I've literally just signed up to voice my concern over this article. Not going to comment on the game, but Liam you need to review your techniques as a report. You have broken so many rules for being a good reporter with this article. So much so I will likely now stop using this website in any meaningful way. Don't worry you aren't the only reporter making this mistake right now, but please make a stand and change.
The metacritic down voters were expressing their opinion and if you read them, some actually articulate their reasons well. Regardless of if anyone agrees with them it is vital that you allow them to express their opinions. Freedom of speech is incredibly important to avoid Tyrants and bullies having the ability to take control. Liam, your articles sub-line is "Shameful" and reading the article it's obvious you have a political and social stance. You have used your power as a reporter to push your own opinion. Your duty as a reporter is to protect the freedom of your users to have their own opinion. To do this you need to remain impartial.
When games, movies and tv shows have now entirely become about pushing agendas and propaganda I think it is fine for people to use tools like Metacritic to protest their concerns. From what I've read into peoples comments it appears this games has pushed it's agenda at the cost of good story telling. I don't see how you can then judge them for pushing their own agendas in their metacritic comments.
Liam as a professional reporter, please stay impartial and don't give in to pushing your own agenda through the articles you write.
I hope in the future you learn from the mistakes you made, when writing this article.
I may visit occasionally to see if you have progressed, good luck.
