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 1 time.

- 80STAR WARS™: Episode I: Jedi Power Battles™Jan 29, 2025 · Tyler Roberts
“Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is a 25 year old game that made a surprised return in 2025. It's driven by nostalgia but the old school graphics, issues, and even updated features keep a fun game that Star Wars fans will appreciate.”

“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind will take you back to the glory days of '90s arcade beat 'em up titles with an original story fans will enjoy. But it does lack in offering a unique experience.”

“Indiana Jones and the Great Circle does an amazing job of bringing players back into the film franchise with a fun adventure. But it also feels like this could have been much more than just an interactive movie.”

“Tetris Forever does everything it can to educate fans about the series while also providing a vast library of titles to try. While amazing to play and explore, there are some obvious missing pieces that didn't drop into this puzzler collection.”

“WWE 2K24 has learned from previous mistakes and improved in many areas that people gave the series grief over in the last release. It isn't perfect and needs some fine tuning in a few areas, but its a major step up from where they were.”

“AEW: Fight Forever is the wrestling video game we wanted for over 20 years and no one wanted to make until now. Everything about it screams N64 nostalgia, but is modern enough and easy enough to learn that anyone can grasp it. Also, hey! Brand new wrestling company to play with, so all new faces to have dream matches with, along with your own creations!”

“It's no longer about surviving on your own; it's now time to make a stand against a greater enemy, as Ubisoft has taken the franchise in a new direction with The Settlers: New Allies. One that may very well breathe new life into it for years to come.”
