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 2 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 0 times.

- 90Resonance: A Plague Tale LegacyAug 26, 2026 · Benjamin Braun
“While Amicia and Hugo de Rune got closer to my heart than Sophia, gameplaywise I liked the prequel even more. The versatile sword fights got oomph and as adventure fan the creative puzzles are right up my alley of courrse.”

“Well adjusted scarcity, solid combat and limited saving opportunities create intense Survival Horror. The qualities of The Sinking City 2 may not be on par with Resident Evil Requiem, but those who wish for less emphasis on action and love the Cthulhu-infused 1920s setting may like this game more than what Capcom is offering.”

“Corsair Cove is on of the most atmospheric City Builders I played in years. Especially the vertical constructions and the pirate twists on the formula are entertaining.”

“The combat in Beast of Reicarnation ist spectacular and shows ever more facets over time. It's such a joy I can look past most of it's shortcomings.”

“Halo - Campaign Evolved may not be revolutionary anymore and the age of the original shows, but the nice new look fits and the superb action gameplay is still a blast – especially in coop.”

“Actions fans who don't know the original should undoubtedly set sail. But even if your are a veteran, buying Assassin's Creed - Black Flag Resynced is worth it for enjoying the game again in it's best looking version by far. I had lots of fun doing exactly that!”

“The slow pacing in the first third of 007 First Light wasn't my cup of tea. But when the game really gets going, it might just be the best video game adaption of the world famous spy ever.”

“The Adventures of Elliot - The Millennium Tales is a well made Zelda clone with charming presentation and superb controls. For my linkings the riddles could be more challenging and the fights less simplistic, especially regarding the bosses. But The Adventures of Elliot possesses a special quality that I care far more about than for spotless puzzle and combat design: it flows like a dream. I can get so lost in exploring these lands, filling the map and finishing dungeons that I lose my sense of time.”

“People who don't know the original might have a hard time finding into the game with the lack of handholding and tutorials. But the story and atmosphere are strong, the world vast and varied, the dub great and the music beyond any doubt. As fan of the original Gothic, I am so very pleased how Alkimia Interactive captured all these strenghts and even added new areas, NPCs and quests in a way like they've always been there. Some troublesome bugs are still there but the devs already seem to be on their way to squash them. As they say in Gothic: All will be well.”

“The gameplay of Motorslice is pure fun most of the time. Smooth movement like Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time meets flow moments like in Mirror's Edge. And dare I say: No other game interpreted boss fights like in Shadows of the Colossus in it's own way quite so good as Motorslice does! Likewise the mechanical imitations of living spaces the slicer P fights her way through are just wonderful in the way they're not meant for humans. And if I look down after a long ascension and spot the level geometry of the place where I started 30 minutes prior, the sense of space of the interconnected world is astonishing.”

“Only seven playable characters, a lack of mini kits and skins posing as rewards instead of real gameplay advantages? Compared to earlier Lego outings from TT Games this feels like a downgrade to me. On top of that the activities tend to be to samey while also happening always in the same setting as opposed world hopping former Lego adventures. Still: Lego Batman - Legacy of the Dark Knight has ignited my collectathon fever once more, the animations are endearing and the dark atmosphere in Gotham City's eternal nighttime is crafted so well it is striking.”

“If you aren't detered by the intentionally blocky oldschool graphics, you can look forward to an tongue-in-cheek shoot-out in vein of the Starship Troopers films.”

“Clair Obscure celebrates the japanese design school of RPGs with so much bravura, it stands as a modern classic of the genre on it's own. It's not perfect, but damn close.”
