    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.
