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 2 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 1 time.

- 80Little NightmaresOct 30, 2018 · Wyzzlex
“The dark and sometimes pretty scary environments of Little Nightmares achieve to entertain throughout the three hour long story every minute. Highly intense chase scenes get mixed with nerve-wrecking moments, in which you have to sneak very carefully. Little Nightmares features great visuals with amazing animations and spot-on lighting. Fans of Limbo should definitely check it out.”

“The N. Sane Trilogy is a perfect remake of the first three Crash Bandicoot games. The graphics are great, the sound and music is well known for veterans and the gameplay is as hard as it was many years ago.”

“I really tried to like The Swords of Ditto. Sadly the only thing that's appealing is the visual design. The gameplay on the other hand is not very rewarding or enjoyable - not even in two player coop.”

“Clustertruck does many things right. If you like the trailer, you'll enjoy the game. The controls are somewhat wobbly at first but with enough patience you'll surely have a lot of fun. Unfortunately the game is kinda short so it's best to wait for a sale.”

“Hollow Knight is a content-rich Metroidvania with great visuals, a well designed combat system and a memorable mysterious world. It's easily one of the best games of 2017.”

“Tooth and Tail breaks down the common RTS gameplay to its essence and simplifies the unit control. Intense multiplayer matches on random generated maps and a hard singleplayer campaign ensure long lasting enjoyment of a complex yet easy to understand indie hit.”

“Ori and the Blind Forest is a beautiful game but the environments can be really distracting at times. It's hard to see all the deadly spikes and enemies while running and jumping at high speed and the game can become very frustrating. You will die alot, that's for sure. But even your many deaths will look incredibly good.”

“Dishonored 2 improves the strengths of its predecessor and introduces new concepts and fresh ideas everywhere while you unveil the somewhat foreseeable story. It is a must-have for all fans of the series and a game to definitely keep an eye on for everyone else. Players who love freedom of choice in every situation surely will enjoy it.”

“Blackwood Crossing tells an interesting story about family, relationships and loss. Sadly it's not easy to enjoy most of the slow and sometimes frustrating gameplay.”

“Shift Happens is a very well polished coop adventure. A suitable designed learning curve, the minimalistic graphic and sound design and cool gameplay ideas all fit together perfectly and offer many unforgettable moments of jumping and running.”

“Mirror's Edge Catalyst tries to improve on the good parts of its predecessor. Most of the time it fails to do so. The open world city is way to repetitive in many areas and fighting enemies just doesn't feel right.”

“Putting many unanswered questions aside, The Witness is one of the most interesting games of the last decade. The world is designed beautifully and with an incredible amount of hidden details. Although the riddles can become annoying at some points, you definitely should visit the mysterious island.”
