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 2 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 0 times.

- 90Onimusha: Way of the SwordAug 31, 2026
“Onimusha: Way of the Sword marks a successful return for a series that had been absent for far too long. The combat system—precise and heavily reliant on timing—is undoubtedly the highlight of this new entry in the Capcom franchise, while the atmosphere of a Kyoto overrun by the Genma miasma creates truly evocative moments. Although some limitations regarding side activities and a degree of repetition prevent the adventure from achieving true excellence, Musashi and his journey amidst samurai and demons still manage to leave a lasting impression. It is a compact, spectacular experience that remains, above all, faithful to the spirit of the Onimusha franchise. ”

“The Blood of Dawnwalker is both what was expected and what was feared: an RPG anchored in familiar structural mechanics that attempts to break new ground with a couple of fresh design ideas. The signature style of Rebel Wolves—a team largely hailing from CD Projekt Red—is most evident in the writing; the world-building, lore, and plot are compelling and satisfying, keeping players glued to their controllers for hours. Centered on Coen, the game features a "sandbox" spirit and a 30-day mechanic—two gambles that pay off in terms of replayability and a sense of consequence, even if the promised freedom is only partially realized. The result is an enjoyable debut that is magnetic at times, yet suffers from the flaws typical of a first outing. ”

“ This new chapter chronicling the exploits of Tsubasa and his teammates arrives on the market as a title fully aware of its strengths and arcade roots. The addition of a massive amount of content—combined with an excellent editor and gameplay mechanics that have been smoothed out to eliminate their most glaring rough edges—makes this a must-play for fans of the original manga and anyone looking for a fun sports game that makes no attempt at simulation. Some flaws remain: the underlying repetitiveness of the match structure—driven by consistently identical, high-intensity attacking and defensive rhythms—can feel a bit monotonous; nevertheless, the overall package is decidedly solid and lighthearted.”

“Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is a striking and unsettling title that intelligently steers the franchise toward ambitious new horizons. Enjoyable for both *A Plague Tale* veterans and newcomers alike, it offers a fast-paced journey featuring puzzles, evocative exploration, and a narrative that intertwines the Macula with the myth of the Minotaur—all while incorporating a combat system that is basic yet aggressive and fun. It is a dark game brimming with ideas that is unlikely to disappoint. ”

“Tukoni: Forest Keepers is one of those heartwarming cozy games, not only because of the various herbal teas we’ll find ourselves sipping with friends, but also because of the positive vibes that this world and its inhabitants manage to convey. Let’s pause for a moment and let ourselves be carried away like the leaves in a warm and welcoming forest.”

“ MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls is a triumph across the board, at least for the PS5 version. Arc System Works has managed to craft a truly excellent fighting game, combining monumental art direction with impeccable fluidity. The introduction of the shared health bar and dual control scheme make the learning curve accessible to anyone, without compromising the extraordinary technical depth required for high-level matches, which is essential for a title that relies almost entirely on multiplayer. A great title for all fighting game fans and fans of the Marvel Universe.”

“Echoes of Mystralia is a delightful discovery in the indie gaming landscape. There are plenty of quality roguelites on the market, each with its own unique traits; the Borealys Games title stands out thanks to its spell-crafting system, which makes gameplay fun and—above all—capable of sparking players’ imaginations. The inspiration drawn from *Hades* is unmistakable and evident in various aspects of the game, ranging from exploration and combat to character design. At the time of writing, Echoes of Mystralia is still in development; however, it possesses all the foundations to become a cult hit within the “Hades-like” genre, which is why we are happy to support Borealys Games’ work with a decidedly positive verdict.”

“A bold first spin-off that hits the mark, paint in hand. Although held back by a forgettable storyline and repetitive environments, Splatoon Raiders compensates with a solid, addictive, and surprisingly deep PvE infrastructure. A title that trades narrative plot twists for hours of tactical challenges, captivating and thoroughly inking anyone who decides to give it a chance.”

“ The new Endless Ragnarok expansion, as its name suggests, brings a massive amount of new content to Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Cygames’ colorful action RPG originally released in early 2024. The update introduces new abilities, higher difficulty levels, additional characters to unlock, and even a brand-new roguelike mode, significantly expanding the game’s longevity. While its story, built around many familiar genre clichés, may not leave a lasting impression, the real highlight is its refined combat system. Deep, fast-paced, and spectacular, it draws inspiration from the very best action JRPGs, delivering dozens of hours of engaging gameplay whether you’re playing solo or with friends.”

“Denshattack! is one of the most original games we’ve had the chance to try lately. Who would ever think to blend the world of Japanese trains with skateboarding and the vibrant colors of Jet Set Radio? This crazy and incredibly successful idea comes from the Catalan studio Undercoders, which has delivered a game that captivates us with its challenges and its eccentricity. But be warned! Mastering Denshattack isn’t for novice train drivers, and you’ll need a lot of dedication to impress your friends with the craziest tricks. Now it’s up to you: ready to go?”

“ DOOM: The Dark Ages – Rivelazioni is an exceptional expansion that enhances and transforms an already rock-solid combat system. The Chain Spear stands out as one of the modern series’ most successful additions. The return of the dash, increased verticality, and the ability to switch between spear and shield bring the gameplay closer to the mobility of DOOM Eternal without sacrificing the weighty feel of The Dark Ages. While the story remains predictable and the controls require an adjustment period, these are minor flaws when weighed against the quality and volume of content on offer. At a time marked by uncertainty regarding id Software’s future, Rivelazioni once again demonstrates the studio’s technical and creative prowess. It represents a near-perfect blend of the brutality found in The Dark Ages and the speed of DOOM Eternal.”

“Black Flag Resynced is a restoration born of a genuine love for its subject matter, and this is both its greatest strength and its most obvious limitation. On a technical and artistic level, it is a joy—the sea, the light, and the Caribbean once again cast their spell, perhaps even more potently than before—and the wealth of new content proves there was no shortage of daring talent. It is a shame, then, that this boldness didn't extend to the game's very foundations, leaving behind combat that feels (perhaps) too tame and a storyline that time has inevitably faded. Nevertheless, it remains a fantastic way to hoist the sails again—or to do so for the first time, if you missed out on Edward’s Caribbean back in the day.”

“After more than a decade of silence, Rhythm Paradise Groove is not just a highly nostalgia trip, but it immediately establishes itself as an absolute must-have for the genre. The formula proves to be a true fun machine, capable of combining visual humor with surgical rhythmic precision, all elevated by the tracks composed by Tsunku. Despite a Beatspell mode that could have dared a bit more in terms of depth, and a few less intuitive minigames, the overall package is magnetic and, most importantly, perfectly keeps time with the music, providing total fun for the player.”

“Star Fox is a great remake of a classic Nintendo 64 title, though, having reached the end of this adventure, a question naturally arises: was a third remake of Lylat Wars really necessary? We’re sure Nintendo did its homework, banking on an already excellent title that could capture the attention of new players after Fox McCloud and his team were away from the screen for so long; at the same time, we hoped that Nintendo would expand the narrative of a title that made its mark almost 30 years ago. A good effort, a solid remake with a fun and successful online experience and its limitations, but we’re sure it could have done more to truly stand out.”
read full review ↗ - 73BellwrightJun 28, 2026
“ At first glance, Bellwright might seem like the usual blend of RPG, survival, and sandbox elements already seen in dozens of other indie productions. However, its strong management component helps it avoid the dangerous “more of the same” label, turning it into a deep and enjoyable experience. Bellwright is a rough gem: a sandbox in the truest sense of the word, but also a great role-playing game that genre fans will surely appreciate. Unfortunately, the console port currently holds the experience back, partly due to an interface that is difficult to navigate with a controller and a lack of proper optimization. At the time of this review’s publication, the game is still in Early Access, meaning Donkey Crew still has plenty of time to address these issues and refine the weaker aspects ahead of the full release.”
