It's like the Helldivers 2 incident, but for a single-player game, there's no excuse.

I hate that the term "review bombing" completely generalized to just "a lot of negatively reviewing something". Review bombing is supposed to be negative reviewing that's not relevant to the game, like when it was originally used to speak out against publishers, because, you know, that's the only thing that seemed to get their attention. Now we just have the tools and excuses to just kill genuine criticism.
