Have review embargos ever been a good sign?

Almost every game has a review embargo. Most Nintendo game have an embargo on them. They all turn out to be fine. The embargo's just make it so the Devs can control when all the news about there game comes out. And to make sure reviewers don't try to put out a review in one day to be the first that reviews a game. By making them have the game a week or 2, they probably will give a better review.

But, if a publisher has the embargo for the release date of the game or sometime after, that is a bad sign.

Basically every game has an embargo.

I was talking about excessively late ones specifically.  I realize they all have them to some extent
