Edge was founded as a magazine aimed at a more mature and discerning audience, interested not only in the games themselves but also in their cultural impact, design, and technological aspects. From the beginning, it was known for its high-quality design, in-depth and analytical articles, and a critical approach to the gaming industry. The magazine frequently published reviews that offered fresh perspectives on the industry, often focusing on innovative and experimental projects. Edge was also famous for its “rating system,” where game scores ranged from 1 to 10, with editors carefully justifying their opinions. It became a staple for those seeking thoughtful and unbiased critique.
