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).

    “you’re either going to love or hate Carmageddon: Max Damage; there is no middle ground. This is escapism in the purest sense”

    “. The story is enjoyable enough to push forward but it’s not going be something you look back on fondly in a few weeks. The Technomancer‘s plot and characters are just not that interesting.”

    “Ori and the Blind Forest is excruciatingly difficult. If you struggled with Super Meat Boy, then best of luck to you.”
