Might be one of the first videogame magazines in a long time that I purchase.
Probably because it is.
Skyward Sword is a 10.
Exactly this. It's a 10 for me, and I can say that about very few games. Doesn't mean it's not flawed, but I also enjoyed every single second of it, and on the whole, that's the score I would give it.Yes, totally. I don't like the game so it's clearly not deserving of a high score. Must be bias towards the franchise./s
Only two Zelda games on that list. Skyward Sword was a controversial game for sure, but it was a stellar experience for some.
Good adjustments, still no Metroid Prime tho :|
I know it sounds odd but I'm more impressed with Horizon's 9. Great praise, especially from Edge.
Metroid Prime not being a 10 is the biggest travesty...the game is so loved and revered.Good adjustments, still no Metroid Prime tho :|
The Last Guardian was even their GOTY 2016...

Its not.

And? It was my GOTY and quite frankly, it's my current GOTG, so I don't know what you're getting at. So it was justified as far as I'm concerned.
There is. I'm guessing Nintendo let Edge do theirs early.I thought there was an embargo on reviews until the 2nd?
No idea. But have you never said that a game is a 10/10 before completion? In my opinion you know what you want to score a game after just a few hours, especially if it's a 10 because those games just oozes of quality from the very start. I knew Uncharted 4 was a 10 after like 1 hour, maybe 5 hours of Witcher 3, probably 2 hours of Skyrim. I've gamed since the early 80s and I don't think I've ever played a great game that turned bad by the end, not even Mass Effect 3.Serious Question:
Edge (presumably) got their Switch machine and review copy of Zelda on Tuesday, like all the other press and website outlets.
Is that enough time by Saturday morning to play through, analyse and write a review of Zelda and objectively come to that '10' review score?
Edge does what they want.I thought there was an embargo on reviews until the 2nd?

I gasped when I opened my mail and saw this months cover design. Seriously the last few months of Edge has been stunning, what with Nier and Little Nightmares.
Always a special moment to see an Edge 10, especially when it's one of the first reviews for a game and it can go either way. Last time like this I remember was with The Last of Us, where I called up my Edge subscriber buddy as soon as I saw it to share our collective Edge 10 hype.
Never die Edge magazine.
Skyward Sword did its job with the Wii remote. It worked great for me and I loved it. I can understand why it wasn't a 10 for people, but Edge probably had a great experience and it justified the Wii remote and motion controls.
Both Horizon and Zelda delivering, I'm so excited.
Yes absolutely
Can't wait to play both (actually playing Zelda, I can see why they gave it a perfect score)

9 means its an amazing game. The difference between a 9 and a 10 is basically a feeling thing. "This game is special - does it make us feel like we did when we played game x". Yes it does. 10/10.
Same here. I'd have sooner imagined them being kind of 'meh' about it. Seems to be a really special game.
Nioh, Horizon, and Zelda taking all the wins. Damn, how stacked has 2017 been already? I hope there's still some left for the rest of the year
I take it the same person didn't write the Horizon and Zelda reviews? Metro's preview has an interesting quote:
"Having just completed it, we couldn't help but think of Horizon Zero Dawn while playing Breath Of The Wild, and how simplistic it now seems compared to Zelda"

I'll be getting around to Horizon a little later (Switch is occupying March and Persona 5 is occupying April) but I'm excited to play it.
2017 is going to be a historical year for gaming.
You should check out the preview thread. People were getting annoyed at the unanimous positivity. It's weird.Why is the BOTW getting a 10 upsetting people or downplaying it? It's a very good score. You should be happy.
No review is objective ever. Take this review for what it is: they played it, loved it, and think it is a 10/10. That's subjective like any review ever.Serious Question:

There's still plenty of time for games to be delayed into 2018.2017 is going to be a historical year for gaming.
Good adjustments, still no Metroid Prime tho :|
A 10 from EDGE, I remember when those actually meant something.
