EDGE Magazine, one of the most respected voices in the gaming industry, has revealed its latest review scores in issue #422, published for May 2026.

Known for delivering critical, in-depth analysis on video games and hardware, EDGE’s May issue highlights several titles available or set to launch on the Nintendo Switch, eShop, and beyond.
