This paragraph from the article explains it, really.
On the 3rd of March Ubisoft Massive revealed that there wouldn’t be pre-release reviews due to the online-centric nature of the game and the difficulty in replicating the live environment, as opposed to a simulated one. Some may recall this same thing happening with another online-centric game called Destiny that itself is being heavily compared with The Division. Due to the MMO aspects of the game, developers have a hard time simulating how populated the live environment would be come full release to the masses.
It only makes sense. It is being reviewed for the masses, after all.
