It's a fair review, but is it a fair score? Dark Sector also received a score of 70/100, from Edge, and of course it is older and is reviewed in the context of its peers at the time but I've played both and Resi 5 is much, much better in my opinion.

I think it deserves more credit for the things it does right rather than being marked down for it's failings.

I agree with a lot of people that the content of Edge reviews are usually useful but the approach and tone can be really offputting. Quite frequently as a reader I sense an air of superiority and they have an aloofness and elitism that is difficult to enjoy reading.

Hence why I check online for reviews now rather than paying for the magazine.
