Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

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

This graph shows PERISH's Steam rating and reviews between February 2023 and December 2023. Steam's rating is very stable, varying from 72.7% (June 2023) to 74.4% (November 2023).

The 455 reviews Top 20% suggest that PERISH might be a reasonable indie success. The graph seems to be a long tailed distribution. That sometimes means that the marketing efforts were concentrated on the game launch, and that there was no major update or discounts after.

Time Played

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

This chart displays the time played in PERISH, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time played is adequate, reaching 18 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 4.5 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 137 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 PERISH and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
