How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

| All-time Steam reviews | 83% | 77 | 1000 |
| Metacritic user ratings | – | 76 | 32 |

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate brings a new way of playing to fans of the green, teen heroes. The story, visuals, and gameplay are all great, though a few bugs hamper the experience. The simple roguelike elements won’t be too jarring for fans of the typical side-scrolling style of gameplay.”

“With a gameplay loop that effortlessly integrates the heroes in a half-shell into the world of roguelikes, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a fun and approachable 'Hades-like' that's best played with pals. However, despite the power of the IP and a co-op addition, it doesn't pack enough of a punch to avoid unfavourable comparisons to Supergiant's classic and constantly feels like it's on the back foot because of it. There is fun to be had here, but those who have spent time in the Underworld will find it hard to shake the feeling that this central loop has been done much better elsewhere.”

“The turtles might be stuck in a time loop, but Splintered Fate’s smooth combat, availability of multiple playstyles, and snappy presentation make sure it’s an entertaining, if somewhat bumpy, ride.”

“TMNT: Splintered Fate is a fun, approachable roguelike that finally gives the turtles a solid action-adventure with replayable loops and co-op charm. It’s not perfect, the genre has seen deeper systems elsewhere, and the base Switch version shows its hardware limitations, but it’s a worthy purchase for TMNT and roguelike fans alike. While the Switch 2 edition is the definitive way to play, Switch owners will still find a lot of enjoyment with this one, albeit with some limitations.”

“If you’re just playing because you like rougelikes, you’re not going to like Splintered Fate. But if you’re a fan of TMNT, you’re going to look past all the shortcomings and the gameplay itself, and you’ll enjoy the TMNT flair.”

“We have a roguelike with solid foundations, which delivers what is expected of the genre along with fluid and fun gameplay for up to four players. In addition, the variety of turtle abilities and upgrades give a good variation to the formula, allowing the use of several builds so that no player can find fault.”

“TMNT Splintered Fate also in PS5 version turns out to be a good roguelike in Ninja Turtles style, and also among the most successful of recent years if you think about games about turtles. It is not a game for those who want to experience an exciting story, but it is mainly aimed at those looking for a satisfying gameplay experience with the possibility of playing in multiplayer, both locally and in co-op.”

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate succeeds in delivering nostalgic and replayable TMNT action, featuring simple roguelite elements that don't get in the way of the game's arcade feel.”

“Much like the Darksiders games, Splintered Fate may be borrowing elements from other games, but it has its own identity. It's absolutely worth a shot, especially if you have the ability to play multiplayer regularly. It's good to see the Turtles in a game that's not ostensibly a brawler, and I was surprised by how well they took to the roguelite genre.”
