Any word on when the review embargo lifts

Nothing announced. For a game this size the embargo date is usually communicated to outlets weeks ahead and leaks into public knowledge shortly after.

Historically their reviews have landed one to three days before release. Given the Netflix positioning and how wide the coverage is going to be, I would expect earlier rather than later this time, because a general audience needs a reason to buy on day one rather than on the following weekend.

Anyone heard a date?

Nothing announced. Your reasoning about the general audience is the interesting part and I think it is right.

Earlier reviews also help a game that has nothing to hide, and everything about how they have handled this suggests a company that is not worried.

Coming to this late: whenever it lands, the review scores will be the least interesting thing published that week and they will get all the attention.

From my side, earlier is worse. A three day embargo means three extra days of everything being everywhere before I can play it.

Both are true at once, which is why the date matters to two completely different groups for opposite reasons.
