Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Is it really review bombing when the complaints are valid?
If they haven't played it, yes. You can't "re-view" something you haven't viewed in the first place.
So taking an aspect of the game and writing a review of it without actually playing it is review bombing.
I'm not saying it's wrong to review bomb, as this deserves it. But reviews are supposed to be for those that have already consumed the product or used the service.
On one hand I agree with you on the other I think it’s fine to review the product from the shelf when it launched with over 40 dollars of dlc.
Like I said, I don't think it's wrong to review bomb. It's just not an actual "review." It's certainly an expression or opinion of distaste, which is why it's warranted, just not a review.
