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 177 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 84 times.

“Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced will undoubtedly remain one of the best and most beloved entries in the franchise. It is the perfect opportunity for those who never got the chance to experience it back in the day, while also serving as a genuine nostalgia trip for longtime fans.”

“Deer & Boy is a fine example of the saying that “it's the journey that matters, not the destination.” Although its narrative is highly predictable, LifeLine Games' debut title is nonetheless a captivating experience that skillfully blends the minimalism of Limbo with the emotional depth of Planet of Lana to deliver the kind of adventure we love. Simple, certainly, but moving, at times clever in its approach, and above all, really intense.”

“If there were to be just one adventure game in your suitcase this summer, it would definitely be The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. Whilst it doesn't reinvent the genre, it embodies its best aspects with its generous and skillfully crafted story, an exploration that knowns how to reward you, and an immersive world where you truly feel like the hero. It won't become a new benchmark in the genre because of its inevitable comparison with Zelda and its too generic dungeons, but it remains nonetheless one of the most honorable examples of the past few years.”

“Even though it's great to see good old Indy back on the Nintendo Switch 2, it's hard to say this version does Indiana Jones and the Great Circle full justice. Despite the strength of its story and atmosphere, which remain very true to the spirit of the films, the gameplay experience is let down by a lack of technical optimization and user-friendliness, particularly if you want to enjoy the game in handheld mode.”

“This grand celebration is nonetheless marred by some notable absences. While both the French and original versions remain generally very solid, the lack of iconic voices leaves a slight void.”

“Of course, Mixtape is a short, highly narrative game with gameplay that takes a bit of a back seat. That said, it's a moving and captivating story that grabs you from the very first track. Beethoven & Dinosaur once again demonstrates its storytelling prowess and its ability to create characters that are as believable as they are endearing. They also unleash all their aesthetic creativity and perfectly capture what it's like to always have the perfect song to accompany every moment. A real treat, in short, that fully delivers on its promise, ensuring it remains one of the highlights of 2026.”
