Summary

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy holds an official Steam rating of 82.3%. After weighting 400 positive and 400 negative reviews by trust, the adjusted rating is 83.6% (95% range 82.8–84.2%), essentially the same as the official figure. Verdict: "Genuinely great" (the adjusted rating is 70% or higher and the positive reviews carry high average trust).

The main driver is that negative reviews include more reviews written with under 2 hours played (36% of negative vs 23% of positive). Negative reviews therefore average 0.69 in trust against 0.75 for positive ones.

The monthly history (107 months) has no month where volume and negative share jumped together. The rating does not appear to be driven by a single episode.

The last 180 days show 77.5% (last 30 days: 75.4%), close to the all-time figure.

Japanese-language reviews (1,507) show 82.2%, close to the overall rating. In the last 180 days, Japanese-language reviews show 71.4%.

The adjusted rating estimates trust from how reviews are written; it does not judge any individual review as fake. Data as of 2026-10-12.
