Did he apply they were paid off? Getting the review out early would be great for EDGE, so maybe that was the deal?

First of all, Nintendo is pretty serious when it comes to FTC disclosure so I highly doubt they paid EDGE off. 

And yes, just because it came out early due to EDGE magazines publishing schedule he said;

"It cheapens the perfect score because we can't help but wonder if it's all above board, or if secret deals were struck behind the scenes."

Implying Nintendo made some kind of secret deal to ensure EDGE gave the game a perfect score, and he also wnet further to say that no one should not take the review seriously or give it any merit;

"So my suggestion would be to take this with a massive, heaping hat full of salt. I have confidence that Super Mario Odyssey will be a good game (I've enjoyed what little I've played) but I wouldn't place much value on this sort of lone review."

I dont really see the problem here. Why did EDGE get to publish their review so early compared to other publications? Why should anyone ever take one single review as word of how a game is? Just seems logical for him to be suspicious to me. Maybe he could have written it better, but I see his point.
