Final Fantasy XIII: Edge Review is 5/10 – ‘Takes risks from series foundations’

If you have been reading the countless reviews for Final Fantasy XIII that went live recently, you’ll know that the majority of them were decent scores. Not this one though, as Edge Magazine has just scored the game a 5 out of 10. Ouch.

As taken from their website, their first line sort of sums up their general impressions of the game: ‘Things don’t always go so smoothly’. Reasons for this according to them, include a ‘poor’ story, linear battles and cutscenes, and ‘brave’, but ‘risky’ structural changes from previous titles in the series.

If you are looking for a different take on Final Fantasy XIII, then the usual reviews that you’ve been reading recently, then surely Edges fits the bill.

Take a look at their review in full here, then let us know your thoughts on the poor score.
