Summary

Cube World has a TrueGG Rating of 44.5%, based on all-time reviews from players with 5+ hours (11,182 reviews) because recent reviews are few. Steam's overall rating is 36.5%.

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 25% of the total, with 21% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.

In the last 180 days, reviews at 2–5h are 31% positive versus 68% at 50–100h: the more people play, the more they like it.

Positive reviews praise how fun it feels and community and co-op.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (36.2% 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 2026-10-17.
