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 8 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 5 times.

- 80Sackboy™: A Big AdventureNov 30, 2022 · Bruno Vieira
“With an initially bumpy but now smooth ride, and a stormy launch, Sackboy brings its journey to the PC, offering alternatives for little ones (and big ones) to enjoy, either alone or in company.”

“The Devil in Me closes the first season of Dark Pictures Anthology in a bittersweet way. If on the one hand we have a good setting and the construction of a promising theme at the start, the serious pacing problems and some inconsistencies during the narrative make the experience lose much of its charm.”

“Charon's Staircase presents itself as a mystery experience first, and a horror game later. We get a few good scares along the way, but the real focus is on discovering the secrets that Oak Grove hides and uncovering the past of the mysterious abandoned area.”

“There are many ways to leave a mark on a player, whether it is by a character that captivates you, a breathtaking world, or a story that grabs you until you know what happens at the end. God of War: Ragnarok was patient in its arrival, but delivers in all the ways I have listed, leaving an axe in the middle of the arena for those who try to challenge it.”

“Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief is a very original game, combining Stealth with a scoring system from action games, making it have a faster and more frenetic gameplay. A simple and fun game, that suffers a bit from the simple remastering and some inconsistencies in the mechanics.”

“Although it is a simple game with many flaws, it brings exactly what is needed in a LEGO game, which is the eternal fun of building models with the pieces in order to accomplish the extremely creative puzzles that LEGO Bricktales contains.”

“I was hoping to have an experience I would enjoy remembering on Halloween but after a strong start, The Fridge is Red did everything it could to be lost in my memory, only reviving nostalgia for the PS1 era.”

“A proper interpretation of an excellent story with lots of content and juice for fans of the universe. Leave aside the dramas about performance and return to Gotham for some sleepless nights.”

“It's no coincidence that Uncharted is one of the flagships of Sony's gaming brand. Both adventures found in Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection are as PlayStation as it gets: intense and exciting narratives with well-crafted cinematics and gameplay that, despite not excelling in originality, meets all the requirements to be fun. This inclusion on PC will give more fans the opportunity to get to know this world of treasure hunting, with several graphical options to customize the experience for each one. The only real drawback is the price demanded at launch, lack of other extras, multiplayer mode and some missing accessibility options. I can only say that this Legacy of Thieves is a must-have for anyone who wants (roughly) twenty hours very well spent.”

“Despite the apparent added value of including two games in one package, Fallen Legion: Rise to Glory / Fallen Legion Revenants is neither worth the retail price nor does it carry with it must-have titles to be displayed on anyone's shelf. Both deliver too similar an experience, with Revenants adding pointless and needlessly complex mechanics. Combat, meanwhile, an important figure in any RPG, becomes a bit repetitive and formulaic, requiring in later levels a huge reliance on the block button. Still, for all intents and purposes, Fallen Legion has good ideas, it's just a shame about its execution.”

“Draw Distance took everything that made Serial Cleaner good and raised the bar. Not only did they bring a title with personality and an addictive gameplay loop, but they established them new possibilities for branching out the story. We can only hope for more!”
read full review ↗ - 80The Legend of Heroes: Trails from ZeroOct 4, 2022 · Ulisses Domingues
“All in all, The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero is a JRPG good enough to be enjoyed on its own, but whose narrative and storyline take on added weight when there is the context of the Sky and Cold Steel saga behind it. Still, the narrative's focus on a small scale allows it to sell a very personal and intriguing world, with the more 'retro' soundtrack, gameplay and graphics helping the euphony. It is genuinely sad that there are two visually different versions between PS4, Switch and PC, however this is an adventure worth experiencing for fans of the genre regardless of platform of choice.”

“Lost Epic is without a doubt a well-designed metroidvania, with solid level design, a good pace, and fun gameplay. It may stumble a bit in its final moments, but it is a game that definitely serves as an example that sometimes focused design prevails.”

“Little Orpheus brings us the adventure of Ivan Ivanovich, a character we know little or nothing about, but we want so much to understand how he got where he is. With simple gameplay and an interesting narrative, it is undoubtedly a title for new players and lovers of the genre.”

“A game clearly made by skaters for skaters. With a high learning curve, Session brings the ultimate simulation of the sport, leaving your mouth watering for what the crea-ture will bring next.”
