    Bleeding Edge has almost nothing to offer. What potential it has in it is woefully stuck in a product that is so meagre and void of content. It is like taking a single slice of cheese, and trying to cover an entire pizza pie; there just not enough here to make this work passed a few hours, and that's all. There are not enough modes, not enough interest in the community to keep it going, and the combat is way too simplistic for high level play.

    Even with a couple of blemishes present, I still had an absolute ball with the Bleeding Edge beta when I was able to go on the offensive. Sure, the lack of a role queue is a massive oversight, and I didn't much enjoy the ranged combat, but I'm excited to clash swords with more of the cast and uncover all their mechanical intricacies in the second beta session that begins on March 13.

    While objectives are straightforward, it’s teamwork that generally lets a team down. From my playthroughs, you can almost immediately identify a team that will work at a unit – or, ideally, in a handful of coordinated ones – compared to teams with individuals that will rush to an objective with a strategy in mind. Games where individuals are blindly rushing at a group of bad guys are frustrating beyond belief, and sadly, they’re happening often at this point. [Review in progress]

    Weirdly though, it's not really a bad videogame. It's got several key problems, but the core has real potential... provided players don't get turned off by the balancing issues and lack of content first.

While being different enough from the titan of the genre (Overwatch) it still plays fundimentally the same. With it's own storyline and some crazy characters this game does well to stand out. Visually the game has been well designed and looks nice, interesting character designs and animations, it reminds me somewhat of Jet Set Radio Future but upgraded, this is by no means a bad thing and I am pleased with the way the game visually presents itself. Control wise I did have to do a slight remap just to slightly adjust and make the main attack button more comfortable, adjusting the attack button to RT and the dodge to X (opposite by default) I found the controls very easy and comfortable. With the ability to keymap the controls are easily customizable enough to be able to suit anyone. The gameplay of Bleeding Edge plays as you would expect, 4v4 team based battle games. These can get quite chaotic and teamwork is highly rewarded and going solo is punished harshly by being ganged up on by the enemy team. Each character has their own special abilities and can turn the tide of the battle when used correctly and at the right time. Bleeding Edge can be enjoyable however at the time of writing sadly rubber banding was an issue during matches and it can be quite jarring, however given this was release day I fully expect these to be resolved soon, doubled by the fact I personally found no way to check on Ping or select server region I was quite disappointed by that fact. Finally the omission of Ranked play at launch and promised at a later date (albeit top priority) took away some of the will to play, due to the fact that matchmaking I was unfortunate enough to a lot of people who didn't quite grasp the concept of teamwork. Overall: While this is a good game and enjoyable enough as is. Personally till some updates / patches have been added in I would hold off and stick with the likes of Overwatch / RS Siege for your team based games, at least till a few issues have been addressed. Once sorted the game could be great. However this review is on what it is not could be.… Full Review »

Bleeding Edge takes playing mechanics to another level, so does it with graphics. A 10/10 to me.… Full Review »
