Review embargo lift time?

[walentaz]

^^ not interested in game but interested in seeing confirmation of another $200M AAA title bringing absolutely nothing to the table.

[Wonyo]

I saw one review out, but only one, so probably not yet.
That one must have been an error.
And yes, conclusion is it is middle of the road. Like this kinda game, you'll like it otherwise...
Too many great games out lately, this stood no chance anyway

I have seen 2, both medicore at best. But they took the reviews down :P

[Mr_Bloodjack]

You can smell it from very far! It's a "forspoken" or "atlas fallen" game. Put everything on visual, gameplay will be nothing new at best if the game works on launch.

[FlippinRad]

I was going to ask the same question.
Comes out today/tomorrow, EA game and no reviews?
Red flag.

[Mr. No_Effs_Given]

I'm more interested on the performance analysis. Although not interested on this one at all, will be interesting to see how it performs.

Found some article briefly talking too early posted reviews. As expected - another AAA game with big budget bringing absolutely nothing to the table, only requiring NASA PC to run and even that with aggressive upscaling accounted for (read: zero optimization) by default.

Well, to be expected. Disappointing.

If it was good, there would have been reviews a week ago to build hype. There are a few exceptions, but generally games with launch-day embargoes aren't good.

There are least a dozen reviews out on YouTube. Gameplay as well. Has been for a couple of months now.

Those are not real reviews.

Those are wanna be YouTubers that don’t even have the game and talk over cuts from trailers and official gameplay footage.

They just want try to clicks by being first before the embargo lifts.

Just like all those losers who make fake albums or ‘official’ playlists on Spotify before the actual albums launch.

Yep, all clickbait crap. Real reviews only after the embargo lifts.

Yeah. I can see that point of view, but plenty of people have already played the game and gave their opinion. Everything I have seen so far is pointing at it being average at best. That said, anytime a publisher puts a review embargo on a game... it is a bad sign.

Bethesda and other big publishers also do release day review embargoes. Lack of confidence in my opinion.

Bethesda already sent out review copies and their embargo ends before early access starts. Definitely confident in Starfield.

I can see saying that having a review embargo that is lasting until day of release as being a bad sign, but if the embargo lifts a few days before release, thats pretty standard. Good and bad games alike.
