Hi-Fi Rush last year. No review copies, since the game was announced and released on the same day. Turned out to be a really fun rhythm action game.
That's hardly an embargo, that's just an extreme version of "not having a crazy hype-campaign"
I'd say it still counts, since the question was about review embargoes OR no pre-release copies provided to reviewers. Hype or no hype, you'd still be asking gamers to buy it based on nothing but previews, trailers and/or developer rep.
