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.

Outlet vs. players
Each dot is a game both this outlet and players scored. The dashed line is perfect agreement: dots above it mean the outlet was more generous than players, below it more harsh.

“Bloons TD 6 is a very classic tower defense with a delirious aesthetic, not sure if it's a premium or freemium game, unfortunately. There is a lot of content here, a lot of elements to unlock, almost too much... the game will become boring despite all its qualities.”

“Scalak is simple to access, easy to understand and take in hand, but still offers some serious challenges. A puzzle-game where you have to recreate beautifully realized figures with a sober facade and a game intelligence that is totally effective.”
