Why's that, H? Rime was on the cover in March.

I know, I'm a subscriber. Got an email yesterday about my copy being dispatched which had hints about what game would be on the cover. CoD is just a disappointing game for it to be as far as I'm concerned.

It could be said that Edge, and probably quite a few of its readers, look down at the game a bit and it's fair to say that the cover is a surprise. On the other hand, videogame mag sales are seriously struggling and I suspect that a CoD cover appearing on shop shelves may attract a few more eyeballs than is usually the case.

No cover image?

Would not read again.

The COD cover really is excellent. I saw it in WHSmith today and it stood out immensely. Black and white job.

I like the cover too. Whatever you may think about COD (I'm not keen), you can't deny the franchise is a big deal and certainly in need of a reboot. Quite cover-worthy IMO

Alternatively, to avoid the bites... click.

Rime and What Remains of Edith Finch I want.

Been interested in Rime since the first time it was on the cover. Pleased it looks like it's done the business. Will buy.

I'm surprised at the 9/10 for Rime because of its development hell and publisher divorce. The first trailer impressed me so it's good to see a high score - but I hope this is not solely because EDGE are categorising it as art or worthy. Have to see a few more reviews.

PostRe: EDGE #307 by **Preezy** » Sat May 20, 2017 9:37 pm

Never heard of it.

PostRe: EDGE #307 by **Rapidly-Greying** » Sat May 20, 2017 11:06 pm

I fell in love with Rime the first time I saw it,it's been a long time coming.

PostRe: EDGE #307 by **gamerforever** » Sun May 21, 2017 9:04 am

Surprised its been rated so highly, but will wait for other reviews. May wait for the switch version.

PostRe: EDGE #307 by **Errkal** » Sun May 21, 2017 9:33 am

Rime looks really good from the bits I've seen, it's on my games to buy list for when I eventually give in to a switch.
