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 10 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 1 time.

- 100METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol.2Aug 25, 2026
“Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 perfectly achieves its goal: bringing Guns of the Patriots and Peace Walker — formerly exclusive to Sony consoles — to modern platforms. The inclusion of Portuguese subtitles and a price point that aligns with the volume of content offered represent major wins for Konami with the Brazilian audience. ”

“Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls truly stands out thanks to its graphical quality and roster of playable fighters, making it one of the most interesting current projects featuring the comic book publisher's heroes and villains. The decision to feature four-on-four battles is bold, yet executed well enough to avoid overwhelming players while still offering options for beginners.”

“Mortal Shell 2 is not only one of the best soulslikes ever released, but it also has the potential to spark small revolutions within the genre. The "shell" mechanic — which allows you to experiment with distinct classes throughout the game — is not only fun but also crucial for devising strategies during the campaign. The same applies to the associated abilities and subtle tweaks to traditional combat, such as the absence of a stamina bar.”

“Beast of Reincarnation had all the makings of a surprise hit for 2026, but it stumbles over its own feet by trying to be bigger than it should be. The game aims for a scale it cannot handle; consequently, while it offers fun gameplay and an interesting plot, it constantly disappoints with unsatisfactory performance and graphics that take an unwelcome trip back to the previous generation.”

“Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game is a beautiful, fun, and surprisingly competent fighting game for a project based on such a popular franchise. Its combat system manages to establish a unique identity, while the roster—though small—offers highly varied playstyles and a content package that exceeds expectations for a debut title.”

“For fans of the franchise who have been wanting a single-player experience, I’m sure this spin-off is an excellent choice. It’s also a great opportunity for those who have never played Splatoon but would like to try a title from the series—or simply want something other than online matches. If you only enjoy the multiplayer mode found in the main games, you might want to make sure the cooperative mode suits your preferences.”

“Denshattack is a brilliantly executed, wild concept that stands out as one of the most fun and stylish games of 2026. It delivers gameplay brimming with originality, introducing varied and increasingly engaging mechanics from the start of the campaign to the very end. It is all wrapped in a package featuring a charming cast of characters, stunning visuals, and a flawless soundtrack starring names like Tee Lopes and Takenobu Mitsuyoshi.”

“Despite its flaws, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu delivers a fun experience with friends, bolstered by an excellent atmosphere and a madness system that truly manages to create unique stories in every playthrough.”

“For those who are already fans of the original or have always wanted to experience Edward Kenway's journey, I think it is well worth it. Even though it isn't perfect, in my opinion, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resyned reminds us just how good the franchise can be and remains one of the series' all-time highlights.”

“Even seven years after its original release, Devil May Cry 5 remains one of the best action games currently available. Its combat feels incredibly modern, the campaign remains fun, and the huge variety of characters ensures excellent replayability. Despite some limitations on the Switch 2, the Devil Hunter Edition also does justice to the game's legacy.”

“Rhythm Heaven proves that plastic guitars and complex controls aren't needed to excel in its niche: all it takes is dancing to your own rhythm —preferably in a clumsy way— to see the magic happen.”

“Given the reduced price, the nostalgia factor, and the curiosity of those who only just discovered Fox McCloud via the Super Mario Galaxy movie, the new Star Fox should be a hit, though I feel it doesn't quite reach its full potential. I believe that long-time fans of the franchise — those looking to relive Star Fox 64 with the best presentation the series has ever seen — will really enjoy this version.”

“EA Sports UFC 6 continues to be a game designed to please MMA fans, more specifically those of the UFC universe. The game hits the mark by replicating the atmosphere of the event, both in the scenarios and characterization of the company's main stars, and by bringing new modes that also seek to imitate the daily lives of professional fighters.”

“Featuring time travel, a narrative structure influenced by Mana, and the combat and exploration characteristic of Zelda, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales demonstrates that the HD-2D style still has a lot of life left in it, including in other genres, and that it has matured significantly in recent games. After years of refining the formula in smaller-scale games, Square Enix seems to have finally found a Zelda to call its own.”

“Invincible VS demonstrates the repertoire to rival established franchises in the genre and, to the delight of many, brings tag fighters back into the spotlight. Brutal and with a mesmerizing visual composition, hallmarks of the work it adapts, it delivers impeccable three-on-three gameplay that only improves as the player assimilates the character switching systems.”
