How do players who really played TerraTech rate it? TrueGG Rating 93.2%

Release date: Aug 10, 2018 Data as of 2026-10-19 View on Steam ↗

Players who really played rate it about the same as Steam overall. Early impressions are weaker, so the first few hours tend to decide whether it clicks.

Good for

  • Players willing to push through a slow start
  • Players who like setting their own goals

Think twice if you are

  • Players who judge a game in the first hours (early ratings are lower)
  • Players bothered by bugs (reports of crashes and bugs)
  • Players buying on the promise of future updates (complaints about the developers)

Summary

TerraTech has a TrueGG Rating of 93.2%: the positive share among 424 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 20+ hours, close to Steam's overall 91.4%. Players who really play it broadly agree with the headline number (all time: 94.8%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 6% of the total, and only 63% 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.

Negative reviews most often mention crashes and bugs, updates and the developers, and controls and UI. Positive reviews praise how fun it feels and freedom.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 90.0%, similar to all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (91.1% 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.
