How this trust score was computed
This reviewer publishes verdicts, not numbers, so trust comes from their recommend/pan calls: call accuracy (50%): when they say buy, do players end up satisfied, and when they say skip, do players agree; alignment (25%): do their recommendations sort games the way players do; and player-side (25%): on games where press and players sharply disagreed, whose side were they on. The blend is shrunk toward a neutral prior (60) so small histories can't peg the scale, and recent verdicts weigh more (2-year half-life).
Controversy record: on 46 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 12 times.

“"Black Flag Resynced is an excellent example of improving the past while not breaking the whole thing. Impressive, optimized, and enjoyable as hell."”

“"A rough mixture of open city and structured missions, Samson does some things very well. However, for everything the game does right it misses the mark on something else. Janky combat and poor AI hurt the games main focus as well. "”

- 100Nioh 3Feb 4, 2026 · Jeremy Penter
“"Nioh 3 rises above some occasional bugs and a couple stinker bosses to be an excellent representation of the middle ground between the older more rigid Dark Souls styles of games and the wider Elden Ring. The two class system works well enough and the game has enough systems to keep almost anyone locked into mini maxing for the next 4 months"”

“Outer Worlds 2 has a large number of improvements but it also has some open world bloat in the form of long sprints doing absolutely nothing. Also the writing can feel as if a bit of the charm is gone, where laughing from the outside worked in the original title, in the sequel it almost feels like the laughing is gone, replaced with a smirk at most. Fun shooting though!"”

“"Generally pretty good but the games middle and end meander and it doesn't do much to elevate itself above the pack or even offer much new.”

“"An excellent sequel to an already incredible first title. Ghost of Yotei adds some complexity but also streamlines the original games combat into a smoother and more unique experience. The world is gorgeous, the land is fun to explore and the combat is excellent.”

“"Pretty good crimes, enjoyable puzzles, and a nice brainboard to work through your ideas makes a game that works well enough but won't shake the industry."”
