Higher for DA than I thought.

 

[Hookshot]

Heard bad things about Metal Slug but I didn't know it was "4" bad.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I'm surprised they liked Blops 6 but I'm also loving it. It's a shitload of well made content for the asking price.

Yay for the VR Batman 7.

Heard bad things about Metal Slug but I didn't know it was "4" bad.

It's got all the gorgeous Metal Slug pixels that I love, but the gameplay is where it falls flat. They should've leaned harder into either the tactical combat or the roguelike nature, cause it doesn't do either one justice.
A shame, it sure does look pretty though!

Feels like a "safe" score to avoid heat.

Ik but that's normal for edge

 

[FoxMcChief]

I can understand Batman getting a 7. Closer to a 20/10 for me though.

Lego Horizon Adventures - 5

 

[Gonzito]

Batman 7

Veilguard 7

hahahaha

 

[cormack12]

What didn't they like about awakening? I was interested in that iver arkha.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Batman Arkham Shadow got robbed.

 

[tmlDan]

DA a 7 shows Edge has no credibility, time for the great Edge cancelling lol

• Slitterhead - 6
• Lego Horizon Adventures - 5

oof, especially Horizon. 5 is harsh.

 

[ChoosableOne]

The Rise of the Golden Idol - 8

First game was great. This is on my wishlist.

 

[Roberts]

I loved the shit out of The Case of the Golden Idol and can't wait to get a shot of sardonic humour and general absurdity from what looks like an awesome sequel.

 

[Ridicululzz]

• Lego Horizon Adventures - 5

Man, was the game really THAT bad? I mean it's a Lego game, how could they fuck that up?

 

[Senua]

They just keep triggering people lol

 

[hemo memo]

C'mon edge, what is this?

[gow3isben]

Damn 7 for Veilguard sounds about right.


I really wanted them to give a 9 or a 10 so I could whine about it.

 

[Saber]

Lego Horizon Adventures - 5

Let me guess the defense... people are mocking a kids game, theres was never much interest on a Lego, etc etc
I wish people decide which comes first, the "high demand for this game" or "it was never intended to sell in the first place". Bonus point for that guy who created a thread about Horizon Lego having "high" demand.

On a sidenote I'm actually astonished that piece of turd Veilguard received a 7. Yuck

 

[Little Chicken]

These scores aren't controversial enough

 

[R6Rider]

Edgy scores.

 

[Generic]

• Metro: Awakening - 5

• Dragon Age: The Veilguard - 7

Maybe Veilguard is a decent game?

 

[SMG]

Edge is a joke, they gave Origins a 5, and 7 to Mass Effect.

 

[PeteBull]

Maybe Veilguard is a decent game?

Or maybe professional journos are sellouts, which they actually are, their whole job aka way of living depends on how well games they are reviewing gonna sell/publishers of those game buy ad space after all

 

[mafon2]

Is Metal Slug Tactics this bad ?

Edge is the videogame equivalent of an artsy movie magazine for cinephiles.

 

[Judge Magister]

Metal Slug Tactics - 4

For no reason it reminded me of Skyshine's Bedlam. Good looking but the gameplay is just not for me.

 

[amigastar]

Is Metal Slug Tactics this bad ?

I Don't think so, i have it installed and ready to play but i have other games right now. I'm sure it is a good game.
Anyways these score are shite.

 

[LectureMaster]

Maybe Veilguard is a decent game?

It could be. But Metro is not a 5/10 game. The standard is all over the place.

 

[LordCBH]

They rated dragon age about 3 points too high

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Metro: Awakening - 5 rip

 

[Flabagast]

Veilguard was Edge's cover two months ago (they got full access to the studio and multiple interviews), and 7 is on the very low end of scores in comparison to other review outlets (eurogamer gave Dragon age a 10/10 for example), so I am not shocked by this score
