Summary

PC Building Simulator has a TrueGG Rating of 92.6%: the positive share among 326 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 10+ hours, close to Steam's overall 93.5%. Players who really play it broadly agree with the headline number (all time: 95.3%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 8% of the total, with 78% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.

Negative reviews most often mention updates and the developers, crashes and bugs, and boredom. Positive reviews praise how fun it feels and performance.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 88.4%, similar to all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (93.7% 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.
