Summary

Aniimo has a TrueGG Rating of 83.9%: the positive share among 14,791 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 10+ hours. That is 11.0 points above Steam's overall 72.9%, so players who really play the current version rate it higher than the headline number suggests (all time: 84.2%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 16% of the total, and only 31% 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.

In the last 180 days, approval peaks at 88% around 10–20h and falls to 57% at 200h+: in the current version, long-time players are harsher.

Negative reviews most often mention updates and the developers (more than at launch), cheaters, and crashes and bugs. Positive reviews praise how fun it feels and graphics and music.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (72.4% 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 2026-10-20.

Why it is rated this way

What drives the rating

Complaints center on live operations and online play (Updates & developers, Cheaters). These shift over time, so weigh recent reviews more than the all-time figure. It is also a game many people bounce off early (early reviews are much less positive than those of players who stuck with it).
