Summary

Ori and the Will of the Wisps has a TrueGG Rating of 96.6%: the positive share among 5,751 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 10+ hours, close to Steam's overall 96.4%. Players who really play it broadly agree with the headline number (all time: 97.8%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 4% of the total, with 84% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.

Beyond the first hours, approval is fairly even across playtime.

Negative reviews most often mention updates and the developers (less than at launch), boredom, and crashes and bugs (less than at launch). Positive reviews praise graphics and music, how fun it feels, and the story.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 94.0%, similar to all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (96.4% adjusted), so Steam's number is not noticeably distorted by key giveaways or throwaway reviews.

All figures come from Steam's public review counts, and topics are counted with our published dictionary (no AI). Data as of 2026-10-19.
