Scores captured on 16 October 2026
| Source and scope | Snapshot | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Steam, English, all-time | Very Positive, 88%, 958 reviews | 843 positive; language-specific sample |
| Steam, recent 30 days, all languages | Mixed, 42%, 79 reviews | 33 positive; not the same population as the English all-time row |
| Metacritic, Switch 2 | 76, 9 critic reviews | Critic aggregation, not a player approval percentage |
These are dated snapshots, not live counters. The Steam store’s review summary distinguishes the English all-time sample from the all-language recent sample; the difference alone does not prove a causal trend. CGMagazine and Nintendo Life publish Switch 2 reviews. Read the full reviews rather than treating a critic score as a performance measurement.
How I would use this before buying
The price is $34.99 on every launched platform, and Early Access owners were moved to 1.0 free. There is no local co-op. Patches landed fast: v1.1.9 with the 1.0 notes on 14 October and a v1.1.11 hotfix on 15 October. If you need a stable build, read the update list the same day you buy. Comparison with Patapon is a different question: Ratatan and Patapon.

Questions
Is Ratatan worth $34.99?
Critics on Switch 2 sat around 76–90. Steam’s all-time English score was very positive and the newest month was mixed. Read both before you decide.
Why did the recent score fall?
The page does not invent a cause. The calendar fact is that 1.0 launched on 14–15 October and two patches shipped inside three days.
