Doom 2016 comes to mind. No early review copies but it turned out to be a good game. It’s very much an outlier, though.
yeah i remember zenimax not sending review copies but dont remember if they did it with any other higher profile games
Oh cool, that’s an interesting factoid.
I suppose at least we had the open beta programme with Doom though - granted it’s not review code by it’s very definition, but it was something tangible to see that it was going to be not shit at the very least.
“factoid” doesn’t mean “fun little fact”, it means “Something unreliable that gets repeated so much, people think it’s true”.
