Summary

CODE VEIN holds an official Steam rating of 83.0%. After weighting 400 positive and 400 negative reviews by trust, the adjusted rating is 83.0% (95% range 82.4–83.5%), 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).

Japanese-language reviews alone show 66.2% (1,087 reviews, 95% range 63.3–68.9%), 16.8 points below the overall rating. Players writing in Japanese are noticeably less positive. In the last 180 days, Japanese-language reviews show 64.5%.

Positive reviews average 0.81 in trust and negative ones 0.81; the difference shifts the rating by less than one point. The most common discount factor is very short reviews (24% overall).

The monthly history (86 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 68.0%, 14.9 points below the all-time figure. Sentiment over the past six months is weaker.

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.
