Summary

NARAKA: BLADEPOINT has a TrueGG Rating of 58.1%: the positive share among 3,748 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 50+ hours. That is 15.2 points below Steam's overall 73.3%, so players who really play the current version are harsher than the headline number suggests (all time: 66.7%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 4% of the total, and only 52% 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.

In the last 180 days, approval peaks at 78% around 2–5h and falls to 56% at 200h+: in the current version, long-time players are harsher.

Negative reviews most often mention servers (less than at launch) and updates and the developers (less than at launch). Positive reviews praise how fun it feels and the story.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (70.6% 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 live operations and online play (Servers & connection, Updates & developers). These shift over time, so weigh recent reviews more than the all-time figure.

Counted from 433 recent negative and 547 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
