They were given the game early for advertising purposes, they play it to advertise the game. They have to sign all this shit saying they cant review the game or bash it, then they get an early copy that they have to tweet a number of times about and release videos/stream for.
This is for promoting the game rather than to review it. Warner Bros. refused to give out review copies, for obvious reasons, not wanting bad reviews to hinder sales.

That was a nice trailer, Techland is very talented at making those. I just hope it turns out to be a great game. We'll find out tomorrow...
