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 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.

- 92Injustice™ 2Aug 9, 2017 · Jett Vincent Sia
“Overall, Injustice 2 improves in nearly every aspect of its predecessor and is packed with so many things to do offline that it would probably take awhile for you to have an itch to go online. It has a very memorable story and it takes real skill to get the hang of this game. This game is enough to satisfy my fighting game needs for the rest of the year and it should probably be the same for almost everyone else.”

“Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy is a true gem and is a game worth getting by today's generation. A game that has evolved along with us from the very beginning. A game that gives me hope that other old treasures will one day get the same remaster treatment.”

“Yonder is a game filled with possibilities and quests. Its refreshing approach to the open world genre is a fun way to take a breather from those action-filled games. Farming and building your character to be a great cook, carpenter, fisherman and even a tailor has never been this fun. If only they can add enemies and combat to make my exploration more fun. I spent 8 hours playing yonder but there are a lot of quest that I still need to finish. Overall this game delivers what it wants to be. Given that this game was only created by 3 people, I was amazed how they pulled this off. This may not be for everyone but I'm sure this will be a hit.”

“Prey draws you in and gives you the weight of responsibilities that whatever the outcome is, they're yours to bear. So whether you retain your humanity, cast it aside to decimate your demons or maximize the two forces together, its all up to you. After many alluring hours in playing this game, the hardest thing I've ever done was deploy a turret in outer space and set it in a position to fire against the enemies in space. So be prepared, cause Prey takes being cautious to a whole new level in gaming.”

“If you enjoy dark, metaphorical games with Tim Burton-esque aesthetics then ultimately this game is right up your alley. It's a game that stays with you forever, leaving you and your friends a lot of arguments on what the game is really trying to tell us.”

“This is a game that's pretty much wild from the get-go, it's fun and does well enough to bring out a sadistic aspect in you or if you're a masochist you could always imagine yourself as the enemy as you find new ways to slaughter them. So if you're the type that likes going in ready to annihilate your enemies in a grisly manner, then this game is for you. Although the price may have you thinking otherwise.”

“Gamers on a budget can pick up the base game for Infinite Warfare at a reduced cost, however Modern Warfare Remastered is not included. Infinite Warfare is far from groundbreaking, however it's unequivocally a marked improvement from prior games. There's certainly more than enough content, it's just a matter of how familiar it feels to you.”
