Buying a game because it claims it is available in your language and then getting served an awful, nonsensical translation is absolutely not a stupid reason to leave a bad review.

This will be fixed in a week or two, but 80% of the reviews will not change. That's just what review bombers do. Many buy the game to jump on the band wagon and refund the game. Review still counts.

Yeah, that's a consequence of putting out a flawed product. Who cares?

In this one case, it kinda sucks for the devs since they presumably had no way of knowing they were releasing a flawed product. It was probably the translator that fucked them over.

Don't sell to markets you don't understand. I don't feel sorry for them, even as a big Hollow Knight fan.

I don't even understand how that logic is supposed to work. Fuck every localisation attempt, then? 99% of games will be English only?
