Your first point may be correct, but you provide no information other than you have followed edge for two decades. Then your second point strains the validity of your first point as Edge most definetly do not fall in line with other outlets.

EDGE MAGAZINE
For 2,875 reviews, this publication has graded:
  • 15%higher than the average critic
  • 3%same as the average critic
  • 82%lower than the average critic
Average review score 65
They're reknowed as being a notoriously harsh critic.

Actually no they're in line with other critics you know why because their rating scaling is different from other outlets for Edge 5/10 is average and this is something many people don't understand when they see their ratings. 5/10 from them is the same as 7/10 from other outlets, they're not notoriously harsh that's a misconception they just use different scaling.

So the outlier is actually in line, provided you assume a unique rating system for them alone.

You judge this by sentiment of the reviews in line with other publications? or you apply all other systems the same rating and base Edge scores off of that? 
So an IGN score of 5-5.9 which is mediocre, how does that compare to EDGE 5 of average? Is it actually a 7? an IGN Good? Or is that actually an Edge 6 which is competent?
