02 / TRUEGG INSIGHTS

Summary

The Vagrant has a TrueGG Rating of 93.2%, based on all-time reviews from players with 5+ hours (6,172 reviews) because recent reviews are few. Steam's overall rating is 89.6%.

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 13% of the total, with 72% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.

In the last 180 days, reviews at 2–5h are 88% positive versus 96% at 20–50h: the more people play, the more they like it.

Negative reviews most often mention boredom, controls and UI, and grind. Positive reviews praise how fun it feels, price, and 難易度.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 88.5%, similar to all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (90.3% 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, Controls, UI & camera, Grind, Movement & pacing). 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).
