I wonder if they mention the Switch version delay or if there are any previews of the version.

Low for Scribblenauts. Meh for detective Pikachu.

GoW was only 1 point behind Arms!, couldn't quite get that 9/10. A real shame!

Arms got an 9? lmao

Mario + Rabbids too, lol.

Whats wrong with that? Arms was a good fighting game, and M+R is a great turn based Tactical RPG.

Edge has always had a bias against Sony games.

From these games I played Sea of Thieves and Far Cry 5, and I'm playing God of War, in my opinion 6 for Far Cry 5 is fair, 7 for Sea of Thieves It's a little more than the game deserves, and 8 for God of War it's less than the game deserves. Well, that's nothing more than my opinion.

Scores:

God of War - 8

Sea of Thieves - 7

Far Cry 5 - 6

A Way Out - 6

Extinction - 3

Scribblenauts Showdown - 3

Minit - 6

Detective Pikachu - 6

Edge really is contrarian bullshit.

7 for Sea of Thieves is too kind. Shit's a fucking $60 early access garbage on par with No Man's Sky. Yet they dare put it up against a full fledged game like God of War who gets an 8? Only 1 point higher than Sea of Thieves? Fucking really. LMAO.

This thread reminds me of when Jim Sterling gave Breath of the Wild a 7/10.

Maybe different people reviewed it?

So based on this I have to assess that Edge's scoring scale is 7 = shit, 8 = goty candidate



My 8th gen collection

Nah they only use integers, reviewers that use decimal points are clearly more accurate.

That doesn't refute what I said. Edge uses the middle and the lower half of their scale more often than other publications.

How does that make them credible. Facts are showing that they are not credible.

So Edge are Pro-Nintendo and Anti-Sony? it looks that way.

The post you're quoting shows Nintendo games are also scored below average, so I don't know how you could come to those two simultaneous conclusions.

If we don’t include Super Bomberman, it is an average of 4 points less than MC. Since Edge only does integers, it can be said that Edge = MC when it comes to Nintendo. Across the Sony first parties in the list, the average is 14 points less than MC. Yeah, definite bias there.

On top of that, they chose to have a remaster on their cover. Yeah...

If you include detective pikachu and golf story. (Which would take arms and bomberman off the list) the average goes to around 8 below metacritic. If you take hellblade off, Sony's average is just a little below 10. Which makes it unlikely that there is a bias.
