Have review embargos ever been a good sign?

Lord of the Rings: Shadow of Mordor
They were acting fishy up the ass but then the game launched and the review copies/embargoes went out and it did asscreed better than asscreed

But generally, if a game has a review embargo up the ass, I usually wont get it until I see the reviews
