Summary
Kerbal Space Program 2 has a TrueGG Rating of 30.9%: the positive share among 576 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 5+ hours. That is 5.4 points above Steam's overall 25.5%, so players who really play the current version rate it higher than the headline number suggests (all time: 26.4%).
Reviews written under 2 hours make up 22% of the total, with 20% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.
Negative reviews most often mention updates and the developers, 未完成・手抜き (less than at launch), and 前作・シリーズ (less than at launch). Positive reviews praise how fun it feels.
Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (23.6% 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.
