Summary

Fallout: New Vegas has a TrueGG Rating of 96.2%: the positive share among 5,508 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 20+ hours, close to Steam's overall 96.0%. Players who really play it broadly agree with the headline number (all time: 97.6%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 3% of the total, with 79% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.

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

Negative reviews most often mention crashes and bugs, pacing, and boredom. Positive reviews praise how fun it feels, 前作・シリーズ, and monetization and DLC.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 93.6%, similar to all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (95.9% 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 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).

Counted from 337 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
