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 12 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 4 times.

“Martha is Dead isn't a bad game, it may not even be an average game, but it's another example of wasted potential.”

“Shredders is described by the creators as a love letter from snowboarders for snowboarders and certainly can not be denied, although it also has some unpleasant consequences.”

“Siberia: The World Before is rather the weakest installment of the cycle, but this absolutely does not mean that it is a bad game. It's just that the bar has been set so high that it's hard to jump over. It does not do anything innovative, it shallows the adventure pedigree, but it is played wonderfully. It is still a very good production, which should satisfy primarily fans.”

“After a few evenings spent with Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires, there is no other way to approach this production than to try to erase the stain on the honor of Omega Force after the unsuccessful "nine" from a few years ago.”

“Dotemu can boldly resurrect more brands. It worked with Streets of Rage 4, it also worked with Windjammers 2. Worth playing in Game Pass.”
