise of Kong on Metacritic: some users are reviewing it favorably, not because it’s a good game, but because they don’t want it to beat The Lord of the Rings: Gollum for title of the worst game of the year.

We’ve seen something of a bombardment of positive reviews, even if it’s only a limited number for now, and even if the ultimate goal is still trolling.

However, this doesn’t really matter since the goal seems to have been achieved: Skull Island: Rise of Kong’s average user rating is higher than Gollum’s.
