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 21 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 5 times.

- 75CAPTAIN TSUBASA 2: WORLD FIGHTERSAug 28, 2026
“Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters makes excellent use of the series' 40-year lore, features impressive animations, and introduces meaningful improvements that add more strategic depth compared to the first game. At the same time, however, it squanders a great opportunity by failing to address many of its predecessor's core issues. Even so, it's a game every Captain Tsubasa fan deserves to finish at least once.”

“While it’s not bad as a remake, it has a short runtime and lack of enough content to modernize the original design hold it back.”

“Denshattack is here to add joy to summer evenings. Starting with a simple premise "You're a train, but you can also act like a skateboard", its mechanics progress and its fast-paced gameplay make it a fully-fledged entertainment package. ”

“An imperfect gem that shouldn't be allowed to fade into obscurity because of the drama between the studio's owners and the developers who walked away.”

“Its unforgiving difficulty in the opening hours and lack of the convenience features modern players have grown accustomed to may make Gothic 1 Remake a tough sell for those who prefer a more relaxed experience. But there's no question that this remake is the definitive way to experience this cult classic. The sense of accomplishment it delivers is something few games can match, and that's simply a fact.”

“I know eFootball Kick-Off! won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. But for football addicts like me, who’ve been desperately missing the classic PES/Winning Eleven days, its gameplay and even the legends featured in World Tour mode are enough to spark a little hope that the magic might still be there somewhere.”

“Despite its visuals that look like works of art, Replaced seems to have forgotten how to be a game. We can add it to the graveyard of wasted potential too.”

“Housemarque’s new hit Saros will keep you on the edge of your seat, and the moment you take down a boss, you’ll find yourself doing a victory lap around the room. If you play games for excitement and adrenaline, there’s nothing better than Saros right now.”

“It has a structure that takes you back to the classic XCOM days, and they've tried to offer an experience as close to its source of inspiration as possible. However, Xenonauts 2 is a game that hasn't fully realized its potential due to some fundamental issues that are still unresolved. Nevertheless, it's worth noting that it's one of the games that fans of the genre should check out.”

“Unable to decide what it wants to be and trying to cram everything together, Crimson Desert may not be a game that appeals to everyone, but it’s an adventure absolutely worth trying. Its story isn’t deep, but it offers a world where you can fully indulge your desire to explore different places across its massive map.”

“Lost and Found Co may not be a game that tries to reinvent its genre or come up with ideas we’ve never seen before, but by presenting all its features in a package that doesn’t tire or bore the player and is extremely pleasing to the eye, it sends the message: 'Whatever you’re looking for, I’ve got it.' It’s one of the best in its genre.”

“It's addictive and has a calming effect. Do not play while operating heavy machinery! I couldn't praise this game as much as it deserves - may Arceus forgive me.”

“A game that will feel like a remedy for those craving Disco Elysium. Those who can’t find an FRP group but still want to dive into a tabletop-style adventure can also pull up a chair and join in without hesitation. With a bit more production backing, it could have been a true contender for the top of its genre.”
read full review ↗ - 85FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKEMar 26, 2026
“Fatal Frame II Remake still holds a very special place among horror games because it doesn’t make you feel powerful, it makes you feel uneasy, and it does that exceptionally well. The combat system is creative, the atmosphere is outstanding, and the sound design is disturbingly effective. But yes, some of its mechanical stiffness and slow pacing aren’t something everyone will have the patience for. In other words, this game tells you: “You have no weapons. No comfort. Barely any escape. Take this camera and go deal with the spirits yourself!” And the strange thing is: this idea still works incredibly well.”

“A Requiem is not a final, but a threshold. And as it crosses that threshold scented with nostalgia, it renews confidence and hope through the path it opens for the series' future. If only they hadn't forgotten the puzzles.”
