While the game suffers a little from lack of polish, Shadows of Doubt is a beautiful thing even when something goes wrong. It’s satisfying to solve cases, easy to pick up, and feels deep enough that you can sink your teeth into it regardless of whether it’s a quick jaunt or you’re in for the long haul. Here’s hoping that when ColePowered Games finishes with it, it delivers on the promise this demo represents, because then this will be one for the ages.
Review - The more you invest in Shadows of Doubt, the more rewarding it will be. You could spend countless hours in this city with its inhabitants.
Issue # 403 of Edge Magazine has been released, and it features reviews for games including Astro Bot, Space Marine 2, and more.
Wow, Edge are usually pretty stingy with scores, but they gave Astro Bot a 10. It really shows just how fantastic that game really is, getting universal acclaim.
Most of the time Edge gives Nintendo games high score, I am assuming they like Platformers?
Kudos to Team Asobi and Sony for this masterpiece though
See, I feel like you unintentionally stumbled upon one of Edge's main review issues: "they." Since it's not easy to know which critic(s) played what, it's tougher to grasp which elements make someone feel annoyed or excited. A pet peeve for you may carry more weight for me and vice versa.
Yet they have Outlaws a 7 which is super generous from them
I’ve seen them call other games for less
Certainly suspicious in light of Space Marine 2 netting a 6. I'm 99% confident it's more polished than my recent experience with Outlaws.
I'm dying for more Astro Bot content. Can't wait until more speed run levels come out in the following few months
I just got the plat yesterday. I hate those dam birds that get shot at you like missiles. But still loved every single level. Can't wait for the free update with more levels coming soon.
Astro’s pure video game. Good gameplay, pacing, design. There’s something refreshing about it. In comparison, I recently started FFRebirth and was already feeling open world intel burnout by Junon. Theres definitely still a place for linear games.
Gary Green said: I’m surprised a title as ambitious as Shadows of Doubt slipped under my radar for as long as it did, particularly because it was available in early access on Steam over a year ago. Even the iconic Yahtzee Croshaw was singing its praise a while back, and rightly so. It’s a unique and captivating experience. Let’s dive in and see how the additional seventeen months of bug-fixes, refinements and overall polishing have improved the game, as it makes its PS5 debut.
