Review bombing is when there ends up some kind of coordinated effort to leave many bad reviews (usually of dubious quality) for a business or product, thereby hurting it’s reputation or discouraging others from choosing it.

For instance, the new Starfield game is getting almost exclusively good to great reviews from official outlets. However there was a contingent of people who were upset the game was not going to be released on PS5 who all gave the game bad reviews having never even played it (some before it was even released).

It can also happen with political charged media like movies as well as controversial businesses or business owners.
