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

- 90MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting SoulsAug 11, 2026
“Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is an excellent tag fighter that strikes a fantastic balance between accessibility and depth. Its 4v4 system is surprisingly approachable thanks to its emphasis on assists, while a diverse roster, excellent tutorials and plenty of unlockable rewards provide plenty of incentive to keep playing. Add in gorgeous comic-book visuals, a superb soundtrack and smooth online performance, and Arc System Works has delivered one of the strongest Marvel fighting games to date.”

“No More Room in Hell 2's 1.0 update is a solid representation of what happens when a developer commits to delivering something special for that 'graduation' point in an early-access lifecycle. It truly embodies everything meant by the word 'upgrade'.”

“Beast of Reincarnation represents a solid and sumptuous post-apocalyptic romp, but it has too many imperfections that need to be addressed with post-launch updates for it to reach the level it could (or should). ”

“Not since Astro Bot in 2024 have I played a game that has made so much of an impression on me, and the hours I've put into completing Big Walk with a friend have not only provided endless entertainment, but also further solidified that friendship, even if, at times, my co-op partner was left incredibly frustrated by my brainless moments or when I decided to punt a key item off a cliff, purely because I could.”

“Halo: Campaign Evolved is a must-play game for newcomers to Halo, and it's a great-sounding, amazing-looking first-person shooter with a highly enjoyable story. ”

“Mina the Hollower undoubtedly sets a new standard for what it means to be an independent game. With tributes to legendary franchises like Zelda and Castlevania and quality that Yacht Club games have honed for more than a decade, players will get much more bang for their buck with this title.”

“Forza Horizon 6's Banksy-level vistas of Japan are breathtaking, and the improvements to the progression system have placed the title at the pinnacle of the racing genre once again.”

“Beethoven & Dinosaur's Mixtape is a deeply nostalgic, coming-of-age masterpiece that beautifully captures the emotional weight of three friends facing their last day of high school. Through its inventive gameplay, stop-motion-inspired visuals, and stellar soundtrack, it delivers a profound and unforgettable experience about growing up and the bittersweet nature of goodbyes.”

“WILL: Follow the Light starts slow but ultimately represents an emotional, cathartic journey thick with sensitive themes, including grief and estrangement. It's not long, but the weight of the heartbreaking story is worth every penny.”

“Saros serves as an excellent spiritual successor to Returnal, delivering an intriguing cosmic horror journey combined with an addictive roguelite loop.”

“Super Meat Boy 3D is equally addicting and infuriating, resulting in me swearing like a sailor but unable to tear myself away as I watched Super Meat Boy sliced, diced, and suffer repeated deaths as I worked tirelessly to finally overcome each level, but the sensory overload it brings with it can be too much at times.”

“Crimson Desert is a game of extremes. At its best, it offers a breathtaking world filled with meaningful exploration, impressive scale, and genuinely thrilling battles. However, that brilliance is occasionally weighed down by an overabundance of unfocused systems, a weak narrative, and combat that struggles to maintain consistency.”

“The Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake is an excellent example of how to remake a beloved classic. It keeps what made the 2003 original special, whilst adding to it in meaningful ways, even if the source content can heavily weigh it down at times.”

“Sixteen years after the original game, Scott Pilgrim EX builds upon what made the first one so great. From challenging and unique boss fights to a fun story that fits the Scott Pilgrim universe, this is a game that's not only a love letter to the source material but also does a great job of standing out on its own.”
