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 34 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 6 times.

- 80Shelve the Potions!Aug 27, 2026
“I had a really good time playing Shelve the Potions! I went in a bit sceptical about how good it would be, but I had nothing to worry about. The abilities could be made better, but apart from that, it's a truly great game, not just in the cozy organizing genre, but in general. I liked the spooky cellar setting, the potions were very colorful, and I enjoyed solving all the puzzles, including the really challenging ones. I would definitely recommend Shelve the Potions! to anyone who likes puzzles and cozy organizing.”

“Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is the latest installment in the Hell Let Loose franchise developed by the Expression Games. Although the installment provides an identical gameplay experience to the original, the new gameplay features greatly complement the Vietnam War theme. There are new roles across the six unit types, helicopters exclusive to the US Force, tunnels exclusive to the NVA Force, and weight capacity for progression purposes. The overall environment of HLLV is claustrophobic and atmospheric, but it can be a struggle to locate enemies through the dense foliage. Moreover, with the current state of animation bugs and poor optimization, it might be best to give it some time.”

“Sort Them Ducks is probably one of my favorite cozy organizing games so far, definitely up there with Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library! and Supermarket Chaos. It's cute, fun, and quirky. I simply adore the whole rubber duck theme, and the ducks themselves have been wonderfully designed. I also like the use of the physics system in Sort Them Ducks. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who enjoys cozy organizing or wants to give it a try.”

“I enjoyed playing Landscaper Simulator. I don't often go for these type of simulation games, as I tend to find them too overcomplicated, especially with the management side of things. Fortunately, Landscaper Simulator offers a simpler experience, focusing mainly on the task of cleaning everything and using earned money for useful upgrades. I especially liked the setting of Grasstown and all its levels. I thought they were nicely designed overall, making completing each task in these locations more enjoyable. Simply put, if you're looking for a straightforward simulator game that isn't too complicated and enjoy cleaning games, look to Landscaper Simulator.”

“Overall, Cellar Keeper turned out to be a really fun and relaxed experience. If you enjoyed Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library!, this is pretty much the same game, except you're sorting through wine instead of books. The other unique aspect of Cellar Keeper is having all the sections labelled with intricate symbols, creating more of a challenge so it's not too straightforward. I also appreciate that Cellar Keeper has more than one mode that appeals to different players, catering to those who want a more relaxed experience or are a fan of speedruns. Cellar Keeper is a good entry in the cozy organizing genre and I would definitely recommend it.”

“Overall, I had a lot of fun playing Cleaning Up the Puzzle Gallery. It was a truly splendid way to spend a few hours of my day, sorting through all the pieces and putting all the paintings back together, which felt like a real privilege. Having the classical music to listen to while I played made the experience even more special. The skills you can unlock are very useful, although there is some room for improvement, such as more generous cooldown times and making highlighting pieces more effective. After completing the game, I wish I could spend time wandering around the gallery, admiring the artworks. Aside from these little niggles and desires, I enjoyed my experience with Cleaning Up the Puzzle Gallery and would greatly recommend it.”

“Abyssus has a solid grasp of the FPS roguelike formula, providing a fun experience battling enemies with friends. There's lots to experiment with and it's worth practicing on your own before jumping into multiplayer games. Without multiplayer, the game becomes stale quickly and it's hard to maintain interest. Ensure you have friends who can play if you want to pick up this title.”

“The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is worth trying with friends for its atmosphere and co-op tension, but solo play and performance issues hold it back.”
read full review ↗ - 85Supermarket ChaosJul 6, 2026
“Supermarket Chaos is one of those games that took me by surprise. I was expecting it to be a cheap knock-off Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library!, but it quickly developed a life of its own. It's easily a very relaxing and stress-free game, as well as being naturally addictive as you embark to complete every shelf and find every item its home. Graphically it could do with a bit more polish to make it look a little sleeker, but it is at least practical and functional, which is probably more important. I can see myself playing Supermarket Chaos again in the future if I'm looking to unwind for a while. I could also see this game receiving either DLC or a spin-off, maybe for another type of store like clothing or plants? In summary, if you enjoyed Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library!, I would definitely recommend Supermarket Chaos.”

“Solarpunk is a great cozy survival crafting video game set in a world of floating islands. Players can explore the floating islands using the airship and gather resources for advanced recipes. Despite it being a survival, it is more of a relaxed craft and build title, perfect for players who enjoy cozy, creative survival games. It has both Solo and Co-op modes, allowing players to craft, build, explore, and automate solo or with their friends.”

“Papa's Mocharia Deluxe is a fun and healthily-challenging game that will keep players busy for a while with everything that it has to offer, including all the jolly holidays, notable customers, and unlocking new ingredients and special orders. This game should be boringly repetitive, but the cycle of holidays and unlocks prevents this from happening, instead turning the game into an addictive experience. The optional mini-games add variety, and the customization of characters and the shop offer creativity. Papa's Mocharia Deluxe is the third game to make its way onto Steam after Pizzeria and Freezeria, and it shouldn't stop there!”

“Black Jacket takes the traditional game of blackjack and runs with the premise letting you manipulate the field, it’s quick and challenging fun that’s difficult to step away from.”

“Overall, Luna Abyss is a thrilling first-person bullet hell with excellent platforming, satisfying combat, and a tight runtime that never overstays its welcome. Disruptive loading screens and forgettable features hold it back slightly, but Luna Abyss remains a strong sci-fi shooter. I look forward to what Kwalee Labs will cook up next.”

“Anybody who has spent countless hours into a life simulation game before may just love Paralives. You are able to play this game however you like. Focus on creating several diverse types of Parafolks and homes with an impressive customization suite among a solid gameplay foundation. The biggest hurdle to Paralives right now is the fact that it's an Early Access title that is still incomplete, with more work needing to be done in Live Mode to definitively feel like the best in its market. Despite that, the massive amount of potential already present here makes Paralives a game that fans of the life simulation genre should check out. [Early Access Score = 85]”

“MULLET MADJACK is the perfect culmination of artistic vision, a fantastic soundtrack, a tight gameplay loop, and a surprisingly sharp story. Everything in this game points in the same direction. I got my dopamine. I came back for more. And I am still chasing the leaderboard. That is exactly what this game was built for, and it nails it.”
