  • Players relying on Japanese (Japanese reviews rate it lower)

Summary

Resident Evil Village has a TrueGG Rating of 97.3%: the positive share among 8,783 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 10+ hours, close to Steam's overall 95.6%. Players who really play it broadly agree with the headline number (all time: 96.9%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 3% of the total, and only 73% of them are positive. Some players bounce off early, but those who get past the opening rate it higher. Steam accepts refund requests within 2 hours of play and 14 days of purchase.

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

Negative reviews most often mention boredom (more than at launch), pacing, and performance (less than at launch). Positive reviews praise how fun it feels.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 88.1%, 9.2 points below all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (95.4% 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.

03 / TRUEGG INSIGHTS

Why it is rated this way

What drives the rating

Complaints center on the game's design (Boring / repetitive, Movement & pacing). These rarely change with updates, so the rating likely reflects the game itself. Judge by whether it suits you. It is also a game many people bounce off early (early reviews are much less positive than those of players who stuck with it).
