So, the review embargo lifts on Wednesday, May 27 at 7am Pacific time (found it someplace, might be wrong).

With the game focused on multiplayer interactions, do you think we will see many "no score/review in progress" reviews, as has become a recent practice with similar titles?

Probably not because the free dlc will take 2-3 months to arrive. And the journalists already have access to Splatzones and turf wars.

Review in progress is not done because of future DLCs, but because reviewers got burned on reviewing preview multiplayer copies that worked, only to have the game crap out once regular customers joined in (Battlefield 4, Halo MCC and the worst offender - Driveclub).

I'm not saying that Splatoon will be the same, but asking if reviewers will choose to be careful in this case.

I think Sim City was the biggest offender, when reviewing they were conecting to special servers with very low traffic, when the game released crashed servers everywhere, I think Polygon changed their score twice after the problems were found and again when were solved.

It's happening!!!

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
