Summary

Deep Rock Galactic has a TrueGG Rating of 95.2%: the positive share among 6,185 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 20+ hours, close to Steam's overall 97.1%. Players who really play it broadly agree with the headline number (all time: 98.0%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 3% of the total, with 80% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.

Beyond the first hours, approval is fairly even across playtime.

Negative reviews most often mention boredom, updates and the developers, and crashes and bugs.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 95.0%, similar to all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (97.1% 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.

03 / TRUEGG INSIGHTS

Why it is rated this way

What drives the rating

Complaints center on the game's design (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).
