Apparently, EA/Bioware will withhold early access review codes if you are critical of the game. So they are incentivized to write glowing reviews even if the game doesn't deserve it.
Got a source on that?
Um... Literally everyone in the industry? It's not a secret that access journalism runs rampant. if you need an individual just to look through Jim Sterling's videos on the subject, she often talked about her time before going independent.
Fextra life just put a video out about it too https://youtu.be/LDRVdfzHXDI?si=DVHH-sqnGE52n_Rs
