Depends the heuristics used. Bombing reviews most times do not cite their contentions, which can be dismissed.

Review bombing requires

  1. A scandal, and there's no indication Half Moon was involved in any such.
  2. Coordination, which is easy enough to find on Google or elsewhere. Again, no indication of such.
  3. Most of the time, at least some reviews in the bomb will state why they are downvoting the game. No indication of such.

Sometimes bad reviews are just bad reviews.
