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 25 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 14 times.

“STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT recreates one of the greatest visual novels in an enhanced experience that still preserves the original's defining elements.”

“Agent 64: Spies Never Die not only recreates the experience of playing GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark on the N64, but it is a reminder of why they are among the best games of all time.”

“FZ: Formation Z attempts to recreate a classic arcade experience with modern hardware and improved gameplay. It succeeded at creating a stellar mecha experience that is rich in replay value and ideal for Macross fans. However, its shortcomings hold it back from being an overall solid game, and it did not need to be this way. If a player is willing to forgive these issues, they will overall have a good time.”

“City Hunter is a solid remaster of a retro game that was never particularly unique back in its day. It does everything right, offering updated controls and cleaning the soundtrack alongside adding bonus content. Its shortcomings are the result of the game itself being not that impressive and a product of its time.”

“Resident Evil Requiem fully embraces the series’ horror roots while recreating the experiences that made the series beloved. At its core, it reimagines what it felt like to face the Spencer Mansion’s horrors in the first game. The difference is that it has more than 30 years of history to draw from, along with the return of a beloved hero. The result is one of the best original entries in the series and one of this generation’s best horror games that is not a remake.”

“There are games that are over the top outrages and then there are games that are balls to the wall outrageous. Romeo Is a Dead Man firmly falls into the latter and I love it for that.”

“I Hate This Place is one of those games that draws from strong source material and has a solid concept but fumbles its gameplay mechanics. The story is engaging, and I genuinely enjoyed playing as Elena in this comic book inspired world. Unfortunately, broken gameplay mechanics make it a frustrating experience.”
