Summary

Hades has a TrueGG Rating of 97.0%: the positive share among 5,289 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 20+ hours, close to Steam's overall 98.0%. Players who really play it broadly agree with the headline number (all time: 98.8%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 3% of the total, with 89% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.

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

Negative reviews most often mention boredom, grind, and pacing. Positive reviews praise how fun it feels.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 92.5%, similar to all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (97.8% 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.

Why it is rated this way

What drives the rating

Complaints center on the game's design (Boring / repetitive, Grind, Movement & pacing). These rarely change with updates, so the rating likely reflects the game itself. Judge by whether it suits you.

Counted from 401 recent negative and 600 positive reviews in Japanese and English, using our published topic dictionary. No AI is used. Topics overlap, so shares do not add up to 100%. Sarcasm and nuance are not detected, and this does not show cause and effect.How we count
