Reviews: Thorough Tests, Fair Scores

Helping readers decide what’s actually worth their money has always been a core part of games journalism—and that’s why we take our reviews seriously. Not by writing like a spreadsheet with a pulse, because the games we cover aren’t stock-trading apps. We take them seriously by testing them thoroughly, critically, and with years of playing and making games behind us.

We pay attention to the details, weigh strengths and weaknesses fairly, and put the tech side under the microscope with professional tools. So you can be sure of one thing: on Mainstream Outside, a score in the 90s means top-tier territory—and a score in the 70s is still good. Below, you’ll find all reviews published on Mainstream Outside so far.
