02 / TRUEGG INSIGHTS

Summary

Hand Simulator has a TrueGG Rating of 90.9%, based on all-time reviews from players with 2+ hours (24,079 reviews) because recent reviews are few. Steam's overall rating is 83.7%.

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 34% of the total, with 70% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.

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

Negative reviews most often mention controls and UI. Positive reviews praise how fun it feels and community and co-op.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 92.6%, similar to all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (86.0% 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 2026-10-19.

03 / TRUEGG INSIGHTS

Why it is rated this way

What drives the rating

Complaints center on the game's design (Controls, UI & camera). 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).

Counted from 354 recent negative and 600 positive reviews in Japanese and English, using our published topic dictionary. No AI is used. Topics overlap, so shares do not add up to 100%. Sarcasm and nuance are not detected, and this does not show cause and effect.How we count
