Summary

WILD HEARTS has a TrueGG Rating of 59.4%, based on all-time reviews from players with 5+ hours (8,153 reviews) because recent reviews are few. Steam's overall rating is 46.9%.

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 23% of the total, and only 15% 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, reviews at 2–5h are 44% positive versus 71% at 200h+: the more people play, the more they like it.

Negative reviews most often mention crashes and bugs (more than at launch). Positive reviews praise how fun it feels, 難易度, and バランス.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 59.9%, similar to all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals gives 52.1% (+5.2 points vs Steam overall); keep this in mind when reading the headline number.

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.

Why it is rated this way

What drives the rating

Complaints center on technical quality (Crashes & bugs). These can be fixed, so check recent reviews too. It is also a game many people bounce off early (early reviews are much less positive than those of players who stuck with it).
