There might be a slight Nintendo bias, but even so Zelda games are highly rated even among people who don't rate Nintendo highly all that much. And EDGE has always justified its scores through its journalistic integrity. It is one of the few places where an 8/10 actually denotes a very good game, and a 9/10 is excellent. 10/10 is reserved for what they deem the absolute best games.

It's not looking good for you either, if you want it to hit 98 Metacritic you'd have needed EDGE to give the game at least 14/10

It could, but I'm doubting it. Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Link Between Worlds didn't get perfect scores.

Deserved. SS is an absolute masterpiece.

10/10 doesn't mean perfect.

Anyways, masterful title. Can't wait to play this. Debating if I wanna go all in on a Switch to play it or get it on WiiU.

What is with the need for click bait titles?
You aren't writing articles. This isn't getting you paid.
Use a full title.

What's wrong with the title? It say it's not looking good, and it isn't, it's looking great. And the title not giving away the final score creates suspense and suspense is fun.
