Summary

Umbrella Corps has a TrueGG Rating of 40.0%, based on all-time reviews from players with 1+ hours (2,056 reviews) because recent reviews are few. Steam's overall rating is 31.6%.

Reviews written under 1 hour make up 39% of the total, with 19% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.

In the last 180 days, reviews at 1–2h are 29% positive versus 39% at 5–10h: the more people play, the more they like it.

Negative reviews most often mention the story, player base and matchmaking (less than at launch), and boredom. Positive reviews praise how fun it feels and community and co-op.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (34.0% 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 2026-10-17.

Why it is rated this way

What drives the rating

Complaints center on the game's design (Story, Boring / repetitive, Grind). These rarely change with updates, so the rating likely reflects the game itself. Judge by whether it suits you. It is also a game many people bounce off early (early reviews are much less positive than those of players who stuck with it).
