In its review for Elden Ring: Nightreign, Edge praised the game’s thrilling blend of ideas and wholly unprecedented feel, despite its fashionable and familiar components. According to them, Nightreign firmly establishes the studio’s designers as not only masters of their own domain, but now also a new, undiscovered realm.
Meanwhile, Edge criticized Doom: The Dark Ages’ color-coded parry system for using colors that are already in use elsewhere. While they praised the game’s overheating mechanic for being satisfying, both as a way of staggering your most powerful foes and for crowd control, they noted that it can be hard to parse. Ultimately, they found that the game is missing some essential thing that has always made Doom work.
Last month’s issue # 411 featured reviews for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (10), Forever Skies (5), Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves (6), Lost Records: Bloom & Rage (7), Skin Deep (8), Post Trauma (6), Tempest Rising (8), Bionic Bay (6), I, Robot (8), Ghost Town (7), Rusty Rabbit (5), and Old Skies (6).
