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 1 time.

Outlet vs. players
Each dot is a game both this outlet and players scored. The dashed line is perfect agreement: dots above it mean the outlet was more generous than players, below it more harsh.

“This is a game that almost always feels great, will tug at your heart strings and most importantly, make you want to play all games from the perspective of an incorrigible little kitty.”

“The most exciting thing that this game has to offer is how ruthlessly and maybe even obsessively devoted the developers are to making everything you do matter. Every push of the button, every new side quest, every collectible, every interaction ties to a central theme or narrative push that connects to the meta narrative.”

“This is nothing short of a revolutionary change to the stealth action genre - albeit not perfect….Let’s put it this way….Deathloop has changed Stealth games to the same degree that Dark Souls...has changed Hack and Slash Games…”

“This is not a tactical assassination simulator - it's a complicated, crafted and nearly perfect open world experience that (if you give it a chance) it will win you over”

“The ‘Play as Anyone’ feature is the game's biggest fault. There’s no way to really work as a team. Instead each individual is one part of a fully fleshed out protagonist that has now been cut into 20 different pieces and called upon to work without the other. A severed hand doesn’t make a hero.”

“Vampyr has all the promise of an RPG experience that infuses narrative and gameplay into something special. In reality, Vampyr is unable to fulfill it's established conceit.”

“God of War is an experience that elevates the video game medium and is the new pinnacle of immersive storytelling”

“Far Cry 5, is simply put, the more cohesive, and brilliantly constructed video game of recent memory – but unfortunately in a pretty fundamental way it’s also, the most disappointing.”
