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 1 game where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 0 times.

“Overall, the game is very polished, takes all the mistakes from the previous game and deftly avoids them, whilst giving us a lot more to play with. The lack of length is the main downfall, along with a poor narrative conclusion.”

“If you grew up on 80s Saturday morning cartoons and action films, this is the game you've always wanted to play.”
