Actually TLOU didnt have an embargo, people were reviewing the game over a week before it came out (could be because the game released on E3 day and didn't want it to be buried with other news)


Yeah. I got TLoU 10 days before release. I was playing before the review came out.

I havent seen any. Is there review embargo? Leaked copies are already available in my country and people are already sharing gameplay. I am curious about this game. Does anyone know when review embargo will lift?


Probably today/tomorrow. But if you have PS+, you can get the PS+ edition and try it out before making your purchase. At least if you lose interest it wont bother you as much as someone who bought it

Pretty sure there was one for the Last of Us.

If you're worried about buying this game just get the ps plus edition and judge for yourself. You really don't need a review when you have that to judge for youself.

That's actually a myth that is unsupported by the data. Review embargoes do not correlate with high/low scores.

Yeah most review embargoes are put in place so the reviews come out at the same time close to release to build hype for the game.

From my experience, most review embargos that last right up until release date or even after are to prevent bad reviews from dissuading people from cancelling pre-orders and such. For example, Destiny and Arkham Origins. If a game has good reviews, generally there is no embargo.

There may be a few outliers, but most of the time, if the embargo is delayed to the very last minute, it doesn't mean good for the game. Pre-release good reviews build hype, so there is no reason to embargo them.
