In its review for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Edge pointed out that the game is not designed to be realistic so much as authentic. Even then, there’s a tension between its nature as a game and its developers’ ambitions. According to the magazine, the underlying themes of its story can’t match the sophistication of its presentation, despite a skillful script.
Meanwhile, Edge hailed Blue Prince as a towering achievement, highlighting its ability to greatly reward effort with its depth. According to the magazine, the notion that it is about finding a room is a beautiful lie, as so much is hiding in plain sight or beyond the game’s apparent boundaries.
Last month’s issue # 409 featured reviews for Split Fiction (8), Monster Hunter Wilds (7), Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (8), Delta Force (4), Expelled! (8), Two Point Museum (9), Wanderstop (6) Knights in Tight Spaces (6), Omega 6: The Triangle Stars (5), and Centum (8).
