In its review of Nioh 3, Edge describes the sequel as an evolution rather than a revolution. While it doesn’t deliver the kind of dramatic leap seen between landmark entries in other action-RPG series, the magazine suggests that’s understandable for a direct follow-up. Some core elements are beginning to feel worn, but the broader scope and Team Ninja’s trademark polish help it stand out in an increasingly crowded genre.
Meanwhile, in its review of Reanimal, Edge argues that developer Tarsier has pushed its brand of horror to its limits. Though minor flaws remain, they’re framed as inherent to the formula rather than fatal missteps. The game is portrayed as transcending its Little Nightmares roots to leave a distinctive, unsettling mark of its own.
As for Romeo Is A Dead Man, Edge says that the combat system, initially dependable, grows repetitive and overly formulaic in the later hours, exposing limited depth. Yet the review also highlights moments of striking creativity, particularly a standout animation sequence near the end. Ultimately, the game is presented as uneven but intermittently inspired, valued more for its unpredictability than its consistency.
