There's plenty of early previews and can be accessed from metacritic, just no scores yet. I presume that reviewers need more time to get to grips with the games

That's naïve, reviewers bring out scores as soon as they are allowed to. This is clearly a very heavy review embargo dropped by the develloper, which could be (but does not have to be) a sign of being afraid of bad critic.

If that were the case, these reviews would hit the websites pretty much as the game released.  The patch has more to do with this than any supposed embargo.
