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

- 80Onimusha: Way of the SwordAug 31, 2026
“Onimusha: Way of the Sword is an excellent revival of Capcom's samurai series. It's a bit more gritty and nitty but it retains the cheesy humour, too. And while combat is exceptional, not everything clicks in place so seamlessly. ”

“The Blood of the Dawnwalker is an impressive debut from Rebel Wolves, with challenging combat and choices that shape the story around you. It breathes life back into a tired genre of vampire action RPGs, using time as a resource and allowing the player to shape the world around them. Despite relatively benign issues that can easily be rectified, it is certainly one to watch within the world of RPGs. ”

“Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy upended any expectations I had going in. By focusing on Sophia for this brilliant third outing, I'm impressed by how thoughtfully the lore of this world continues to evolve. How wrong I was, as Sophia is not only a skilled fighter but a strong woman who's clearly been through things and come out the other side all the better. While there is less focus on the titular Plague Tale, the world Asobo created grows without it feeling shoehorned into the larger ethos.”

“The best thing that Blood Dungeon has to offer is its unique take on the survivor-like gameplay. Bringing the experience to a 2D platformer with insane visuals and characters you’ll just chuckle and shake your head at is awesome. There is still a lot of been-there-done-that here, but the minute-to-minute gameplay is still a whole lot of fun.”

“Steins;Gate Re:Boot is its own unique spin on the original game, and it doesn't do anything directly wrong to change the previous attempts, making this remake stuck in a sort of limbo.”

“The Sinking City 2 takes another successful dive into the survival horror genre, with challenging puzzles, an engaging and heartbreaking story, and wildly fun gunplay. I just wish it were longer and a bit more replayable.”

“Mortal Shell 2 is a vision of what every developer hopes for in their second game: A more well-rounded experience without reinventing the wheel. And that's exactly what's on offer here. This is still a shell of the first game, but it's filled with so much more, making for a worthy second go at it.”

“Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is the optimal fighting game for newcomers. It’s not only visually pleasing, but it’s also filled with impressive systems that come together to create an experience that’ll keep you coming back. Each round is unique, and each fighter has a lot of potential as a main. Arc System Works found a way for veterans and newcomers to play together and, more importantly, to play to their strengths, whether through intricate combos or simple button inputs.”

“The Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass kicks off with a fun and sizeable area you can explore as the Bubbly Basin heads underwater. It’s got some great new Pokémon to find, a great new area, alongside new recipes and materials to use. You’ll be doing the same things you did before, but it’s so much fun to build, discover, and create. I quickly found a groove that carried me for another 15 hours.”

“Duskfade starts off on the wrong foot but picks up steam quickly enough to recover and stick the landing.”
