Regardless of the developers' goals, Veilguard feels like a game designed and assembled in parts. However good any idea, scene or concept is - and there are some excellent ones - it isn't bolstered by those beside it. Instead, each feels like a dazzling distraction from where it falls short in depth, consistency and trust in players to engage with a complex world. [Issue#405, p.102]- Edge Magazine

Who's quibbling about the originality of any given bone when there are so many of them just waiting to be broken, and in so many stylish ways? [Issue#404, p.121]- Edge Magazine

As well-intentioned as its encouragement to slow down and sniff the flowers may be, we can't help but bristle when the process is so leaden that it rarely feels like a relaxing meadow stroll. [Issue#404, p.120]- Edge Magazine

Much like the humble jigsaw, it's never less than a pleasant distraction. [Issue#404, p.123]- Edge Magazine

As poetry, it might be evocative, but when you're trying to advance the game to the next scene, it feels rather like being the one sober person in the room. [Issue#404, p.122]- Edge Magazine

Ara is at once too shallow and too deep, a 4X game where one of its crosses bears far more eight than the others. [Issue#404, p.118]- Edge Magazine

Redacted makes no apology, yet somehow escapes from the shadow of its inspiration. [Issue#404, p.116]- Edge Magazine

In truth, when it does attempt to tug firmly on the heartstrings, Neva is never as effective as we might have feared. But the images it leaves behind are indelible. [Issue#404, p.114]- Edge Magazine

You could also call it derivative and crudely executed, and no transmedia offering can compensate for that. [Issue#404, p.112]- Edge Magazine

Double Exposure handles an adopted legacy with care, and crucially always feels like it's shifting the needle in a direction that's personal to you, which makes the smattering of lacklustre puzzles a frustrating but ultimately forgivable sin. [Issue#404, p.110]- Edge Magazine

Silent Hill 2 is the rare game that isn't over after we've finished playing. It's a state of mind, and it waits for us to return. [Issue#404, p.108]- Edge Magazine

If it's an imperfect game for an imperfect world, that in itself is something to aspire towards. [Issue #404, p.104]- Edge Magazine

As much as it's captivating to soak in the atmosphere Selfloss creates, you should prepare for some choppy waters. [Issue#403, p.123]- Edge Magazine

Despite the absence of punishing deadlines, though, maybe this escape is a little too much like work after all. [Issue#403, p.122]- Edge Magazine

Occasional misses aside, then, Starstruck is an outstanding debut performance. [Issue#403, p.120]- Edge Magazine

While it doesn't reach the upper echelon of 3D platformers, the fact that it bolsters a genre so starved these days, as many indies stay in their two-dimenstional lane, while 3D games take a more serious tone, is worth celebrating, especially when its overt cultural charms are so endearing.

It's this beautiful mess of strategic genius and personality defects that elevates Wild Bastards to the pantheon of truly great hybrid roguelikes, managing to do for the FPS what Spelunky did for platforming, and Slay The Spire for deckbuilders. [Issue#403, p.116]- Edge Magazine

Without a greater degree of authorship - a few lightly scripted cases in predesigned cities to complement the sandbox mode - Shadows of Doubt is too prone to be bewildering or illogical red herrings, shrouding the experience in uncertainty. [Issue#403, p.113]- Edge Magazine

But as brutal as its buzz-saw races can be, they pale compared to the marketplace for online multiplayer into which it's throwing itself. [Issue#403, p.110]- Edge Magazine

It's a testament to the strength of the core concept, then, that The Plucky Squire remains as entertaining as it does. [Issue#403, p.108]- Edge Magazine

The sights and sounds of the Star Wars universe, delivered with enthusiasm and authenticity throughout, at least make it easy enough to be swept along. [Issue#403, p.104]- Edge Magazine

Where Frostpunk was painfully intimate, the sequel takes a bird's-eye view, but this distance serves it just as well. [Issue#403, p.100]- Edge Magazine

Take away the branding and there remains a core of irrepressible imagination, the fuel of so many great games, that is anything but robotic. [Issue#403, p.92]- Edge Magazine

Where once upon a time this series might have built an entire dungeon around a single gadget, here it's possible to pick up new inventions every few minutes, for hours on end. [Issue#403, p.96]- Edge Magazine

While the thrill remains and the audiovisual show lives up to the billing, then, you wonder if the designers of genre classics might have pushed the envelope even more. [Issue#402, p.122]- Edge Magazine

How curious to find Nintendo's most contemporary tale hidden in a format so beholden to the past. [Issue#402, p.120]- Edge Magazine

As a whole, it is undeniably well meaning and generous, and the individual pieces work well enough, but somehow we find ourselves wishing there was a little less game in this reserve. [Issue#402, p.118]- Edge Magazine
