He tested the game a bit here and there between other games before the 9th, but he did not dedicate any real play time until about March 9th, rushing through the story between the 9th and the 11th (when he beat it.) Hence his complaint about shrines makes sense. He wanted to rush through the game so that he could give its predetermined review, but having to do shrines made that harder. 

 

As others have said, they saw all of this coming before the actual review -- he telegraphed it on twitter and in his podcast.

So how much does he have to play the game before he can give an accurate review?

I personally think that reviewers at least have to complete the main story of a game to do so.
