Oh yes. Passion projects and especially turn based are a no no to the big heads. Sandfall really showed em what's up

I haven't played this yet but I am so glad to hear it being received so well by the gamers. And what's also great is that it released at $50 (base game) instead of trying to gouge our pockets at $70+. If any gamers want to splurge for the $60 deluxe version, then that's on them but it's completely cosmetic items and no gameplay content is locked behind that extra cost.

Hopefully this is a wake up call for the big publishers to revive the AA model.
Stellar Blade was another great example just a year ago

This game just had that magic for me.
Same feeling I had playing Astrobot. This I my GOTY so far

That’s because ‘Big Companies’ are led by know-nothing greedy money-suits these days, who make all their decisions purely on monetization and industry buzz-words …

gold_drake11d ago

the big issue is how much time and nust how many leople "need' to approve every little shit.

im glad the game turned out the way it did cause this is definitely my game of the year

Perhaps Sandfall can hold a special weekend, where they can invite Ubisoft and teach them how to make great games.

Only thing they want to learn is how to rip off their consumers even more

They gave Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 a 10, nice! Usually Edge are pretty tough critics.

I don't know. Giving Lost Records: Bloom & Rage a 7 is insanely generous. I'd probably cut that score in half. lol
