Reviews are mostly in the 7.5 to 8 range. I haven't seen any that concern me all that much yet. Many of the reviews read like rehashing of the comments about the trial/early game from last week. A few I read more clearly played past that point and talk about how much the game opens up after that point.
I think they probably made a mistake releasing press copies so late, because the game is evidently massive, to the point that I doubt anybody posting reviews today actually had time to sit and think about the game they were forced to burn through before their deadline.
Another reality is that BioWare games just get bad reviews, going back 7 or 8 years now, regardless. And then the rest of the gaming web jumps all over them. It's internet herd mentality. I expected it at this point. It happened with DA2, it happened with me3 long before anyone got to the ending, and it happened with DAI. Mixed reaction was inevitable.
What I've gathered so far is basically what I already thought based on watching streams:
- The combat is the best in the series, although the active skill/profile system is a little too limiting.
- Opinions vary widely on the story and acting (I've seen everything from hate to love...)
- The game world may be too large, and can bog down story progression at times
- The game looks amazing, facial animation issues aside.
- The multiplayer is exactly like me3
I've seen some people call it DAI in space. I've seen more people say it feels just like the ME OT. I guess I'll see tomorrow. Assuming my copy actually arrives when it's supposed to.
