How this trust score was computed
This reviewer publishes verdicts, not numbers, so trust comes from their recommend/pan calls: call accuracy (50%): when they say buy, do players end up satisfied, and when they say skip, do players agree; alignment (25%): do their recommendations sort games the way players do; and player-side (25%): on games where press and players sharply disagreed, whose side were they on. The blend is shrunk toward a neutral prior (60) so small histories can't peg the scale, and recent verdicts weigh more (2-year half-life).
Controversy record: on 3 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 0 times.

“Happy Humble Burger Farm is GREAT! What starts off as a spooky cooking simulator, turns into one of the more interesting horror adventure games I've ever played. There is just so much backstory, collectibles, and characters. Although there is a mixing of genres, it somehow all works and is a fully enjoyable experience. Grab the game and get lost in the spooky mystery!”

“Endless hours fly by while I try and appease the Queen with beavers and lizards. Each map offers unique challenges that are brought about by my own selection - A choose your own adventure city builder of sorts. I can't stress how fun that is.”

“Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed really places you in the Ghostbuster world. The entire firehouse is accessible and voice actors from the movie are here that will delight fans for sure. There are lots of Easter Eggs. There are lots of games fighting for your attention these days, Ghostbuster Spirits Unleashed will be fun for Ghostbusters fans, but the game needs some updates and additional content or modes to keep people playing after the fan fun wears off.”

“Lucy Dreaming is a British mystery Whodunit mixed with a lot of humor and also some pretty dark elements. Lucy is an extremely loveable main character who is witty, sharp, and full of one-liners that will keep you smiling. If you enjoy old-school point-and-click adventures full of wit, mystery and mayhem then check out Lucy Dreaming.”

“The Fridge Is Red offers a unique take on survival horror games. With 6 different episodes to work through, there are plenty of puzzles that will confuse and frustrate you, scary and gross visuals, and a soundtrack that will creep you right out. This style and type of game will NOT be for everyone. The puzzles can sometimes be very confusing or obscure. Some others may be frustrated by the retro graphic feel, but it definitely makes you feel like you are playing an old-school Playstation horror game.”

“Whateverland is a wonderful and quirky adventure game that is full of some amazing voice acting, music, and animation. There are tons of funny and enjoyable lines throughout. There are a few spelling mistakes and the game could use a few more save slots, but these are really minor. It really brings you back to old-school adventure games that made this genre so great.”

“There is a lot of in-game content to explore and cute animals to befriend. The game does have several glitches, bugs, and issues as well as combat being really easy. No Place Like Home will not be for everyone, but those who enjoy collecting, cleaning, and farming simulation games will feel right at home.”

“Martha is Dead is truly horrific, perhaps in the fact, it is juxtaposed with being so beautiful. This game will make you feel many things and it does it extremely well. Days after finishing the game I continue to think about it. Several of the mini-games are frustrating and could use some tweaking, some worked. Overall, Martha is Dead is totally worth it for gamers looking for a deep, dark, and psychological thriller to explore.”
read full review ↗ - 90The Good LifeOct 18, 2021 · Amanda Blain
“After you get past the rather slow start, like all massive world RPG's you eventually get into the swing of things. You know how to deal with food, sleep, and sickness. You have a pretty good idea where the characters are and you are freely going out and exploring. This is when the Good Life really picks up. Once you get over that hump and really immersed in The Good Life Universe. It's so much fun! The world is massive with lots of NPCs. The character stories are detailed and interesting. Naomi starts evolving as a character. Unfortunately as can be seen by many game reviews, I imagine most game reviewers (and many players) do not get to this point.”

“This bug-filled game transforms you into a bug set right in a Frank Kafka novel. It's creepy-crawly, surreal adventure game fun. The visual, voice acting, and music put you in a magical insect world you will enjoy from start to finish.”
read full review ↗ - 90The MediumMay 12, 2021 · Amanda Blain
“The story is very compelling and it draws you in. As you progress there is more and more horror revealed about what exactly went on at the Niwa hotel. Marianne is an interesting protagonist and you want to figure out what is going on with her. The puzzles had just the right amount of complexity, using a uniquely dark world/ light world thinking style to solve many of them. It was different and refreshing. I enjoyed every minute of The Medium.”

“True Lovecraft Horror. For Fans and those New to the Genre. I appreciated a different type of horror game that plays into classic Lovecraft Horror and forgoes the all too common jump scares we have in so many games today. If you are looking for a different kind of story that walks you down the path of the ancient ones and a descent to madness, check Call of Cthulhu game out.”
