It ain’t review bombing if the game’s not working properly. That’s just called an accurate review. Of course the gaming journalism industry has to make sure all of its headlines are anti-consumers possible though.
The problem is that you have some weird conception of what “review bombing” means. You seem to be under the misconception that it has something to do with somehow illegitimate reviews.
All that it means is massive amounts of negative reviews in a short time. It’s pretty self-explanatory, really.
That’s the sterilized, literal definition, but it’s very common for “review bombing” to be framed as immature gamers throwing a temper tantrum. It’s denotation vs. connotation.

It’s never framed that way. I know because people complain about it literally every time it’s used in this context.
