I expected a little lower tbh. But 8 feels more fair than some of the inflated scores I've seen elsewhere.
Yeah, I sort of expected a 7. People have gone absolutely review-mad for it. And it's not a bad game, but also…
I'm playing it now and it's a bit too iterative for me. I was hoping for some bigger changes.
Yeah, I'm playing it as well, and it's fine. It's fine! It's fun to swing about, the combat is good, the bits where it drags to a halt are still as dull as they were in the previous two (my god that Coney Island bit was boring) and the story's pretty good. But it's ticking stuff off, and does feel like it's just a tired formula—as it did when the exact same thing happened in the last Horizon. A more polished, iterative thing with lots of little things to do. (Also, I have actually seen more bugs in it than I did in my Starfield play through...)
Edge or not if people get angry over an 8 they really need to sit down and evaluate their priorities in life.
I expected 7 as well. And I agree, it is not a bad time. But it is difficult to square some of the praise I've seen with the product I played.
Lol seriously, people really live in a delusional bubble on the internet. Most people playing Spider-Man 2 don't even know what edge is.
Yeah and 8 or 9 is a score I'd agree with, so an 8 here seems fair to me. I don't remember what they have GoW Ragnarok, but if it was an 8 I probably agreed as well because while it was a spectacular game, the last act left me wanting more and it did feel like it went by too quickly.
Where were you for when Eurogamer gave TotK a 4/5 and that got called an outlier.
I dunno, in a world of so many games forcing you to have meaningful builds, I kinda like the simple "Hey, you can have it all." of the Spider-Man games, they're itterative, and simple, in exactly the way that I want.
Everyone knows that 7 is the score you can get mad at, not 8.
Considering Forbidden West and Ragnarok got a 7, this is a great score for the Spider-Men.
Yeah, I've noticed a few people saying they want something that's a Spider-Man game without being a Spider-Man game lol. Which is fine if you're consistently looking for different experiences all the time but it's kinda unrealistic, especially at the pace Insomniac puts out games.
Lol.
Oof Ragnarok, I forgot it received a 6 from them.
I actually think I preferred Ragnarok, personally. But then I also think a 7 is too high for FW...
Pretty sure God of War Ragnarök also got a 7 from Edge and not a 6.
