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.

- 65Splatoon RaidersJul 21, 2026
“Splatoon Raiders is a game for everyone to have fun with, mainly thanks to the delightfully fluent gameplay and large number of options. Unfortunately, all that freedom doesn't make for a mechanically interesting game.”

“Black Flag Resynced proves that Ubisoft still understands why this became one of the most popular Assassin's Creed games ever. The revamped gameplay and stunning Caribbean setting make getting lost in the open world a joy once again. The new additions are a fun but superficial complement, and rarely manage to evoke the same feeling and quality that made Black Flag so strong thirteen years ago. Ultimately, this remake is above all a tribute to a world that has stood the test of time remarkably well.”

“007 First Light reintroduces James Bond with a rock-solid experience: stylish, confident, and endlessly exciting all the way through the credits. At its best, it's the ultimate Bond experience, complete with cool gadgets and bombastic action. At its weaker moments, it calls to mind the highly competent Bond shooters that EA delivered. IO Interactive is sitting on a goldmine that, with the right refinement, could grow into a fantastic 007 game series. I therefore hope they get that chance from the license holders. ”

“Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a creative journey of discovery, where interacting with the world and countless creatures matters more than reaching the end of a level. Despite the road being a little bumpy here and there, Yoshi at its best is an unforgettable adventure.”

“Lego Batman: The Legacy of the Dark Knight remains a Lego game, with all the usual strengths and weaknesses that come with that, but this also makes it highly accessible to everyone. The game especially shines in the sheer amount of love for the character that Traveller's Tales has poured into it, both through the all‑encompassing story and the Arkham‑style combat.”

“Tomodachi Life - Living the Dream is an incredibly enjoyable cozy game that celebrates friendship in a humorous way. The depth of the customisation is quite overwhelming and may feel inaccessible to some players, but the sheer amount of options makes the game an experience that has something to offer for everyone.”

“Housemarque pulls it off again. Saros is a remarkably gripping roguelite that preserves the best elements of Returnal while improving on its weaker points. The combat is chaotic, but you never lose control and are less at the mercy of luck. A compelling mystery also unfolds along the way. Only the characters… well, who were they again?”

“Forza Horizon 6 is one of the few truly original games published by Microsoft. At face-value only the Japan-based region is really new, while other elements could actually benefit from a renovation. All things considered, there are enough reasons to go for a drive again.”

“Pokémon Pokopia is a very cozy game that lets players build a better world. The game isn’t literally endless, but sometimes it feels that way.”

“The Resident Evil series has undergone quite a few stylistic changes: from survival horror to campy action and back again. In Resident Evil Requiem, all those flavors are combined into one dish, which doesn’t always blend perfectly — but it’s a lot of fun, at least if you enjoy all of them.”
read full review ↗ - 78REANIMALFeb 11, 2026
“The vision behind Reanimal is clear: no complicated puzzles or storylines, but a streamlined, atmospheric fever dream with detailed visuals (and monsters) that linger in your mind for a long time. Tarsier Studios could have padded the game with more environments or more simplistic puzzles, but that might only have detracted from the experience. As a result, Reanimal is somewhat on the simple and short side, but it continues to haunt your thoughts long after you’ve finished playing.”

“Mario Tennis Fever bursts with content. The many characters, courts, and rackets add unique, deeper layers to the gameplay, and multiplayer matches are played with big smiles and heaps of fun. It’s a shame for slightly more mature players that the next layer of depth is just not quite reached. For that, the single-player offering isn’t robust enough, the opponents aren’t challenging enough, and there’s a lack of finesse here and there. But keep it up, Nintendo—because Mario Tennis Fever is moving in the direction of those timeless Camelot classics we so dearly long for.”
