Summary

BioShock Infinite has a TrueGG Rating of 91.0%: the positive share among 1,705 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: 94.7%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 4% 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 (more than at launch) and crashes and bugs (more than at launch). Positive reviews praise how fun it feels, the world and atmosphere, and performance.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 91.3%, similar to all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (93.2% 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.

Why it is rated this way

What drives the rating

Complaints center on the game's design (Boring / repetitive). These rarely change with updates, so the rating likely reflects the game itself. Judge by whether it suits you.
