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 16 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 8 times.

- RecCall of Duty®: Black Ops 6Oct 28, 2024 · Łukasz Ankudo
“Black Ops 6 is one of the most pleasant games in Black Ops series. It mixes the old with the new to bring somewhat rough shooter experience, which still has no competition among its peers.”

“Starship Troopers: Extermination could have been great. It even sometimes is. Unfortunately it's frustrating due to technical issues and uninteresting due to missing "wow" factor.”

“Doctor Cat is a simple gate about serious issues. Might not lure you in with gameplay, but it's wort a look for the content within.”

“Kingdoms of Amalur is still underappreciated game. Remaster doesn't help to spread the word. Game looks better and plays better, but it retains many of original flaws. Re-Reckoning was a chance to redo underwhelming aspects of the game, but became vastly the same game with a bit of new flash.”

“Final look at Green Hell can be summarized as "it's fine". Building is not the best. Story requires your full attention and some thinking on your own. Survival is frustrating right up until you discover soup economics and combat is flawed. But it's fine. It's enjoyable, detailed, frustrating and still underdeveloped. But it's fine.”

“The game was released with broken basic Xbox feature - achievements. We cannot endorse such carelessness. The game had potential, but we can't see the point of buying it on Xbox.”

“Everspace is a beautiful game. It combines first person space combat from Elite Dangerous and exploration derived from brilliant FTL: Faster Than Light. It's worth a buy for vistas alone.”

“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare does what Battlefied V couldn't. New Battle Royale from Activision is a great combination of well known Modern Warfare gun play and Battle Royale mechanics. 150 players, every weapon in the game, it's a game to define the genre.”
read full review ↗ - 70Ash of Gods: RedemptionFeb 21, 2020 · Łukasz Ankudo
“Ash of Gods: Redemption is a mix of visual novel and turn based strategy. It excels in the case of former, but is severely lacking in the case of latter, providing us with great visuals and vast dialog (not voiced), but easy and unremarkable grid based fighting.”

“Untitled Goose Game is a short and fun game. The execution is clever, but after first two levels you have a feeling that you've experienced everything the game has to offer.”

“Lake Ridden is quite nice example of first game of new indie studio done right. It looks great and is fun to play. Puzzles are quite though and act more as an interruption in our walks rather than challenging mechanic to test your wits. Pleasant game nonetheless.”

“Pathologic 2 is a remake of a survival horror game from 2005. It streamlines the plot and makes everything look prettier. You can feel the age however and the supernatural elements can be off putting. Fans of Penumbra and Amnesia should feel at home.”

“Immortal Planet is Dark Souls remade for isometric view. It can be difficult at times and requires plenty of kill, level up, die, repeat. If you need to relax after getting you lower back kicked in Dark Souls, Immortal Planet might be just for you.”

“Headliner: NoviNews is a second game in the series, lesser in scope, but more fleshed out. It allows you to feel the power through the pages of a national newspaper. It's a great showcase of the power of media and how it can shape the world around us and influence our lives.”

“Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is quite a nice game if you are willing to spend time to learn it. It's not easy, because of lack of communication with player. If you dare though, it will provide satisfying and one-of-a-kind gameplay experience.”
