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 98 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 30 times.

- 100Onimusha: Way of the SwordAug 31, 2026
“Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a visually stunning revival that successfully brings Capcom’s classic franchise into the modern era using the RE Engine. Musashi injects a refreshing sense of personality into dark fantasy Kyoto, especially during the game’s intense and cinematic boss fights. This is definitely an action adventure game of the year contender.”

“Resonance: A Plague Tale – Legacy does a good job of taking players back in time to explore this world further while also providing a welcome twist on the formula from previous games. While still definitely feeling like a part of the Plague Tale series, its new focus on combat gives it an identity all its own. ”

“While it gets off to a slightly slow start, Star Wars Zero Company eventually becomes one of the more thrilling tactical games in recent memory. The second half of the game in particular moves from strength to strength, never letting characters grow complacent. If you’re remotely open to this style of game and have any love for Star Wars, this is a must-play.”

“Even though The Sinking City 2 is mechanically a much better game than its predecessor, it ultimately loses sense of what made the original so special in the first place. What used to be a Lovecraftian detective investigation game has turned into a generic survival horror experience that is a bit too derivative of its inspirations. Still a fun romp, though.”

“Beast of Reincarnation is proof that Game Freak can achieve more than what they’re known for. Even where the execution slips a bit, the ambition doesn’t. Whatever Game Freak makes next, I want in day-one. ”

“Despite all its flaws, I still admire a lot about Crushed In Time. There’s a spirit of creativity, ingenuity, and risk-taking here that few games can match. That’s the thing about risks, though: sometimes they don’t pay off. The core control scheme here is certainly unique, but it simply doesn’t work well enough or consistently enough to be fun. At times, Crushed In Time can certainly be amusing, and there are a few chapters that are truly clever and engaging despite the controls, but I was glad to put Crushed In Time behind me.”

“If you have spent years waiting for a Bond game worth clearing a weekend for, 007 First Light is it. IO Interactive understood the assignment every other Bond game didn’t: the fantasy is the spycraft, not the shooting.”

“Ultimately, that’s what really made Mina the Hollower for me. The more I explored this world, the more things I found that I admired. This world is so well designed, and connected, that the fact that I don’t love certain choices the developers made doesn’t spoil the experience. This is a fantastic game, but one that you do have to work at to see what makes it so special. It’s worth that effort, and I really hope players will stick with it and see all the wonderful things it has to offer.”

“Indiana Jones and the Great Circle isn’t just another dose of leftovers on the Switch 2. This is a fantastic port of an already exceptional game that makes use of the Switch 2’s unique features and still looks great even in handheld mode. If you haven’t yet had the chance to take this adventure on, then this is an absolutely fantastic way to do so.”

“Invincible VS is a fun tag fighter with solid mechanics and does a great job of using its license to offer an experience that should satisfy fans of the show and the comic. It reminded me how much I want to go back and catch up on the show, which I hope to get to soon. I’m less confident it’s going to become a major player in the fighting game community’s tournament scene, since my favorite parts feel better suited to a more casual audience, but hopefully it finds a community that falls in love with it.”

“That the ending is a bit unsatisfying and the game is fairly one dimensional doesn’t change that Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta offers excellent combat and a very fun story up until the end. With excellent foes, an interesting world, and unique insight into Adol’s character, this is a chapter in his life story that any fan of the series should absolutely explore. It does a satisfying job of providing a definitive take on this part of Adol’s journey.”

“Pragmata is Capcom’s biggest swing at a new IP in years, and the wait was well worth it. Basing the entire combat loop around a real-time hacking minigame was a risk, but it stays engaging for the entire playthrough. I really hope Capcom gets to make a sequel, because there’s an amazing foundation here, and I’m not ready to leave Diana behind just yet.”

“I admire Pearl Abyss’ quick response to some of Crimson Desert’s issues, and I think there’s a real chance that it will eventually feel decent to play. At the moment, though, it simply doesn’t, and even with updates, I have my doubts that it will ever give me a world that’s engaging for anything more than its impressive visuals. There’s a lot to do in Crimson Desert, but so little that I actually wanted to do.”

“The core combat is still fun and fans of Scott Pilgrim will have a good time getting together and seeing all the references, but there are simply better beat ‘em ups available for you to brawl your way through.”

“Tales of Berseria Remastered may be the least necessary or helpful remaster I’ve ever played, but it’s still a good RPG well worth playing for those who missed it the first time around. Too many one-dimensional dungeons and combat, which, at times, is too complex for its own good, stop it from reaching greatness, but its unique story and cast of characters set it apart from the genre and make it well worth your time.”
