    Edens Zero is a weird mesh of older beat ’em ups, Musou, and Action combat that turns out to be quite fun. It can feel outdated with its accessibility and lack of PC options, but it is still really engaging.

    Edens Zero is an enjoyable action RPG that offers solid variation in combat skills and an interesting look into Hiro Mashima’s work. Despite its worlds feeling oddly devoid of life due to the lack of interactive opportunities beyond battle and looting, it’s still a good journey to depart on.

    EDENS ZERO is an addictive adaptation that will get you hooked on the story, even if you haven’t read it yet. If you look past the fanservice and repetitive combat, you’ll find a real gem of a storyline here.

    Edens Zero features a good gameplay system coupled with an excellent combat system. Unfortunately, the game is extremely repetitive and superficial.

    EDENS ZERO sets out to honor the spirit of Mashima’s beloved series but ends up feeling more like an unfinished beta than a fully realized RPG. There are glimmers of enjoyment—janky-but-fun combat and a few heartfelt character moments—but they’re buried beneath outdated visuals, a bland open world, a rushed narrative, a repetitive gameplay loop, and an overall lack of polish.

    Edens Zero delivers an uneven experience: it captures the heart of Mashima’s universe with a colorful cast and a strong soundtrack, but the shallow combat and dated technical execution hold it back. Fans will find enough to enjoy, newcomers may be intrigued, but anyone seeking depth or polish will likely walk away disappointed.

    Edens Zero really is a game made for existing fans, specifically those who aren't too picky about their gameplay. The combat is serviceable enough to provide button-mashers with some fun, and the open world gives the game some legs once the story section has been completed. For those new to the series, the rushed and initially convoluted storytelling provides a terrible first impression, while the gameplay's stunted nature makes you wonder why the game was made into an action-RPG title instead of a more straightforward action title. Overall, the game can be decent, but it fares poorly when compared to many other anime-based games on the market.
