Summary

Don't Starve Together has a TrueGG Rating of 93.3%: the positive share among 10,879 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 20+ hours, close to Steam's overall 94.9%. Players who really play it broadly agree with the headline number (all time: 96.4%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 5% of the total, with 83% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.

In the last 180 days, reviews at 2–5h are 85% positive versus 93% at 200h+: the more people play, the more they like it.

Negative reviews most often mention boredom. Positive reviews praise how fun it feels and community and co-op.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 95.5%, similar to all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (94.6% 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 the game's design (Boring / repetitive). These rarely change with updates, so the rating likely reflects the game itself. Judge by whether it suits you.
