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.

    BLUE REFLECTION QuartetAug 10, 2026 · João Canelo

    If you haven’t played Blue Reflection yet, this collection is a perfect starting point. It brings four games together in a single package, covering the entire series, from the original game released in 2017 to the most recent sequel, which arrived on consoles in 2021. However, Blue Reflection Quartet offers little new for fans and is not an essential collection.

    House Flipper Remastered CollectionJul 24, 2026 · João Canelo

    The new collection brings some interesting improvements to House Flipper, such as a stronger narrative focus and a world map that offers greater variety in the jobs available, but the underlying problems remain, and Frozen District has failed to deliver what could have been the definitive version of its simulation game.

    Halo: Campaign EvolvedJul 23, 2026 · David Fialho

    Halo: Campaign Evolved takes us back to where Master Chief's adventures - and Xbox's own journey - began, with a faithful, confident remake that already leaves us wanting the rest of the trilogy to receive the same treatment.

    LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight celebrates decades of the DC hero’s history with a game that appears ambitious on paper, but ultimately falls into the traps of simplicity, repetition, and a few less entertaining excesses.

    HollowbodyJun 9, 2026 · João Canelo

    As a survival horror game, Hollowbody aims for a more narrative-driven approach, supported by a dystopian and oppressive atmosphere. However, its uninspired environments, unsatisfying combat, and inability to generate meaningful tension ultimately leave it feeling inconsequential.

    OPUS: Prism PeakJun 3, 2026 · João Canelo

    Its message is a powerful one, and Eugene’s emotional journey will undoubtedly resonate with most players, but the gameplay holds back Opus: Prism Peak’s full potential, allowing repetition to undermine the impact of its narrative.

    Luna AbyssJun 2, 2026 · João Canelo

    Aside from some pacing issues and an art direction that hampers visibility during exploration segments, Luna Abyss is an interesting first-person action game.

    MOTORSLICEMay 18, 2026 · João Canelo

    Although it presents some mechanical issues that could have been addressed with additional polish, Motorslice fills a significant gap in the action-adventure genre with a campaign packed with daring jumps and a range of abilities reminiscent of the golden days of Prince of Persia and Mirror’s Edge.

    Moomintroll: Winter's WarmthMay 1, 2026 · João Canelo

    After the success of Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley, Hyper Games returns to the world of the Moomins, this time with a winter adventure in which Moomintroll is tasked with calling forth spring while completing side activities that are not always engaging, in another strong adaptation of Tove Jansson’s work.
