I hoped for better reviews for Edge of Eternity. I wonder what they said about it.

 

[Lant_War]

Damn, poor Mario Golf.

 

[sir_crocodile]

Surprised at the golf score. edge normally sync up pretty well with metro gamecentral, who gave it an 8 & called it the best mario golf game since the 64 one. Will have to read the review.

 

[ghostcrew]

Absoltuley buying this issue for the Making of Heaven's Vault feature.

Fascinated in that!

 

[Arubedo]

Pleasantly surprised by Scarlet Nexus's score.

 

[Tailzo]

That time extend must be a good read. I love Spiritfarer.

 

[John Bender]

Mario Golf with a deserved 4/10.

MH Stories 2 is surprising though. I expected at least a 7.

 

[SuperFakerBros]

Damn, that Nintendo bias coming through as always from EDGE /s

 

[Tailzo]

I had never heard about Griftlands before. I just looked it up, and it looks good.

I feel like this will be a quiet month for this thread.

 

[cw_sasuke]

That's quite the solid Scarlet Nexus Scores. Stories 2 seems a bit harsh but i can see why Edge would give it that score.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

ouch, that mario golf score

 

[ghostcrew]

Yeah, 100% buying Griftlands soon.

Yeah, going off of the demo, a 6 seems fair. Unless the main game improves a lot, that's about what I'd rate it too

Can I ask what's your source for getting this info on the Edge issue? Is it possible to get review blurbs with the scores? Thank you.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Griftlands seems like my jam. I need it.

 

[spineduke]

I can vouch for Griftlands, in a sea of deck builders, it's got a lot going for it.

 

[Deleted member 51789]

I wasn't expecting great scores for Mario Golf from Edge as they were a touch lukewarm on Mario Tennis a couple of years back (and from what I've read the structure of both is similar) but I wasn't quite expecting a 4. I thought the multiplayer modes might have bolstered it up in that regard, would be interested to see that they said about it.

Surprised there's even a review of Mario Golf, Chris Schilling was pretty down on it at release and I had assumed it would be skipped.

Probably an early subs copy on rllmuk, wouldn't expect any text yet.

 

[Dizzy Ukulele]

Edge gave Golf Story a 5 in the last issue I bought.

Are we saying that they're biased against golf games? :D

Best since the 64 just means it's better than the GameCube & Gameboy games though.

 

[KillstealWolf]

Nice to see Griftlands review well.

 

[eXistor]

Not surprised at Mario Golf, I hated it too.

I don't have stats for the most recent issues, but I don't think they've ever scored one more than a 7. An obvious conspiracy!

But for #361 thread they're saying their source is Resetera lol

 

[Soap]

Mario Hold gets what it deserves. Mario sports titles have been abysmal for a long time now.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

As someone who just beat the adventure mode in Mario Golf… I'm completely unsurprised.

It's really good, 1.0 just came out a month or so ago. I highly recommend it.

 

[Jonnykong]

Interesting that they've done a time extend for Spiritfarer cos I seem to recall them not really liking the game

 

[Jetsun Mila]

Edge of Eternity doesn't surprise me. A work where they put a lot of love in but way too overambitious for such a small and rather inexperienced team.

 

[OnanieBomb]

Can't believe how hard Mario golf is eating shit. It looked so promising.

[hydrophilic attack]

tempted to try and find a way to get my hands on this issue in sweden just for the heaven's vault making of article

 

[Messofanego]

Mymagazine is saying they'll deliver the issue in the mail on 15th July.

I wonder how people get access to the Edge issue days before and why don't they ever grab some of the text from the reviews but just grab the review scores out of context.

 

[YaBish]

Klei still putting out bangers

Is it available digitally in Sweden? There's an app here in the UK. It's cheaper, too.

 

[8bit]

Reminder that Edge is on readly in the UK, and there's a free trial for the app if you haven't used it before. This issue isn't available yet but will probably be out by end of week.


Also, there's a new issue of Zzap64.

Or maybe I'm having a stroke.

The magazine came this morning. Been working all day so haven't even had a chance to read it myself yet apart from a quick glance but can do later tonight

Edge of Eternity doesn't surprise me. It's a budget game that hopefully will make for a great sequel.

I'm not even sure, mymagazines I think but I have a direct debit every six months. I think I get mine a bit earlier in the post as I don't live too far from where they're based.

 

[Fuhgeddit]

Griftlands looks interesting but not sure if I want to buy another game where it's about using cards to attack the enemies in turn based. I feel like I bought a few of these games recently because they were roguelike type games but wasn 't really interested because they were not as action packed.
