"As an outsider looking in, the video game adaptation of Edens Zero confused the hell out of me due to its disjointed take on the manga’s plot. Its combat and overall mechanics could have been just a bit more polished. …"

"While boss battles offer more exhilarating and challenging moments, the lack of greater refinement in its core systems, coupled with the absence of activities beyond battling and collecting chests, prevents Konami&s;s title from truly standing out in an already saturated …"

"EDENS ZERO sets out to honor the spirit of Mashima’s beloved series but ends up feeling more like an unfinished beta than a fully realized RPG. There are glimmers of enjoyment—janky-but-fun combat and a few heartfelt character moments—but they’re buried …"

"EDENS ZERO is a cosmic adventure that captures the style and heart of its anime roots, but stumbles on polish and depth. It is a flawed game that still manages to be an endearing one. Fans will overlook the rough …"
