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 0 times.

“Overall, Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition is a very solid port. Capcom once again proves that it knows how to bring its games to the Nintendo Switch 2 without sacrificing what matters most.

“and Roger is one of those games that’s hard to recommend… but only because it’s impossible to talk about it without breaking part of the experience. It’s short, yes. It’s simple in terms of gameplay, too. But what it does with those tools is truly special. If you’re looking for something different, a narrative experience that makes you feel something and doesn’t overstay its welcome, here you have one of those small gems that appears quietly. It’s especially emotional if what it tells resonates with you or somehow represents or identifies with your own experience.”

Its artistic style is exquisite and unique, and its challenge lies not so much in completing the levels, but in being able to uncover all the secrets they hide.”
