Reviews?
When will we get the reviews? Never looks good when a games review embargo is within a day of release

Probably not going to happen a few more days...... even people that already played early are playing at a snail speed.

Just wait to buy untill after the reviews come out. I never buy a game before that, specially since games that has reviews come out after the fact ussualy sucks. Hope thats not the case with this game, but im not taking any chances.

26 hours till release. You can't expect any reasonable publisher to allow reviews this early. It could hurt preorders. Please think of the publishers, people!!!

A guy on youtube was playing it yesterday and he really likes the game for what he's been through (about 3 hours). Apparently, the gameplay is interesting, excellent atmosphere with the music from the movie Aliens during the attacks. Two negative points, the characters are ugly seen up close during the briefings and the dialogues are bad, I don't know if it refers to the dubbing or the writing (or both....). We clearly believe in the movie Aliens with this game, just remains to know if you hang on to this type of gameplay. Personally, I had an overdose of FPS, very happy that we were offered something else to play.

I agree this is not a good look.. these developers are not really good at communicating it seems? couse alot of things are a question mark right now.

Anyways, still excited for the game :P

Would hurt pre orders if the game sucks.

If you believe in your product and have properly tested it to ensure it's not a bugged out mess then early reviews would if anything help sales.

So I guess this tells us something. Don't preorder. Ever. :)

I mean, if good reviews would be rolling in right now and I feel confident enough in these, I could stll preorder. But those preorders months or weeks in advance never make sense.

Also just to let everyone know, skill up won't do a review on it as he is busy with another game (probably final fantasy) https://twitter.com/SkillUpYT/status/1670783911188893696

Umm what? I hope you're being sarcastic. It's quite normal to have reviews a couple of weeks before release, so yes, we can indeed expect it.

No Reviews, no Real gameplay - makes me think that the game could be rather short or not that good in the way it works.
As much as i want to be hyped, having no more info and only some bits of the dev/publisher and maybe some yters who got their copy early, (and i think these only scratched the surface of this game) is like they want to hide something.

Like Weyland Yutani tries to hide what their reasarch is all about. :wrynscared:

(Also im not sure what to think about the xcom bits of this game, its like they try to be xcom like, but having skins for the characters doesnt make it xcom. and this reasearch stuff also looks a bit to basic compared to xcom.)
But yeah, like i said i really hope im wrong, because i kinda want to be hyped for this game and want to play it, if its good.
