Summary

Rocket League holds an official Steam rating of 87.6%. After weighting 400 positive and 400 negative reviews by trust, the adjusted rating is 86.0% (95% range 85.5–86.5%), essentially the same as the official figure. Verdict: "Overrated" (the adjusted rating is 70% or higher, but the positive reviews carry low average trust).

Positive reviews contain more very short reviews (62% vs 35% of negative reviews). Average trust is 0.66 on the positive side and 0.76 on the negative side, which pulls the adjusted rating down.

Across 136 months of history, no month shows a concentrated wave of negative reviews. There is no sign of coordinated review activity.

The last 180 days show 69.2%, 18.4 points below the all-time figure. Sentiment over the past six months is weaker.

Japanese-language reviews (1,015) show 87.8%, close to the overall rating.

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.
