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 68 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 35 times.

- 80Onimusha: Way of the SwordAug 31, 2026
“While it’s not necessarily a continuation of the series’ plotline, what is certain is that this is one mighty fine Samurai adventure that continues Capcom’s streak of hits.”

“The Blood of Dawnwalker is going to be one of the most memorable RPG experiences of the year. Not because it has a movie-like budget, but because it executes its ideas brilliantly and makes the most of what it has”

“While it starts out strong as a less cinematic but still stunning Uncharted line experience, the final act drags on so much with the story spilling its wheels and the stakes sequences seemingly stuck in a Groundhog Day loop, the game squanders a lot of its initial splendor towards the end.”

“Do you judge a game based on its lasting impression or judge it on its beginning, middle and end? This will determine how much you like this game.”

“Akatori may have a fantastic art style comparable to some of the finest HD-2D games, but this is where my high praise ends, as it fails to offer anything else that truly stands out in an oversaturated market”

“The game leans more on survival than pure horror, with environments that grow richer as you progress. Its engaging story and strong environmental storytelling make it one of the finest adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft’s unsettling world. Fans of survival horror, especially titles like Silent Hill, will find much to enjoy—despite a few flaws.”

“Mortal Shell II made a huge leap from the first game, making its predecessor look almost like a tech demo. However, a few questionable design decisions hold it back a step behind the genre’s heavy hitters”

“An engaging story-driven add‑on that will delight veteran followers of the franchise, highlighted by Don Salieri’s comeback and the anticipation for the upcoming chapter, where he appears to take center stage. Priced at just $10, it delivers around two hours of narrative play plus extra side missions that cleverly utilize the gameplay systems — despite their constraints — in an almost flawless way.”

“This is the ultimate Marvel fighting game. I thought we had already peaked with MvC3, but Marvel Tokon proved me wrong.”

“Beast of Reincarnation presents something fun and different, but unfortunately rushes its landing, resulting in an unpolished and forgettable story despite its enjoyable gameplay.”

“Had all the right ideas and ambition to become something special, but falls short in executing many of them, resulting in an action RPG that is fun, yet unremarkable.”

“A competent update to a classic that is predictably starting to show its age, best played co-operatively. A short and sweet trip down memory lane.”

“Graphically pleasing and with enough touches to make it feel more than a graphical overhaul, this sometimes buggy (and stripped of its competitive mode) trip down memory lane is brief and predictable but still fun.”

“If you’re looking for a 4-player PvE looter shooter with a unique ink based battle system look no further than this well made and addictive game that can be played in short bursts if you desire.”

“With the future of the series and even the studio in doubt, this expansion is truly a fitting swansong that fleshes out and expands on the main game in very meaningful ways.”
