02 / TRUEGG INSIGHTS

Summary

Identity has a TrueGG Rating of 18.4%, based on all-time reviews from players with 1+ hours (1,329 reviews) because recent reviews are few. Steam's overall rating is 14.7%.

Reviews written under 1 hour make up 39% of the total, with 9% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.

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

Positive reviews praise crashes and bugs, servers, and how fun it feels.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (16.7% 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 2026-10-17.
