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 123 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 28 times.

- 90Onimusha: Way of the SwordAug 31, 2026
“Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a reboot done right. Rather than chase trends, Capcom has updated the gameplay while staying true to its roots. With stellar combat and rewarding exploration, this is one of the best action-adventure games released for the PlayStation 5.”

“Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters is a sequel done right. It builds on the original’s strong foundation, adding content and refining its ideas into an experience that looks and plays better. Tamsoft has put together one of the most unique and fun soccer games ever made, blending the real-life sport with the over-the-top anime it’s based on.”

“What makes Blood Dungeon so special is how well it encapsulates that feeling of making you want to do just one more run. Suddenly, an hour has passed, and you’re still making your way forward, making progress and earning new buffs for your character. It’s the mark of any great roguelike, as it never feels unfair, even when a run goes sideways, and the progress is truly satisfying.”

“Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 is by no means a perfect compilation. It could have benefited from packing in one or two more titles. There’s still no unified front-end, which means that you’ll need to bounce between half a dozen standalone applications instead of launching into a single game with an all-encompassing menu. And just like its predecessor, there’s a noticeable lack of video and behind-the-scenes material. That being said, if you’re looking for a way to play through two of the franchise’s best entries without fiddling with emulators or digging your aging PS3 or PSP out of the closet, it’s hard to take issue with what’s on offer. ”

“With the addition of rideable buggies, the streamlining of its tool system, and the sheer amount of content to work through, Grounded 2 is a no-brainer for those who bought into the series’ unique take on the survival genre. We’ll have to see how the game progresses as it inches its way out of early access, but so far, things seem rather bright in Brookhaven Park.”

“Beast of Reincarnation is a game that ultimately begs for a sequel, but is definitely worth experiencing.”

“Beast of Reincarnation is a game that ultimately begs for a sequel, but is definitely worth experiencing. With some really cool ideas for mobility and combat, it serves as a great framework for what could be a truly special game. It’s awesome to see a developer like Game Freak take a wild swing like this and try something new when there was little impetus for them to do anything besides crank out more Pokémon games. Let’s hope we get more in the years to come.”

“Blue Reflection Quartet is a fantastic way to jump into Gust's underrated JRPG series.”

“Still, even with these minor narrative missteps, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is a standout remake, taking the best bits of the original and sprucing them up for the modern era.”

“Still, even with these minor narrative missteps, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is a standout remake, taking the best bits of the original and sprucing them up for the modern era. From its stunning visuals and revamped combat to new characters and redesigned missions, it’s a must-play for anyone who’s looking to replay through Edward Kenway’s pirating journey. And for those (like myself) who never gave the original a go, this one’s a no-brainer.”

“It's a great introduction if you missed out on DOA6, but returning players will have to wait for some of its more exciting additions.”

“More seasoned Hitman veterans might have seen this one coming, then – when 007: First Light builds upon the formula that IO Interactive laid out with their flagship franchise, it fires on all cylinders, offering up some of the best stealth-focused action that we’ve seen in a Bond game to date.”

“More seasoned Hitman veterans might have seen this one coming, then – when 007: First Light builds upon the formula that IO Interactive laid out with their flagship franchise, it fires on all cylinders, offering up some of the best stealth-focused action that we’ve seen in a Bond game to date. Admittedly, it falters in some of its larger combat encounters, and its use of resource management can often feel like you’re a secret agent on a leash, but those missteps are easy to ignore when the moment-to-moment gameplay is this good”

“With some of the most beautiful visuals you’ll see on PS5 and a rocking soundtrack full of nostalgic vibes, Mixtape is a meaningful coming-of-age story that is a blast to play through.”
