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 190 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 102 times.

- 80The Blood of DawnwalkerAug 31, 2026
“A stellar opening bite from Rebel Wolves, The Blood of Dawnwalker demonstrates it can claw and battle with the toughest of the vrakhir. While it's not quite at the level of the very best in the genre, it delivers a superb open world adventure, filled with intrigue and compelling combat. Give it enough time to feed and this Dawnwalker could grow into a titan, and I can't wait to see what blood feast will come next.”

“The next step in a clear path from Innocence, through Requiem, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy confidently switches to a full on action-adventure in the vein of Uncharted. A good combat system, simple story-serving design choices and a great story, make this a joy and to play, even as the dread mounts and you descend into the heart of darkness towards scenes every bit and terrifying and memorable as that tsunami of rats.”

“Dispelling the open world and detective heavy gameplay of the first, The Sinking City 2 sinks its roots into the survival horror genre with great success. It's more imitation than original in concept, which may disappoint fans of the original. However, it leads to a tighter, leaner and far more engaging sequel. Frogwares sought solace in an alternative Deep One, and have been bestowed with a more memorable journey as a result.”

“Whilst Moss: The Forgotten Relic doesn't bring anything new to the table, it does bring the right amount of enjoyment. That it feels like reverse-shoehorning gimmicks to make it accessible to non-VR players is implemented well, making for a great double package of adorable mouse adventuring.”

“UFC 6 is, to date, the most complete mixed martial art gaming experience available. Visual pleasing, with enough content to keep players going for many rounds. New accessible play options are a massive bonus, and whilst it does suffer from "EA bloat", it's not so overwhelming as to ruin the experience.”

“IO Interactive have delivered their vodka Martini shaken, though it causes plenty of stirs along the way. It's a rip-roaring, globe-trotting adventure that delivers thrills galore, with a shockingly good emotional core to deliver on the premise of 007's origin story. One of 2026's best games has arrived, and what a privilege it is to have James Bond back in full, unapologetic confidence.”

“On its own merits, Luna Abyss is a tightly put together first person shooter/platformer with an interesting enough story and concept. The gunplay is rewarding and not bogged down by tacked-on upgrade mechanics. The platforming is a neat little mix of brute force and lateral thinking, sometimes both simultaneously.”

“A few quirky characters and some turn-based battles struggle to hide that Starbites is a very middling JRPG far more concerned with silly banter than a compelling plot. It's passable salvage, but there's better out there if you know where to look.”

“Whilst the constant cheese puns and fourth wall trope-busting may grate after a fashion, there's a lot to enjoy in Mouse: P.I. For Hire. The old school shooting, with even older visual style, brings back nostalgia and challenge in one hit. Whilst more shooter than detective caper, it's still a gouda time.”

“A magical and charming adventure into a Moominvalley transformed by the elements, Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth puts Moomin at the fore in a whimsical story that always respects its source material. Subtle realignment of gameplay to suit Moomin and a continuation of every good aspect of its predecessor makes this wholesome treat of a game a wonderful cure for winter melancholy.”

“Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss falls prey to the greatest source of madness: boredom. Bogged down with its litany of technical issues and crashes, its fragile story and bland walking simulator gameplay fail to inspire even a modicum of intrigue. It's not Cthulhu who'll cause your mental degradation, but the endless tedium of trying to reach the finale of this abyss.”

“Still shiny, still enormous, still a Bethesda RPG, Starfield arrives on PS5 in style, allowing the game to flourish visually the way it was always supposed to. The game remains a vast, wild and at times enormously frustrating experience, but the starlight here tears through the blinds, and it's well worth staring back.”

“Pragmata is a much more reserved and grounded title than its premise may suggest, but that's for the better. Its central duo of Hugh and Diana form a likeable bond, its gameplay keeps itself tight and focused with some great-yet-cumbersome hacking mechanics. Even with some imprecise controls and visual mishaps, Pragmata makes a trip to the moon a sight to behold.”

“Emerging from the shadows of the Crossroads, Melinoë leads the charge for Supergiant's sequel that sits at the very top of the roguelike genre. The combat is exceptional, the visuals are divine, the story is mythical and its expansion as a sequel is first-class. Hades II safely resides in the hallowed halls of Olympus, worthy of its place amongst the immortals.”
