Famitsu Review Scores (May 17, 2026): Saros Leads Weekly Roundup

Famitsu, the longstanding Japanese gaming magazine, published its weekly review scores for the period of May 17, 2026, with Saros emerging as the highest-scoring release in this round. The list covers a mix of new and recently released titles that industry readers will track for performance and critical reception. Famitsu's weekly scores remain a touchstone for coverage across outlets, retailers, and publisher reporting. Famitsu uses a four-editor review model where each editor assigns a score from 1 to 10, and the four scores are summed for a final tally out of 40. Rewritten for clarity: Famitsu's review methodology aggregates four independent editorial scores into a single total on a 40-point scale. This week's scores (each set lists the four individual editor scores followed by the total out of 40): - Saros — 9/9/9/9 (36/40). Saros topped the board this week with a near-unanimous set of high marks from Famitsu's reviewers. - Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club — 7/7/8/7 (29/40). Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club received a solid mid- to high-range reception from the panel. - Psyvariar 3 — 7/7/7/7 (28/40). Psyvariar 3 recorded a consistent set of scores across all four reviewers. - Akuma’s Paradise — 7/7/7/7 (28/40). Akuma’s Paradise matched Psyvariar 3 with an even set of sevens for a 28 total. - Sudden Strike 5 — 7/7/7/7 (28/40). Sudden Strike 5 completed the group of titles that earned 28 points in this week's review list. These scores provide a snapshot of critical sentiment from Famitsu's editorial team for the week of May 17, 2026.
