Bleeding Edge

"Bleeding Edge has a lot of charm and fun to offer, but doesn&s;t do a great job making a case for itself over other games in the genre; which may hurt it in the long run."

"Bleeding Edge? More like Painfully Dull."

"Bleeding Edge&s;s many interesting ideas and fantastic characters are overpowered by a frustrating combo-laden gameplay loop."

"Bleeding Edge is engaging for a few hours and then heavy repetition sinks in"

"The attention to detail, great soundtrack, and largely well-designed characters belie a game that is clearly loved by those that worked on it, but the crippling lack of depth in every area of Bleeding Edge has made what should have …"

"Bleeding Edge wastes its limitless potential with bare bones content and repetitive gameplay."

"Bleeding Edge is a decent multiplayer action game lacking enought content to keep the players engaged in the long term."

"Bleeding Edge is a fun game, but one that lacks any real content and depth to keep players interested for the long-term. You&s;ll be entertained for a few hours, for sure, but if you&s;re looking for a multiplayer experience to …"

"Bleeding Edge has all the components in place to be a genuinely entertaining multiplayer mainstay, there just needs to be more of it. With only a couple of maps and modes, and far too few skins and emotes, Ninja Theory …"

"At its core, a unique brawler game that is held back from reaching its full potential by repetitive gameplay and a lack of features that in 2020 should absolutely be standard, at launch, for any game trying to squeeze into …"

"Bleeding Edge is an interesting combination of features taken from Overwatch, MOBAs and character action games, featuring a solid character roster, a good map selection and two plays modes that feel varied enough. The limited amount of content and the …"

"It’s not an experience I can recommend easily. Maybe if they worked on it, really gave it the old spit, shine, and polish and a handful more game modes, I would consider coming back. But as it stands now, it’s …"

"For the first few hours Bleeding Edge is an absolute blast to play and well worth a look if you have Xbox Game Pass. But there&s;s not enough depth to make it last long-term, at the moment."

"The future certainly looks bright, but today the product needs more than just a couple of game modes and 11 characters."

"Bleeding Edge misses its mark, but there&s;s a spark inside this game worth keeping your eye on."

"There&s;s a decent multiplayer action game concept buried in here, absolutely. Some of these characters deserve to live on in future projects. At the same time, it feels like there are only so many team dynamics to experience. It&s;s all …"

"Bleeding Edge&s;s energetic multiplayer battles thrive on close-quarters combat but its camera and lack of team balancing features are some significant issues."

"Bleeding Edge has a ton of potential, largely thanks to its fun and well-designed combat, colorful style and characters, and nicely-crafted levels and goals that emphasize the need for teamwork and strategy."

"Slender launch content aside, Ninja Theory&s;s first venture into competitive multiplayer ranks among the most joyously-frenzied brawlers of this generation."

"A fun multiplayer brawler hampered by some lag issues and a lack of game types. With an update or two to iron out the kinks, this utterly charming game could go from good to great."

"As it stands, Bleeding Edge appears to be a fascinating bet, but perhaps also a gamble on the part of Ninja Theory. Once again, the British developers did not lack the courage nor the appreciable desire to get out of …"

"Lackluster cosmetics are the least of Bleeding Edge’s problems. Ninja Theory may have succeeded in creating a cast of distinct, well-crafted characters that are full of personality, but it stumbled in making an engrossing game around that diverse roster."

"A certain degree of imagination."

"Bleeding Edge blends third-person action with MOBA and hero-shooter mechanics to create an interesting but flawed action esport."

"Bleeding Edge&s;s characters are cool, but the combat is too shallow to hold attention for long."

"Ninja Theory debuts within the stream of competitive multiplayer titles with a game which has some gameplay mechanics that are convincing enough to shine on their own, but whose light goes off as you think more about what might become …"

"Bleeding Edge is not what you would normally expect from Ninja Theory, and it&s;s hard to imagine why they would choose to work on this title instead of focusing on their other, more important, IPs."

"Bleeding Edge is a polished team-based brawler. Ninja Theory took on user feedback from the betas to improve gameplay and, with more content already announced, Bleeding Edge looks to have enough depth to pour countless hours into."

"Bleeding Edge is definitely worthy of your time – hopefully more so in the coming months when fresh content is added."

"Hopefully, little tweaks like these – ones identified and eventually fixed by the likes of Overwatch – find their way into Bleeding Edge sooner than not."

"Bleeding Edge is a solid hero brawler that currently lacks content badly. While the foundations of this hack-and-slash arena brawler are strong and the roster of misfit circus rejects is absolutely stellar, there aren&s;t enough reasons to play beyond the …"

"Bleeding Edge could be on to something with meaningful updates, but at launch it&s;s Xbox Game Pass filler at best."
