Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of DrumBeats VR steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This graph shows DrumBeats VR's Steam rating and reviews between February 2019 and November 2023. Steam's rating is in a range going from 82.1% (February 2019) to 64.8% (October 2022).

With 139 reviews, DrumBeats VR could be a decent indie success. The chart looks like a long tail distribution, which sometimes means that the marketing was concentrated on the game launch and then stopped, and that no major update or discounts followed.

Time Played

Chart displaying DrumBeats VR percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the number of hours played in DrumBeats VR, comparing positive and negative reviews. It also shows the reviews during Early Access. The time played is decent, reaching 7 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 6.3 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 24 minutes), it can be a sign that the game crashes on some systems or that players misunderstood the nature of the game (Does the Steam page clearly explain it, with gifs and a gameplay video ?). It can also mean that some players were somehow offended by DrumBeats VR and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
