They're setting up to give Mario Odyssey a 10
Sonic Mania: 7
Ouch. Looks like it's not the return to form people expected...
You expect them to actually read reviews?That's the opposite of what the review text says.

Even a one sentence excerpt is too much for some it seems!
Quit.
You were never ahead.

A Rabbids game is better than your favorite game. Let that sink for a second.

Lawbreakers: 8 "It's proof, among other things, that veteran design talent really does mean something - and that the shooters of the late '90s still have something to teach the modern games industry"
No, I'm suggesting you're one of many people who thinks we need a hot take based purely on the number at the end of a written review.edit: and wait
What do you mean "them"? Are you suggesting I have some agenda against this game?

That's actually the average total playtime in minutes.Oh, whoops, they put the player count where the score is supposed to go by mistake.
edit - dang it, Curufinwe pretty much beat me to it.
Selectively just Edge's.But numbers have meaning.

Bad try.
You're just not good at this.
This is an Edge specific thread, and lots of people (myself included) hold value in their scores. I don't know what you're trying to get at here?
Knack 2 a 5 and Agents of Mayhem a 4? Ok.
No clue on Matterfall, would give Sonic an 8, and Knack is right where it belongs.Matterfall, Knack 2 and Sonic Mania are all atleast 2 points too low.
How isn't it? Meh controls, a cliche ridden story with equally cliche ridden dialogue and derpy characters. Combat consists of what, 4 or 5 moves max?I don't, but Knack 2 isn't a 5 for any human being with common sense.
Blind hazards have nothing to do with difficulty though. When learning a level inside out to not run in these things is the only way circumventing them I'd harly call that skill based platforming.Don't have the issue yet, but it wouldn't at all surprise me if the Sonic Mania review complained about the difficulty ("trial and error," "blind hazards"). The outlet seems ill-equipped right now to judge skill-based platforming (Ori is very difficult, apparently). I expect Cuphead to suffer a similar fate.
Everyone knows what you are though.This is an Edge specific thread, and lots of people (myself included) hold value in their scores. I don't know what you're trying to get at here?
The only score that matters then? Yes or no.
Everyone knows what you are though.
Sure, but it's not an objective meaning. For one thing, a 7 from one outlet isn't the same as a 7 from another. I think it's a respectable score coming from EDGE, who seem to use more of the numerical scale than other outlets. More importantly, what one outlet says about a game is hardly definitive.
Everyone knows what you are though.
Of course not. But it's also one to take into account, no?
Following this ONE score, you said, and I'm paraphrasing, "Guess it's not a return to form"
Because again, we're in an Edge specific thread and there's no other scores posted here to compare it to?
I'd agree with a 7 for Mania - just because it's the best Sonic game since Knuckles doesn't mean that it's overly long levels, terrible last level, subpar music and poorly explained unlock system shouldn't be held against it. It's still a great game, although firing up S3&K after it reminds one what perfection actually is.
You can disagree but how have they been shit reviews? Elaborate.EDGE reviews have been kind of shit for the past few months. I don't agree with a lot of their recent reviews and scores.

It looks neat i guess.

They're shit to me. It's subjective.
Oh dear god!
EDIT: And it's funny that people feel the levels were too long. I feel Mania's biggest flaw is that some of the levels were criminally short.
No way. Studiopolis acts 1 and 2, Mirage Saloon Act 2, and Press Garden Act 2 are wonderful.The best music in Mania is its remixed/reused tracks from S3&K, by a long shot.

Go back and play Chemical Plant Zone in Sonic 2, it's at least half as long, without some of the more sour sections. (one where you get stuck in a room with bouncy liquid and only one small non-obvious exit comes to mind).
Anyone who feels they were "criminally short" must really misremember the length of classic Sonic zones.

I hope they score Sonic Forces higher than Sonic Mania for the lulz. Like, a 7.5-ish.
