How this trust score was computed
Trust blends alignment (40%): does the outlet rank games the way players do; decoded accuracy (30%): after translating the outlet's own scale habits (a '7/10 means mediocre' scale is decoded, not punished), how well its reviews predict player sentiment; and player-side (30%): on games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, whose side it took. Recent reviews weigh more (2-year half-life), and the blend is shrunk toward a neutral prior (60) so small samples can't peg the scale. Player quality is launch-window Steam sentiment, so outlets aren't punished for reviewing a launch build that later got patched.
Controversy record: on 5 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 1 time.

- 83DuskfadeAug 13, 2026 · Tim Henze
“The atmosphere is great, and the graphics are impressive across all platforms, including the Nintendo Switch 2. With a pleasant playtime of 12 to 15 hours, Duskfade is a great choice for relaxing evenings. Fans of Kingdom Hearts will also pick up on some references and immediately recognize the inspiration. Duskfade doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it’s still fun and brings back memories of the early 2000s—the PlayStation 2 and GameCube era.”

“Lies of P: Complete Edition gets everything right that we hoped for from a port of the game. It plays incredibly well, and the technical execution is clean. Both the main game and the Overture DLC are fully included in this version (and also on the cartridge, once available), giving you 60-70 hours of playtime out of the complete package. The weapon system invites endless experimentation, and Krat is an atmospheric powerhouse. We're hoping the sequel, Lies of P 2, also finds its way to Nintendo Switch 2. Anyone who hasn't played this title yet and is a fan of the soulslike genre absolutely cannot afford to miss it. An essential purchase.”

“Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel offers a fresh, satisfying spin on the Vampire Survivors formula — chaotic, addictive, and a genuine blast in couch co-op, even if frequent crashes hold it back from greatness.”

“I can simply recommend this game. You get a lot of bang for your buck here. The lovely music and cute visuals are well executed, and the funny dialogue, wacky situations, charming residents, and huge range of customization options throughout the game create a truly unique experience.”

“Wisageni Studio nails the visuals and soundtrack, capturing K-pop culture's vibe perfectly. The management systems, story, and dialogue show some weaknesses, though — activities and events repeat too often after a few hours, and choices offer limited variety. Still, the randomness gives the game solid replay value, especially since your decisions can lead to different endings. At €19.99, it's a solid package for anyone who enjoys visual novels and wants an easy entry into the management-sim genre.”

“First Light is a wonderful action-adventure with a great story, terrific presentation, and just the right mix of action and espionage — one I can easily recommend to any Bond fan, especially if you enjoy linear, narrative-driven games. However, if you're looking for a mechanically demanding, challenging gameplay experience, or expect your choices to carry far-reaching consequences, you won't get your money's worth here.”

“If you're in the mood for half an hour to an hour of pure cat cuteness, here's a lovingly crafted, completely stress-free little adventure that delivers exactly what it promises.”

“Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Nintendo Switch 2 delivers an impressive, fully playable port that inevitably compromises on performance and visual fidelity compared to PS5 and PC. Despite noticeable drops and technical concessions, Square Enix manages to preserve the scale, emotion, and sheer ambition of the original experience. Not a miracle port, but a highly competent adaptation of a modern RPG masterpiece.”

“Mixtape captures the bittersweet essence of youth with remarkable precision — the blend of freedom, uncertainty, friendship, and the quiet fear that everything is about to change. It’s this emotional honesty that lingers long after the credits roll, making Mixtape a game that stays with you well beyond its final scene.”

“Outbound delivers a relaxed and inviting cozy survival experience that successfully blends exploration, crafting, and base-building at your own pace. Its strength lies in its freedom: there is no pressure, no enemies, and no punishment for experimentation, making it an ideal game for players looking to unwind. While the crafting system can feel overly granular at times and some quality-of-life features are missing, these issues rarely break the overall experience. Minor technical rough edges and occasional interaction quirks are noticeable, but not disruptive enough to overshadow the core gameplay loop. Outbound is ultimately a slow-burning survival sandbox that prioritizes comfort over challenge — and largely succeeds in that vision.”

“NITRO GEN OMEGA presents a bold and highly original tactical mech concept built around time-based command planning and deep mechanical customization. Its systems offer genuine strategic depth, and the idea of assembling a personalized crew adds initial appeal. However, the execution struggles to consistently support its ambition. A steep and uneven difficulty curve, combined with pacing issues in combat, can make encounters feel unnecessarily drawn out. Technical inconsistencies and presentation shortcomings further limit the overall impact. Despite its strong foundation and creative identity, NITRO GEN OMEGA feels like a game that overreaches its current refinement level. It is an interesting tactical experiment, but not yet a fully cohesive experience.”

“If you’re looking for the most technically refined version of the game, you probably won’t have waited for this release and will have already experienced it elsewhere. However, for players who haven’t yet taken the journey and are willing to overlook a handful of minor texture and visual compromises, or simply want to dig through a few more tombs during their daily commute, the Nintendo Switch 2 version is still a highly satisfying way to experience it.”
read full review ↗ - 75Legacy of Kain: Defiance RemasteredMay 1, 2026
“Legacy of Kain: Defiance HD Remaster does a pretty good job of bringing this classic game into the modern gaming landscape visually. Even today, the story remains captivating, the dialogue is cleverly written and beautifully staged, the art style is unparalleled, and the overall, distinctive atmosphere of the world of Nosgoth allows you to fully immerse yourself in the experience. The gameplay innovation of the freely movable camera confidently sweeps aside the sharpest criticism of the original’s gameplay. Nevertheless, one can’t shake the feeling that more could have been done visually here, just as in the remasters of Soul Reaver 1 and 2, and that this was once again merely a trial balloon released to gauge today’s gamers’ general interest in the series. Accordingly, I hope this was enough to convince them to treat us to a proper, modern sequel in the future. That said, the overall gameplay and level design feel genuinely outdated in several areas these days. So I’d be rather skeptical about whether the remaster will be able to attract new fans… For connoisseurs and fans of the series, however, it comes highly recommended.”

“Just a few months after Resident Evil Requiem, Capcom has once again managed to win us over. PRAGMATA is a new and fresh IP that left us with a rather mixed impression—despite the demo—but it’s worth it! Technically on par with the Resident Evil titles for Nintendo Switch 2, PRAGMATA is impressive, even if the handheld mode could use a few tweaks in my opinion.”

“We now have nearly all the major mainline games and all the major spin-off titles from the Mega Man saga. As usual, Capcom has done a great job with this collection and has given the titles a facelift wherever possible. Numerous comfort settings for these rather dated titles are a wonderful feature of the Legacy Collection. You have a total of 7 titles to choose from, and if you stick with it, you’ll be rewarded, because Mega Man Star Force 3 was never previously released here in Europe and is also the most creative of the three. For fans of the Mega Man series and especially the Battle Network games, this collection comes highly recommended. For everyone else, you might want to check out the Battle Network Legacy Collection first to see if the RPG format for Mega Man works for you. On the other hand, we get 40–60 hours of gameplay for €39.99, which is also a very attractive offer. Maybe we’ll get a Mega Man Legends Legacy Collection soon, so we can have all the Mega Man games in one place.”
