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

- 80Onimusha: Way of the SwordAug 31, 2026
“Capcom's Onimusha reboot successfully combines old-school linearity with contemporary melee mechanics. The result is a throwback action-adventure bolstered by ultra-satisfying and modernised combat, as well as some of the most surprisingly unsettling comedy and horror moments in recent memory.”

“I personally found Type Help to be the superior and more memorable version of the game – with its minimalist presentation delivering a greater sense of dread as the layers of the mystery gradually reveal themselves. However, I'm still glad The Incident at Galley House exists if it means that William Rous' storytelling reaches more people.”

“It's a strange one, though, because even though Galley House has greater production values and is certainly more accessible (and is a game I would still recommend), I wouldn't say it is the best way to experience the game and the story, depending on your personal preferences. I actually think Galley House's presentation makes the story less impactful overall, compared to the original game. ”

“In the end, I'm glad I gave Returnal a chance five years ago and Saros is a fresh take on a format Housemarque has mastered – a satisfyingly frantic shooter that weaves between strategy and impulse to create a well-balanced and gratifying sci-fi action game.”

“Forza Horizon 6 is a really fun game to play, but how long it can hold your attention will be reliant upon how much you like racing games. For me, it definitely did bring back some of those fond memories from racers back in the day.”

“Without question, Forza Horizon 6 is a really fun game to play, but how long it can hold your attention will be reliant upon how much you like racing games. For me, it definitely did bring back some of those fond memories from racers back in the day, and jumping in to kill some time was a great way to experience the game.”

“This charming action-adventure deserves to be a massive hit and you should take a chance on one of this year's best games.”

“Pragmata is an incredibly fun experience that's full of satisfying combat, progression and unlocks, providing constant dopamine hits of sci-fi sounds and meaningful upgrades. This charming action-adventure deserves to be a massive hit and you should take a chance on one of this year's best games.”

“It's a shame that Reunion's fumbles, from its handling of Double Exposure's events to Max and Chloe's ending feeling unearned, drag down its brighter moments.”

“It's heavily inspired by the first game but doesn't understand what made the original enjoyable, and is further let down by imprecise movement and forgettable level design.”

“It's heavily inspired by the first game but doesn't understand what made the original enjoyable, and is further let down by imprecise movement and forgettable level design. Meat Boy's 3D adventure is little more than a generic platformer, and that's disappointing.”

“Crimson Desert's sandbox playground and beautifully crafted world do a lot of the heavy lifting to just about overshadow its confusing elements, generic story, and boring characters. What's here is an overwhelming amount of content and the bones of an amazing game that has to be respected for its ambitions.”

“The best way to sum up Resident Evil Requiem is to say it's a quintessential Resident Evil game. By the end of it, the apprehension around juggling survival horror and over-the-top action couldn't have been further from our minds.”

“The best way to sum up Resident Evil Requiem is to say it's a quintessential Resident Evil game. By the end of it, the apprehension around juggling survival horror and over-the-top action couldn't have been further from our minds. We couldn't care less about the semantics of genre labels when the game is this fun and seamlessly cohesive.”

“While there were a couple of things that didn't quite work for me, the stories that the machine holds, the strong writing, and the novelty of the game itself elevated TR-49 into something that really pulled me in.”
