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 45 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 10 times.

- 90MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting SoulsAug 15, 2026
“Arc System Works had a big task to live up to the Marvel Vs Capcom series, but Marvel TOKON: Fighting Souls offers the strongest foundation possible to become a new FGC pillar. ”
- 40Legacy of Kain: AscendanceApr 6, 2026 · WB Mason
“All in all, Legacy of Kain: Ascendance is a poor attempt to inject energy into a long-forgotten franchise.”

“Super Meat Boy 3D is precisely what it says it is: the gameplay of Super Meat Boy, in 3D. Sounds great to us.”

“Project Songbird is ambitious, atmospheric and, while not super original, still manages to be interesting and enjoyable, even if it doesn't quite reach its full potential.”

“Scott Pilgrim EX had a lot of legacy to live up to, and it mostly honours that with excellent mechanics and gameplay overhauls alongside a brand new story.”

“Tarsier's most ambitious and grand horror-adventure yet is a thrilling, baffling ride that will have you fully invested - for as long as it lasts.”

“Romeo Is A Dead Man's time travelling shenanigans offer fun, if generic gameplay and a bonkers story, making this is a decent addition to Grasshopper's library. It's a 7/10, but complimentary.”

“Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song is ultimately a sandbox of very unique ideas bogged down by needlessly complex and obtuse systems, some of which are borderline player-hostile. Is it still worth playing? Perhaps, but only if you know what you're getting yourself into.”

“Wreckreation isn't bad enough to deride, but it certainly isn't good enough to recommend.”

“The textbook definition of a rental game, Painkiller is a blast to play over a weekend, then never think about again.”

“Naff campaign and some potential balancing issues aside, Battlefield 6's multiplayer is top notch large-scale chaos.”

“Jurassic World Evolution 3 is a polished and enjoyable park builder which makes excellent use of the Jurassic World licence. It is also a game that plays it safe, and may not be deep enough for some tycoon fans.”

“Despite its lack of depth, I did enjoy my time with Jurassic World Evolution 3. It was easy to drop in and out of, but its casual nature may put off those looking for something more complex.”

“Despite minor blemishes, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter sticks the landing as a faithful yet ambitious remake. Though slow-paced, Falcom's stunning retelling of the series's origin is the new definitive starting point for your Trails journey, and an excellent RPG in its own right.”
