Preview? For sure! Unbox? Excellent idea.Give first impressions? If you must.
But for the love of all that's good in the world, please stop reviewing the adventure you picked up yesterday that requires 100 table hours or more to complete. What's more,please DO review that adventure once you did complete it. Or even after you abandoned it mid play because it was terrible.
Every time a new book comes out, especially an adventure, reviews flood the feeds. Blog, vlog or pod, these reviews are hastily constructed and shallow. They reflect the knee jerk reactions of the reviewers rather than any real engagement with the material.
And then, after the initial rush, there's nothing. Try and find a review for an adventure from a year after its release by someone who ran or played through it. Exceedingly rare.
