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.

    DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACHJun 23, 2025 · Nicolo Manaloto

    Death Stranding 2: On the Beach features more engaging delivery mechanics, a more varied environment, and more straightforward combat. On top of all these, the game features a memorable and emotional story, making this a must-play for fans of the first game.

    GUNDAM BREAKER 4Aug 27, 2024 · Nicolo Manaloto

    There’s a lot to love about Gundam Breaker 4 as it returns to the roots of the franchise in successful fashion. This game provides lots of engaging combat encounters thanks to its tried-and-tested mechanics that it borrows from Gundam Breaker 3, albeit with new additions. Perhaps the best thing about it is the customization system which offers an addictive experience for Gundam fans and Gunpla collectors. It’s also great that the in-depth customization is great not only for combat but also for the Diorama and Photo modes which are cool additions. Plus, even more casual Gundam fans can have fun here as the story mode is quite engaging. Sure, the combat could be smoother, and the missions can feel a bit samey, but these are minor issues overall. As such, Gundam Breaker 4 is a great return to form for the series that Gunpla builders will definitely love.

    Star Wars OutlawsAug 26, 2024 · Renzo Guevara

    Star Wars Outlaws is a fresh new take on not only a Star Wars story but the Ubisoft open world formula as well. The galaxy's criminal underworld is brought to life with stunning visuals and highly engaging gameplay mechanics that had me lost in this world for hours on end.

    In many ways, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Chronicles is a fun game as its combo-focused 2D sidescrolling combat is fun, and it’s supplemented by a nice city-building mechanic that makes for a compelling gameplay loop. This game is far from perfect though as the core loop can instead feel dull for some players. Some issues with the fairly simplistic combat and city-building mechanic also get in the way of the experience. Still, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Chronicles can be an engaging experience, though it’s one that we can only really recommend to existing Slime Isekai fans. For those who aren’t fans of the franchise yet, it would be better to give the anime a watch before trying this game out.

    Nobody Wants to DieJul 26, 2024 · Renzo Guevara

    Where Nobody Wants to Die succeeds in presentation and sound, it fails in narrative strength and player engagement. It's a great looking movie, but a less than stellar plot to hold it all together.

    Demon Slayer: Sweep the Board adds some twists to the party board game formula, though its main mechanics could've been made more engaging by making them more competitive. Its mini-games could also be better as they're fairly easy. Still, the game should offer a good time for Demon Slayer fans, especially for in-person get-togethers.

    Baten Kaitos I & II HD RemasterJun 23, 2024 · Renzo Guevara

    The blend of nostalgic charm and modern enhancements makes Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster a standout title that showcases the enduring appeal of the classic GameCube titles. Whether you’re revisiting the skies or soaring through them for the first time, this remaster is an adventure worth going on. The journey is as magical as it was years ago, and the improvements make it even more enjoyable today.

    Shin Megami Tensei V: VengeanceJun 14, 2024 · Renzo Guevara

    Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance allows the original SMT 5 to spread its wings a bit more with excellent systematic refinements that brings the former Nintendo Switch exclusive to modern systems. If the improved gameplay and visuals weren't enough, the all-new Canon of Vengeance shakes up the original campaign just enough to provide a refreshing new experience.

    Stellar Blade™Apr 24, 2024 · Renzo Guevara

    Stellar Blade is a gorgeous game that carries a lot of interesting factors in gameplay, narrative, and world building. However, it felt like SHIFT UP wasn't all that confident in truly going all out in terms of a more unique execution to tie it all together. As it stands, it's a perfectly enjoyable game on its own but it definitely could've been a lot more special.

    Horizon Forbidden West™ Complete EditionApr 11, 2024 · Renzo Guevara

    Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition on PC is the definitive way to play the game and its expansion. It was an already impressive title on the PS5 and now, it is elevated into new heights with the best-in-the-industry optimization. Incredible performance, insane visual fidelity, on top of an already phenomenal game to begin with.

    Dragon's Dogma 2Apr 1, 2024 · Renzo Guevara

    Intense, engaging, and unquestionably a title that remains focused on realizing a vision that has been developed since the original, Dragon's Dogma 2 is a crowning achievement when it comes to providing an incredible hardcore RPG experience. This is a game that is not afraid to be different, and it is so much more enticing because of it.

    Rise of the RoninMar 21, 2024 · Renzo Guevara

    Rise of the Ronin is an unfortunate example of what happens when the chase for mainstream appeal goes in the way of creative identity. While it's still a fairly enjoyable action game when it allows itself to be, it's ultimately bogged down by half-baked mechanics that make the world feel emptier than it looks.

    FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTHFeb 22, 2024 · Robert Yatco

    Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth serves as a heartfelt tribute to the enduring legacy of one of gaming's most iconic titles. It's a labor of love that pays homage to the original while boldly venturing into new territory. By reimagining the beloved 1997 classic for modern audiences, Rebirth breathes new life into every corner of its meticulously crafted setting, unforgettable characters, and world-class storytelling. Gone are the limitations of 90s technology, replaced by stunning visuals, engaging gameplay mechanics, and a narrative depth that remains to be emotionally resonant at its very core. Yet, amidst the modern advancements, lies a profound respect for the source material—a recognition of the countless hours fans spent in the original, expanding upon it in ways that were once unimaginable. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is truly the best reward one can get for being such an avid fan of the series and is truly a masterpiece of RPG Gaming.

    Skull and BonesFeb 18, 2024 · Renzo Guevara

    Skull and Bones should've just been a dedicated singleplayer pirate RPG. Instead, it's a live-service product that I don't see surviving past a handful of seasonal updates. Unless a massive tidal wave is coming that gives everything a proper shakeup, it's lost at sea for me with this one.

    Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice LeagueFeb 7, 2024 · Renzo Guevara

    Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League tries to be what Rocksteady is best at, being a fantastic singleplayer that handles its IP characters well, while also being what Rocksteady was never equipped for, an ongoing live game. It fails in more aspects that it succeeds in. The potential is there but none of it is ever fully realized.
