Edge 345 June 2020 : Feel Better
- Thread starter Shawn6661
- Start date
Nice idea for an issue, looks like they're holding off from news and reviews for another month which is fair enough (unless they've chucked them in the back of the issue or something).
Great selection of games, nice mix of well known favourites as well as older and smaller titles

They're page numbers aren't they?

Fuck, I wish my bookstore was still open so I could get a copy of that just because it has Gitaroo Man on the cover.
Also they cover Ouendan inside? What an issue

They picked Professor Layton and the Lost Future as a feel better game? That one is a total tearjerker.
It's the best Quarantine-related piece of media I've seen those last few weeks. Would like to purchase just because it's absolutely gorgeous ; I wonder if it's easily obtainable in France.
EDIT: I was just thinking "They should really have included Sayonara Wild Hearts" and... they have

Not sure if there are going to be reviews in this issue going by the contents page
This is actually really nice. These are exactly the kind of games that I'm really looking for these days.
Play Yakuza 0 everyone! And Mario 3D World if/when it comes to Switch! And play Rez Infinite while you're at it!
oh ok. Thought every month they have reviews. Guess not! :),
That cover is just ... *chef kiss*
I'm pondering what could be the next game to receive a 10 that Dreams was deservingly given last month.
I see that Edge prefers Forza Horizon 3 over the fourth game (like I do) too!

I think you can buy the digital edition. The print edition I'd imagine is pretty hard to find outside the UK.
Not sure if this link works and if you can only buy one issue: https://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/gaming/edge-magazine-subscription/#digital
Edit: Try searching for it on zinio.com They don't have the new issue yet, but I can buy the May issue for example.
I always see you come in topic and make drive by FFVII posts. EDIT : Got you confused with someone else my apologies!
Don't really think anyone is expecting a good score from Edge. 7 maximum.
You can play it with assists tbf but the story is absolutely feel good.
As someone who has played and loved Forza Horizon 1, 2, and 4 (still enjoying that one), can you explain why? I will 100% play FH3 at some point, too, but I'm just curious. Is it the setting? Is there more of a linear progression/straightforward story to it?
anytime i see katamari mentioned somewhere i'm just reminded how bamco forgot about the series after reroll. where's WLK? :(
edit: just noticed they included chuchel too! it's an amazing game, and probably the most under-rated game from amanita design (machinarium). i highly recommend anyone who's into point-and-click adventure games to check it out. it's pretty short, but it's worth it.

Animal Crossing is a godsend right about now.
I felt wonderful throwing drink cans and wrenches at unsuspecting guards in Hitman 2 yesterday.

I can't speak for them, but I found FH4 lacked real growth. Events appeared meandering given meritous play only fed into a bit of extra cash with no real skill barrier to overcome. Felt like the entirety of FH4 gave the illusion of progression, meters and XP bars everywhere, but it lacked satisfaction or substance as I gained nothing from it. It came across to me as a wasteland of vapid events that required nothing but time and showing up.
Plenty disagree and appreciated the shift from classic medal-chasing to a more flat progression curve. Many probably loved the quick-fix theme park approach. Just hop in a race or event, damn the results, just have a quick flit of fun and do something new next time!
I too found it enticing for a few hours but after a few days I grew weary of it all, and within a week I stopped caring or finding much substance to keep me engaged and never went back. Meanwhile I spent months conquering FH3.
Keep in mind this is a UK mag and FH4 is set in the UK, and this is all about games that can provide escapism. So better to have a trip to Australia in FH3.
I totally get what you mean, and thanks for the write up! Still enjoying it quite a bit as the individual races and some of the events are just so much fun in and of itself, but, yeah. I remember when I unlocked The Gauntlet, finished it in third place, and the game congratulated me still, that I felt a bit of "that's it?".
Still having a really good time though and the seasons make for a nice change of scenery. I remember FH2's always sunny countryside getting old once I had finished the first finale.
Anyway, awesome to hear that FH3 should be a blast once I get to it!
I can't imagine they dedicated an entire page of writing to each "feel good" game, or that they scrapped months of work on this issue because of the quarantine. I'd imagine it's a layout theme or that there are tiny write ups sprinkled throughout.
Pretty much what No Depth said.
Also: I liked the strayan setting better and I loathe the way FH4 manages the rewards with the roulette and all that. I still love the game. I just like FH3 better.
On the other hand, FH4 made me discover Odesza and for that I'm grateful. The "A Moment Apart" album is forever burned into my brain, specially "Across The Room".
