I'll wait to actually read the review. Edge tend to argue their points really well even if I don't always agree.
The fact that outrage is so easily creatable with this news is itself news, imo.
Can we maybe not put any particular publication, no matter how "prestigious", on a pedestal? No review should ever be taken as gospel.
At this point it's old news. The game has reviewed extremely well from nearly all reviewers and sold over 5 million in a week, it's awesome and a massive success, Edge's review changes nothing.
It's their opinion at the end of the day, not everybody loves awesome games, it doesn't stop me absolutely loving the game and picking it as my GOTY.

Yeah, I'm not judging the review, Edge can give the game whatever it wants, but it's one of hundreds and there's already a review thread.
Those were moments I couldn't stand the most. Stuffing you in a small space with enemies that are swarming you and trying to deal with that terrible close up camera. The open arenas were actually fun
I kinda like that edge dares to use more of the 10 point scale, just feels weird when they're one of the only outlets that seems to do that in video games. I do have some questions about the review going out from OP's words. 'Too MANY mini bosses' seems like a really weird complaint especially after how much variety the game has compared to 2018. Also saying the gameplay shines when you have to battlr many enemies is like the complete opposite of my opinion, Inthink the combat really shines in those epic 1 on 1 bossbattles due to the camera mostly making multiple enemies a hassle.
Exactly. They are the worst part.
You have to buy the magazine i think.
Pretty much matches what ive been feeling playing it. Between this and Horizon 2, been some really big misses from Sony first party lately. Boring design, samey gameplay and bad, obnoxious writing all around in these games. Though id at least put GoW above the latter due to the combat occasionally.
ah, yeah, forgot about that bit. Yeah that's crossing a weird line. But the rest of the review seemed fine from what I recall.
Not surprised, I believe the game is magnificent but I can see some design decisions affecting some people, I mean, I've read them.
Weird that they enjoyed fighting multiples enemies while most people that didn't enjoy the game very much complained about that exact thing.

I mean, we both know weirdos will get outraged so why create another thread that will lead to only bad shit happening?
Thanks.
Smellycat since you don't provide the link to it.
Can you at least say the scores of the other reviews?
Or only GoW matters?
Did not expect that. Was assuming an 8. I always agree with Edge, they got it right on all big titles for me. Will be a fascinating thread.
Everyone is welcome to their own perspective and opinion. What I experienced as an incredibly ambitious and compelling follow-up to one of my favorite games last generation might simply not appeal to someone else. That's okay. Even if they feel the need to take a swipe at the game with whatever dismissive language they want to use, that's entirely their prerogative. I'm not sure any subjective assessment can be "unreasonable", exactly, even though it may well fail to resonate with an audience.
If this leads to the Metascore, the most important thing about games, droping under 93,14 I will cry for a week
How would anyone know what the review says then? I literally have to buy a magazine in 2022 to find out??
My personal score of Ragnarok is 7. Kinda let down after great GOW 2018. 6 or 7 from EDGE was expected by their scoring system.
You have to read the review
You never heard of the writers probably because they don't do traditional by lines to reviews. It's presented as the review by Edge. I mean, those people are known of course and all to those who know who they are, but that's probably why you don't know any specific names
I feel like reviews should show the scores they gave other games along side so you can gauge if you align with the reviewer or not.
For example, Halo Infinite imo is pretty trash outside its shooting mechanics, but I know people would say it's a "9". Or Forza Horizon 5 is a "10", but it's very same-y as previous games in the series imo and didn't do much to improve on the formula.

Seriously.
Also some of the climbing is used as disguising loads.
The PS4 held this game back so much. I couldn't believe how often the squeezing thru was used.
There's the online mag I think. But no, they don't have a website.
