Genuinely great 800 positive and 800 negative reviews analyzed · data as of 2026-10-12
Summary
Vampire Survivors holds an official Steam rating of 98.3%. After weighting 800 positive and 800 negative reviews by trust, the adjusted rating is 98.3% (95% range 98.3–98.4%), essentially the same as the official figure. Verdict: "Genuinely great" (the adjusted rating is 70% or higher and the positive reviews carry high average trust).
Average trust is 0.78 for positive and 0.77 for negative reviews, but the gap is too small to move the official rating much. The most common discount factor is very short reviews, at 43% of all reviews.
The monthly history (59 months) has no month where volume and negative share jumped together. The rating does not appear to be driven by a single episode.
The last 180 days show 95.4% (last 30 days: 94.0%), close to the all-time figure.
Japanese-language reviews (3,711) show 97.1%, close to the overall rating. In the last 180 days, Japanese-language reviews show 94.4%.
The adjusted rating estimates trust from how reviews are written; it does not judge any individual review as fake. Data as of 2026-10-12.
