I'm guessing some of you were waiting for their analysis before pulling the trigger but don't hold your breath. According to a staff member, they won't be covering it and haven't covered the game in a long time anyway.
This is too bad because not only does this game seem to have severe performance issues on PC so far but the bottlenecks are extremely confusing and hard to isolate. Would have been nice if a major outlet tried to get to the bottom of this but DF is out. Not sure if nxgamer will review it either. Haven't heard anything from him.
Performance on PC seems all over the place and the game is extremely CPU-heavy. There also seems to be memory allocation issues or RAM spillover but this isn't clear. I've seen some high-end machines run it fairly well while others run it like crap. Difficult to tell what's what but it'd be probably be best to wait for the Day 1 patch which I believe is due tomorrow.
I think console performance is fine though.
Update: John Lineman and Alex Battaglia aren't covering it but according to John, Oliver expressed interest so he might cover it.

So. Just had a private conversation on Twitter with Linneman. He actually messaged me. I won't post the transcript but take my word for it. So basically what he told me is that he hates Harry Potter and that's why he won't cover it. But it will be covered. Juts not by him. They don't have the game yet. He also told me that someone he believed to be a person from Resetera showed up at his doorstep and that made it personal for him. He dislikes the place as much as we do actually. They somehow got a hold of his address.
