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 8 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 5 times.

- 90Mortal Shell IIAug 17, 2026 · Kristina Žarkov
“Mortal Shell II takes everything that made the original intriguing and expands it into a bigger, darker, and far more ambitious Soulslike experience. With brutal combat, fascinating lore, memorable bosses, and a beautifully grotesque world begging to be explored, this is Mortal Shell finally reaching its full potential.”

“The Mound: Omen Of Cthulhu is a Lovecraftian co-op extraction horror game that sends up to four players into a hostile wilderness in search of treasure. With unpredictable enemies, hallucinations, changing environments and an ever-growing sense of danger, every expedition becomes a fight between greed and survival. While the experience truly shines with friends, its perfectly haunting atmosphere and clever mechanics make every journey into the unknown worth the risk”

“Agent 64: Spies Never Die doesn't just mimic the classics; it feels like a lost N64 masterpiece that miraculously received a modern release. If you miss the golden era of retro espionage shooters, this is an absolute must-play.”

“Halo Campaign Evolved successfully translates the magic of Bungie's masterpiece into Unreal Engine 5, retaining its legendary gunplay while thoughtfully modernising the experience. With stunning visuals and a fantastic new prequel mini-campaign, it proves exactly why this game changed the industry 25 years ago.”

“D-Topia is a thought-provoking puzzle adventure set in a seemingly perfect AI-controlled society. As Facility Mechanic No. 046, you solve puzzles, build relationships, and help residents face difficult moral dilemmas. Behind its relaxing routines and charming visuals lies a deeper story about empathy, freedom, imperfection, and what it truly means to be human.”

“The vibe is there, the energy is there. The fast-paced action, spectacular moves, and the sense that any possession can turn into a highlight-reel moment make it enormously fun whenever you are in the mood for a few quick matches. More than anything, it is refreshing to see a game that once again treats basketball as pure entertainment, where the things that matter most are the same ones that made us fall in love with the sport in the first place: spectacular plays, fierce rivalries, and that unforgettable feeling when the final shot decides the winner.”

“Black Flag Resynced proves that even after more than a decade, Edward Kenway's adventure can still feel fresh, exciting, and unforgettable. Ubisoft didn't simply remaster Black Flag, they reimagined it with modern gameplay while preserving everything that made the original unforgettable. Few remakes manage to honor their source material while making it feel completely new. Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced does exactly that, delivering the definitive way to experience one of the franchise's greatest adventures. The result is a pirate adventure that's every bit as magical today as it was over a decade ago.”

“The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is a huge surprise. In times when The Legend of Zelda goes open-world sandbox and the Ys series becomes more and more JRPG, a classic action-adventure in the vein of The Legend of Zelda and Secret of Mana is truly welcome. With 30 to 50 hours, depending on how much you explore the world of Philabieldia and its clever time travel mechanic and urge to explore, The Legend of Elliot earns its place among the classics.”

“With its beautiful atmosphere, emotional story and unique perspective of a cat, Stray still remains one of the most special indie games in recent years. Thanks to the Nintendo Switch 2 version, this is the perfect opportunity to dive into this unforgettable adventure for the first time or even return to it once again.”

“Voidling Bound is a third person sci-fi action adventure game in which you play as a Space Wrangler, controlling and evolving alien creatures known as Voidlings to combat a galactic infection threatening humanity. The game focuses on collecting, mutating, and extensively customizing your Voidlings, while combining missions, combat, and progression across a variety of planets. Although some missions can feel repetitive, the combat, the Voidlings' design, and the countless ways to upgrade and enhance them make for an engaging experience.”

“Yerba Buena is one of the smartest and most refreshing first-person puzzle games I’ve played in years, turning world manipulation into a mechanic that feels genuinely original. It constantly challenges the way you think, rewards creativity, and proves that great puzzle design doesn’t need a massive budget to leave a lasting impression.”
