Why wait when you can look at reviews and Ubisoft’s fuck-ups right now? The game was released on consoles and Epic at the end of August, it’s just the Steam release that’s in November
Because I’m not really that invested. The Steam launch will have the effect of making me check it out, so I guess that will at least work as intended.
Adding to this; Steam provides a hub where players purchase, play and review games. Meaning that I find the reviews to be more genuine.
E.g. every time I hear about a game that reviews decently well getting “review bombed” on Steam it’s because the company, usually the publisher, is fucking over the players in some way. Something that is well reported by players who can leave a product review on the same platform they purchased and played on.
So I wait for Steam release for reviews (on top of it being my preferred platform).
Average score was 76 placing it in the 63rd percentile.

Its the kind of middle of the pack results that show its not bad but its not great either. License fans with realistic expectations will probably have a good time.
