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 126 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 66 times.

- 70Long Gone DaysAug 27, 2026 · Christos Chatzisavvas
“"Long Gone Days" will stay in players' minds more for what it says than for what they did while playing. It is a dark and human game, crafted with care and love, that manages to address the topic of war without resorting to easy one-liners or obvious messages.”

“Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy may not be the next big step that A Plague Tale: Requiem was. It is, however, a beautiful, emotional, and particularly endearing side story.”

“Without claiming to be particularly original or meticulously crafted, The Sinking City 2 is an entertaining survival horror shooter.”

“Mistfall Hunter is unlikely to retain the audience it needs to stay in the spotlight for years to come, but in any case, it’s a commendable first effort for a new studio.”

“All the conveniences of 2026 seem to “water down” the original experience, whether it has to do with the hit markers or the continuous waypoint that destroys the sense of exploration. The visuals are a feast for the eyes, and this is undoubtedly the best-looking Halo we’ve ever seen.”

“"To The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu" is, overall, one of the most noteworthy titles based on the Cthulhu Mythos.”

“Bandai took its time, built upon an already successful title, and, with *Digimon Story: Time Stranger NSW2*, delivered an exceptionally polished and solid experience.”

“Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced isn't the kind of remake that will change the way we view remakes. However, it is perhaps the best example of how you can bring a beloved title into the modern era without altering its identity.”

“Dead or Alive 6: Last Round doesn't redefine the series or fix all the issues it's had since its launch. However, it offers a clearly more complete experience, better graphics, and more content.”

“The truth is, however, that most of the flaws or shortcomings that usually go hand in hand with the productions of the era that *Hollowbody* is trying to emulate can easily be overlooked if the content is of high quality, and fortunately, that is the case here.”

“Instead of pretending the past never happened and opting for a “quiet” reboot, Bubsy 4D fully embraces the series’ historical missteps with plenty of humor, evident from the title all the way to the very last line of dialogue or menu option.”

“NBA The Run is a clear attempt to return to the spirit of NBA Street, with an affordable price and plenty of passion from the development team.”

“LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is exactly what a fan of LEGO games would expect, without redefining the series, despite Rocksteady’s contribution and the clever additions to its combat system.”
