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 33 games where press consensus and players sharply disagreed, this reviewer sided with players 13 times.

- 90Resonance: A Plague Tale LegacyAug 26, 2026 · Raouf Belhamra
“"A New Adventure with a Bold Direction" Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy delivers a bold shift for a series traditionally reliant on stealth, survival, and dark storytelling. The move into Greek mythology and direct combat gives the experience a distinct identity, while Sophia and the dual timeline with Theseus add new dimensions to the story and gameplay. A successful step towards evolving the series rather than repeating it.”

“"Psychological Horror in a Suffocating Environment" Hollowbody delivers a psychological horror experience that relies heavily on atmosphere. It succeeds in creating a visually and aurally oppressive world, with a mysterious narrative that fosters curiosity and exploration.
