Here is what Eurogamer actually said.
In brief: we need a little more time with this one, for two main reasons. The first is that Stalker 2 is a pretty sizable game and we've not had all that long with it, so we're giving ourselves some extra breathing room to ensure we've been able to make significant enough progress for a full review.
The second reason, though, is both more pertinent, and more troubling. At time of writing, the early review build of Stalker 2 that was sent to us by developer GSC Game World has several, quite major technical issues. We've been assured that a Day One patch will be launched alongside the game's general release today, and so we want to make sure our appraisal is reflective of the version of the game you'll be playing yourself.
As such, we're currently aiming to publish our review on Friday November 22nd, so you'll be able to read our full thoughts on Stalker 2 then.

Absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to review a game based on the day one patch and taking 2 extra days to post your review, in fact, that's actually more credit to Eurogamer because now they're missing out on the day one review posting hype, less people will care about Eurogamer's review after everyone else has already put theirs out, this kind of move would hurt Eurogamer more than aid them.
Seems more like you dislike mainstream journalists because you fall into half-truths about them and their actions.
