April 22th, Still no review, something fishy

[ADHDmania]

I remember when game companies don't allow review until the release day, that game usually turns out bad or at least have some serious problem.

I am very excited for this game, and I keep check youtube for review for 3 days, nothing, not even a leak. This makes me worried

Embargo lifts on the 23rd

Reviews embargo is decided months before reviewers test the game.
It's just part of the marketing schedule. The closer to release, the more attraction you can get on day one.
Also it can also be to avoid spoilers as much as possible because it's a story-heavy game.

This.
You will have a day before the release to see reviews.

But lets be honest, you already know if you want the game or not, atleast from a gameplay perspective.. the reviews will merely be for performance issues.

I see plenty of review videos on YouTube. Well for the early access version anyways. Is that not enough to tell if you want to buy?

So far all reviews i have seen have been extremely positive. They only played what is effectively a demo for a few hours, but all seem to agree this game is something special.

I predict this game will be a solid 9/10 for many. A 7 or 8 for those that the story didn't really click for. The game just does so many things right. This game is also just a giant middle finger to basically every triple A developer since these guys made this game with like 30 people lmao.

Embargo lifts Wednesday at 5AM EST

I don't see the conspiracy. Review Embargoes are about timing the hype and attention, and to prevent a "first to finish, first to post, first to get views" race between the reviewers. It's more fair to the various platforms, and (theoretically) keeps them from skimping on the quality of their review just to get it out before the others.

There is nothing fishy about anything regarding this game. If they did not feel confident in the game they would not have literally given access to every creator on youtube the 3 hr demo which shows quite a chunk of early game play. Every single person I watched play the demo was amazed and loved the game and could not wait for the release. If that does not help you to decide on the game then Op Just wait till reviews come out the day before.

Brother, embargos have been like this for a WHILE now, lol. No company does the thing where they review a game like a week in advance any more. It's usually ON release day or the day before.

That's pretty much the standard now.

[smol pp big balls]

They sent out an extended demo to a lot of content creators on youtube, and they were allowed to stream/record their entire playthrough and upload/review it. Pretty much everyone who played it says it's incredible. The embargo is likely just to hide the endgame stuff to keep hype levels elevated. The demo that was sent out to people is more than enough to decide whether you like the artstyle/music/battle system/ etc.

We have reviews tho, a month or so ago the devs gave out preview demos to content creators and some reviewers. Most if not all of those people have said that the game is really good and couldn't wait to play it more.

You really think those people will say something negative about the game? LOL
