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 2 times.

- 70BLUE REFLECTION QuartetAug 31, 2026 · Giuseppe Vecchio
“Blue Reflection Quartet is spoiled by a series of unnecessary censorship, but above all by major cuts that heavily affect the original game and Sun. Nonetheless, the two main games represent the best Gust has done in recent years, both artistically and narratively, and on their own they're worth the entire package.”

“Cold Symmetry took Mortal Shell and tackled the heavy problems of the first chapter, creating a second entry that hybridizes Dark Souls and Sekiro that genuinely surprised us. Regardless of everything, the bold gameplay and the strong artistic component make it a game not to be underestimated, one genre fans should recover as soon as possible.”

“Lies of P Complete Edition is the sum of the experience created by NOUGH Studio and Neowiz. The game retraces the classic tropes of the Soulslike subgenre, improving the formula started by FromSoftware in some ways. On Nintendo Switch 2, the Balanced mode feels much closer to the fluidity of 60fps than to the heaviness of 30, while still leaving room to improve visual quality or add other elements.”

“Seventeen years have passed since its first release, but the value of Steins;Gate remains practically untouchable. STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT, unfortunately, fails to be its best incarnation.”

“The choice to convert the project from gacha to a premium title paid off, and the final result fully showcases the game's qualities: it's no coincidence DragonSword: Awakening found immediate success.”

“A parodic, low-poly, out-of-control version of Crazy Taxi, capable of pushing you to start one run after another despite barely ever introducing anything new.”

“Halo: Campaign Evolved is a more than valid entry point for anyone who never had the chance to discover the series at launch. The visual reconstruction is nearly flawless, and the audio manages to move you without relying on nostalgia”

“Vampire Crawlers perfectly blends the style of Vampire Survivors with dungeon crawler mechanics, with an identity and an idea that will be hard to replicate in the future.”

“A distinctive work, not always perfectly balanced, but with a personality so strong it's hard to ignore.”

“The work done by MAGI Inc. is impressive, not only for the amount of content, but especially for how every player choice truly carries weight on Alice's growth and the story's evolution. Magical Princess is not just a great game, but an experience of infinite sweetness that was truly needed.”

“Beehive Studio proves to have talent and ideas. The problem is that not everything maintains the same standard of quality.”

“Forza Horizon 6 can be considered a great arcade racer, though 'only' a solid sequel. Gameplay is one of its biggest improvements, with cars benefiting from Turn 10's work.”

“Starbites is an intriguing, inspired and fun game, penalized by a Nintendo Switch version that calling a disaster would almost be an understatement.”

“Monster Crown: Sin Eater is a great addition to the monster-taming genre, and simply calling it a 'Pokémon-like' would be extremely reductive.”

“Seeing the RE Engine in action in a sci-fi setting proves once again how excellent Capcom's graphics engine has become. An ode to games of the good old days.”
