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.

Resonance: A Plague Tale LegacyAug 26, 2026 · Grzegorz Cyga
“Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy isn’t just a breath of fresh air for the series, demonstrating that it isn’t only dark stories set against a backdrop of real events that can be engaging. This game had all the makings of being the best instalment in the series and a worthy successor to Uncharted or Tomb Raider. However, although some of the shortcomings of its predecessors have been addressed, ultimately not everything went to plan; but given that this was something of an experiment, one can hope that for the franchise and its creators, this will be just the first of many successes to come.”

STAR WARS Zero Company™Aug 26, 2026 · Mateusz Wróbel
“A brilliant turn-based, tactical game set in the Star Wars universe. Perfect for fans of the franchise, and thanks to its many features, it’s excellent even for those who aren’t particularly familiar with this genre of games.”

Hell Let Loose: VietnamAug 23, 2026 · Dagmara PaniFrau
“Gameplay on the Hell Let Loose Vietnam maps is only just getting underway, but the changes and new features introduced to the game show that the series is heading in the right direction. Fans of the first game should be pleased. However, it is still not a game for those who are used to the pace and dynamics of the most popular multiplayer shooters (which, to be honest, is by no means a drawback).”

Beast of ReincarnationAug 20, 2026 · Paweł Musiolik
“What looks excellent on paper doesn't always translate well into the final product. The atmosphere and world-building of *Beast of Reincarnation* carry the rest of the experience, but that alone isn't enough to elevate the title to the ranks of truly great productions.”

Kusan: City of WolvesJul 28, 2026 · Wojciech Gruszczyk
“Kusan: City of Wolves is a spectacular, brutal and challenging top-down shooter that pleasantly surprises not only with its combat, but also with its dark world and well-crafted story. It’s a very good game for players who enjoy a challenge and beating their own high scores, but its unforgiving nature and limited variety mean it won’t be to everyone’s taste.”

Halo: Campaign EvolvedJul 25, 2026 · Wojciech Gruszczyk
“Halo: Campaign Evolved marks a very successful return for the Master Chief, combining superb gunplay, a brilliant atmosphere and spectacular visuals with sensibly implemented changes. At times, the remake remains a little too conservative, and the lack of multiplayer clearly limits its content, but the campaign itself still delivers a brilliant, challenging experience. It’s a cracking shooter, and let’s hope it marks the start of a new chapter for both the Halo franchise and Xbox.”

Denshattack!Jul 15, 2026 · Krzysztof Grabarczyk
“A tram instead of a skateboard, in Japanese style. The dizzying speed and powerful gameplay make this game impossible to miss.”

The Mound: Omen of CthulhuJul 15, 2026 · Krzysztof Grabarczyk
“The call of adventure on an island plagued by Lovecraftian cosmic horror? Sounds tempting. However, after a few hours, you’ll get the feeling that you’ve already seen everything this game has to offer. For the brave.”

Assassin's Creed Black Flag ResyncedJul 8, 2026 · Mateusz Wróbel
“Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is simply a decent game, but – in my opinion – it lacks that certain something found in the latest instalments of the series. The changes to both land and sea combat make for a brilliant experience in the first dozen or so hours of play, but ultimately it very quickly becomes rather monotonous.”

House Flipper Remastered CollectionJul 1, 2026 · Dagmara PaniFrau
“The House Flipper Remastered Collection offers a complete edition of the game, featuring all the DLC released to date and new storylines. The content is the main strength of this edition, because when it comes to technical improvements, one gets the impression that not everything went to plan. Of course, it’s not a botched job – but it’s not perfect either.”

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium TalesJun 22, 2026 · Wojciech Gruszczyk
“The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is a very successful launch for a new franchise, combining excellent combat, enjoyable exploration and stunning HD-2D visuals. The game isn’t groundbreaking, and the developers have clearly opted for safe choices, a straightforward story and very accessible puzzles. Fans of the classic The Legend of Zelda games, however, should have a brilliant time, as this is a charming, polished and highly satisfying adventure.”

007 First LightMay 26, 2026 · Wojciech Gruszczyk
“007 First Light is the best James Bond game ever – brilliantly written, superbly acted and brimming with that unique atmosphere we’ve come to expect from stories about Agent 007. IO Interactive has combined its own experience from Hitman with a cinematic adventure in the style of Uncharted, throwing in gadgets, spectacular missions, interesting characters and a very well-crafted story of the young Bond. Not everything works perfectly, as the game sometimes holds your hand (a bit too tightly!), but ultimately it’s a brilliant start to a new era of 007 in gaming.”

“Mixtape is a beautiful, musical, and deeply nostalgic story for one evening, brilliantly combining visuals, soundtrack, and memories of the end of youth.”

Forza Horizon 6May 14, 2026 · Wojciech Gruszczyk
“Forza Horizon 6 is the biggest, most beautiful and most diverse instalment in the series yet, finally taking players to a dreamlike Japan. Playground Games hasn’t revolutionised the series, but it has once again delivered brilliant driving, a wealth of activities, over 550 cars and a world in which it’s easy to lose yourself for dozens of hours. It’s still classic Forza Horizon, but in such a spectacular, rich and polished form that fans of the series will be delighted.”

Invincible VSMay 5, 2026 · Piotrek Kamiński
“"Invincible VS" offers truly addictive, fast-paced gameplay that requires a bit of luck and tactics, but it takes a bit of getting used to before you can truly enjoy it. Those who are patient will be rewarded. The rating could have been even higher if not for a few instances where the theme's potential wasn't fully realized.”
