Also worth considering is Edge being a physical publication obviously has a cover. So early code is also a competition from devs for cover space. That's also probably part of the reason they have the leverage. Giving them your code early if you are a big, promising release means you may end up on the cover.

Yet Splatoon 2 got an 8. It was released on July 21st, yet reviewed in their magazine that released August 12th. 

The same issue that reviews Super Mario Odyssey is reviewing Metroid: Samus Returns. Metroid released September 15th and did not get a perfect score.

 

No? Nothing? ok...
