Summary
Manor Lords has a TrueGG Rating of 80.2%: the positive share among 5,530 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 10+ hours, close to Steam's overall 84.1%. Players who really play it broadly agree with the headline number (all time: 84.9%).
Reviews written under 2 hours make up 6% of the total, with 76% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.
In the last 180 days, reviews at 2–5h are 72% positive versus 85% at 200h+: the more people play, the more they like it.
Negative reviews most often mention crashes and bugs, 未完成・手抜き, and pacing (more than at launch). Positive reviews praise how fun it feels and graphics and music.
Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 61.8%, 18.4 points below all languages.
Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (82.3% 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.
