How this trust score was computed

This reviewer publishes verdicts, not numbers, so trust comes from their recommend/pan calls: call accuracy (50%): when they say buy, do players end up satisfied, and when they say skip, do players agree; alignment (25%): do their recommendations sort games the way players do; and player-side (25%): on games where press and players sharply disagreed, whose side were they on. The blend is shrunk toward a neutral prior (60) so small histories can't peg the scale, and recent verdicts weigh more (2-year half-life).

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.

    The core elements of Indivisible, like the story and the action, are interesting, but an overall lack of polish holds it back.

    Neo CabOct 2, 2019 · Victoria Rose

    Taking place mostly in your rideshare car, Neo Cab offers a fascinating premise through a small and memorable cast of city dwellers. It's not politically shy, and it has fascinating worldbuilding down to the mundane.

    Creature in the WellSep 5, 2019 · Suriel Vazquez

    Creature in the Well has a promising premise, but fails to build it into something as challenging (and rewarding) as it ought to be.
