Summary
No Case Should Remain Unsolved has a TrueGG Rating of 95.4%: the positive share among 958 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 2+ hours, close to Steam's overall 96.4%. Players who really play it broadly agree with the headline number (all time: 96.8%).
Reviews written under 2 hours make up 11% of the total, with 93% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.
Negative reviews most often mention translation, price, and grind. Positive reviews praise graphics and music.
Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 95.9%, similar to all languages.
Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (96.4% 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.
